2/10I went with 2 other people. We ordered veal cheeks and a paella. The veal cheeks came with a barbeque sauce and mashed potatos. I couldn’t taste or see the veal cheeks. I believe it came from a catering service. The paella was small, salty and premade, about 2 cms depth. Also, the place didn’t have bread. One of my friends went to a place to get bread. Imaginate! In the end, we gave our complaints and the place refunded our money for all of the food. 21 euros for veal cheeks and 46 euros for a 2 person paella is way too high for premade food. The workers understood that this “food”was not worth 57 euros. I don’t understand how this place can have such high ratings. I would definitely recommend a different place.

9/10Olivia’s was very good - both the veal cheeks and the burrata salad were excellent. However, they didn’t have several other items on the menu, some of which we wanted to try. They also had only still water, not sparkling, which was a disappointment.

10/10We had a fantastic dining experience at Olivia Bistro last night. From the moment we arrived, Trini and the team made us feel incredibly welcome and well looked after. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We started with a beautifully presented cheese and meat platter — a perfect balance of flavours and textures to whet the appetite. For mains, the paella was rich and satisfying, packed with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The veal cheeks were melt-in-your-mouth tender and full of depth — truly a standout dish. The wine selection complemented the meal wonderfully, rounding off an evening of indulgence and delight. Highly recommend Olivia Bistro for anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a cozy, inviting setting.

10/10What a fab find….. great value ( with the Fork deal) and the most delicious food. The humour was nothing short of remarkable. Please note you probably have to book because this place is very popular for good reasons.

8.5/10The flavours were all impeccable from the eggplant tostada to the 🐙. Veal cheeks tender and savoury. Paella good but not exceptional. Dulce de leche postre saborisimo!!!! Without the 40% fork discount it would have been overpriced for lunch. With was normal pricing. Overall a great experience.

10/10Service was very good, food was excellent, however we were not able to finish our meal as my wife's phone was stolen from our table. We were sitting outside when approached by a young man, he haf a sheet of paper which he put on our table. He was talking nonsense and after being told to leave a number of times he left, we didn't notice that he had put the paper on top of the phone and lifted it. I ran off to try and find him while a waiter called the police. I couldn't find him, we then spent almost 2 hours in a police station. We were well aware of the problems in Barcelona but we caught off guard. Please don't let this put you off eating at Olivia Bistro, just be very aware of people who are not staff approach your table, or eat inside. Thanks again to the staff for their concern, help and understanding.

8/10I would have left a full-star review, but I was charged more than I should have been—even without considering any discounts. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the mistake at the time because I was in a rush, so that’s on me. Just a heads-up to double-check your bill before paying.

Had our first meal in Barcelona here and it was perfect. Our server, Trini made great recommendations of the hummus and octopus paella. Both were delicious! Interesting flavors and perfectly prepared. Sangria was also top notch. Friendly service with food that is lovingly made!
