We visited Lolín Café Gastrobar and were very disappointed with the experience. We ordered the lomo de bacalao (cod fillet), but as soon as the dish arrived, the smell was overwhelmingly strong, it was an immediate red flag that the fish was not fresh. We brought this to the attention of the waiter, but despite our concern, the dish was still added to our bill. To make matters worse, the waitress responded with a rude and dismissive attitude. There was no effort to apologize or resolve the issue professionally. Given the poor food quality and unacceptable service, this is definitely a place to avoid.

We came here on our first night in badalona & the atmosphere and service was amazing & second to none. The food was great and the vegetarian options are so good! If you stay in badalona, please try this place!

Wonderful fresh food! Excellent service! The Mediterranean Salad was delicious! 10/10! We won’t hesitate to return to this hidden gem!

Such a lovely hidden gem! We were expecting a small cafe snack but was surprised with delicious restaurant food. Service was kind and efficient. Will definitely be back!

Delicious food.! We enjoyed all the dishes in equal level. Definitely a place to revisited!

Had a wonderful meal, made to feel incredibly welcome as a solo diner. Food was delicious, presented with great skill and care. I walked in feeling a little nervous - a non Spanish speaker eating out alone - and left feeling like I’d eaten at a friend’s house. Just lovely! Thank you.

I have lived in Badalona for 7 months and didn't know this treasure existed! I am grateful for the energizing and delicious food made fresh! We ate the edamame, Mediterranean salad, fajitas, and orange chocolate cake with coffee! Great prices, great diversity on the menu items, and wonderful atmosphere.

Beautiful cooking with some of the most inviting staff around. I went in between lunch hours and dinner hours yet the staff was very inviting and helpful. Totally willing to help me dissect the menu and give suggestions. The whole affair seemed to be run by just two people, one operating the kitchen and the other handling guests, orders, an espresso machine beers, and all of the money. It's actually pretty amazing to see how many people they were able to serve so efficiently and kindly with just four hands on deck. I sat near the kitchen and although it's not an open kitchen, I was able to peek inside. I got to see the chef earnestly and beautifully assembling the dishes, paying close attention to details and working around a very small space. Which is probably the best way to describe the restaurant. Quaint, down to earth with a good representation of local style plated consciously and beautifully. It's really someplace I'd like to hang out with friends and get to know the owners personally if I had the chance to. But as a food focus tourist that was just looking for food nearby their Airbnb this was probably the best choice I could have made, and I most likely will stop in again while I'm still in the area.
