    Very tasty Pulpo and Paella for reasonable prices! Not something you would expect in the middle of such a nice square. Cool atmosphere and good service. Would recommend 👍🏼

    €8.50 for a sangria which seems to be worth it given the location of the place and the size of the drink! Really cool interior and a good variety of food on the menu. Will definitely come back to see the drag show.

    Really nice place, super nice view from the terrace on the plaza real, we enjoyed the experience ! The atmosphere was great and lively, the setting wonderful (you should have a look on the bathroom’s design 😉) and the service was good, we enjoyed the food ! The tapas and the paella tasted good, except for the cheese that we found a little too greasy as it was drowned in oil, but besides, it was all good !

    In the gay district of Barcelona, your hosts greeting you are likely to be dressed in drag and very bubbly. Fun for all who can loosen up now and then. Great selection of specialty cocktails from mild to wild, plus all your favorites and local beer. Largely seafood menu but there are also some beef & chicken options. A good selection of appetizers will get you started right. See photos of menus from 10/2022. Located in a large plaza which attracts many people, many restaurants are nearby for you to pick from.

  • 5/5 Davinia L. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We were dining on the terrace, I suppose that due to THE SITUATION it was recommended to place all clients in the outdoor space. Very attentive and friendly staff and despite the fact that some dishes were missing from the menu, the ones we tried were very rich. In the heart of Barcelona, ​​in such a tourist place it is not easy to find places like this. Original and quality. (Original) Estuvimos cenando en la terraza supongo que debido a LA SITUACIÓN era recomendable situar a todos los clientes en el espacio exterior. Personal muy atento y amable y a pesar de que que faltaban algunos platos de la carta los que probamos estaban muy ricos. En pleno centro de Barcelona, en un lugar tan turístico no es nada fácil de encontrar sitios así. Originales y de calidad.

    We had a great late afternoon lunch here. The black anaconda paella (squid ink paella, clams and squid) was one of favourite dishes of our trip. The service was good and was generally well priced considering it’s location on the Pl. Reial.

    I can’t tell you how much I loved this place! The food was beyond my expectations, waiters spoke English and were kind. I was really surprised. We were sitting outside and all tables were occupied. I loved their aubergine with honey the most. I’ve never tried something similar before.

    What can I say about the best dining experience in Barcelona? I had the Tibidabo Mountain Paella which was absolutely delicious. The service was very prompt, attentive, and friendly. I was on the patio for most of the night but the music from the live band; The Outsiders of Dixie, drew me inside. With the jazzy swing music, amazing service, and scrumptious food this is the hottest place to be on Barcelona!

    I have been a client for many years now and every time I come to Barcelona I stop by. I love the place, the vibe, the food and the cocktails, but what I love the most is how good the hostess are. Abel and Manuel are always attentive, fun and easygoing. I love having a laugh with them! Do not change anything! Please do not hesitate to visit this place if you have a chance! You will not regret it! I look forward to coming back again soon!

    Really liked it there! Except for the very nice atmosphere of the placa, the stuff and the food in there were great! Will come back!

  • 4/5 Maria A. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was good, the service was fast, not particularly friendly, just alright and efficient. The place was a nice vibe, ideal for a casual friday evening with some friends, there ia also outside seating. Overall you can tell it's a bit mainstream, but that's clear already due to the location.

  • 5/5 Carlito 8 months ago on Google
    My review is based purely on the drinks, service and vibe of the place. I give it 5 stars. The wait staff were excellent. They were attentive, efficient, friendly, courteous and with a smile. One of the better service experiences during my 5 weeks in Europe. Set inside Plaça Reial, it's a great stop in the afternoon to sit in the shade, cool down with their many drinks on offer and people watch in the plaza. I got an iced coffee and a beer and both hit the spot. The afternoon isn't too hectic either, so it's a pleasant environment. Prices are also reasonable for the opportunity to soak up the vibes in Plaça Reial. Worth the stop.

