    A nice small location, which doesn't primarily look as a restaurant but more as a library / bar. The atmosphere was absolutely nice, a bit feeling at home with all those books. The service was nice, the food was OK, certainly not spectacular but OK, but to be honest I have had better food, eitherwise the price was absolutely not high. let's finalize OK food for an OK price. Only a pity the didn't serve coffee at the end

    We had a great time at Story- great recommendation from a friend. The main dishes were all well executed, as were the craft cocktails. One of my sons devoured the club sandwich, my daughter enjoyed the salmon sashimi, my duck confit was succulent, and the wine was great, and a good value. Also enjoyed the live music- played obscure old standards! Highly recommend.

    Excellent food and friendly service in a lovely setting. The cocktails were wonderful and the jazz singer added to a perfect evening.

    I found this place a few years ago when I first visited Barcelona and it’s one of my favourites… the food is excellent and it’s so cosy and intimate inside - it feels like a little haven to go hide in when you need a break from walking around town - at any time of day or night - I love it x

    Service was good. The atmosphere was great. However, the food was just okay and the duck was terrible. In fact, it tasted spoiled.

    Our food was delicious and the drinks were exceptional. Most enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere you could have. This spot is lovely for conversation and quite friendly staff. Best whiskey sour I've had.

    We’ve eaten in many places while in Barcelona over the last few months and this was a real stand-out for us! The cocktails are superb too - very more-ish! and the staff so friendly. We highly recommend it.

    My husband and I had two cocktails, the mango salad and the duck entree. All were delicious. The restaurant is charming. One of our best meals while in Barcelona.

    Story was an amazing location! The food was amazing, ambience is wonderful, and the service was unparalleled. Definitely try the cheese charcuterie boards. Wonderful!

    For a casual dinner / bar snack style of experience it has a lot going for it. Nice feel of a book shop. Not fine dining by any means but prefect for a casual meal.

    Small cozy place. Nice music. Nice salmon. Also the tuna is not bad. Good baked cheese. Nice for a small meal. Water too expensive. Portions not that big.

    Lovely bar with bar food, beautiful coctails, Tue and Thu live music. 10 points as a bar but perhaps the current average Fork rating of 9+ might be a bit misleading when you head for food.

    Story

    we understand you dont like our kitchen but the overall rating on the fork is given by the people not the fork itself,sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for coming.

    A great little restaurant/bar in the Born district with library-style decor. A short very good menu and friendly service. Try it for couples or small groups.
