Service at Ca L’Isidre is far beyond five stars. The staff are personable, friendly, and professional all at the same time. It felt like we were dining in someone’s home and were treated with grace and respect — giving us plenty of space and time to dine leisurely, but also being attentive to our needs.

The food was excellent. We very much enjoyed the peas and risotto. They also had great selection of wines. The interior design has more of a traditional feel to it. But it’s quaint, warm, and inviting.

I highly recommend this place.

P.S. This was listed in a recent newsletter from Chef and Humanitarian Josè Andrès! That’s why we tried it. :-)

Wonderfully cosy restaurant in Barcelona serving traditional Catalan cuisine. The canneloni is amazing. Scampi, and tomato salad were outstanding. My husband enjoyed the baby goat. Dessert should not be missed Chocolate coulant is delish.

From the minute I contacted Pep to inquire about getting a table on Christmas Eve, I was treated warmly and professionally ...and it only got better once we set down to eat.  Served a special holiday tasting menu we we treated to an array of great Catalan flavors and the freshest ingredients - all perfectly prepared. What made the meal extra special was the care and attention we got from the staff.  On a night where the restaurant was filled with local families, and we were the clear outsiders, we were treated as if we had eaten there for the last 10 Christmas eve dinners.  In an era where the poshest and nicest restaurants feel cookie cutter, it is so refreshing to experience a classic restaurant.  100 out of 10.

Upon entering the warmly lit entrance, I was greeted with lovely decor that set the tone for what was to come. The server was not only warm and welcoming, but knew the best dishes to recommend to someone who has never tried authentic Catalan cuisine. From its price, I was half expecting a mediocre tourist trap “restaurant”, so imagine my shock when the server placed such beautifully plated dishes in front of me. You would find that servers, even in typical fine dining establishments — regardless of its Michelin star status — rarely has servers who can truly convince you of his knowledge for the art of his craft; The server, Pepe’s, passion for the craft of Catalan cuisine, undivided attention and care had truly elevated the meal. This was my first meal after touching down in Barcelona, and i’m pleasantly impressed with the restaurant that was chosen and booked for me. Definitely a pleasant surprise for joint at this price point to serve food akin to fine dining and executing it so perfectly. They also have a lovely wine cellar. Hats off to the wonderful server I had today and how lovely the environment was.
