This is a lovely restaurant in Barrio Gotic. I accidentally made a reservation for later than I thought I had, and they helped us with such kindness by finding a table even though they were full. The service was very polite, the food was great and the wines were very good. The duck confit appetizer was delicious. The veal ravioli was also excellent.

Quaint restaurant with excellent ambience, food and service. Jimena really took care of us. The prix fix menu was excellent. I enjoyed the octopus, duck salad and the tartar! Recommend the pork.

Probably one of the best restaurants in the area. Steaks prepared precisely as ordered. Tuna tartare had a great texture. Salads prepared with very fresh ingredients.
Knowledgeable and professional servers. Make sure to reserve a table before you go there.

Had the pork Iberico with sweet potato which usually I’m not fond of but it was really good. Rack of lamb was also very good. The mushrooms starter from ‘getting warm’ section was amazing. Wine was good quality. Great service, lovely waitress who attended to us. Restaurant was full and had a nice atmosphere

The place is located in the historical center of Barcelona and used to be stable back in the time. So it definitely adds to a romantic atmosphere with its bare stone walls and arched vault sealing. However, the atmosphere isn't the reason why I have stopped there. It was highly recommended to me by my friend, and they did not fail my expectations. Everything was fresh and tasty. I really enjoyed their burrata, tuna tartare, and veal cheek ravioli. The server was very kind and friendly. I came in the middle of the day for lunch, but I assume if you want to have dinner there, then a reservation is recommended.
Would love to come back again.

What an exceptional experience! The service was fantastic - we missed our reservation by about 20 minutes, but they were able to accommodate us.
We started with the truffle egg, pan con tomate, and fresh tomatoes and olives. It was a very fresh start to the meal. The truffle egg was our favorite…the truffle flavor was subtle but noticeable, and it was even better with a bit of fresh bread.
We ordered the Argentinian skirt steak, the sirloin, and the tuna. Alongside, we got two sides of vegetables and mashed potatoes.
The steaks were perfectly cooked and lightly seasoned. We ordered truffle sauce on the side and it complemented the steak, vegetables, and potatoes. The tuna was beautifully prepared, and the sesame sear added texture and flavor. Everything was so simple but so well prepared and extremely satisfying. I wish we lived locally so we could visit more often!

This place is a must go while in Barcelona! The food is deltas so many vegan options! As a vegan I was skeptical looking at the menu at first glance, but our waiter, Leonardo, gave several recommendations that were vegan friendly! I highly highly highly recommend this place and ask for Leonardo! He was an amazing waiter. He gave fantastic recommendations, was friendly, and when we wanted more wine or added items to our order he quickly submitted the tickets to the kitchen! The food was delicious and the wine list was amazing and affordable! I had the artichoke ravioli with a coconut curry sauce and a veggie plate! My husband had steak! All so yummy!

While walking on the streets of Barcelona, we came across this fantastic restaurant. We decided to walk and we were greeted by a friendly member of the staff. They were quite full but we were lucky to get a table within about 10 minutes of waiting.

Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, we have misplaced his name but he was a young gentleman from Egypt full of energy and passion for his work. He took the time to explain the menu and constantly checked on us. He was always smiling and very eager to assist with any questions you had.

The food was delicious and made the whole experience worthwhile. The restaurant has a very cosy atmosphere, along with great dishes and a selection of wines and fantastic service.

The steak was cooked to the perfect temperature with lots of flavor. The fish dish and the starters were definitely mouthwatering.

Recommend this restaurant to anyone either living or visiting Barcelona. Thanks for the fabulous experience we had.
