But seeing the tapa menu with many special suggestions and afterwards seeing the meals themselves, which are a modern style of the traditional Spanish food, made us very happy that we chose to walk into this place. And we were certainly not alone. The place was full when we left to join a concert, nearby. Prices were reasonable, food was enough and service was fine.

We had tapas and they were all very tasty, and reasonably priced. It seemed like there was a lot of local people there, but the place had going a sort of a trendy and sophisticated look. I ended up eating there twice during my stay in Barcelona.

We chose 8 tapas, 2 kawas to drink and none happier.

If you are in the area I recommend this place for breakfast or mix of tapas with tasty sangria. People are very friendly. read more If you are in the area I recommend this place for breakfast or mix of tapas with tasty sangria. People are very friendly.

A place where locals eat, prices are great, the waitress was extremely helpful and pleasant. Absolutely faultless. The champiñones rellenos de tomate y mozzarella and the bomba de carne y pimientos were exceptional. I'd recommend to anybody staying in the Monumental area of Eixample