  • 5/5 Riccardo D. 2 years ago on Google
    This was the best place ever! The food was amazing, the waiters very friendly and perfect location to celebrate my 40th! We were a group of 20 people with kids and everybody was super helpful and did everything to make us feel at home!!! Alba the manager was an absolute star!!!

  • 4/5 Leila B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place for sitting outside to enjoy food and drinks in the plaza Reial! Lovely staff and service! Good prices given the location! Really enjoyed my time here, very relaxing brunch and would definitely recommend! The staff are friendly and accommodating, thank you for a lovely brunch in my short stay in Barcelona! I will be sure to come back when I return!

  • 5/5 Thiem N. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a great experience at Ocana. I was served by Luis Manuel who guided me through the menu and he was very friendly. Paella was delicious and the whole setting was a vibe. The evening I was there a Jazz band was playing - loved it. Highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Gina R. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered the squid paella and octopus, they tasted delicious! However the portions were small considering the price, in my opinion. The service could very much be improved as well. I must admit, the girls were efficient, but they are a bit rude and not friendly, they could wear some smile. Also my boyfriend asked for an ashtray to 3 different waitresses, but none of them brought it!! I get it, it was a busy evening, but c'mon! So after waited for a long time, we asked it ourselves from another table. At the end of the day, customer service is to me very important regardless of how good the food/drink is.

  • 5/5 A_Rose _. 1 year ago on Google
    Host was very accommodating despite a problem with our booking and immediately found us a table. Our servers Maria and Luis were lovely and welcoming. I asked for a recommendation between two dishes and opted for the octopus with parmentier potatoes, and it was wonderful! The cocktails were very tasty, the atmosphere was busy and warm. Would definitely come back!

  • 5/5 sergio l. 1 year ago on Google
    We had such a great time sitting by the hostess who were dressed as drag queens and were very friendly, taking pictures so whomever wanted a memory with them. Food was good, the ambience is perfect and you get a view of the entire plaza and the people in it. Bathrooms are cool design and have a view as you’re watching your hands of the plaza. We had a great time!

  • 5/5 Mark S. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for lunch and had the 3 course set menu for 15 euros. Amazing value and highly recommended. Black squid ink paella was amazing.

  • 5/5 Bobby A. 1 year ago on Google
    A must have in Barcelona. Amazing food, great ambiance and awesome staff. And to top it off, great live music. Our server was Luis Manuel and he was simply fantastic. Cannot wait to come back!

  • 4/5 MORTIZ 8 months ago on Google
    The server provided exceptional service, displaying friendliness and courtesy throughout. The wine selection perfectly complemented our meal, and the seafood paella was a delightful original dish. I especially appreciated the outdoor seating overlooking the plaza. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in the surrounding area.

  • 5/5 Dante H. 5 months ago on Google
    Absolutely impeccable vibes. The location right off the plaza makes for a beautiful location to have drinks and snacks. Whether it's people watching outside, or the live music inside, you're bound to have a good time. Service was courteous, efficient, and helpful. Prices were reasonable and the food was all great.

  • 5/5 Jadranka L. 7 months ago on Google
    We were here a couple of times during our stay in Barcelona. It's such a cool place. Lively atmosphere. Excellent food and cocktails. One evening we also enjoyed a live concert.

  • 5/5 Andrea R. 9 months ago on Google
    The food, drinks, and service at Ocaña were incredible! Denis and Catalina took excellent care of use. We came here twice, the first time was after our Gothic Quaternary tour with Adriano…. Needless to say, these New Yorkers look for restaurants that can meet the complexities of our tastes buds. Ocaña showcases delicious mediterranean dishes that are simple yet complex in flavor. Order the squid ink pasta, fresh fried calamari AND the summer sangria and strawberry/regular Moscow mule. You won’t be disappointed! The cocktails are flavorful and reasonably priced. The service is four stars. Thank you Denis and Catalina for making us feel at home in your city. Cheers to a fantastic experience!!!

  • 5/5 Jennifyr Y. 8 months ago on Google
    We were strolling along Las Ramblas and found this charming square with palm trees surrounded by restaurants. We chose this as it had good shade and excellent reviews. We were not disappointed. We had crispy coco flat bread with tomato recommended by the polite server - which was a v tasty and textual snack. And then a selection of tapas which were all fresh and hot and delicious. We enjoyed our rest and refreshments!

