El Mirall Dels Encants — Restaurant in Barcelona

I got immediate vibes of sub-par expectations to quality when the wine bottle was left on the table for free refills. To my surprise, the starter was good and I considered perhaps having misjudged the place. The main corrected my view being overly dry with overly watery vegetables with no specific taste whatsoever. I ate enough to not feel hungry and left the rest to take back. The dessert was topped with sugar both on the flan itself, and the accompanying whipped cream straight from the can. Way too sweet. I saw yet another dessert being served to another client on my way to pay which looked anything but delicious. Overall I'd say this could be a staple restaurant if you know exactly what to expect and what to pay, 12EUR. In their benefit, the service was super fast (but never saw a single smile), and the whole ordeal was over in less than an hour. Also, wine is flowing free for those who do not care...

It’s a quick place to grab a bite. The service was awful and rude. From the moment we walked in, we were ignored and unacknowledged. The server cleaned all empty tables but didn’t come to service ours which had dirty plates from previous guests and new guests to attend to. There was no one else awaiting a clean table and after I waved him down 7 minutes later, he came to our table. He was argumentative about a dish rather than understanding and explaining that it could have been a misunderstanding. The food was fine and average, which is what’s expected from this type of establishment, but the experience could have been so...

Prix Fixe menu was a huge disappointment. Nobody was thrilled with the mixed salad, but it wasn't terrible (just a little too light on the dressing).Two of us had the steak which was about 5 mm thick and mostly bone and fat. The chocolate orange desert was dry and lacking in flavor. Two of us ordered the salmon and were instead served anchovies (I guess). It had taken so long to get the food that we elected to just accept what had been delivered. It wasn't very good. The flan was overcooked. Don't be fooled by the photos, either - they make the place look nicer than...
