9/10The food and atmosphere were terrific. We were seated in the kitchen area Our initial waiter was unhappy we didn’t order bottled water …I asked for tap water…and later he reluctantly served it. He brought our wine, poured the first glass, then never served us again. The manager brought our starter and main dish, we had to hunt down someone for the check….food great, service disappointing…

8/10What an extraordinary restaurant! We were very excited about our adventure to such an old establishment. Walking through the kitchens was a great start! Then through a myriad of intimate, atmospheric rooms until we were shown our table which was in a large room with a main service hatch area and steps to the loos. We were the only guests in there for most of the night. There was no atmosphere at all which was such a shame. Our waiter was delightful and the food came quickly. I would say that we had far far better food in other restaurants in Barcelona at considerably less cost. Here, you pay for quirkyness and old age not amazing food. Personally, I don’t need to go back.

3.5/10It was too chaotic. The waiter was running around and only spoke to us a few times. My husband spilled water on the table and the waiter wouldn’t get us a dry tablecloth. I asked waiter 3 times for a dry napkin & finally got one from another worker. Bread never came to table. My husband’s beef medallions were terrible but my cod was just okay. We couldn’t get out of there fast enough. The building is beautiful though.

5.5/10I’ve been coming here since the early 1980s. Both privately and hosting small business dinners. It has been ‘touristy’ for decades, so that wasn’t the issue. The food was ok. The service polite, but slightly less than ok. And the atmosphere just felt like it had lost something. I think I’m done.

9/10+3Of course, I had to try the caracoles, e.g. the snails. I have to say that I am not a big fan. I really didn't like the brown sauce and it was a huge plate for one person. The chicken was quite nice. I would like to go back and have the cochinillo (suckling pig) or the cabrito (kid). The service was very good. I sat right next to the open kitchen.

5.5/10All dishes were not delicious. I have been here few years ago - so is very sad to see how the level actually dropped down..

10/10Everything about our visit to los Caracoles was memorable and perfect! The food was excellent, the ambience was wonderful the place is so charming and warm and cozy inside with all the different spaces, it's a place that you just want to linger along after you have finished your dinner. We went there on a recommendation from a friend who said it was one of his favorite restaurants and it did not disappoint. We will definitely return on our next visit to Barcelona!

7.5/10The place is well worth a visit because of its history, however the atmosphere is not as welcoming as you would like. Despite having a reservation and being on time, you may have to queue inside to be seated by the lady managing the tables who takes your name without a smile. Your presence upsets the waiters who cannot move around in the narrow space between the bar and the kitchen. Once seated, be prepared to wait a long time before receiving your dishes, that will be served barely warm. Our roast chicken, steak and codfish were good but the French fries were soggy. The overall experience was just average.

7.5/10My wife and I have been here before and brought some visiting friends this time. I didn't catch it on the bill last time we were there but the bread they put on the table without asking is not free. It shows up on the bill at almost 2 euro's a bun. So not only is it not cool to put bread on the table without asking. as if it was free, but it is more then twice the cost as our local bakery. Very deceiving! We will not be going back.