  • 5/5 Thomas G. 8 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed a delicious meal on the terrace of this restaurant in the Plaza Reial! Our server Claudio took great care of us and everything we ordered came out promptly. We enjoyed some light tapas to start and followed with the steak and a meat-focused paella. Everything was delicious!!

  • 4/5 Rhys M. 4 years ago on Google
    The food tastes great but I wish there was more selection on the menu. The price of food is also astronomical. Double what you should be paying in a bar/restaurant. I prefer to go here for drinks better than food where they have incredible live music in several rooms.

  • 5/5 Lillian R. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing tasting food with unique flavours!! All of us had a different kind of dish (meat, fish, pork, vegetarian and seafood) and were impressed with each one. The waitress was very kind and tried to help us understand the menu as much as she could along with having English menus. Highly recommend. Try the non alcoholic drinks they are so amazingly weird.

  • 1/5 Amandine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Yesterday we went there with a few friends, the experience was terrible. First of all, they spilt a glass on my friend and did not even say sorry, but instead "it's OK amigo, it's white wine". Then when we asked to pay the bill, they charged us two extra beers and said "it's from the girl who left already". I speak fluent Spanish, I live in Barcelona, so I could explain that we never had those beers, also showing that they were clearly not on the table. Then the waiter said "you're super rude for your age" and then "your parents lost their time raising you". Please note that I had not said anything wrong or insulting before he told me that, I believe people should never been treated like that. It's a shame. I had already been to this bar before, the other waiters were cool and the terrasse nice..

  • 4/5 Jesse S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have a drink and enjoy the surrounding plaza. Very nice drinks, I recommend the vermouth. Getting a spot on the terrace here is like buying real estate. The closer to the center the more it is worth. Open air, arched doorways, definitely a beautiful place. Compared to the surroundings great places to eat the prices are slightly high, but your paying for location. The food is good but not life changing.

  • 5/5 Yohay H. 4 years ago on Google
    Exquisite Catalan delicacies served by lovely staff, uber-chiq characters fill up the various spaces of this rather large restaurant/bar/music venue, great selection of cocktails... What more could you ask for? How about live music venues downstairs, featuring their own bars, spectacularly designed to be something of a fusion between industrial, vintage and contemporary, seperated by a huge (historic?) mesh printing table, and even a photo booth?!? :)

    (Translated by Google) The site is beautiful, in a mythical enclave of Barcelona. But last night, the waiters seem to "ignore" the danger that the covid-19 is causing in our lives, making it easier for various groups of people to sit close to each other, with just 20cm. of separation between them. I witnessed a scene of a couple who left without paying, after a discussion with the local staff for that reason. A "hurray" for the girl who put them in their place !! (Original) El sitio es bonito, en un enclave mítico de Barcelona. Pero anoche, los camareros parecen "omitir" el peligro que el covid-19 está causando en nuestras vidas, facilitando que varios grupos de personas se sienten cerca de otras, con apenas 20cm. de separación entre ellas. Presencié una escena de una pareja que se fué sin pagar, tras una discusión con el personal del local por ese motivo. Un "hurra" por la chica que los puso en su sitio!!

    (Translated by Google) Frankly disappointed! Went for a refreshment but we were refused the table because my grandson finished a slice of pizza he had in his hand! Considering the current situation and the lack of tourists, we did not consider it very smart ☹️ ... the impression we had was that the waiter did not like the French too much! Too bad, it is the tourists who make you live !!! (Original) Franchement déçus ! Allions pour prendre un rafraîchissement mais on s'est vu refuser la table car mon petit fils terminé une part de pizza qu'il avait dans la main ! Vu la conjoncture actuelle et le manque de touristes, nous n'avons pas jugé cela très futé ☹️... l'impression que l'on a eue c'est que le serveur n'appréciait pas trop les français ! Dommage, ce sont les touristes qui vous font vivre !!!
