La Platilleria — Restaurant in Barcelona

I went three times. The food is nice, but portions are very small and prices are too high. The portion of jamón were couple of slices. Now, the service is alright but yesterday we really didn’t like the way the waiter pushed us to order more dishes and urged us that we have to order everything at once, which I have never seen in tapas restaurant before. She repeated three times that we are not ordering enough. That if she would know she wouldn’t give us the table on the terrace.

I had an amazing time at La Platilleria as a solo diner. I luckily got a seat at the bar, well before it got too busy for walk-ins.

For dessert I was recommended the caramelised banana with dulce de leche and it did not disappoint. The service, food and wine were all amazing. And to top it off, the pricing was incredibly fair! I'll gladly be back next time...
