👍 Overall, happy experience. The grilled artichokes (alcachofas) were excellent, drizzled with top quality olive oil and flaky sea salt. The fish and chips were crispy, not greasy, coated with corn flakes. The calamari sandwich (bocadillo de calamares) came with a soft bun and topped with creamy tarta...

    Overall, happy experience. The grilled artichokes (alcachofas) were excellent, drizzled with top quality olive oil and flaky sea salt. The fish and chips were crispy, not greasy, coated with corn flakes. The calamari sandwich (bocadillo de calamares) came with a soft bun and topped with creamy tartar sauce. The fries (chips) were good but not great. They're made from scratch with real potatoes, not frozen pre-processed, but the potatoes lacked flavor and taste. I had to ask for more salt. Service was excellent, our server Natalie was friendly and helpful.

    Great little fish n chips fusion shop. Great for a quick delicious bite. The battered fish is eloquently spiced with hints of Old Bay and turmeric. Fries are great too. Everything basically is top notch, small menu but better to serve 8 superb dishes than 30 mediocre ones. They have really good local brewed beers, including an amazing ginger beer. The owner even gave me a beer to go! Great people running a great shop! Not to mention the kingly beer cups and its dog friendly. Def going to return.

    If you didn’t know by now, I’m British. I was raised on fish & chips—well, every Friday at least. Well, once a month. But, the point is I had it A LOT. You may not go as far as saying I’m a connoisseur on fish & chips, but I would. This place knocked by British socks off. The service was friendly and fast, but the food, my dear friend, the food. We had pulpo bravas, the standard fish & chips, and the artichokes. It was all SO GOOD! If you can’t afford the flight to the U.K., which I definitely can’t anymore, cheers RyanAir, then this is the next best thing. Grab your Spanish spin on British fish & chips that’s all things right with every bite. Someone hire me as a writer, sheesh.

    Best fish and chips in Spain!! I've lived here for 4 years and can honestly say this is the best place to go for fish and chips. I highly recommend the pulpo braves and bacalao. I wish they would open a place in Alicante city 🙏

    Best fish and chips in Barcelona! Crispy fish just melts in the mouth and these chips are the tastiest among all the french fries I have tried around. Love their presentation and definitely ask for the spicy sauce. I like the other 2 sauces they give too mango and Mayo.

    I wish I could give it more stars but, this was definitely not good fish and chips. As someone else stated there’s a very distinctive taste on both the fish and fries that’s not good. My fish was also cooked too long but, the tempura peppers were tasty.

    Great fish and chips. The fish is very fresh and tastes amazing. The portions are bigger than expected. I ordered extra chips (but wasn't necessary) because there is quite a lot served below the fish. The sauces are great (mango chutney is a great touch) very friendly staff and good service. Beer and wine also available. Will definitely recommend to others and I will visit again.

    My favorite place to have fish and chips, everything is freshly made. Portions are excellent, medium size always is more than enough. The tartar sauce and mngo sauce is absolutely amazing. Its a big plus they add spices to the chips. Also, I love the service, the staff is very friendly, even to the delivery guys. And they are veey accommodating to the customer's need. Highly recommend it!

    I have to disagree with the reviews saying this is the best fish and chips they have ever had.. I feel that maybe this is one of the worst for me. The fish was overly salted and spiced, with a really tick batter that gave it the same consistency of a piece of rubber. I didn't even know if I was eating fish or something else entirely. The chips were partly overcooked and dry, partially mushy and soggy. The portion was big, but it was fairly expensive in my opinion. On top of this, almost 5€ for a can of beer seems a bit too much. I don't think I'll try this again.

    I haven’t stopped talking about this place. Incredible gluten free fish and chips! The crumb was great and chips super tasty.

  • 4/5 Mark J. 11 months ago on Google
    Great food, real vinegar and a good range of sauces - especially HP! Friendly service - I think the staff speak English if necessary - and seats available inside and outside when we went.

    Love the fish and chips. Tried the octopus last time and it was unreal. Would try that if you’re fancying something different.

  • 5/5 YY F. 1 year ago on Google
    Isn't this perfect? we had a lovely fish and chips tonight, great taste, large portion and superb service, I wish we discovered this restaurant earlier!

  • 4/5 Christine C. 11 months ago on Google
    Ordered the small fish cone which came with 2 pcs of fish and chips. It was a good portion size. I expected something a bit more traditional. The fish was battered in like..cornflakes.. which tasted alright but not exceptional. The chips were seasoned with something I wasn’t a huge fan of. Again, not bad but not the best. Def not what you’d get at a English pub. The sauces tartar and honey sauces were really good. The homemade lemonade was tart but really good!

    The fish batter was very hard, almost over-cooked. The fries were good but had a hot seasoning on them which I wasnt expecting. Staff and service was vert good.

  • 5/5 Celina F. 2 years ago on Google
    Totally recommend! I’ve gone multiple times and it never fails. The service is great and quick. Food is always delicious and fresh. The portions are really good and it’s affordable as well. Even if you do a take away, it’ll still taste amazing.

    I'm a big fan of the fish and chips but recently the portion sizes have shrunk, you still get three pieces of fish but they're about half the size they used to be... I would be happy to pay more for full sized pieces of fish

  • 2/5 Flash T. 1 year ago on Google
    Surprisingly the best food around (and tried many different places in Gracia). Would give 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Edit: I'm sorry but I have to change my opinion. When I was eating there for a third time, bravas were so salty that impossible to eat. The food in there is inconsistent. If you will get lucky, You will have a really nice meal, but of not, terrible!

    Probably the best fish and chips I tried so far. It's worth a visit.
