    This place is a must eat and drink spot! Amazing wine (if you like natural wine) and the chefs are well trained professionals. Every dish tastes amazing - well-balanced flavor and texture. I recommend making reservations in advance or it’s difficult to get a seat.

    We shared two Catalonian wines and a number of dishes. Chorizo, octopus, aged tuna loin, duck, cheese, lamb, and pumpkin comprised our feast. The tuna and cheese spread were my favourites from the starters. The octopus was cooked perfectly. Stellar service with helpful wine recommendations. The wine list is hefty. Definitely recommend visiting - be it for a full meal or drinks and snacks.

    (Translated by Google) We went to dinner with another couple and were comfortable, but the feeling on leaving was that the price / dinner ratio was unbalanced, in reference to the price. I explain; The menu has few options, but this, as you can see, can be a pro and not a counter, since having few options, chefs focus on a few dishes and these are usually excellent. In this case, the dishes were good, but nothing from the other world. In addition, the dishes advise you to share but they are very small amounts, so you have to ask, so to speak, almost the whole menu (we were 4, hungry) and if instead you are going to order one each, you stay with hungry. I don't know, maybe we weren't lucky. But the amount paid was not equal to the satisfaction obtained. If I return, it would only be because of the extensive wine list that they have and a dish that was delicious, that of the sandwich, tremendous. (Original) Fuimos a cenar con otra pareja y estuvimos a gusto, pero la sensación al salir fue que la relación precio / cena estaba descompensada, en referencia al precio. Me explico; la carta tiene pocas opciones, pero esto, según se mire puede ser un pro y no un contra, puesto que al tener pocas opciones, los cocineros se centran en pocos platos y estos normalmente resultan excelentes. En este caso, los platos estaban bien, pero nada del otro mundo. Además, los platos te los aconsejan compartir pero resultan cantidades muy pequeñas, por lo que has de pedir, por así decirlo, casi toda la carta (eramos 4, con hambre) y si en cambio vas a pedir uno cada uno, te quedas con hambre. No se, quizás no tuvimos suerte. Pero la cantidad pagada no era pareja a la satisfacción obtenida. Si vuelvo, únicamente sería por la extensa carta de vinos que disponen y de un plato que este sí que estaba riquísimo, el del bocadillo, tremendo.

    Can Cisa/Bar Brutal in Barcelona was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredible fusion of flavors, impeccable service, and a delightful ambiance. The food was outstanding, with tastes that left me thoroughly impressed. The staff was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. Now, I must admit, there might be a bit of a wait, depending on when you go, but let me assure you, the anticipation only adds to the experience. It's a place where time seems to stand still as you savor every moment and every bite. So, if you're in Barcelona, make sure you don't miss the extraordinary Can Cisa/Bar Brutal – it's worth every moment of the wait.

    Came with high expectations and left amazed by the quality of service, food, wine and even the music played - shout out to the playlist! We decided for a gewurztraminer from Alsace called Demoiselle and bam: spot on. It harmonized well with the plates we ordered, especially with the labneh (delicious) and the sea bass with mushrooms. Will definitely return back next time I am in Barcelona.

    A good tapas place but I must say it's overhyped. Overall the tapas were good but you can probably get the same quality in many places in Barcelona. Wasn't far than the other tapas places I visited in the past but wasn't bad either. However the price was a bit high for what you get. Will I go through the hassle of going there again, probably not. Was the food good, yes but amazing

    (Translated by Google) Years ago it was a place of exquisite food now I can not say the same. Very high prices for what is offered. Strange letter without a speech. The wines are exceptional, yes. You can find very interesting things. The place is very cool but maybe too loud. I thought that in other restaurants that people consider very expensive I spent only € 10 or 15 more and it was worth it. Here I spent € 40 for a plate and two glasses of wine. I sincerely saw it focused on the tourist. (Original) Años atrás era un sitio de comida exquisita ahora no puedo decir lo mismo. Precios muy altos para lo que se ofrece. Carta extraña sin un discurso. Los vinos son excepcionales eso si. Puedes encontrar cosas muy interesante. El local es muy cool pero quizás demasiado ruidoso. Pensé que en otros restaurantes que la gente considera muy caros me gaste solo 10 o 15€ más y valió la pena. Aquí me gasté 40€ por un plato y dos copas de vino. sinceramente lo vi enfocado al turista.

    One of our favorite dinners in Barcelona. Been here a month and this place stood out. The food is amazing and also a little different than everything else here. The burrata dish is one of the most well balanced burrata plates we've had. We also loved the scallop starter, delicious flavor. The oyster mushroom dish was quite unique and surprised us with how good it was. The lamb shoulder was like butter. And that chocolate mousse was hands down the BEST we've ever had. Will go back for that alone (but will also eat all the other things too). Everything was 10/10 and we are excited to go back to try more.

    Only three stars...Typical tourist trap in El Born. Smoke and mirrors...Not worth it for locals...the two steak bites were overpowered by the seaweed sushi paper and priced at €14... we've had nicer meat to be honest...the cheese selection, Conté from Jura, was good but again very minimalistic. And finally the tortilla without eggs, so actually just Rösti, were actually the only thing on the menu really well executed and presented. It's very loud here, and the staff seem friendly but rushed...meh..

    Beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere, incredible food. We sat on the bar with a view into the kitchen which was amazing. The food is exquisite and well priced for the quality. The staff are incredibly friendly - I will be coming back!

  • 5/5 hildurg g. 2 years ago on Google
    Food: great. Wine: a very long list. If you don’t like natural wines I recommend you be honest and not try to be cool and ending up during a weird cava/beer vine that you didn’t really want. There are lots of good wines.

