El Disbarat — Restaurant in Barcelona

Had a lunch on a Wednesday, with a reservation.

The place is very nice, on two floors and with the grill which can be seen. We had the calçotada menu, which includes toasted bread with tomato and garlic, 15 calçots per person, a main of meat or fish, a dessert and coffee - drinking included.

The bread was fresh and comes in very large slices. Calçots were hot and the serving was generous. Nice accompanying "romesco" sauce. We had "vacio" (flank steak) with potatoes and "pimento de padrón" peppers, and "entraña" (skirt steak) with salad. We had grilled artichokes. The meat was very tender and excellently cooked. The crema catalana that we had for dessert was also good.

The waiters were very welcoming and helpful. Consider making a reservation if possible.

We had heard that this was a great place to try calçots, a seasonal Catalan delicacy (something like grilled small leeks, dipped in a special sauce), and it was so good we went back a second time. Prix fixe menu was a terrific deal - a bottle of local wine (which we loved), water, starter, main dish and dessert, all for less than 30 euros/person. The service was outstanding the first time we went - our server talked us through the menu with great explanations and demonstrations, and he was interesting to talk to. The second time service was also friendly and good, despite the fact that they were much busier. It's not a fancy place, it's a neighborhood restaurant with pleasant decor and truly...

We had a birthday lunch here for 10 people and chose the group menu. The tapas were delicious and felt very traditional — my favorites were the croquettes and the artichokes. For the main course, I had a lovely steak served with homemade fries, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Dessert was tiramisu — not the classic Italian version, but still a nice sweet ending to the meal.

The staff were absolutely amazing: super friendly, fast, and attentive. I’ll definitely come back next time I want to share some traditional Catalan cuisine with friends. Highly...
