It was near our hotel tourist area! Lots of good restaurants on that strip. I will definitely go again if i am in Barcelona!

We often visit to Paris but Barcelona surprised me in the price. Anyway if you go to this restaurant you should order paella. I got seafood and meet one. It was super good. You should try! Also we order a potato fries... it was not so good. It just potato. Beef steak was good too. Atmosphere is great too! You can use in lunch and dinner too!

This place was also recommended in one of my Maribel tour books . We found the Touristy factor to be low and during our evening walk through parts of this L 'Eixample, there were lots of similarly classy choices. In hindsight, it was too early (8 PM) for Dinner and we were just too worn out after 2 weeks in Spain to Dine. We did like the large and comfortable space, that featured an open kitchen, decent service, and of course good wine. Gayle had Lamb and I had Catalan Sausage, of which both of us thought were just OK . Maybe next time.

Normally, I'd be yelping after every meal, but the restaurants here have been so mediocre that until this evening, I've had no urge to write a review. This restaurant changed this. Coming from New York, we have been disappointed by the overall lack of variety in food here. But Tenorio was a perfect meal, in every way. We stumbled on it because we got out of bed late, and it was around midnight...things were all closed. This place was open, and we were starving. We were greeted by their staff. It took a while for someone to come to our table, but he really took care of us. No pressure sell, no hassle. No gotchas. We had 3 entrees and two were amazing (entrecote steak, macarroni bolognese), and one was just very good. (chicken terriaki). The cappuccino was among the best we've had, and the tiramisu was light and just right. And also very much worth mentioning this was by far the best deal we've had so far in Barcelona. The food here is expensive, but this place under charges and over delivers. Going back tomorrow.
