    We ordered menu mediodia. The main food came out while we were having an appetizer. We thought that food had been served at the other table, before the food came to us. Because that food was cold and the server tried to serve that food to the other table but he took back that food. I think it was not a good experience up to here. But the worst is 'A hair came out from the food'. We complained about the server about it. But he said just sorry. He didn't say other words. And then the manager came to us and said to us,'Sorry. You pay half of the price '. I don't know about spanish culture. But I think they have to say to us apology( not 'sorry', other thing like 'It's our fault' etc.) . And then they need to talk about compensation. But they said 'Sorry, you pay half of the price'. Honestly, the food was good. But the service was not good. It's the reason why I don't recommend this restaurant.

    Excellent mediterranean food. We really love Cent Focs since 2007. You will be amazed by the cool presentation of their dishes in humongous plates with fair price. We usually order beef carpaccio, rigatoni bolognese, paella and ribeye with rocafort sauce which is so tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant for celebrating special occasions like we did, as they have large spacious, nice ambience, chill music and best service as all the staffs are very welcoming, friendly and attentive specially Dora. This restaurant is one of our favorites in the city of Barcelona! Great job all!!!

    it was very good place. I went there for menu del dia. The price is a little high(15.45€) compared to avergae price, but the place is very luxury and service is a very high quality. Food was amazing with a lot of options to choose. It is recommended. If you want to see the names of the food you can find it in captions.

    The best price vs quality menu del día I've had in a long time. This place is so busy, with at least three sittings for lunch. UT the staff are fast, friendly and efficient. There's a reason this place is so popular and busy. Well worth dining here.

    Excellent food quality, a la carte & menu. Traditional Catalan dishes with an international flair. A sure bet for a great lunch/dinner experience. Strongly recommended.

    A disappointment. Food was mediocre at best. Way too expensive for what it was. We had a seafood paella and the portions were too small for their price. The cheescake was the worst thing though: It was very obiously store bought (which is a shame) and the piece was really small. The wine was also rather expensive. Can’t recommend this place.

    The place and the service? Top notch! Beautiful place and very upclass personel. Food…not so much. Burrata - awesome dish, very tasty and then went downhill. Burger - half raw (not medium, raw) with cold fries, zero sauce, some onions that I couldn’t work out if those were meant to be caramelised or fried…not sure. Creme brûlée with pineapple. Tough part of that thin pineapple left in, as if dipped to crema Catalan and then to torched so it is a theoretical crème brûlée… no hate but that is pretty poor. 23 euros spent for nothing…

    Came here during lunchtime for menu del dia. Ordered pesto spaghetti, steak and fries, and strawberry cake. Meal came with bread and beverage option. Really loved the pesto spaghetti and other dishes were good too. A little higher in price compared to other places but quality is there to make up for it.

    What would Gordon Ramsay say? A kitchen nightmare... I've been coming here for nearly nine years, and it always used to be a decent place for lunch. The quality of the food has plunged in the last year, and today being presented with a plate of completely raw pork was the last straw. The replacement chicken (not with suplement price) was drowned in a cheese sauce that hid the fact that it was also very poor quality meat. Until the kitchen staff change, I won't return nor recommend. Also over cooked pasta. Sorry to say, but cent focs is a shadow of it's former self.

    Amazing value. 15€ fixed menu that changes frequently. Includes entrée, main course, dessert and a beer for such a low price. Strongly recommend.

    Great food and nice atmosphere. We always take a menu del dia here when we come for lunch, it has very good price and you will not leave this place hungry :) P.S. For Valentines weekend they were giving sweet regalitos for everyone, which was very nice of them 🥰

    Inexpensive delicious meal at downtown Barcelona. Check business hours before going. It opens a bit late (8:30pm when we visited)

  • 2/5 Natalia P. 2 years ago on Google
    I must say we were quite disappointed. We were recommended this restaurant but our experience with the service was very bad. We ordered a bottle of lambrusco which was flat. When we told the waiter he looked at us as if we were lying (until he tried it). I ordered the entrecot medium and it was served raw. I asked for l it to be done a little more, and they brought it back all cut open and overdone.
