We did what everybody else who's left a review did: after Park Guell, relied on Google Maps (and reviews) to find a spot for lunch nearby. Normally I would have been leery of any place along that touristy walk, but La Granja de Gracia was lovely. The service was lovely (and to address the review that said if you don't speak Spanish, it's challenging, that's not the case at all: the menu included English and our main server spoke perfectly good English). We had potatos bravas, asparagus with mayo. two kinds of croquettes (ham and mushroom), salad with fried goat cheese and bread with tomato. For all that + two draft beers, it was €35, and it was more than enough for two. It was all delicious, the service was good, and the atmosphere had a nice little (it is pretty small)...
Read moreExcellent cafe/ restaurant away from the tourist spots in Barcelona. You can see lots of locals eat there. We loved the lady who runs the restaurant(possibly the owner). So lovely and warm in greeting us to the cafe. Food was excellent. We tried spanish omelettes and pizzas. The food was so good and fresh, we returned the next morning again. Also serves great coffee. Must visit if you want to taste real Barcelona. About 12 mins walk...
Read moreErem dues persones que hem volgut anar a fer unes cerveses a les 19:30h, ens comenten que tenim temps fins les 20:00h, ja que les taules s’hauran d’alliberar per sopar. Decidim fer unes tapes (3 per dues persones), el nom és “Granja de Gràcia” no pas “Express Gràcia” pel que creiem que és correcte per poder gaudir de la terrassa. Fem una nova ronda de beures, i per ultim demanem una més. Ens comenten que, si demanen la taula per sopar, haurem de passar dins, li comentem, que ens acabem el beure i marxem (ja ens ha semblat malament, i, spoiler, no hi havia NINGÚ esperant). Passats 10 minuts tornen, encara teniem beguda a la copa, i ens diuen si volem res més, diem que no i porten el compte amb el datàfon - sense demanar-ho, obviament-. Decidim, que esperin, i que si us plau portin el comte en uns minuts. Posteriorment decidim dir-lis-ho. Ens sembla força desagradable que després de 33€ et fotin fora, amb presses, assetjant cual “urraques”, ni que servissin llagosta o fos això “El Bulli” senyors que és una Granja 😂. Els pobres treballadors, no saben que dir, entenem que son treballadors, però el seu cap deixa molt que desitjar. Evidentment...
