Time Out Barcelona

"Their bravas are deservedly among the best if not the best, in the city. They're served with a smooth and creamy 'alioli' that grabs you by the taste buds."

"An excellent gastro tapas bar in the Old City right near Arc De Triomf at the edge of the Born neighborhood. It's a great place for a morning coffee and paper, tapas lunch and delicious dinner."

Sam Zucker

"Excellent Patatas Bravas; the ever-present tapa of crispy fried potatoes, aioli, and tangy red “brava” sauce with just the hint of spice. The potatoes are crisp, hot, and not the least bit oily."

"They have the best tapas in town I swear!!! Pumpkin ravioli or a tuna tartare? Or you maybe prefer the classic tapas like patatas bravas and iberian ham? This is really the place to be for you!"

Ilse de Ridder

"They serve delicious tapas and as they call themselves a ‘gastro bar’ you can expect those classics with a twist."

Danielle Colla

"Elsa y Fred do great more refined tapas, a bit higher end but not snooty or expensive."
