    We’re from Barcelona and our server had lived in Barcelona for a while so obviously we became best friends real fast. The food was excellent as always, and I really appreciate the updated menu with a separate plant based section as several of us are vegan or vegetarian. Before we left a staff member took a polaroid photo of us and it came out so cute! In my opinion this is the best spot to hang out if you’re in a big group (we were 16 last night) as you don’t feel rushed to leave just after your dinner! Thanks :-)
