Le Grand Café Rouge - Restaurant — Restaurant in Barcelona

EDITED: I came back after 2 years and I can say that it has improved. The portions are better, menu is still simple but taste was very good. Why not 5 stars: gluten free options were not clear. They suggested the lemon sorbet as a gluten free dessert but it came cover of something crunchy and the waiter mentioned there was „a bit“ of gluten there. ———————- Overall the place is worth a visit but be prepared to be constantly up-sold at every opportunity. We’ve been there twice now but the second trip was disappointing, both in terms of the food and the way in which our complaints were handled - they were completely ignored by the manager who didn’t even bother to offer an apology or an explanation. A side dish of vegetables consists of two baby potatoes cut in half (eur 4.50). Undercooked turbot went without explanation. The bill reflected everything we ordered, plus the bread which we didn’t and no offer was made to remove any...

Very sorry to say that this was the worst dining experience we have ever had. Great service (except no champagne glasses for our 125 euro wine and to go bag) but terrible food (except the foie gras pate). The lobster salad was inedible, the duck was tough and flavorless and the steak was thin and bland. We did not eat our entrees and we didn’t even take it to go. It was my Husband’s birthday and after paying over 200 euros we had to come home and eat a sandwich. We were too embarrassed to complain about the entrees because we had sent back the salad. The Manager did the best he could but nothing is going to fix bad product except the Chef that purchases the food. It is no wonder the restaurant was empty. What a waste of a great space and a...

Jeg har netop haft den mest fantastiske oplevelse på restauranten Le Grand Café Rouge, og jeg bliver nødt til at dele det! Allerede fra det øjeblik jeg trådte ind, blev jeg mødt med smil og varme – og ikke mindst en service i absolut topklasse. En særlig tak skal gå til Rani, som gjorde hele oplevelsen uforglemmelig med sin imødekommende og professionelle tilgang.

Maden? Den var intet mindre end fremragende! Hver eneste ret var en oplevelse i sig selv – smagfuldt, velbalanceret og tydeligt lavet med kærlighed og respekt for råvarerne. Fra forret til dessert var alt perfekt tilberedt, og anretningen var lige så smuk som smagen var god. Jeg kunne virkelig mærke, at der var lagt tanke og sjæl i hver eneste bid.

Rani sørgede for, at vi hele tiden følte os godt tilpas – uden at det blev for meget. Han havde det der særlige nærvær og opmærksomhed på detaljen, som man sjældent oplever. Han kendte menukortet ud og ind, kom med gode anbefalinger og sørgede for, at alt forløb gnidningsfrit. Han formåede at få os til at føle os helt særligt velkomne og taget hånd om.

Stemningen i restauranten var hyggelig, varm og afslappet – man kunne virkelig mærke, at her handler det om at give gæsterne en oplevelse ud over det sædvanlige. Og det lykkedes i den grad.

Jeg vil uden tvivl vende tilbage – og jeg vil varmt anbefale denne restaurant til alle, der sætter pris på lækker mad og en service, der går langt ud over det forventede. Tak for en vidunderlig aften – og endnu engang en særlig tak til Rani. Du gjorde en forskel!

De bedste...
