"We wandered in here because El Xampanyet had a very long wait, and it was well worth abandoning the line to come here. The food and ambience were incredible. The staff is so friendly and inviting and the food did not disappoint. We actually ate here twice because we enjoyed it so much. We had the garlic shrimp, tomato bread, fried calamari - some notables were the pork shoulder and broken eggs with chorizo. We took the recommendation to get the bomba and glad we did. Daniele was a great bartender and it was fun to watch the kitchen sling out dishes and her man the bread station. Definitely stop by!"

"We spotted in here for lunch after a busy morning of sight seeing. The restaurant is small but has a cool vibe. We sat at the bar which was comfortable. The staff members was a bit rude but the service is still fast. The food is 10/10! Some of the best tapas we had on our trip"

"We ate here our first night in the city and it was an incredible experience. The restaurant is small but the atmosphere is really cool with every surface of wall and ceiling covered in messaged in marker from previous customers. The food was really tasty, especially the paella, which ended up being the best we had in Barcelona!"

"The place is small but the food is great! Loved their Bomba Taperia - very flavorful and it’s served hot (and thus fresh!) Their Fried Anchovies and Grilled Sardines were pretty delicious, too, though I would recommend to just order one of them, otherwise you might feel a little bit greasy/oily in the end… Staffs were super friendly and welcoming. A great dining experience for sure!"
