n Unsavory Experience at La Pampa, Barcelona I approached La Pampa, an Argentine steakhouse in Barcelona, with high expectations fueled by its glowing reviews on El Tenedor. Sadly, my experience was a disheartening display of culinary ineptitude that no establishment purporting to specialize in grilled meats should exhibit. Upon arrival, the staff was cordial, and our reservation was promptly honored—commendable points in an increasingly indifferent service landscape. However, the evening rapidly unraveled once our orders were placed: two distinct preparations of grilled meats, both specified to arrive à point—a degree of doneness that should be well within the capabilities of any self-respecting Argentine parillada. The first serving was a travesty, with all but the chicken shamefully undercooked—a condition my dining companion could begrudgingly tolerate, but one that immediately derailed our intentions of sharing the selections. Seeking correction, we respectfully returned the offending plates, only to receive them in an appallingly identical state after an inexcusable delay. At this juncture, the meats exhibited a blasphemous interior temperature—a mere 20 degrees—rendering them essentially raw, or as the French would disdainfully classify it, "bleu." The staff, to their credit, acknowledged the egregious error but failed to rectify it on the third attempt, ultimately prompting us to abandon our hopes of a satisfactory repast and seek sustenance elsewhere. While the affable service staff did extend the gesture of eliminating the beer from our tally, this hollow concession could hardly assuage the disappointment of an evening marred by a kitchen patently unacquainted with the rudiments of grilling—a lapse as unforgivable as it is baffling for an establishment that audaciously presumes mastery over Argentine food's quintessential art. It pains me to render so scathing an assessment, for La Pampa is a relatively new addition to Barcelona's culinary landscape. La Pampa's continuance along this path of ineptitude renders its premature demise an inevitability—a fate too punishing for the well-intentioned staff, but an entirely foreseeable consequence of failing to ensure competence in the kitchen's fundamental charge.

The staff were absolutely lovely and made sure we were satisfied throughout. The steaks were great, and the portions were huge, it’s a particularly fantastic deal if you book with the Fork discount, but is worth trying even at full price. Would come back any time.

The food was excellent! Great place to go if you want to have something grilled. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even gave us some free side dish on the house.
