    The cod wasn't fully cooked, and my fish and chips were clearly defrosted

    We visited Glaciar several times during our stay in Barcelona and all times everything went great. Delicious food, great cocktails and excellent service. Definitely recommend.

    3.5/10

    The waiters were friendly, but the service was chaotic. We had one incorrect drink at the table, and needed to ask 3 times with long waiting before the correct drink was served. The food was served quicker and we ordered paella, so that was already a sign... The paella was very, very, very disappointing! To be rated third on TripAdvisor, our expectations were high, but we couldn't be more disappointed. It was a small portion, with very few ingredients... Even the paella in a supermarket is better! Definitely not worth the price! 24,20€ (terrace tax included) 😮

    Lovely old fashioned restaurant tucked away in the corner of Placa Real. Decently priced food, quick service and friendly waiters

    We had a nice bottle of rose, along with some tapas. For mains we had a super moist and delicious Iberian Pork and a just OK Codfish dish. Food was generally good, although I don't like being charged for water and the 10% to sit on their patio. Nevertheless, we would go again.

    This restaurant had a very nice ambience and polite staff. But the food was not good. Tapas was just ok. We had the 1/2 chicken dish and was row inside, very dangerous when comes to chicken. The beef was also not well done as we asked but this is almost ok. The drinks were good.

    This is a lovely restaurant tucked in the corner of the courtyard. It was quite quiet, but we were so impressed with the food. Everything was delicious and well cooked. Including the great apple dessert!

    The quality of the food did not match the price. The garlic prawns, tortilla de patatas, and calamares portions were small. The Prawns (6nr) were actually the boiled ones. Steak and burgers were good but overall the price to quality is not good.

    It was my mom's birthday, and I booked a table with a very short notice (15 min). They were able to serv a dessert with a candle on it, which I really appreciate.

    location is super nice, on a square close to the madness of ramblas service was good, our greek waiter spoke perfect english and spanish food came fast, but it was not the best paying took quite a while, many times is due to too few waiters, not bad service

    What a pleasant surprise it was for us. The restaurant was well reviewed on the Fork but the location on highly touristic Plaza Real had its feeling a little nervous that we had stumbled into a restaurant like the ones that line the Ramblas nearby. Certainly, the clientele are mostly tourists but all appeared happy. We ate indoors which was quieter and more comfortable than the tables outside. The wine and food were very good. Dishes came out quickly and were hot and well prepared. But most of all, we appreciated our friendly, helpful waiter, Javier, who really made the evening great for us.

    Although I booked via the fork, the restaurant seemed confused with our booking when we arrived. In addition, we were seated outside, only to be told later that outside seating attracted an extra 10% charge. The food was a bit ‘hit and miss’, whilst some of our group enjoyed the tapas, the steaks that were ordered were very disappointing as they were very gristly and fatty. On the plus side, in the centre of the table is a call button for the waiter and the staff were very attentive.

    Glaciar is a prime location on the Plaza. Unfortunately, despite an empty patio, we were seated next to a graffitied electrical box and behind a column so there wasn't much ambience to enjoy. The wait staff was very attentive and spoke English (if needed) but the food was very mediocre. We had an early dinner and ordered tapas. The crispy potatoes were essentially French fries. The tortilla espanola was very oily. The cheese platter and shrimp were good as was the sangria. We were supposed to get 20% off our bill through Fork for an early reservation but that didn't materialize. Also notable - despite the restaurant not being crowded upon our arrival, I gave my name but was required to show an email confirmation of my reservation. Make sure to have it handy. I wouldn't prioritize another visit to this restaurant.

    Had to ask for part of the order to be delivered. Dessert had to be sent back to kitchen, they redid it and we did not have to pay for it. Otherwise, nice food and wine.

    It was really really good. The paella and sangria was fantastic. Beautiful area and off Las Ramblas craziness but only a few steps off. Loved the ambience and quick service.

    The food was just ok. Not the best paella eaten in Barcelona but ok. The famous cannelloni was not that special. On the other hand the cheese plate and the tomato bread was excellent. The personnel did it's best. Very polite and ready to make you feel comfortable. I wouldn't go again but if you are in place reail and want to dine it is more than ok. Besides they gave us a discount of 30%.

    A few slip ups on order and was not informed terrace prices were 10% higher than inside. We only noticed this information on the menu after being seated . Not any veg or salad with main courses but didn't see any sides on menu.

    The female waitresses were rude, ignored our table and other customers, despite it being quiet. Acted like they did not want to be there. Fortunately, we were greeted by a lovely male server and at the end of the meal were given complimentary drinks from another lovely gentlemen, which did go some way to make the experience better. Unfortunately the food was also disappointing, the pasta was bland and the portions were small

    The eggplant and honey is sensational… great service, great food! My only critique would be that it’s a little quiet and can be livened up a little with some music and maybe update the decor… other than that was lovely!

    Food was great! Service was great, I think we went at a really quiet time which suited us so if you want something low key and chill this is your place, also great for people watching

    Our booking was for Friday 17th at 19:30. During the course of the day we visited the restaurant and asked for the booking to be moved to 20:30 which was agreed. Upon arrival we where told (booking of 5) that we hadn't arrived on time! No one had communicated the change, it wasn't their fault, no room for us, but we could sit outside. We had a great time and food across the square, so to be honest, very pleased they really didn't care.
