    Went in not knowing anything about Catalan food. The host was helpful, explained everything and even showed us photos. The main dish is basically Catalan pizza, but honestly it blows Pizza out the water - Italians should be worried! The menu and dishes are clearly well thought out, the ingredients delicious and fresh. Reasonably priced too for what you get. Excellent ambiance. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

    Amazing restaurant! It is built next to the ancient walls from Roman times in the city. Which gives a great ambience to the delicious food. The Coca de Recapte they serve is amazing. Definitely recommend.

    To bad there are not more stars available! Wow, from the ambiance to the friendly owners to the fabulous food this restaurant does not disappoint. Their specialty is flat bread style main dishes. All I have to say, is find this place, try everything, you will be happy you did!

    (Translated by Google) Very charming place. In addition to being in a spectacular setting, the decoration is in keeping with the situation. The food also lives up to expectations. The service is very good too. If I do not put the 5 stars it is because I believe that being in an emblematic place, in a city like Barcelona that is the heritage of Catalonia, Spain and humanity (although it sounds naughty) that limit themselves to having the letter only in Catalan is to limit the clientele, It is only my opinion, that is clear. (Original) Sitio con mucho encanto. Además de estar en un entorno espectacular, la decoración es acorde con la situación. La comida igualmente está a la altura de lo esperado. El servicio es muy bueno también. Si no pongo las 5 estrellas es porque creo que estando en lugar emblemático, en una ciudad como Barcelona que es patrimonio de Cataluña, España y la humanidad( aunque suene ñoño) que se limiten a tener la carta solo en Catalan es limitar la clientela, es solo mi opinión, que quede claro.

    While looking for a nice place to have some dinner the scent of tasty foods drew us there. We soon realised that it was a cozy little place in El Gótico owned by people who loved food and their business! Overall great experience, amazing food and the people there made us feel welcome ! I can say to anyone reading this review that the place is highly recommended!!

  • 3/5 Daniela N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The thing I do not understand is how it is possible that the Italians have left positive comments making believe that they have eaten who knows what .. A bruschetta, is what is said in a small way, a "coca" is nothing but a similar schiacciatina with peppers, aubergines and onion, 2 glasses of wine at the modest sum of 50 euros. Exaggerated prices! (Original) La cosa che non capisco è come è possibile che degli italiani abbiano lasciato dei commenti positivi facendo credere di aver mangiato chissà cosa..Una bruschetta,è quello che è detto in maniera spicciola, una "coca" altro non è che una simil schiacciatina con peperoni,melanzane e cipolla, 2 calici di vino alla modica cifra di 50 euro. Prezzi esagerati!

    An amazing place to try traditional Catalonian cuisine. The interior has been designed so elegantly. The food was amazing. We got there without a reservation, and even though they were filled, they allowed us on the condition that we leave at a specific hour. The staff was quite kind. This is one of my favorite spots from my trip in Barcelona.

    Excellent hidden gem in the Gotic neighborhood. We (party of 5) found this restaurant 10 years ago (2012) and loved it: the menu is varied, elaborate enough and well executed across all the dishes we ordered. This time (2022), we were a party of 4 and it was just as good this time as it was 10 years ago. The staff and owners are very attentive and pleasant. The atmosphere is one of an old cave that was tastefully renovated. The food and wine were excellent. When in Barcelona, we will certainly return.

    This place was very cute! The food was yummy and the prices were good. The service was however quite slow. But we ordered the green salad, beef carpaccio, salmon&guac salad, bacon pizza, gorganzal&ham pizza, sausage pizza and roasted tomato type pizza. (Not pizza it was flatbread) the portions were very big! Overall great restaurant!

    Reservation is required for this place. I ordered escalivada and cola zero. I paid total 16 euros. Escalivada is traditional Catalan food. I enjoyed it, it is a different taste, similar to pizza but not pizza.

    Absolutely lovely experience! The interior is extremely cozy and food was tasty. The olives and sardines amazingly fresh and flavorful. The place seemed highly popular, yet I wish the service was a bit more attentive :) (The tapas portions are BIG!)

    Run by the owners themselves, L'Antic Bocoi has a very welcoming ambiance with amazing contemporary artwork hanging on the walls. Highly recommend to all culinary enthusiasts ;)

  • 5/5 Alex C. 4 years ago on Google
    Doppé. Multo excellente. Cozy setting filled with the smells of the kitchen, smiling staff with food and wine suggestions and good food and wine. Most of the menu main courses are flat bread items ideal to share. Try as many as you can, all good.

  • 5/5 Chris H. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply divine. Rosa was a treat while serving us. Atmosphere unmatched. I recommend trying as many traditional flatbreads as you can fit. As well as the traditional appetizers. Minds were blown and laughs were had. Thank you so much

  • 5/5 Alex M. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are in the gotic or born area this place is a can’t miss restaurant . The best pan y tomato with ham we have had. The coques de recapte with cheese, chorizo and honey was a unique and delicious recommendation. The owners are super friendly and offer great recommendations for wine and local food choices.

  • 5/5 Percy W. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was so good, we enjoyed our meal thoroughly. Price was not so bad too. Definitely a place to be recommended.

  • 5/5 Arcadi N. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to be a regular. Had not been here for a long, long while. Gosh! What a mistake I made! They have only improved. Quality is amazing. Marc and Rosa do clearly love their "cocas" and other dishes. "Cocas" are flatbreads that combine ingredients that are fresh, savory, authentic. Well: they do combine these in El Bocoi!l Cannot vouch for other places. Also, the wine list covers a wide range of flavors and prices. Plus, you get to sit next to Barcelona's Roman Wall!!! L'Antic Bocoi. What else?

