Best Romantic Restaurants in Vallcarca i els Penitents

Food was delicious. Refined atmosphere. Great meal

We went to Shoku on Christmas Day for the Christmas Menu. We made an early reservation at 1:30 which means we get there when it is quieter and less crowded, which we like. There was Christmas music playing of all the old favorites. The service was excellent throughout the meal with someone filling our wine glasses as needed, taking empty plates away promptly, and ensuring that we didn't need anything. The menu was delicious with two options for each course. I had the mushroom and chicken cannelloni and my husband had the traditional Catalan soup, Escudella y Carn D'olla, with was flavorful and plentiful. Then we both had the sea bass in a Catalan Sauce, and Apple Strudel with pistachio ice cream for dessert. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. All included wine and a final dessert of turrones and cookies for our sobremesa time. The price was very reasonable for this delicious meal. We will definitely go back.

The wagyu beef was amazing! Service was exemplary. One of the best meals we’ve had, and a great experience!

Our best dinner during our stay in Barcelona. As it has taken me so long to finally write this review, I've forgotten what I had -- pasta, I think -- but all was wonderful! Service was friendly and helpful. We so appreciated our waiter's excellent English and his advice on the menu. We will certainly dine here again when we return to Barcelona in December. Thank you!

Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing. You have to try their paella and passionfruit mojito. Everyone working there are such sweethearts! Would 10/10 recommend. And the best plus point! The cathedral view!