  • 5/5 Snigdha M. 4 years ago on Google
    This was such a cool wine bar! The bartenders know their stuff and recommended according to your tastes. Had some of the BEST VERMOUTH here during our two weeks in Spain. Worth a visit! But make sure it you're dining to make a reservation, place gets packed

  • 4/5 Arsalan E. 1 year ago on Google
    If you love wine then this is definitely a place you want to check out. They have a great selection of wines from across the world. The food was good but I wish they had more selections. Good luck getting a table without reservations.

  • 5/5 Olga D. 2 years ago on Google
    What an amazing place! Extraordinary food and natural wines only - it's a heaven for me. The stuff are friendly and pleasant to chat with. Definitely a place to visit for foodies and natural wine enthusiasts. Don't forget to book a table.

  • 3/5 Simona K. 1 year ago on Google
    We came with higher expectations, the tapas were good - ham, mussels “zaburinas” anchovies and bread. Main course we also shared - chicken with spicy mayo and herbs and bass fish with broth. The organic wine was fine.

  • 4/5 Syahirah H. 1 year ago on Google
    Must visit and of course make a res. Otherwise you might not even get a table. This place is buzzing. Amazing menu and list, you will be spoilt. Come here with a friend or more as I think it’s a place where you should order everything and share it all. Enjoyed my time there. Will def be back when I’m in town.

  • 5/5 Victor A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favorite in Barcelona. The Food is amazing, the staff is very friendly and the ambience is gorgeous. Your should definitely try the oysters and the mojama. You can choose between a lot of wines but don't worry they will help you out. As a final tip you should reserve early otherwise there is no table left.

  • 5/5 Danting Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Had such a great time there being a solo traveler. The wine is just great, staff was super friendly, and the vibe is everything you wished for a wine bar. Definitely recommend! Will come again next time I’m in Barca:))

  • 5/5 Claus E. 9 months ago on Google
    Lovely place. Really good food - modern and creative tapas dishes with great taste. Great wine list. Cozy atmosphere and very attentive staff - although sometimes it got a little superficial, but there were also many guests! But definitely 5 stars and we will without doubt come again, next time hopefully before or after the high season.

  • 5/5 Daniela F. 5 months ago on Google
    Natural wines and food lovers hotspot. Must visit in every of my trips in Barcelona.

    Every dinner at Bar Brutal is special. The space is intimate, service is with great care and humour. The food is outstanding - flavourful, rich and with hints of surprises. Great menu centre around meat and fish dishes to share. Selection wine is outstanding and we are always greatly advised. Would come back everyday if I could!

    Bar Brutal is such a cool place. I loved the whole experience visiting this restaurant. The food menu was very unique and I loved the presentation of the dishes. The wine recommendations from the staff were also so helpful and we got to try some lovely wines from the region. Perfect spot for 1 on 1 catch ups and date nights!

  • 5/5 Lina S. 4 months ago on Google
    Very lovely place for all the natural wine lovers! They have delicious food, great variety of wines and very relaxed atmosphere. Service Is very lovely and careful - always ready to help and suggest. The only thing - better to book a spot in advance or you can wait for a free table.

  • 5/5 Fatoumata S. 6 years ago on Google
    Highlight of our trip in Barcelona. Awesome service, we went there without reservation and got offer a table at the bar. Best experience ever. You get to see all plates and the marvellous work their team is putting in it. Dessert not picture but I highly recommend the Crème de maïs.

    (Translated by Google) Very good service, the wine selection is magnificent. The menu is a bit limited, but the dishes they offer are very well cooked. Just remarking that the grilled vegetables was the only thing that disappointed a little. Still worth it. (Original) Servicio muy bueno, la selección de vinos magnifica. La carta es un poco limitada, pero los platos que ofrecen están muy bien cocinados. Solamente remarcar que las verduras a la brasa fué lo único que decepcionó un poco. Aún así vale la pena.

  • 4/5 Maya F. 5 years ago on Google
    Good natural wine. Friendly service from our waitress, nice wine recommendations. The manager (he had a lot of keys making a big noise as he moved through the restaurant) was a little rude as he announced that part of the restaurant was closed and we should sit in a different area. If he gets annoyed that people go into a "closed" area looking for seats, they should put up a sign. Most people are not looking for trouble and don't want to be told off or put on an awkward situation. Just put up a sign to say that part of the restaurant is closed please. Music is great! I would go back, secretly hoping the manager is not there so it can be a slightly more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Overall it was relaxed and enjoyable after we were told off and found the correct seating area.

    The organic wine selection is great, the best is to ask the staff favorites. Large longue table but also cosy seats on the back. Do not expect ?? tapas, but fine and tasty food.

  • 4/5 Mikhail 4 years ago on Google
    It’s certainly a good place to taste local wines but it’s also quite pricey therefore 4 stars.

  • 5/5 mehdi m. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a good surprise. We've been so many times disappointed by a few "trendy" and bistronomics restaurants in Barcelona... This one has decent prices, various/inventive dishes. The waiters made it even better : funky service and they were very enthousiastic. The natural wine selection was very good also.

  • 4/5 Gabriele A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is very rustic and particular. The octopus and sirloin are really good. Price a bit high in relation to the portions. (Original) Ristarnte molto rustico e particolare. Il polipo e il controfiletto sono veramente buoni. Prezzo un po' alto in rapporto alle porzioni.

  • 5/5 Tomiris A. 4 years ago on Google
    Every single item on the menu is phenomenal. Killer wine cart, extremely knowledgable English speaking sommelier. I recommend trying some natural wines (oaked and unoaked). Natural wines are crafted in small batches, typically without any sulfates or preservatives added. My husband had a chance to chat with the chef and talk about the inspiration for pork fillet mignon wrapped in seaweed, which tasted like Caspian beluga fish from his childhood. Nearly brought him to tears 10/10.
