We ended up coming here three times during our stay in Barcelona—and that says everything. Each time we didn’t make a reservation, so we had to wait in line for quite a while, but it was absolutely worth it. The nice touch is that while you’re waiting, you can grab a glass of wine or a beer, which definitely makes the time pass more pleasantly. Sitting at the counter is an experience in itself—you get a front-row view of the chefs in action, and the whole vibe feels more relaxed and authentic. The team clearly knows what they’re doing. Even from behind the counter, the service is efficient, confident, and high quality. Food-wise—don’t miss the scallops with foie gras and definitely try the squid with chickpeas. Both were outstanding. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time eating dinner here! We got the fried artichoke, clams, tuna tartar, langoustines, Manchego, and sausage. There is no menu, you tell the waiter what you like and they make it for you. We came with no reservation and waited about 20 minutes for bar seating which was definitely worth it. It’s a bit loud and crowded but the service is amazing. Peter was very entertaining and even offered us a complimentary dessert at the end! The sangria was also delicious. Highly recommend.
Wonderful meal and overall experience here. We were able to secure a table right upon opening. Our server, Jordan, was so cheerful and helpful throughout dinner! I especially loved the langostines, sirloin, and cheesecake. Clams and octopus were an incredible hit! High recommendation on this place! Also there are many nice bars and shops very close by for before or after your dinner.
Popular Catalan restaurant packed with locals and visitors alike, serving hearty traditional dishes, great wine, and buzzing energy. Loud, lively, crowded — but absolutely worth it for the atmosphere alone. It only takes reservations for groups larger than 4 persons.
I’m not sure if there’s a Spanish word for “omakase”, but Cal Pep comes close. They don’t have a menu (Spanish or English) so you just have to trust their recommendations. Also, i arrived at 715pm, thinking i was early. I wasn’t. I literally got the last seat at the bar counter. The fried calamari, omelette, and sangria are must-orders
