One of the best restaurants in Barcelona and I’m shocked I still haven’t heard of it..The seafood is so tasty and fresh. The beef cheek was just sumptuous. Just bravo to the chef and the staff that is very attentive. Recommendations: mussels with marinara, scallops and the beef cheek.

While enjoying our drinks, the smells coming from the kitchen lured us into cancelling our reservation at the other restaurant and staying here for dinner. It was a great choice. The food was excellent. We started with a simple ensalada which was perfect. Fresh lettuce and tomatoes, lightly dressed with just olive oil and vinegar. Next we had clams in a Galician sauce. The clams were the best I've ever had. Honestly. And the leftover sauce didn't go to waste as we sopped it up with our bread. We finished with the wild sea bass. It was perfectly cooked. Moist and flavourful. It came with a side of potatoes that could've came from my Italian mother's kitchen. The service was the best we encountered in our two weeks in Spain. There must've been 5 servers constantly checking in on us. The restaurant itself is quite large and nicely decorated. We were very happy to stumble upon this place. Would definitely go back.
