Excellent place for tapas. We came here around 10:00 PM and had to wait 20 minutes to find a table. So I can only guess it will take much longer if you come at regular dinner times. The kitchen stops serving food after 11, and they stop serving rice or pasta options after 9:30, which is a little disappointing. We tried multiple tapa options and all were amazing, 10/10 for the quality. We tried fried garlic shrimp, red shrimp, tomato bread, and mixed fried fish. The fried garlic shrimp is by far the highlight of this place. We ended up ordering it 3 more times as it is irresistible!! We also got sangria for a drink and cream caramel for dessert, and both were good

Visiting Barcelona for the first time. My friend recommended this place. It’s walking distance from our hotel. We stayed at Renaissance Barcelona I think it’s about 10 min walk. We went for dinner. There was a line we put in our name at the host desk and waited about 15 min to get seated. We ordered a bunch of tapas to try. The food came out so fast everything was delicious. Some were so good we reordered a 2nd round. We ordered another order of the lobster rice, grilled razor clams and the codfish with honey aioli. The menu is quite bit I don’t mind going back to eat again so I can try out other food we didn’t eat to try. I definitely want to try the suckling pig 🤭

This is a tapas restaurant. It doesn't seem to take reservations, so we walked in.
The restaurant was spacious and crowded with many customers. The staff were friendly and worked efficiently, which we liked.
We ordered the dishes in the photos, and were impressed by how delicious they were. And they were all reasonably priced!
The beef and foie gras dishes were especially delicious.
If we had been hungrier, we would have liked to have tried more dishes.
It was a really nice restaurant. We definitely recommend going there if you're staying in Barcelona.

the restaurant is very big, but also very busy, the atmosphere is good. I came here 2 times just for the Foie gras. Despite they are so packed, the service is good and fast. The Foie is exceptional, I tried langostinos, bacalao, pulpo, which are OK, but nothing special. As I am single, I don't have to wait  but for bigger groups???

The food here was delicious! One of the best tapas we had in Barcelona. Came here for lunch, they said we had to wait 15 minutes to be seated (we were 2 people), but after 5 minutes they already said there was room for us! Sat at the bar, cool place, nice staff, you could really feel the atmosphere. Definitely recommend coming here!
