Daniel OnderkaMay 31, 2016Best to sit outside on the beautiful square. Absolutly great taste combinations. For me the best I had in Barcelona(truth to say I was only 3days there)Quite hidden from main crowded turistic places.
Jelena VicoFebruary 12, 2012One of the most beautiful year-round terraces in the town,even though in Born it is hidden away from the heavy tourist-track.Great for daily lunch-menu and "a la carte" for night,great stake and duck
M. Orçun ŞahinJune 22, 2022That’s my second visit to BCN and came to La candela 7 years ago. I liked the place and the atmosphere in this plaza. Despite that, Sangria was not one of the good ones in my current visit in Spain.
Like A Local GuideOctober 17, 2013A quirky restaurant in the midst of a generally very streamlined tourist route. The decor has a retro feel to it, and they're vast believers in slow food, sourcing most produce locally and organic. Read more
- Gitte AndersenJuly 15, 2016Sit outside on the Square and drink wine and eat olives what is not to like ❤️
Anna TJune 4, 2013A hidden gem. Sit out on the square and enjoy the sun. Great twists on food, amazing flavor combinations! Try, like, EVERYTHING!
Nice and cosy restaurant with terrace in one of the most beautiful squares in old city. The pad thai is incredible.
C NApril 3, 2017A great place to sit outside and enjoy the day. The focaccia lunch item was very good.
David TobarJune 27, 2010Very good. They are a bit long to serve but It's like a familial cooking. Try the terrace and enjoy the salads or solomillos. The 'postre della abuela' it's just heaven on earth
Ksenya VitsinskayaMarch 27, 2014Very good menu del dia! There is no tourists :) good place, always full of people
Kirsty FossengenJune 7, 2013Try the grilled croissant with cheese and Serrano ham along with a fresh orange juice.
Mia CasalAugust 14, 2014Cenar en su terraza con encanto es muy especial, cualquier plato de la carta te sorprende. Las pieles de patatas siempre es un buen plato para compartir y el solomillo es espectacular. Recomiendo 100%
Arturo MartínAugust 13, 2016Las piruletas de calamar, solomillos de ternera al vermut y pulpo a la brasa con humus 😘
Oliver SearsJune 21, 2013Wi-Fi disponible a La Candela. La comida es rica y los empleados son hospitalarios; ¡siente en la plaça para ver la gente y los alrededores bonitos también!
KonstantinaAugust 12, 2013Muy buena comida, estilo medio-gourmet francés. La ensalada se sirve por última. Al cerrar la cocina ya no se sirve postre... así que pidenlo con antelación! Prueben el Ceviche de Salmón!
Luca Gig SoffrittiJuly 31, 2013Fantastica plaza y fantástica comida. Los platos salen muy bonitos y muy buenos también. Staff muy amable y joven. Imprescindible comer fuera en la plaza (mejor reservar)
Una de mis terrazas favoritas en Barcelona ! Me encantan sus pieles de patatas. Recomiendo !!
TerrazeoApril 22, 2012Para muchos la mejor plaza del Borne, fielmente vigilada por una gran iglesia románica. Descanso al aire libre mientras se observa a la gente que pasa en un privilegiado puesto de control vecinal.

MIGUEL MARTIJanuary 20, 2018Hemos probado las pieles de patatas, ensalada tibia, pasta rellena y pollo agridulce. Todo muy bueno
Sitio estupendo! Buena localización, buen ambiente, las chica Mat y la rubia levan muy bien la terraza. El risoto y el wok de gambas son 2 platos riquísimos.
Ceviche, steak-tartare, pieles de patatas, etc. Impresionantes tapas y platillos !!

Patricio EvansAugust 30, 2017Linda terraza sobre Plaza Sant Pere, pero hemos ido varias veces y siempre que nos atendió la rubiecita, estuvo ella de muy mal humor. El resto del staff muy atentos.
carlos rdhAugust 23, 2013Las pelas de patata obligatorias. Los huevos increibles. Y las croquetas muy muy bien.
Ana RoderaJuly 14, 2013Ideal los domingos x la mañana.Tranquilo y con terraza.Hay bocatas y tb menús.Relajante!
La mejor plaza del Borne. Si te atendiende Micaela o Juan, jackpot!!!
Si hasta la dicha critican, que dirán de la comida? Son raciones comedidas y por ello aún más ricas.- El mejor menú del barrio, con diferencia. La cocina está abierta hasta las 4 a mediodía.

"A majestic structure parked in a beautiful district. Explore the gardens of the citadel before/after appreciating the arc in all it's glory. A beautiful district to go for a run through, too."
