Already early in the morning, a wonderful selection of delicacies. Lamb, chicken, fish, vegetables - it's hard to choose. And the portions were more than plentiful.

The best food I eat in Barcelona. You can try a mix of foods they have in casseroles. Most of the dishes have seafood. The neighborhood seems bizarre but don't worry it's safe and the restaurant is clean. We took 3 big mixed plates that we shared between 4 people and it cost us 26 euros.

this is by far the best place I've eaten in Barcelona! Owner is so friendly and food was so delicious and fresh. The coffee was the best too. Best of all, all that food was for 9.5€. You can not use English here so have your Spanish prepared.
