   Locale molto particolare e tipico. Cibo ottimo. Personale molto cortese. Nella sala che affaccia sulla cucina c’è forse un po’ di rumore legato all’attività di preparazione dei piatti.

   The Service was great. But the food was not what we were expecting from the „new years Menu“ for 130€. The crab soup was far from good. It looked and tasted so bad. We could not eat it. The tables Next to us, also had to send it back. The main course barely had vegetables on the side. It was basically meat and two Mini carrots. The Dessert looked really pretty but it tasted like nothing. I‘m really disappointed. This should not happen at this Price range.

   We went to Los Caracoles for dinner on Christmas Eve. The restaurant is in an ancient building in the gothic district and is charming and quirky. We walked through the bar, waited to be seated then walked through the frenetic, hot kitchen to another room where we were seated. Seating is tight but comfortable and it’s fun to watch the goings on. The waiters were all very friendly and the food arrived fairly promptly considering the number of customers. My daughter-in-law and I had the baked cod with prunes which was delicious. My husband had the tender 2/4 roast suckling pig and my son had a steak which he felt was over cooked a little. There were no vegetables served with the meals but for roast potatoes with the pig. It’s a Barcelona experience I would recommend.

    Overall a terrible experience. Firstly, as a couple we were seated next to a whining baby (when other room was available). The service was very, very slow and not friendly at all. The paella was not very good. The small portions of clams and mussels were “old” and dry and I’m pretty sure made me a bit ill in the stomach. The lobster was ok, if not small. While I appreciate the history of the restaurant, time has passed it by. Pass.

    Delightful busy place with tins of character. Roast suckling pig was outstanding. Escargot yummy. The server was fun and let us take our time. Just the ambiance is worth it. Careful ordering martinis. A "normal" martini is a sweet awful drink. Just be very specific or go straight for the Spanish wine.

    The food was okay, but the waiter was gruff and inattentive; however the host was accommodating when he could not find my open table reservation, he sat us anyway. It was a very average experience.

    Went during lunch on Sunday Oct-2-2022 and everything was perfect. Had croquettes, shrimp & garlic, egg/truffles and mixed paella. Delicious food, good value, and perhaps the best sangria we had the entire trip.

    This restaurant is an absolute gem! It was highly recommended to us and we are so glad we went. The paella is outstanding as were all the dishes we ordered. It’s an iconic restaurant that should be booked when you are next in Barcelona. And don’t let the specific block it’s on deter you. It’s so fabulous!

    We were treated a bit as if they were doing a favor waiting on us. The server, although stoically kind, was overwhelmed plating paella and very inattentive to guests. Definitely too many tables, plenty of available help, would say poor/non-aware Managment?

    I would go back! Went with f four other family members. Read reviews and it sounded good but with some comments warning of wait times. So I made a reservation for a Friday night which meant that we got in at 9:30. If you want to eat earlier on weekend nights try to get reservations a week in advance. This applies to all of the better BCN restaurants. The food is what wins you over. The process for getting seated had some ad hoc elements that made waiting customers a bit nervous. Fortunately my daughter-in-law is fluent in Spanish and was able to interject that we had reservations when the host fella overlooked us to greet another customer. Not sure what is going on here. Once we were seated, the service wait for first contact was longer than what is normal in the rest of Europe. Just as some of us were getting irritated, a waiter appeared. From that point on, we received good service and very good food. So this is a case of alls well that ends well. Be persistent, you will not be sorry!

    My wife and I made a reservation at Los Caracoles last night on the recommendation of my brother who had dined here previously. Wow, we were not disappointed. When you enter the restaurant, you walk right past the kitchen where the charcoal fired stoves get your attention with the heat they put out. But you also get a glimpse of the amazing paella dishes that the chef is preparing. My wife ordered the lobster paella and it was fantastic while I ordered the roast chicken. The lobster paella is served with numerous clams along with a half of a lobster. The rice was excellent and complimented the dish perfectly. My chicken was so juicy and cooked perfectly with a herb seasoning on the outside. Our waiter was a delight and we were warmly greeted by the owner, who is the 5th generation of family ownership. Excellent restaurant and one you want to be certain to dine at while in Barcelona.
