La Isabela Restaurant — Restaurant in Barcelona

I-N-C-R-E-D-I-B-L-E. (We were not staying in the hotel, only came for dinner to the rooftop). We had a birthday surprise dinner planned there for a friend. Booking a table for 9 people went really smoothly, the lady on the phone was very nice, sorted everything out for us very fast. We arrived, had an amazing table prepared for us. We brought a cake that we made for our friend, the staff took it to put in the kitchen’s fridge. The cake was in the baking form, they unpacked everything by themselves, put candles in, brought it in the end AND… LISTEN TO THIS. They gave us a bottle of champagne as a birthday present. So kind of them. The service was great, every 15 minutes the staff checked in with us if everything is great, asked if we need/want anything else, food arrived quickly (and is great, especially their carpaccio), you really feel taken care of. The prices are VERY PLEASANT, especially for a rooftop bar in a hotel, in the centre of Barcelona. A bottle of an ACTUALLY GOOD WINE is only 20 to 22€… Anyway, it was worth every penny, one of the best dinner experiences we had in Barcelona. Big applause to the staff. They were super kind and not just in front of the clients, I saw how they laugh and smile with each other, you really feel the vibe, they love what they do. The views are great, amazing for pictures, check it out yourself below. I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a nice intimate date, a good relaxing dinner and drinks with friends, a birthday dinner, any...

We made a reservation for 7 and were told that it was completely full when we arrived. They didn't believe when we said we had a reservation, and begrudgingly let us in the elevator after they called up. The restaurant wasn't close to being full when we got up. They asked us to move to the other side where there were only couches, no view of the sunset, and not proper dining tables, when they clearly wanted our table to give to others (this was before we got any of our food). I asked for the fruit sorbet and was told they didn't have any of the flavors. Others in our party got the paella which had uncooked rice; their review was, "it's edible." Portions are extremely small for the price and quality, and nothing tasted as good as you'd expect. However, after an issue with one of our cards, they gave champagne glasses to each of us for the trouble, which was very generous and took them from 3 to 4 stars. Good views of the...

Quiet place on top of a hotel in La Rambla. Perfect for one drink only. The views are nice. The food was very disappointing (see picture). The cheese platter had literally couple of pieces of cheese. The rice with prawns was tasteless as if the rice was boiled with water instead of fumet or stock. The burgers came cold and hard. The end up the dinner, we ordered a mango strawberry avocado mascarpone and specifically told the waiter several times (and during the whole ordering experience) about nut allergies: the dessert came with nuts (not mentioned in the description and asked to double check). Thanks god we didn’t have it and asked to change it. Overall the food can be improved and is overrated. The wine (Rueda) was good. The bill after this disappointing dinner was quite high. At least we got a shot for free. I doubt we’d be back anytime soon (or ever). Avoid...
