Penny AveiroDecember 20, 2019We ate at La parada, ordered pasta, it was just meh! That's all I can say! Overrated! However the atmosphere was amazing! Definitely go to el nacional if u ever go to barcelona
Pout RelleJanuary 21, 2016A must go if you like food, drinks, ambiance, architecture, design,.. ow yeah did i mention great food
Escott HayashidiazJanuary 16, 2016Used to be a parking lot. Incredible renovation, great space, a bit pricey, but good place to bring guests in town.
Niels van HoornSeptember 12, 2017this place is magical, a foodhall but with beautifully designed restaurants and cocktails bars
Erez GordonFebruary 12, 2016Wonderful place. The decoration is great and so does the service. Excellent sirloin steak.
Ahmed MongealMarch 4, 2018Great ambiance! Paella seafood was delicious, lovely staff and excellent service- Jonathan GriffithsApril 22, 2017My favourite evening venue for drinks. Very stylish place and great atmosphere.
Toni AngererApril 15, 2016Fantastic place, lots of food to choose. seriously recommend the dry aged meats- Maksym ZhukovNovember 18, 2016Good ambience. Lively and vibrant place. Food choice is great. Quality is good.
Miguel Roberto MangligotMay 28, 2017Good food and ambiance. But a bit pricey and not much servings. However, the bars inside are a very good place to hang out if you want something posh.
Giselle CesinJanuary 2, 2015Try "La Taperia" is a Tapa's festival! Theres always line but goes fast. Its a MUST
Abdullah Al-AwadhiJuly 13, 2016It's a nice experience, in the open tapa restaurant where the waiter shouts the tapa name and you quickly ask for it before anyone else. Unfortunately the tapas were average.
Great vibe and beautiful interior with a variety of food proposals. Checked out brasserie, tapas and cocktails. All was good but the best is the manager that solves everything
Jennifer TorassaAugust 18, 2016Beautiful place with a vintage atmosphere: not really expensive, but staff and dishes are average. We've been in Mediterranean area for dinner: good wine but cocas not really tasty.
Frost LiApril 23, 2019Extremely crowded and busy. I was lucky to get a seat but the service is super slow that it took them 30 mins to pour me a glass of wine. If you are hungry, don’t come here lol
Beautiful space, amazing food spots. The cocktails are brilliant!
César Silva Barcelos Jr.August 5, 2016Beautiful place, nice food, excellent attendance. It is worth it!!!!!!
Ievyy MAugust 24, 2016Cava was good and actually that's all that was good here (in fish restaurant). Food is ordinary, prices are high, waiters are rude and not professional.
IlyaJune 18, 2020They overcooked my steak nearly two steps from what I ordered. Apart from that the food was delicious.
snoptik snoptikOctober 30, 2016Nice ambience with good food but staff lacks good manners. It may be because of high volume of customers and turnover but most make you uncomfortable when you ask for something.
Malin MNovember 8, 2015Beautiful decoration! Perfect for a catch-up beer, or why not a Friday night dinner.
CharlottesOctober 14, 2017Amazing space with extremely disappointing food. Oysters were the exception but avoid the tapas bar at all costs.
