    If you could rate this place. It would be negative 5 stars. The worst of the worst places to eat in Barcelona. After being served a drink we didn't even want we were practically forced to pay for it. Through very abusive, rude and even physical behaviour. All in front of my family and children. Furthermore, the food was over priced and of very poor quality. You would expect this quality in microwavable meals (and even then I question that comparison) and the service comparable to the kind you would get in prison (one can only imagine), not from a restaurant located in one of the most visited sites in Barcelona. This experience alone ruined my whole experience in Barcelona and if you even think of visiting this place. Don't! We need to stop funding places like this who take advantage of tourists and do it in a violent manner.

    Thought food was ok until half way through my meal I had to use the rest room to remove said food from my stomach.( according to the waiter that’s because I had paella which is a rich food, that I clearly wasn’t used to having 🤔 & let me smell your fingers to see if you made yourself sick) Following that we asked for the bill only to be given a bill of €87 for a pizza, paella and 2 cocktails.(no prices shown anywhere on menu for drinks). When my wife asked how the 2 drinks cost £45 they laughed at her and said that’s the price. I attempted to challenge this myself after returning from the toilet to which I was told that the price now pay it, he was very lucky that I didn’t insert bill up his rear end at this point however I asked to speak to the manager to which I was told they are in Israel so you can’t, but I’ll call the police and you can speak to them instead. I waited 40 min for the police to arrive. When they did they where very polite and told us we here few times every night for the same thing, I advise you don’t come here again as they are know for over charging tourists and write a review on online to try and help the next poor person who walks past - words from a police officer. Honestly don’t go near there people you may aswell throw you money out the window of the plane and you would have done more with it than waste it here.

    There are no drinks on the menu, and when the bill comes you learn they were pricy. Frozen food, only reheated before serving. Poorly cleaned bathrooms.

    Absolutely the worst restaurant I’ve ever eaten in ! On the menu they are advertising tea and toast for 4:50€ but we asked for cheese instead and were charged 20:75€ !!!!! When we questioned it they said it was that price because we had eaten outside !!!! Very unprofessional waiter and really aggressive attitude to the point that they even pushed my husband. Avoid this place at all costs , when we saw that they had more staff than customers that was a warning sign. If there was -5 star negative it would be too much for this place Total rip off!

  • 1/5 Erwan A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) to avoid. As a couple, we managed for the modest sum of € 60 (including € 5 fee I do not know what.) € 60 for frozen food. A sangria at 13-14 €. Pay 60 € for a GOOD restaurant does not bother me. this is clearly abused. (Original) à éviter. En couple, nous nous en sommes tirés pour la modique somme de 60€ ( dont 5€ de frais de je ne sais quoi. ) 60 € pour de la bouffe surgelé. Une sangria à 13-14€. Payer 60€ pour un BON restaurant ne me dérange pas. là c'est clairement abusé.

    If I could rate this place with negative ☆ i would give them 10 negative ☆ Let's start with beer. 10 Eur for beer is too much even for a 5-star hotel... Of course, there are no drinks on the menu, so you learn the price once you get the bill. Frozen food is reheated before serving. Tapas...taste was like it was prepared by a child who was practicing how to cook something from a microwave... Shame...

    Avoid! no prices in drink menu, you order a specific small beer for 4 Eur then arrogant waiter brings you the bill for the most expensive beer from the bar for 11 and argues there was no other. A place focused only on fooling tourists!

  • 2/5 Michael W. 4 years ago on Google
    Very expensive for the area and though it is centrally located there is so many more better restaurants that don't have 10 to 15 dollar drinks. The food sizes are small for the price, we expected to be able to share, but we remained hungry at the end. Probably wouldn't recommend with all the great restaurants in the city

  • 1/5 Lee L. 5 months ago on Google
    Disappointed in unscrupulous and unethical service. We ordered a seafood stew and a serving of bread and we were given two seafood stews and 3 servings of bread which was obviously what we did not order. We were forced to pay for the orders we definitely did not make but the unscrupulous waiter claimed that was what we ordered! Please do not patronise this restaurant!

    Boycott at all costs! We were forced to accept 2 portions of fish stew and 3 portions of bread when we only ordered one of each. Very very unethical and dishonest supervisor. Patronise at your own risk!

