I ordered 2 tapas: 1. calamari, and 2. Octopus tentacles with potato. The calamari was fresh, easy to chew while the seasoning was spot on. I liked it very much. The octopus texture was a little on the hard side compared to the calamari. But I guess that’s the nature of the cuttlefish texture. I wish I could finish both but unfortunately I was too full. 5 star for the dishes and friendly owner/ staff

Very yummy food, recommend the vegan burrito, the roasted peppers in it were great! Service was lovely, seems like a great guy, and my favourite Estrella Damm on draft! Couldn't ask for much more! little bit quiet, but we didn't mind!

We had a few draft beers and ham/cheese sandwich, very good. After walking for a few hours it was wonderful to have such a nice, friendly place with reasonable prices to rest up to go again.

We passed this restaurant by chance and decided to enjoy some tapas. There served draft beer and the calamari and sardinas were very tasty and fresh. The staff was very nice and attentive. Highly recommended.

Great food and low prices! We had paella with seafood and it was delicious! Good assortment of all type of wines, also the wine was realisable priced.

This humble gem was a welcome reprieve from the overpriced yet underwhelming counterparts of the area. They were very accommodating and made the best croquettas even though they were about to close. Service was great, Dharminder was lovely. Highly recommend!

Very good food! We stopped by chance, but I don’t regret it at all. It was the best tapas I’ve had in Barcelona.
