Mirablau — Restaurant in Barcelona

This restaurant has a perfect location, up in the hills overlooking the whole Barcelona area. It is dog friendly and we were allowed to take our hound down to the outside terrace with us. The restaurant doesn't look very big from outside but is effectively on three levels which are like terraces on the hillside. The uppermost floor is at street level with windows along one side looking out over Barcelona, the next is another indoor area accessed down stairs from the top floor. It has a bar and a few indoor tables, again with extensive windows looking over the city. The final area is down a few more steps and is an outdoor terrace with some shade. The views from here are equally impressive. On bright or sunny days, bring a shirt or blouse in case you cannot get a table in the shade - it would be easy to get sunburnt here as the breezes keep you cool even on a hot day. The menu is accessed using the 2D code displayed on the table. If features a very extensive list of tapas. We ordered drinks that arrived promptly. Our waitress was helpful and smiley (even behind her mask) and we ordered crocquets, omelette, hummus with flat bread, tomato and oil flat bread and a vegetable quinoa and vegetable salad. The hummus was fabulous and came with plenty of warm pitta. The quinoa salad was delicious and contained carrot, courgette, baby sweetcorn and tiny tomatoes, but the star ingredient was the sprouted seeds which added a lovely texture. All of the areas in the restaurant were sparkly and clean. The only potential downside is finding somewhere to park as the three (?) restaurants here are polar because of the views and parking is limited. Still worth driving up, getting your driver to drop you off and then walk back from wherever they have left the vehicle. We ended up parking a long way up the road beyond the restaurant, but the walk was well worth it. It's going to be difficult to try somewhere different next time we're in the area as we won't want to pick somewhere that's...

Very nice place, wonderful view, but I had a really bad experience. Although some of the waiters were very nice and friendly, we were informed in a very rude way that we could not be seated in our table because we were not having full dinner, just ordering some drinks and tapas, and we had to move to another table. The restaurant was not even full. I understand that this may be their policy, but first of all (i) I was not informed about this, not even when I arrived and the manager offered me to choose in which table I wanted to seat, upstairs or in the terrace downstairs. He could have told me at that moment, (ii) second, there are ways and ways to provide such information to yours clients, and the way we were informed about this when we were already in our seats drinking and eating tapas was definitely not pleasant and does not match the level of the place and the way other waiters were treating us with such kindness. I was with 2 friends visiting from Brazil and 1 friend from England and all of them felt really uncomfortable and I was embarrassed since I was the one proposing to take them there because I thought they would have a good time.Anyway, the whole experience could have been a very nice and memorable one, but in the end we ended up with a bad memory...

Last week we arrived in an Uber around 12.30am, excited to have a drink with a look across Barcelona having gotten dressed for this event as it was our last night in Barcelona.

The bouncers gave us one look and said the dress code is formal so we couldn't come in because of the type of people that come on Fridays and Saturdays... Nowhere does it say on this Google maps page that Fridays and Saturdays are special nights so you need to dress up. We weren't even informal, both us girls were wearing dresses and one of our male friends was wearing a tight t-shirt (not tank or anything like that), no ripped jeans or anything like that. They made a comment towards my friends who are brown and gay. I think they said "maricon"?

Please make it clear that there is a dress code on Google maps because that's the way most tourists decide where to go. I added a screenshot of what the description says.

They definitely get a power trip from rejecting people. What a waste with the Uber as I prefer travelling in public transport to leave a smaller carbon footprint but I was...
