7.5/10The place is well worth a visit because of its history, however the atmosphere is not as welcoming as you would like. Despite having a reservation and being on time, you may have to queue inside to be seated by the lady managing the tables who takes your name without a smile. Your presence upsets the waiters who cannot move around in the narrow space between the bar and the kitchen. Once seated, be prepared to wait a long time before receiving your dishes, that will be served barely warm. Our roast chicken, steak and codfish were good but the French fries were soggy. The overall experience was just average.

7.5/10My wife and I have been here before and brought some visiting friends this time. I didn't catch it on the bill last time we were there but the bread they put on the table without asking is not free. It shows up on the bill at almost 2 euro's a bun. So not only is it not cool to put bread on the table without asking. as if it was free, but it is more then twice the cost as our local bakery. Very deceiving! We will not be going back.

4/10This used to be a great restaurant in great rooms, but the food now is awful. Dry chicken no taste, bouillabaisse no taste, paella dry and dark, good ansjovies and padron peppers, snails in a brown sauce not tasty. It took a long time to order and get our food. They did not even ask why we did not eat much of the dishes, so they knew what they were serving. One young servant was nice. We will not be back.

10/10Best experience dining in Barcelona! Very friendly staff that made us feel right at home. The food was delicious and the ambiance is a visual experience. The history of this place is fantastic too! I will definitely be back.

10/10My wife and I ate at Los Caracoles, she had cuddlefish with asparagus and an appetizer of gaspacho; and I had snails and and appetizer of anchovies. The anchovies were the best I had ever had. Our server was excellent and when he heard that my last visit to Barcelona and Los Caracoles was 49 years ago, he brought the owner to our table. The owner was most gracious. Our dining experience was a highlght of our trip to Barcelona.

10/10The food quality was good but not different to other good restaurants in Barcelona. The croquetas were just average but paella was nice.

9/10Everything was fine — except that after we finished our first course it took the staff 30 minutes to clear the dishes (while other people were seated and got T their first and second courses).

5/10I had high expectation but the taste of food was disappointing. Have tried better paella and the grilled prawn was raw inside. It was returned to the kitchen and still a bit raw after the second time of grilling…

8/10A typical Spanish and old restaurant. Don’t expect fancy plates just good freshly cooked down to earth food. A must visit and a must reservation any night.

9/10The pimientos del padron were excellent, and the goat was extraordinary. I must say that I found the snails somewhat disappointing--too bland for my taste. The Prioat wine was excellent. Service and ambience were first-class. I would return here to try other dishes.

10/10We discovered this amazing place by accident on our first visit to Barcelona. It was so good that we always come back here when we are in Barcelona (3 times so far). The staff are very friendly and the food is fantastic.

10/10My husband has been to this restaurant many years ago, he liked it very much and has wanted to return. Well we made it, and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed everything, the ambience, service, food and wine, and most importantly the experience. We ordered drinks and wine. The mixed salad, fried squid, and pedron pepper for starters, all were excellent. We then ordered roasted goat, rabbit and snail paella, fish and seafood paella, mixed paella without shells, all were great. The desserts were just as good,
