Radu DumitrescuAugust 27, 2016Great food. The delicious bread and alioli (best I've had in Spain) is 2.5€ / person! So don't be surprised. But they are delicious. Great place.

AnthonySeptember 7, 2014We liked the food and the service was good however the prices were a lot more than they should have been. Worth a visit but puts a hole in your pocket.

KonstantinaMarch 7, 2016Went away after waiting in vain for the waitress to give us a table for over 15 minutes even though she was not attending anyone else. No clue how good the food is. The decoration is really kitsch.UpvoteDownvote
- Really not impressed with the treatment we received last time we went. Made to wait at the door for a long time while others were ushered to the table. An aperitif cava is now replaced with sangria.UpvoteDownvote
Martín CApril 16, 2012Love this place! Traditional and good tasting food! Friendly staffUpvote1Downvote
Karina ZJuly 28, 2016Seafood paella is good. But they cheat you when bring starters(bread with tomatoes) and water when we didn't order any of that and charge you for them. It's unacceptable. Don't recommend.UpvoteDownvote
- J BJune 6, 2016Tourists dont go there these people will rip you off and will switch what you order for something expensive and wont know until they give you the check.they'll bring "treats" and charge you @ the endUpvoteDownvote
- Cahit BenelMarch 14, 2014great service, friendly employees, nice food BUT a little discriminative. local people can get a table in main part of the restaurant. all foreigners (even with reservation) get a table at entrance!Upvote2Downvote1
Susana BJuly 29, 2016Nice food but some dishes are overpriced! Our waiter wasn't very knowledgable about wines.UpvoteDownvote
Samuel HermosoJune 2, 2014De lo mejorcito de Barcelona. Calidad. El trato de Jaime, el dueño, espectacular. Recomendaciones: La carne a la piedra, las paellas y de postre, aunque yo no la probé porque ya no quedaba, la coca.Upvote4Downvote- Zeynep DehmenJanuary 28, 2018Bıldırcınlı,mantarlı ravioli yedim.Bulgur pilavından farksız olduğunu söylemek mümkün.Garsonlar ilgili,servis hızlı ve mekan güzel.Yemeğinizin üstüne Krem karamel yemeyi unutmayın.Upvote1Downvote
Sergio EstevezOctober 6, 2012Muy buena calidad de ingredientes a un precio razonable 40€. El chuletón a la piedra excelente como el servicio del personal. A mejorar mucho la calidad de los cuchillos y la muy mala carta de vinosUpvote3Downvote
Juan Jose Montoya FernándezJuly 26, 2016Todo, la atención, los platos, la calidad de la comida, una relación calidad precio correcto, la temperatura... En verdad tiene una puntuación más que merecida. De 10!

Anna PJuly 7, 2013С улицы выглядит как забегаловка, но внутри - шикарное место: три зала, круглые столы, безупречная сервировка, любезный персонал. Паэлья 15€, гаспачо 6€, вино от 12€ за бут. Все вкуснейшее! Пробуйте!Upvote2Downvote
Elena ChegodaevaApril 13, 2018Тарелка морепродуктов - лучшая в городе по моему мнению. Потому что съедобно все, вы платите 36 евро, но там не будет килограмма мидий и две несчастные киеветочки. Все по-честному! Вкусно.UpvoteDownvote
