    probably the best meal so far and very reasonable. No English spoken but our waiter had some good recommendations.

    Vivant was the best restaurant we've eaten at while vacationing in Barcelona. The dishes were all delicious and unique, the flavors bold yet delicate. The restaurant owner was very friendly and the staff gave outstanding service.

    As good, if of not better, than in previous visits. We come here several times a year and we are glad to report that unlike many other restaurants in Barcelona, and every place else, the quality of the food and the price/value is outstanding. The service is always good as the owner is always there and makes sure you are welcomed snd well taking care of. Looking forward to our next visit in a couple of weeks.

    Nice but small restaurant. Orginal menu, good quality food. The house wine do not match the quality of the food but are very reasonably priced. Excellent restaurant with excellent service and creative menu.

    Beautiful place, interesting menu, but don’t take Sangria or Tinto verano, there they are the worst ever. Food is average, nothing impressive. The waiter was not really interested in serving us. Overall I wouldn’t return.

    The food is truly excellent. Good portions, well seasoned and one of the best I’d eaten in Barcelona. Very good value too, not London or Paris prices. Recommended.

    Excellent food and service at reasonable prices. We have been coming here for several years and it never disappoints. The food is fresh and high quality, well prepared and nicely presented, the wine list is short but interesting and well priced, and the service is very good. The ambiance very pleasant perfect for a romantic evening, a business dinner, or a fun night with friends, the background music is very cool and at a perfect volume to be heard but still carry on a conversation. The prices are very reasonable, below what one would expect to pay for this type of food in a restaurant as pleasant and civilized as this.

    Fantastic experience at Vivant, the staff were extremely professional and treated you with care. Atmosphere cool and well laid out space. Multiple settings within one restaurant. The specials, regular menu, and beverages were excellent. They had a variety of flavors and tastes to please any diner. Highly recommend

    Wonderful food, service, and decor. Despite this, there were not many patrons during our visit which could be our fault because we ate at the earlier end for Barcelona (8:00pm)!

    Based on reviews we booked this small restaurant online. The staff were very friendly. There's a small menu plus some specials but we found enough things to attract us for a 3 course dinner. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Overall, a definite recommend

    They have shortened their menu but still has enough choices to satisfy any preferences. Sadly they have discontinued my favorite desert, the bread with olive oil, chocolate and salt

    We have been going to Vivant for six years and have always found the food and service very good but seems like in the past few months they have made some subtle changes and some dishes are not as good as they used to be. Having said that it still is one of the best restaurants in Barcelona at that price level

    Still an interesting menu, good service, ambiance and prices. But somehow it is missing something from before. The food while still good is a little rougher, a little heavier, same menu but just different execution. Overall it is a great place with a good menu and excellent service. Still one of our favorite restaurants in Barcelona

    Always dependably good food, excellent service, reasonable prices. Small menu so those of us who go there regularly repeat some of our favorites over again, but no complaints about it. We love some of our favorite dishes, tuna, magrit, canelones, steak with foi gras, all worth repeating. And if this is your first visit share the chocolate with bread, salt and olive oil for dessert, unforgettable.

    Excellent food and service, well prepared imaginative dishes and a very good value. We highly recommend it. The setting is nice and intimate, just about a dozen tables and two or three tables outside. The menu has been reduced quite a bit in the last year due to the Covid conditions but stayed kept some of their best dishes.

    Amazing food, ordered the Bomba Boqueron and Huevos con Jamon as starters, both were really good. For main dishes we shared the Octopus and the Pluma Iberica, amazing as well. Definitely coming back!

    The dishes were correct. Royal portions, fresh and flavourful. Unfortunately the steak tartare was served last, after the cannelloni with foie and was over seasoned. Pity, because a refreshing steak tartare fits best at the beginning of the meal.

    The food was really good but the service slow. The restaurant was full and there were two groups, so that may be the reason. I would recommend it, thouh.

    The ceviche didn’t have much taste apart from sour. Duck was good. Pulpo starter was fantastic.it was too hot inside

    Tasty food in a wonderful atmosphere. Starters are a little small for their price, but main dishes size is Ok. Ceviche was delicious. That's a pitty that we were not warned that the kitchen was to close, so when we wanted to order desserts most of them were not available. I'd recommend it, we had a great time.

    Fantastic food. Nice atmosphere and a very pleasant decoration. However, the service was very, very slow: specially the in-between time between dishes.
