    Moka is well located. Extremely overpriced and with a really poor food quality. The paella tasted like the vegs came from a frozen bag with only 3 pieces of chicken. The steak and the chips were average. What really concerned me and was the the staff was not aware of the allergens of the dishes and was king of reluctant to check with the chef. In one instance there was stated in the menu that the chicken croquettes were lactose free, however when she checked they said that they were not and they were never lactose free. This was shocking as we have sever allergy and did not make us feel good about this.

    Worst service ever, The waiter who who took our order pretended she didn't know English and has a really bad attitude toward us without any reason! We asked her for straws and she kept saying "no no" in English and some words in Spanish so we asked her from another waiter as she insists on not speaking to us in English, but she talks very good English with the people in the table next to us. And we assured her that we wanted the seafood paella, but she brought only the pizza and we waited for about an hour until we found out that she did not register the order and no one apologized or acted as she coldly says if you still want to register it now.

    Somewhat expensive for what it is. There is not enough staff for all the people in the restaurant and they just say and do the essential, not very kind. Pizza was good.

    Located in the heart of La Rambla. It's bloody expensive! I suppose it would be, being in the heart of the tourist area. Food wasn't too bad, but nothing to write home about. I had the vegetable Paela which was a good portion for 2 people, also had cod fritters which weren't so nice and the cod pieces were tiny. Also had the asparagus but it seemed like they boiled it, it was just soggy. The female waitress wasn't too helpful but I suppose she was busy as they should have had atleast 2 more waiters(waitresses) to help. I wouldnt visit this place again, but try it out and form your own opinion.

    Amazing service, food and hospitality for a great price. The ambience was relaxed, classy and well worth the visit. Would definitely come back for another amazing dinner experience! P.s: ask Eyan to recommend you the tapas!

    As a single female 40 something traveller, I always look for recommendations for a safe venue. Moka has delivered. Fresh tasty food, I had tapas - squid, potatoes and assortment of crocketts. Hot, delicious and full of flavour. Lovely atmosphere, welcoming smiling staff reasonable prices. Would recommend.

    Super small portions and the food tastes below mediocre for the price you’re paying. The pasta and pizza tastes like it was baked straight from the freezer. You’re better off getting a frozen pizza from the super market than this place. The worst lunch I’ve had in Barcelona, however the coffee is good.

    (Translated by Google) Nice restaurant but mediocre Caesar salad. The salad chicken is nothing more than leftover roast chicken with no cheese. Dish to avoid. (Original) Beau restaurant mais salade César médiocre. Le poulet de la salade n'est rien de plus que des reste de poulet rôti fromage inexistant. Plat à éviter.

    (Translated by Google) More or less, nothing from the other world. What I have eaten was a pizza and it was 10 steps back. Desserts there no more. Nice place to drink beer; I do not recommend eating. Expensive and there no more. (Original) Más o menos, nada del otro mundo. Lo que yo he comido fue una pizza y estaba 10 pasos para atrás. Los postres ahí no más. Bonito sitio para tomar cerveza; comer no lo recomiendo. Caro y ahí no más.

  • 1/5 Simeon M. 1 year ago on Google
    There were three pieces of jamon on the iberica pizza i ordered and they were rushing us to pay the bill while we were still eating. Furthermore, we were charged an extra %20 claiming it is because we were sitting on the terrace which we werent. After paying, all employees refused to serve us saying we cannot be served outside but continued serving everyone else outside but us. This is honestly the most disrespectful service I’ve ever experienced as a tourist. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ENJOY BARCELONA!

  • 5/5 E A. 6 years ago on Google
    Flavorful food. Good portions. The waiters can communicate in Spanish, French, and English. These photos are the brava tapa, a chicken paella, and a Mac n cheese dish. Friendly service.

  • 4/5 Alem M. 5 months ago on Google
    Had the see food paella, it was nice but to be fair it was my first in Barcelona so I don't have much to compare it to. But all in all, it was good. Also had the humus, the portion was small and not worth the money, and the churos were at the same time dry and oily, but ate it all, so it was not that bad.

  • 5/5 Marcin R. 4 years ago on Google
    Good atmosphere and professional service. After long day walk good place to get the power back. Tapas beautiful. See food paella very nice. My son was quite happy after lamb.

  • 5/5 Łukasz F. 9 months ago on Google
    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moka Restaurant and experiencing their culinary masterpiece: the Macaroni and Seafood dish. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance exuded an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere. The attentive and friendly staff made me feel right at home, setting the stage for a delightful dining experience. The Macaroni and Seafood dish at Moka Restaurant surpassed all expectations. Served piping hot, the aroma alone was enough to whet my appetite. As I took my first bite, I was immediately captivated by the burst of flavors that danced on my palate. The macaroni was cooked to perfection, retaining just the right amount of firmness. The combination of delicate, succulent seafood, including plump shrimp, tender mussels, and tender calamari, elevated the dish to new heights. Each bite was a heavenly marriage of flavors and textures. The sauce that enveloped the macaroni and seafood was a testament to the chef's expertise. Rich and flavorful, it showcased a harmonious blend of herbs, spices, and a hint of tanginess that perfectly complemented the seafood. It was evident that great care had been taken to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.

    Since we arrived to Barcelona we found MOKA and had breakfast there everyday. The food was good. We immediately had a great rapport with Ivan, our waiter, which made our experience extraordinary. We will miss going there!
