Restaurant Terra Mía — Restaurant in Barcelona

Depending on what you order, the food can be extraordinarily plain.

We tried the steak and the duck breast and both cuts of meat were both tough and rather bland. While the plating looks gorgeous, the food was pretty mediocre. The menu described the duck being seasoned or topped with truffle but there was no evidence of it. The majority of the steak was silver skin and essentially impossible to eat. We asked for a sharper knife, and the waiters brought a dull steak knife for us, which still wasn’t very helpful in cutting the meat. The artichoke that came with both dishes looked so caramelized and crunchy, but is totally inedible as it’s so hard and tough.

The tapas and sides were decent, we enjoyed the croquetas and calamari, but the bread we ordered was extremely hard and tacky, not to mention very cold.

Most of the pasta and seafood dishes looked very good however, we just didn’t have the stomach space to try them as we were...

If you're not a young, attractive female, make sure you have a reservation before going here.

We were in a queue with 2 couples ahead of us - none of us had made a reservation. The first couple was 2 guys who were told they would have to wait an hour or more to get seated. The second couple was 2 attractive ladies- they were told they would get a table in 5 minutes. Then there was us - we're a married couple in our sixties. We were told that there was no space and we could wait around for an hour or more, or we could make a reservation for a couple of hours later .....

They were not very nice to either the first couple of guys nor to us!

So as I noted before, if you're not attractive females, and you really want to try this place, make a reservation ahead of time; otherwise you can do what we did, which was to go to El Jardi de Can Toda, which was fine for us - I posted a good...

After being turned away from Park Guell for not buying ticket’s early enough, we found our way around the block to this little gem. And I do mean gem. This place was like a hidden jewel in the middle of residential area. The food was all delicious. The mussels were gobbled up mainly by my eight year old. The burrata salad surprised us with an enormous piece of soft creamy burrata for the value. I ordered the Pork dish with peppers and potatoes, nothing short of amazing pork, excellently seasoned, cooked to perfection; it was great. My wife ordered the seafood risotto, and it turned out better than the paella we had the night before. Even my boys had, the pasta bolognese, and it was nothing short of fantastic. I ended up finishing that off after my 8 year old couldn’t finish it all.

I highly recommend this place for anyone in the area of Park Guell. It was a great value...
