The wine and food was outstanding, particularly the pork cheek snack. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food and wine.

Innovative, fresh and tasty modern Spanish cuisine. Busy and sometimes hard to get waiters attention despite restaurant being quite small. Washrooms a bit disappointing (cramped, no towels, water cold). We were rushed out after 1h and 15’ despite being told we had the table for 2 hours. But food was really very good.

Food was very good. The ambience nice. BUT… the service was very pushy. Awful, really. Seems they can’t get you out of there fast enough. Second course arrived at our table before we were finished the first. Brought the bill to our table before we even asked for it. Won’t go back.

We booked a reservation and it took them 30minutes to get us seated. They were so pushy with us ordering more food. Portions are tiny.

Good hot and cold tapas - good selection for a mix of 6 adults. Service was well paced and food was not overpriced.

Food is a bit overpriced for the amount that is served, but I guess that is what you call tapas.

Booked for 10.30 and immediately told the kitchen was closing in 5 mins. We were rushed to order and one of the waiters in particular made us feel like a total inconvenience. Our food order was wrong with one dish and they refused to fix it because the kitchen was closed. The food and the wine were both delicious but overall it was a very poor experience.

This was my second time at Orvay, and the food is just incredible. So very, very good. The staff is friendly, the cocktails are great, and it's not even very expensive. Easily the best place I've eaten in Barcelona (and that's saying a lot, because there's a lot of good restaurants in Barcelona), will gladly return whenever I'm in town again.

Elm is amazing, nice old building with high ceilings and good music. Food arrived fast and all was correct, waiter was pleasant. It’s 4/5, and these are minor but improvements: - bread basket arrived with cold starters it was hard to eat, we asked it to be heated and it was much better that way - talking of starters, cold out of the fridge. It’s understandable, but burrata had to wait for 5 minutes to warm up on our table - mains were fantastic, also deer could’ve been less chewy - coffee and chocolate mouse were delicious, also mouse fridge cold and coffee a couple minutes after being prepared so rather warm Hope these serve as useful improvement! Would be great to be back again, thank you Elm team!

Wow! Wonderful food. Great service! I came alone on a Saturday for a late lunch and was treated so well. Sometimes as a table for 1 they act odd to me and I was here on work so was that, alone. I felt so welcome. My waitress was so sweet. Even charged my phone for me. I let her select my tapas and cava and the food was exquisite! I also loved walking around this area of Barcelona that I had not been to yet!

Wow. The place was very hospitable and accommodating. We took all their recommendations. The wine list was perfect with lots of options. We eat every starter taps and few main dishes on the menu. A group of 6 Canadians travelling thru Spain, we have some good meals but this one was on the top of the list. Great job everyone.

The quality of the food was disappointing. My sashimi contain salted salmon instead of fresh one. This is unacceptable. The deer tar tar was very strange, couldn’t eat it.
