Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"The food here was SO good! We came here twice during our one week stay in Barcelona! The food was just so good we had to come back! The portions were HUGE! So I definitely recommend ordering the 1/2 or 1/4 portions if there are just 2-3 people sharing. 2 of us split the bread with tomatoes, 1/4 portion octopus, 1/2 portion razor clam, 1/2 portion mussels, and 6 scallops. It was so much food! We were so full! We came around lunch time (2pm) on Sunday both times, and the place was packed! I recommend making a reservation! We got lucky, and they slid us in at the bar. Reservations are made by phone call or just stopping by and making a reservation in person. I 100% will be back when I come to Barcelona again!"
"Great food, great service, prices per the volume of food is amazing. Staff gave us great recommendations and we followed along. Great choice!"
"Skip the rest of the menu and just order seafood ! I've walked by here a thousand times and always just saw giant plates of it and now I know why! We tried the fried fish balls, asparagus with ham and tomato bread, all of which were kind of bland and lacked flavor. Thankfully we also ordered a seafood platter which saved the day as it was amazing! A huge portion for the price and it all tasted really fresh! Definitely come here for the seafood and don't worry about the rest !"
"Absolutely amazing tapas! The portions are very generous and everything we tried was incredibly delicious. Full of flavor, great quality, and a fantastic experience overall. We’ll definitely be back for sure!"
"Great food with very reasonable price! Even the half size of seafood plate is big enough for 2 people. The red prawn is juicy and delicious. Ordered the Tiramisu cake as the dessert which is the best cake I have ate. Super good value."
"Everyone here order a big plate of seafood to share. The portion s hugh, and seafood are plentyful. Very good in value. In terms of quality, you can tell the cigala and prawns are not fresh, but still very good in taste. For the price im paying, i do not have any complain about it. You may give it a try."
"Food was really nice, and even tho I have to say that the Sepia was pretty oily gotta admit it, but the meat was incredible entrecot very flavourful, the grandma's cake even tho it seems like a lot it is a very fluffy and airy cake and is pretty easy to eat between 2 adults and two kids, the bread even tho simple was really really good. I really recommend booking before the service was really fast at the beginning, so the entrees were in no kidding 5-10 min really fast, but then we had to wait almost an hour for our meat, but was definitely worth the wait, we also had to ask for the menu various times, as well as waiting to place the order. TIP: But also a tip if you park in the Parking clinic you and ask the restaurant for a stamp you will get 50% off at the parking which is great!"
"We ordered sepia a la plancha, half portion of navajas a la plancha, half portion of solomillo de ternera with pimientos de padrón, and a quarter portion of pulpo con cachelos. The portions were larger than we expected, and we ended up really full — but everything was delicious."
