Mauri — Restaurant in Barcelona

Mauri is one of Barcelona’s true gems – a café that combines rich tradition with an unforgettable culinary experience. Established decades ago, this spot has become a beloved landmark, known for its dedication to preserving time-honored methods while offering something fresh and exciting. Located in the heart of the city, it’s perfectly nestled in one of Barcelona’s charming neighborhoods, making it the ideal stop whether you’re exploring nearby sights or just strolling through the vibrant streets.

The Kakao-covered almonds are an absolute standout. Made in the traditional way, they’re a flawless blend of crunchy almonds and smooth, rich cocoa – a treat you won’t be able to resist (trust me, I couldn’t). Then there’s their avocado and caramelized onion sandwich – not only does it look amazing (check out the photos!), but every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of sandwich that feels almost too good to be true, yet it’s real and right here waiting for you.

Let’s talk coffee. I’ve had coffee all over the world, but the coffee here? Next level. Perfectly brewed, with flavors so rich and smooth it feels like an art form. Pair that with the café’s commitment to using only the finest ingredients, and I’m still amazed at how reasonably priced everything is. High-quality food, incredible drinks, and prices that don’t break the bank – what’s not to love?

The staff are just as impressive as the menu. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to make recommendations. Their warm and welcoming attitude makes the experience even better, as if you’re part of the family.

Mauri is more than just a café – it’s a slice of Barcelona’s history, wrapped in modern charm and flavor. This is the kind of place you’ll want to share with everyone you know, so tell your friends, bring your family, and make it a part of your Barcelona adventure. Don’t forget to check out the photos I’ve uploaded, and be ready to fall in love with this incredible spot!

Mauri isn’t just a stop for coffee and snacks – it’s the start of an amazing day...

Avoid this place like the plague. We had the worst service ever. The waiter had no patience, kept hurrying us to complete our order. After awhile, he just walked away and asked another waiter to place our order. Well, the second waiter was no better. After placing our order, he proceeded to ask for drinks. When he came back with the bottled water, he rudely placed the bottle with 1 cup for a party of 4 and walked away. Then the appetizer arrived and he placed it on the table with no plates. After asking for the plates and utensils for my daughter, he exclaimed in displeasure, “Is that it!” To add insult to injury, when the main course arrived, he took my son’s plate away and placed the panned paella in front of him and uttered, “single course meal for one person (when it was big enough to feed a party of 4).” Absolutely, the worst service we’ve received and the food was awful: shrimp tasted gritty and the rice in the paella was...

I can only confirm it. I have never encountered such an unfriendly salesperson before. She clearly thinks she’s better than others. I am a tourist and wanted to bring a gift back to Switzerland. First, I asked if she spoke English, as I don’t speak Spanish. She just laughed at me and said no. Then she understood that I wanted a mix of pastries. I told her three pieces of each kind, but she only put one of each. She filled the bag with whatever she chose herself. She didn’t even ask me about the size of the bag, nor did I know they had different sizes. I told her „mucho más, tres,“. Then she snapped at me, saying the bag was now dirty and that she had to get a new (larger) one. Yes, you read that right — this actually happened. It gets even better: I actually wanted to buy much more, but after this incident, I didn’t want to overwhelm her any further. I paid and left. Unfortunately, this is not a place for tourists....
