Dionisos | Eixample — Restaurant in Barcelona

Dionisos 🥙⚡️ It’s Basically a Blessing from Olympus I had been on a mission not just to eat, but to find a proper gyros in Barcelona. You know, the kind where the chicken is so juicy, so perfectly seasoned, that it feels like you are kissing Zeus on the cheek and he’s smiling back with pride.

So for a special lunch with friends, we booked Dionisos and it turned out to be exactly the kind of place that delivers more than just a meal.

From the very first bite of tzatziki, I knew we were in for something proper. Creamy, tangy, ice-cold, and paired with soft, warm pita. Simple, yes, but done perfectly. And then… the gyros.

Juicy chicken, a hint of char, fresh toppings, soft pita, and that first bite where everything melts together.

The staff were relaxed, kind, and handled our group with zero stress like they’d hosted hundreds of lively gatherings before and still meant every “enjoy your meal.” The whole place had that warm, effortless Greek energy ;)

We came in celebrating, and left feeling like the celebration found us.

Will I be back? Absolutely. With friends, or solo, or for no reason at all. Because sometimes, you just need a little taste...

Those saying that this is excellent Greek food clearly have never tasted authentic Greek food.

Most, but not all, of the staff were impertinent and rushing around the place making it feel more like a fast food place than a proper restaurant. Given the costs it should feel more like the latter.

In my case, I had Moussaka which tasted more like lasagna than the real thing should do. It was simply okay when disregarding that, but it's absurd to serve Greek food without any salad or at least oil for the bread, which clearly was the cheapest dryest thing they could buy and not at all homemade, or good for that matter.

What was good was that not all of the staff was rude and that the atmosphere was rather nice. This place would be good if they put more effort into what they serve than just using the Greek cuisine as a cover to seem more exotic.

In general, don't listen to the number of stars a restaurant has on Google maps if it's in a...

Every time we visit Barcelona, Dionisos is always a must-dine for us — and we come back multiple times during each trip because the food never disappoints. The flavors are authentic, fresh, and consistently outstanding.

The staff are warm, welcoming, and always spot on with their recommendations. On our most recent visit, we were served by Diego, who was absolutely fantastic — incredibly friendly, helpful, and with a natural charm that made our experience even more enjoyable. His service skills and warm demeanor truly stood out.

Dionisos is one of those rare restaurants where you feel at home every time, and we’ll keep coming back again and again....
