La Gastronomica — Restaurant in Barcelona

We go places and always like to try the local favorites. Obviously traditional food is a must whenever you’re visiting a different country. That being said not all burgers are made equal! We opted for burgers for dinner today. Being from Vegas which is a foodies playground . Traveled a few places but this place hit the spot. We walked over. It is a smaller place with with 15-20 spaces inside and seating outside as well. It was a little chilly out so we sat inside. We were attended immediately. Oddly enough we were told we might be the first Vistors from Las Vegas. A couple from California was also enjoying dinner. So atmosphere was great! So, as you walk in you get all the new delicious smells. I believe we ordered all the burgers with the exception of the vegetarian. We will start with the BBQ burger . It was great. Cooked just right with a bun that was nice and soft and the sauce on the burger was there but not overwhelming. We had the grilled potatoes with that. , Then we move on the cheese burger or was good but some more cheese would have been great and we added bacon . We were also given some habanero sauce which was spicy 🌶️ but add to the meal. Last and definitely not least. The pulled pork burger. This was the most delicious pulled pork burger I’ve ever had . Nearly perfection and highly recommend you give this a try. The chicken burger was nice and juicy and cooked to perfection as well. Overall if you’re looking for a good burger in Barcelona you have to try this place. You will not regret it. Tell them vegas sent you. If and home made dessert were nice touch to finish the night. We also had wings and those were cooked and...

We ate here by accident. It was my partner's birthday and we had reservations elsewhere and at the last minute, they cancelled our reservation. I found this place because it was close to where we were staying. We didn't realize it, but we arrived right about the time they were closing, plus they had no seats available (a sign of a great restaurant). We explained that we really wanted to try them and we were starving. The host graciously explained that a couple seated at the bar had their check and if they left we could take their seats. Luckily the couple left about 5 minutes later. We promised we would be the easiest guests - we ordered some really exciting dishes from the menu - the squid, a salad, potatas bravas, jamon, tuna tartare...they were ALL amazing. Then the chef started talking with us and explained some of the preparations. He then brought us a sample of a pork rib dish to taste - amazing again. Literally this was one of the most reasonably priced dinners but the food quality and ambiance were wonderful. We were so lucky to get that last minute seating, and suddenly all was great in the world again. I cannot wait for our return to Barcelona and our return to La...

Incredible tapas restaurant in a seriously cool part of town that deserves attention. We happened upon La Gastronomica after a long walk up and down Montjuic and it was an absolute gem of a find! The kitchen is staffed by two consummate professionals who know exactly what they are doing to ensure the top quality ingredients are prepared and displayed with exemplary skill and care. The restaurant has a great vibe with an open kitchen so that you can watch the magic happen. I've tried to replicate the steak once or twice but have come nowhere close. If you're just looking for a great and authentic tapas experience you will not be disappointed with this restaurant. If you're a real foodie, you will discover somethings you've never tasted before - at any of the restaurants...
