Restaurant Piripipao — Restaurant in l'Hospitalet de Llobregat

Having spent the day walking around in the mountains around Barcelona, we didn’t want to overthink our dinner plans, so walked the short distance from the Hotel SB Plaça Europa into Restaurant Piripipao.

This place isn’t trying to be slick or pretending to be trendy. It knows exactly what it is, and I get the sense they are wanting to be a place locals come to and return to regularly as a local.

It wants to be a favourite for families that serves real food to real people at real prices.

I ordered a beer that was ice cold and drank it before the wait staff had returned to the bar. When they turned and looked back, I caught their eye and ordered a second. It was hot, and that sort of day.

As the tables filled it was mostly with local people who looked at us, wondering what we were doing there. Not in a bad or unfriendly way, but like they were shocked we’d found it.

There were a lot of happy customers here, laughing, clinking glasses and passing plates, encouraging their kids to try things. It was great.

I don’t speak any Spanish, and the staff here didn’t speak much English, but they had an English version of the menu and really did their best to make us feel welcome and at home here.

We loved the food we ordered and cleaned all the plates. I felt like I was eating things that were traditional, authentic and nothing pretentious or over thought.

We went back to our Hotel to sleep, glad we ended our time in Barcelona at...

Restaurant Piripipao in Hospitalet de Llobregat, just outside Barcelona, was a true hidden gem that we were delighted to discover. This small, cozy spot offered an authentic local experience that made our meal incredibly memorable.

The staff were wonderful—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Their service added to the charm of the place and made us feel right at home.

He estado en varias ocasiones en Pipiripao, con mi pareja, con amigos o con familia; siempre perfecto….hasta hoy. Reservamos el día de antes una mesa para ir a comer mi pareja y yo y cuál ha sido nuestra sorpresa que sin habernos avisado al hacer la reserva nos encontramos con que las únicas opciones que nos habían dejado eran dos mesas delante de la puerta, una en la puerta de entrada de la terraza (los camareros y clientes todo el tempo pasando abriendo y cerrando la puerta o la otra en la otra puerta de entrada y puerta del baño (entre las dos puertas)…y todo esto por apurar en exceso el espacio , cosa super incómoda tanto para el cliente como para los camareros( también tengo que decir que somos culpables por haber aceptado y no habernos ido en ese momento). Nos hemos quedado en la puerta de la terraza , además hemos pedido un vino blanco (no venía fresco), han puesto un cubo con hielo pegado a la mesa …con el mínimo espacio que había….una de as veces ha pasado el dueño que se ha tropezado con el ( era evidente que podía pasar). No se si volveremos a ir porque por este tema ya no hemos estado nada cómodos; si no todo lo contrario. Supongo que al dueño no le importa perder algún cliente ( si no miraría mas por la comodidad de sus clientes). Estaba tan lleno de gente que era como cualquier otro bar de barrio , en lugar de un restaurante. Yo lo borro ya de mis favoritos…supongo que al dueño como tiene muchos clientes le es indiferente; eso si …a todos mis conocidos se lo comentaré para que lo...