    Very slow service and mediocre food. Wine & cocktail menu, but no prices for any other drinks. Be warned… €6.50 for a Coke Zero!!! When we challenged the waiter he blamed his boss who was conveniently not around.

    Worst service ever! At first the waiter talked to another waiter in spanish about us and didn't know that I understand every word! The pasta was nice, the margarita was good. But the service was so bed that it effect the food. Was sorry I ever set there. When he served the bill we paid with cash and left. He started screaming in the street we need to pay, I raised my hand and pointed the money on the table.(why on earth will I leave without paying?!) Was a terrible expirence, SUPER disepointed. Such a tourist place and a horrible service.

    They tried to add 25€ to the bill after overcharging for the food and drinks. They are tourist predators. Horrible food, service and people.

  • 3/5 Claudia Z. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, very expensive. Since the restaurant is located directly in the tourist center, it is correspondingly expensive. Above all, we enjoyed the ambience outside. Just sitting in the old town of Barcelona in the gothic quarter in front of the church Santa Maria del Pi has just something. The food was ok, but not outstanding. If you want to enjoy really good Barcelonian food, you should go somewhere else. For those who want to rest briefly and drink sangria or coffee is and if possible in a nice ambience, it is recommended. (Original) Leider sehr teuer. Da sich das Restaurant direkt im touristischen Zentrum befindet, ist es entsprechend teuer. Wir haben dort vor allem das Ambiente draußen genossen. Direkt in der Altstadt von Barcelona im gotischen Viertel vor der Kirche Santa Maria del Pi zu sitzen hat einfach etwas. Das Essen war ok, aber nicht herausragend. Wer wirklich gutes Barceloneser Essen genießen will sollte woanders hingehen. Für alle die kurz ausruhen wollen und Sangria oder Kaffee trinken möchten ist und das möglichst in schönem Ambiente ist es empfehlenswert.

    It was OK. The food looks better that it tastes but the location is around the student's area in Barcelona. More like a LGBT hubb. The beer was cold and delicious though.

    One liter sangria and it was good! Fun watching tourist go by.

  • 1/5 P W. 5 months ago on Google
    Con men! There were 3 of us, and we ordered a portion of the seafood stew (30+ euros), it looked massive, we just wanted a light dinner and told the waiter so. The waiter asked us in a misleading tone, he asked if it was for 1 or 2 people, we said 2. And he turned up with 2 portions of the seafood stew, it was massive! Definitely not for one person. Then he insisted that we asked for 2 portions. Rolled his eyes at us, kept insisting that we wanted it, and we felt like we had been conned. We should have checked reviews before sitting down. Beware. The food was mediocre.

  • 2/5 Razvan G. 4 years ago on Google
    I asked for a food menu, they told me they have so many, that I would be overwhelmed. So a beer costs 12 euro.. . when you don't see the menu. Stay away of this place, if you don't want the ripoff experience:)

  • 1/5 Tarun T. 5 years ago on Google
    Way too overpriced for what they are offering. We were sitting outside and the waiter was hardly ever there. At one point a beggar came to our table a took some tapas with him and there was no waiter to stop him. Bad food and bad service.

  • 2/5 Mark B. 4 years ago on Google
    Paella was rather bland. Drinks tasted watered down. Overall seemed overpriced and poor quality, definitely a tourist trap.

  • 1/5 Janis S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have 5 people. Stayed there for 2 hours and only ordered pizza, as even this cost € 12. The pizza was obviously a frozen pizza and therefore tasted bad. In the whole time we were not served a second time, we were simply ignored even though we were the only guests. Typical touristic restaurant. High prices, poor quality. (Original) Wir haben uns zu 5 Pers. für 2h dort aufgehalten und haben jeweils nur Pizza bestellt, da selbst diese schon 12€ gekostet hat. Die Pizza war offensichtlich eine Tiefkühlpizza und hat dementsprechend miserabel geschmeckt. Innerhalb der ganzen Zeit sind wir kein zweites mal bedient worden, man hat uns einfach ignoriert und das obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren. Typisch touristisches Restaurant. Hohe Preise, schlechte Qualität.