  • 5/5 Tyler C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent ambience , friendly server/host/owner, meal was excellent. Literally am coming back ! I got the Parmegiano Regianno (not pictured bc it’s literally cheese ) Coques decapte with little tomatoes, mozzarella, arugula, parmegiano and ham Cheesecake!! Sangria Coffee con leche Love this place and am seated now for round 2!

  • 5/5 Sandi L. 1 year ago on Google
    Every bite was perfectly presented and delicious. We loved the cheese with tomato bread, beef carpaccio, salads, duck pizza and chocolate cake.

  • 5/5 ATL B. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent. The food was superb, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. Small rustic plates that was perfection. I would highly recommend this place without hesitation. I would recommend a reservation, but I did walk up at the beginning of the evening and then graciously accomodated me.

  • 5/5 Nicholas L. 6 months ago on Google
    Dinner table for 2 was reserved in the afternoon on the same day. You should make reservations as they are popular. Service was prompt and friendly. The lady manager took the time to explain their menu and catalan cuisine. Everything we tried was great. The foigrais was exceptional. Refer to my photos. 2 starters and 2 mains and a bottle of fine local wine added to just over 80eur. Come hungry!

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 6 months ago on Google
    Great Wine list, and our hosts were helpful and friendly. Food was a unique experience - highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Sofia S. 6 months ago on Google
    I came for the coca de recapte and they have so many different versions! Impressive.. but I expected a little bit more. The base (bread) is prebaked and a little dry fo my taste. The ingredients are of a great quality! But then they cover it with such an amount of oil, that it covered the plate and table. A little too much. I had a crema catalana as a dessert. Tasty cream with a nice lemony flavor, but the layer of toasted sugar was incredible thick. Overall a good atmosphere, nice service and good wines.

  • 5/5 Eduardo Ribeiro V. 3 months ago on Google New
    This spot is wonderful. I spontaneously walked in for dinner. The ambiance and service are excellent, but what truly stands out is the food. They make delicious dishes with very basic mediterranean ingredients. The menu appears simple, yet each dish is visually appealing, and the taste is divine. My tuna salad remains the best I've ever had, and the Catalan cream at the end is simply amazing. Congratulations!

  • 5/5 Leanne T. 2 months ago on Google New
    Ambiance was perfect - rustic restaurant set in the heart of the gothic quarter in Barcelona. Great service and recommendations from the staff. Food choice was limited but everything was 100% on point - thoroughly enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Babell 3 months ago on Google New
    What an experience! Never had such an authentic catalanic food. Service, food and location was a 11 out of 10. Next time Barcelona I will come back. Thank you!!! :-)

  • 5/5 samantha m. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Explosions of Catalan flavors and a very nice discovery! This little restaurant is tucked away in a small alley in the Gothic Quarter. The staff are simply exquisite and speak French. The dishes are very well explained and if you want to discover Catalan specialties then go there! And little more, it's very good. (Original) Explosions de saveurs Catalanes et très belle découverte ! Ce petit restau est niché dans une petite ruelle du quartier gothique. Le personnel est tout simplement exquis et parle français.

    (Translated by Google) Phenomenal! The charming owners, the crispy and delicious collection cakes and the surprisingly adjusted price, not to mention the decoration where the impressive Roman wall that makes them a wall stands out.

  • 5/5 W B. 4 years ago on Google
    Indoor place w some outdoor seating near by. Good food. That night we'd been frustrated in finding open table. Area restaurants are all small, crowded, a bit loud...waiting for a table seemed to need greater patience than we had. So finding this was such a relief. In Gotica area...maze like, charming. Think historic centers of Florence, Assisi, Seville, Granada, Split. Great people watching...international crowd, skewing younger, all manner of configurations of couples, families, groups.

  • 4/5 Amy L. 5 years ago on Google
    The staff were really helpful explaining all of the items on the menu. The place can be difficult to find but the locals (and Google maps) helped us find it.

  • 5/5 Rob N. 4 years ago on Google
    So amazing in the gothic quarter admidst Roman walls. Can't beat the interior decor of this place. The food was excellent with a variety of awesome tasting tomatoes, olive oils, cheeses the best of hard and soft. The tapas and the flatbreads were so so tasty. Great service great location great restaurant.

  • 5/5 Hanbi L. 7 years ago on Google
    This is a beautiful small and quiet place with nice little flat pizzas. This place is not for a big dinner but good for some light bites for wines. I wish they had more selection of wines for glass, but it was still nice.

  • 5/5 Carlos G. 4 years ago on Google
    Some of the best food I had in Barcelona. The place had a great atmosphere and all the employees were so helpful and friendly. For sure a must go to if your in Barcelona

  • 2/5 Rita S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Warm and comfortable environment nice place, unfortunately the chosen dish very salty in three we took the cod but we could not eat it too salty perhaps not given up previously, although the service staff noticed our dishes intact or almost nobody asked if something was not he went and here made the unprofessional service unsuitable for the type of place you want to believe that it is certainly Barcelona at that rate offers better (Original) Ambiente caldo e confortevole bel locale, purtroppo il piatto scelto salatissimo in tre abbiamo preso il baccala ma non abbiamo potuto mangiarlo troppo salato forse poco mollato in precedenza, nonostante gli addetti al servizio abbiano notato i nostri piatti integri o quasi nessuno a chiesto se qualcosa non andava e qui a reso il servizio poco professionale non adeguato al tipo di locale che si vuole far credere che sia sicuramente Barcellona a quella tariffa offre di meglio

  • 3/5 Laura S. 4 years ago on Google
