Restaurante Julieta's — Restaurant in Barcelona

On a lovely, sun-kissed afternoon, we ventured to Julieta's for cocktails and lunch. The establishment boasts a charming outdoor terrace with picturesque sea vistas. Seated at a table by the edge of the terrace under stylish striped umbrellas, we were promptly served delightful cocktails by an attentive waiter. I indulged in my favorite, the Porn Star martini, relishing the exotic blend of sweet passion fruit, smooth vanilla vodka, and effervescent champagne. The drink was beautifully presented and truly delectable. My companion savored the Green Dream, a refreshing concoction featuring Seagram's Dill-Infused Gin, Cucumber Syrup, Celery, Bitters, Soda Water, Lemon Juice, and Basil, which she enjoyed immensely.

Unsure of our lunch selection, we began with the Green Ceviche while deciding on our main course. Though I had enjoyed traditional green ceviche in Mexico before, Julieta's interpretation significantly departed from its Mexican roots. Their Green Ceviche featured a creamy avocado spread that masked the essence of a true ceviche, deviating significantly from the classic recipe that highlights fresh seafood cured in lime juice and a vibrant green sauce made from a blend of tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, and other green ingredients, giving the ceviche its distinctive color and flavor. While edible, this modern take on green ceviche was an unexpected and undesirable departure from what we had anticipated, leading to a sense of disappointment. We hope that Julieta returns to the authentic Mexican roots of this dish.

Despite the enchanting ambiance and well-crafted cocktails, our disappointment with the Green Ceviche prompted us to settle the bill and seek lunch elsewhere. Since we only sampled one item from the menu, I refrain from assigning a rating lower than four stars, as I am confident that other dishes at Julieta's may be delightful. However, given our experience, we opted not to...

Came in with high hopes because of the location and menu items, left unsatisfied. We ordered multiple dishes to share. We received the smallest Burrata "salad" Barcelona has ever seen, 3 anchovis on toast (€18), 2 thumb-sized grilled squid with some oil (€16), and a pasta ragout that was too oily and tasted far from home made. We had some more items but none of them really hit the spot.

I ended up paying €50, without alcohol and left hungry. I would not even have written a review if it was just a bland-tasting, overpriced dinner, but the way we were treated by the staff was so extremely unsettling that I had to.

One girl attended us 3x and did not look at us ONCE. They tried to take out dishes we were very clearly still eating. They brought the wrong dish to our table which had to be changed, leading to unpleasant faces and a very weird attitude. The pasta arrived after all the other food was already done, 0 explanation or apology. They brought us a half empty bottle of table water when we ordered a new one.

We also had to order almost everything twice. Not because they were understaffed, but because they don't really seem to care. At all.

If 1 out of the 4 waiters that we asked for the bill would have asked how the food was, I would have happily given my honest feedback and skipped the review altogether. But...
