"Great lunch a block off the rambla.
The marinated sardines were amazing, so was the lamb grilled perfectly, and the cap-I-pota"

"a place to absolutely avoid. the only good thing about this place is the waiter. everything’s mediocre. we ordered two dishes, one being a steak.
at first we wanted the 65€/kg one. the waiter told us that this wasn’t available at this time of the day (???) and asked us to choose between the one at 50€/kg or the one at 95€/kg. when we chose the 50€ one, the cooker immediately went out of the kitchen telling us we could order the one at 65€/kg actually (???)
the cooker went back and forth from the kitchen to our table walking with the meat in his bare hands, as if he was about to juggle it, just to ask us how many kg we wanted, when we told him 1kg already…, this at least 3 times… probably trying to get us to buy more.
a very long wait for the dishes too.
when we finally get the receipt, we discover to our surprise that the filtered tap water we ordered was 10€ !!(!!!!!!!!??????????) and an error on the price of the meat…(how surprising right????)
anyways, a place to avoid simply."
