I enjoyed the food yet these were some things to be improved: I had to return a fish dish twice since there were fish scales in them Bread crumbs were not cleared until dessert came The parmentier was dry and inedible They were training a new waiter just with me Definitely not worth the money spent

Dear Isabel, Thank you for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the culinary offerings at Fonda Espanya Restaurante, where we pride ourselves on over 160 years of gastronomic tradition and the creativity of our esteemed chefs, Martin Berasategui and Eduardo Rodas. However, it appears that several aspects of your visit did not meet our high standards. We are sincerely sorry for the oversight with your fish dish and the delay in clearing the table. Regarding the quality of the parmentier, we truly apologize for any disappointment it caused. We also regret that the training of our new staff member affected your dining experience. Please be assured that we value your feedback and take it seriously as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.

The restaurant is a strange place - very high ceilings and various features on the ceiling and walls create an impression of a museum, but there is very little coziness and comfort. Strange open space for coats in the dining room. Overall, it felt like the restaurant was there by mistake. We had menu Rosa and it was mostly great. Only the mains were a miss - turbot was too salty and the pork was surprisingly chewy. Overall, not bad, but certainly not spectacular.

The restaurant is located in a 4-star historical hotel. In the evening, it offers a set menu that includes nine or more dishes. I chose nine dishes and a kid's menu for my son. The kid’s menu was much better than what we usually find in the south of France—it tasted delicious. The seafood dish had a Japanese twist, with a great presentation and excellent flavor. I especially enjoyed the local pork dish—it might be the best I've ever had. There was also a good selection of beverages. The service was efficient and professional. In the end, we had a reasonable bill for our last dinner in this busy city. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys fine dining.

This is one of the hidden gems of Barcelona. The food and service are excellent - the setting it amazing. The restaurant is located in one of the signature projects by Lluis Domenech i Montaner, the "father of Catalan Modernisme". It is a experience that is worth seeking out.

The food and service were both excellent and good value for the quality. It was just a shame the restaurant was so quiet. We were very surprised that there was only ourselves and two other diners on a Thursday night, obviously this effected the ambience of the experience, but credit to the restaurant for not cancelling on us.
