Enriqueta Barcelona — Restaurant in Barcelona

Disclaimer: we just left and didnt eat in this restaurant. The manager welcomed us at 12:55 and said we could not order because “kitchen opens at 1”. Ok, we can sit and wait although it would be good to order al so the kitchen has it as we are in a rush but oh well... My wife says “can I order a juice? Yes he says. But you cannot order lunch until 1 pm”. Great, she says a bit frustrated,I will first go to the bathroom and pick one. She comes back to the table ready to order but the waiter says “no, now it’s 1 pm and we dont serve smoothies - I am only doing my job” We end up leaving. He makes no effort to apologize not compensate. His name was Hadid. Or sthg similar. We asked to speak to the mgr he claimed he was but not the owner.

If you own this place - I cant believe you hired such a lazy and useless waiter. We never take the time to write bad reviews. But this...

The place is quite neat, however, it is quite expensive. The food was OK and the portions come in fancy dishes and etc. considering it is located in a neighborhood away from tourist areas we expect a generous portion or a fair price, which was not the case. As it was our first experience in the city we ended up eating there and figured out later the regular prices in touristic areas, which is around € 13 - € 15.

The service in the beginning was very good but after a few minutes some people came and we never saw the waitress again 🥲, i know it is not her fault, because she was extremely busy, but anyway, my final opinion is that for the price they charge you surely can find better options.

Also, be aware, they will charge you 10% on top of the menu price.

This next one is not a complain, but they don’t have ketchup for the...

Vam dinar-hi bé un diumenge 4 persones. (Dividiré la ressenya en les tres categories del GMaps.)

Menjar: El que vam menjar és el següent: Bomba de tomàquet (la idea i presentació genial, el tomàquet en sí no tant, però vam suposar que en temporada de tomàquets seria millor). Calamercets (bons, la salseta també), Truita Trufada (amb rovell d'ou a dins, un gust. Li faltava sal però moolt bona.) i Braves de Yuca (la salsa bona, i no estem acostumats a la yuca però per provar va estar bé). De segons, una pasta al Frutti Di mare (ens va encantar!!! Boníssima), la Tagliata de vedella (molt bona també) i la Causa de Pop (no ens va agradar tant, però ja ens van avisar que o ens encantava o al contrari, i vam voler descobrir-ho.) Malauradament, no vam tenir forat per postres. Vam beure un vi rosat.

Servei: El cambrer que ens va atendre va ser molt amable de recomanar-nos plats i explicar-nos com funcionaven, ja que era el nostre primer cop. Vam fer-ho quasi tot per compartir. Al final de l'àpat, però, li vam comentar que havíem demanat massa menjar i que ens ho hauria d'haver dit, i ens va dir que ho havia pensat però no va dir-ho 😅. Tema a part, a la carta del menjar hi havia un full que era en català, però en cada carta estava a un lloc diferent (a la última pàgina després de les begudes, a la segona, en alguna hi faltava...), hi faltava coherència. Al parlar en català, el cambrer no ens entenia del tot però hi va posar esforç, i ens va dir que l'estava començant a aprendre!

Ambient: És bonic, en va agradar la decoració! Només hi havia dues taules a part de la nostra, així que no hi havia soroll. La llum que entrava al final del local, passada la cuina, era agradable. Però de tant en tant venia una pudor molt desagradable de clavaguera, i vam haver d'obrir nosaltres una porta a l'exterior per ventilar dues vegades.

Vam pagar uns 45€ per persona.

En resum, ens va agradar provar el restaurant, que el vam descobrir pel Joc de Cartes, i va ser una experiència bona malgrat algun inconvenient. És ben probable que hi tornem per provar altres coses que feien bona pinta, i sobretot pels postres, que en van dir que eren ben bons!
