Mussol Arenas — Restaurant in Barcelona

Brought the whole family here to celebrate our reunion so it was a special occasion. Waiters were ok but not engaging. We're just people who are just there - very transactional. But that was not important because we came for the food. Drinks came in promptly. After 30 minutes, my brother in-law and my sister in-law received their fish order. We all thought our meat orders are on the way so they waited. We're all supposed to eat together. After 15 minutes, my sister's grilled vegetables came. Grilled squash was just warmed and raw, kale was a whole leaf with burnt spots, a curious slice of beetroot tasted boiled not grilled and same with the bock choi. After 20 minutes, partner's grilled chicken arrived. One side charred but it was cooked and it's chicken-no problem. Five minutes later, my burger arrived. I've never seen anything unappetising. Burnt stiff, with one side lighter in colour so it was turned on that side. It was on top of a piece of burnt toasted baguette nothing else. No other piece of bread on top. Basically a burnt meat on a burnt bread. A clay cup of lettuce was included- no dressing. A smaller clay cup holds a melted cheese probably meant for dressing or spread. There was a few scattering of irregularly cut chips or french fries (I cannot decide because they were thin but cut lengthwise). They were so few they're like an afterthought. I've never complained about food but that plate went back to the kitchen. 10 minutes more and my brother's, my nephew's and my niece's beafsteaks arrived. All cut very thin and rubbery. For me, another burger with the similar background arrived but this time it almost moooed at me. All the red-pink juice made a soggy bed of the piece of baguette. I didn't want to make another fuss so I just ate the browned parts. We all soldiered on. When we were almost finished, my sister's grilled chicken leg finally arrived. My brother in-law had to say something though and we were given a discount. We couldn't wait to leave. We were speculating how disastrous that was. We hoped their chef was on vacation and there was just an apprentice or someone similar on his...

To begin I'm fuming..... This place is a dump. First of all, try to get past the "17" menus they provide of different options......and get confused. Ordered drinks, wine came first, my wife ordered a Kir Royal, which came 10 minutes later. Ordered a prize fixe menu......don't do it waste of money. Save yourself. If you're reading this walk out of the restaurant now. The waiter dropped off two dishes that weren't ours, wait staff is dizzy. They operate like robots with machines to place orders not their brains. We were given bread, but they were unsure whether we were suppose to get it. Then we had some grilled zucchini which looked like it was made when the Romans inhabited Barcelona. Keeping with the tradition of ancient Barcelona it came cold. It was suppose to be grilled.....doesn't that mean hot??? Main course came, my wife had sausage which looked like a dump plate, however, as the waitress said, look, it's smiling at you! That was the first time sausage/something that looked like feces smiled at me. I had the veal and fries, which may had been around since the previous day....The waitress asked if we enjoyed everything, to which I told her it was the "worst food in Barcelona." I tend to be pretty cool at restaurants, but she wanted to really know how it was.....so I told her exactly how I felt. This was an embarrassment. She asked us if we wanted dessert which was included, we said know. However it was included in our prix fixes. No compensation for our terrible meal. They were happy to charge us full price. They manager was too busy to see us. Don't go. It terrible. I hope the review closes the restaurant, it should be burnt to the ground. Hope this was informative enough for those who read reviews. If the restaurant reads this, please send me €63.00. On the positive side, the Garlic Sauce and the Kir Royale were good. Not bad for a restaurant who hoses tourists for $100s of dollars. PS. If your wondering Mussol. I've broadcasted this message on social media so tourists aren't trapped like my wife and I were tonight. This...

DON'T GO HERE ! My boyfriend and I decided to eat here after a day visiting the city. We wanted to eat local and at first sight, this restaurant seemed correct. My boyfriend ordered the menu (scramble eggs, chicken and the creme brulee) and for me the meatballs. After 45min of waiting, the waiter brought us a "coca bread" with the menu starter saying that it was included in the menu, we noticed later that this was a LIE ! We really don't understand how this kind of behaviour can be accepted among restaurant's employees.

Then the main dishes, the chicken was totally burn on top, almost raw in the inside. The meatballs are exactly the same that you can eat at IKEA.

Finally, after waiting 20min to get the dessert menu and to order.. they brought us the creme brulee that tasted awful.

We really advise you to not go here, especially if you are foreigners. Seeing the comments below, this is not the first time this restaurant act like this.. maybe it's just...
