4/10If you want your starters and one of your mains to come out together then this is the restaurant for you! My fiancée didn't even get her main. We had to cancel it 20 minutes after I finished my cold food! Singers were great though

10/10Short break to barcelona. Very helpful staff- described and reccomended with pleasure. Great food. Best steak, best cheesecake( after a recommendation from a waiter-thanks again) would go back again but flying back tomorrow. Would come back to Barcelona solely for that dining experience again.

6/10It may have been it choices… but didn’t enjoy the tapas… particularly the mussels which were so over cooked they had shrivelled to almost nothing. Just couldn’t be bothered complaining. I found the ridge on the edge of wooden seats so uncomfortable I had to put my husband’s jumper under my legs!

10/10It had been recommended to us by friends, and we were not disappointed! The live music was lovely, the food was beyond amazing and the service very nice. We had Jamon (a whole plancha), Ceviche with nachos (big portion), tomato bread (fresh, chewy and with a beautiful crust) Croquetas of squid (mind blown), king prawn salad with fresh cheese and 2 huge glass of wine. The whole thing was enough to easily feed 4 people for about 25 euros per person. Awesome location of course and wonderful magical decor. It was the best evening I had in years.

10/10Great service, wonderful food and ambiance. Ordered ceviche and squid ink paella for two. The paella was delicious, better than any we had before. The cava sangria was very strong. What a steal, with the discount. Definitely worth a visit.

7.5/10The food was really nice, the place had a nice athmosphere with live music. The only thing that they didn’t apply the Fork discount automatically, we needed to ask for it…

9/10We ordered 6 tapas for two people which was probably one dish too many as serving sizes were quite large. The server suggested to bring the tapas sequentially which we affirmed. Nevertheless almost all of them came out at virtually the same time so we didn't even have enough space on the table and felt rushed as food was getting cold. Menu on both The Fork and the restaurant's website are outdated and prices are now higher and reflect the prime location of the restaurant. A 0.25l sparkling water for 4 Euros feels overpriced. Due to The Fork Summer discount the meal was still great value and food was fresh and tasty.

10/10The service was really good and the food was amazing. Super well served, nicely decorated and good quality. They gave us first the bill with the normal price, but I showed her the booking with the fork and she immediately changed the invoice and gave us the 50% off food. All good.

8.5/10The waiters were very kind and helpful, the ambience really nice. I think live music was about to start but we left just before. The paella was good and also the calamari. However the spaghetti bolognese for that I ordered for my child were very greasy, however my boy loved them anyway

6.5/10The food was not good. Patatas bravas were bought frozen. We were made to move table during eating. There were hairs on the napkins. €5 for a tiny bottle of water. The prices of the food was way too high, not worth it even with 50% off. Seemed like a tourist trap.

5/10As we went with a The Fork discount we were not allowed to choose a table on the terrace. We ordered a simple starter of croquettes which took 45 minutes to arrive at the table. The main courses took an hour (the children were already asleep at the table) and the meat was completely burnt. We made a complain and they brought us another plate. We left the restaurant exhausted from waiting so long and very upset. An experience not to repeat for sure.

10/10Great service and food, the paillea was amazing. Also, it comes for one as my partner wanted seafood ligunie, which was great too. And to finish chocolate bomb starters were very good too. The restaurant is not too busy as it's in a very busy Square. Oh and eddy Murphy chocolate was a very interesting character.

5/10It doesn’t feel like they got their hearts in it. If you don’t look closely, you won’t notice, that the place is a bit worn down, and the cleaning is lagging. I’m sure this restaurant used to be fantastic, but my meal tonight left much to be wished for. Grilled vegetables that I suspect was re-heated which I couldn’t say for the romanesco sauce. It was easy to see on every plate of tapas, that the most expensive ingredient was the least domminant (eg. two shrimps on a shrimp salad). They almost pulled of the bruschetta, but it had pineapple on it. This restaurant has every opportunity and placement to stand out, but it need a change of tune, and not just the corny songs playing in the restaurant. There are so many great restaurants in this area and pricerange, so I won’t be coming back. But the people around me seemed to like it, so it might be a question of taste.
