“ All the food was amazing. It's a small dining area but it makes the experience even more unique. Our waitress was hilarious and made great recommendations. ”
“ They're open Tuesdays to Saturdays at 12pm for lunch, so we were aiming for that. It was our first day in Barcelona and after landing at 8am, we desperately needed food. I, however, got very distracted by the neighborhood, so we ended up getting on the line around 11:55am, which meant there was a decent line up when they opened. We managed to get into the first round though, so that was great. To drink, I had a glass of their house sparkling wine, which was actually really good and very cheap. To eat, we had grilled razor clams, stewed octopus, ibérico ham, a hard cheese, and tuna with grilled leeks. Everything was really good but I think the favorites were the grilled razor clams and the octopus. By the time we left, there was a line down the block. We walked by on a Saturday afternoon later in the week and the line was completely insane. Definitely come well before 12pm if you want to make it in the first round of diners! ”
“ Love it... food, service and ambiance... just the very best overall experience!!! Must try! ”
“ we arrived half an hour before opening to line up and got in with the first rush. the people around us in the queue were all super friendly. the squid and octopus were both quite good and textures were on point. pork was good if a little tougher than i would have liked. would definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you are willing to wait in line ”
“ Food - Tapas and more! We enjoyed our visit here and food was memorable. Service was good and folks there are quick! Ambiance - place was hustle and bustle in a good way. Place was humming and fairly small so make sure to arrive early and check their schedule as this place tends to be busy. Also be prepared to line up. But for sure visit this place at least twice! ”
