Jesús Restaurant — Restaurant in Barcelona

I ordered the pan con tomate at this restaurant. I ordered with 4 other people, and we concur about the following points: The food is delicious and the flavours are balanced. My experience with the pan con tomate was that it was just salty enough, not wet as could sometimes be the case, and just delicious in general. Additionally, the portions are, I believe, big enough. There is ample space, and the atmosphere is nice. It helps that it's not a massive restaurant and thus not deafeningly loud. It has a homey feel inside. The service is excellent. While their accent wasn't perfect, we were able to communicate with them without issue. The food also arrived quickly.

They offered us a special drink if we reviewed them on google while in the restaurant, we declined but that probably explains the inflated rating. Don’t be fooled there’s much nicer places...

They made it spicy like the Indian in me likes. My family on the other hand had the spicy garlic shrimp and wings and loved it . I also ordered their local tomato and bread .. delicious . Def have to go if you are in the gothic quarter in...
