Outside tables are in the middle of an intersection. Food was the saltiest I’ve ever tried. Bombas were still frozen inside (were then removed front he check). Service was good

The steak was not cooked well. Felt like food was a tourist trap off of Las Ramblas.

The menu, at first glance, looks typical, but it's not. The food delighted us -- it was creative mix of tasty flavors. Every dish was delicious. The eating was great! The service left something to be desired. Especially for a not-so-busy night (maybe there were fewer staff members?) but we felt a bit ignored. There's something about feeling cared-for by a wait staff, and that was not the experience here. But the food, delicious, and reasonably priced.

Really nice small restaurant and bar - much used by local people and food and drink delicious and reasonably priced. Quite simple but very appealing venue that is so close Plaza Catalunya but did not feel touristy and was friendly and welcoming . Booking table online was useful as even midweek in Feb got quite busy by 8pm - also gave us a 30% discount on the food !!
