Review by dragon8910 of Mikel Etxea 2

Possibly worst dining experience ever. Big board advertising tapas outside but when we got in were told not serving those. We could have a small selection of tapas as a starter if we wanted. Main courses arrived before our tapas starter. We pointed out the error and were tutted at! So the tapas came which had been sat waiting on the bar for 15 mins. The albondigas smelt foul and were lukewarm on the outside but cold in the middle, the fish stew was bland and also lukewarm, chicken thighs ok and a bowl of olives. 25 euros!!

The best: 
Leaving
The worst: 
Arriving

Review by phoenician of cinc sentits

Cinc sentits is a tasting menu based restaurant that is a little pricey but dishes like foie gras that sits on coco pastry topped with caramelized sugar make it all worth it.

The best: 
try the smaller tasting menu for 46 eu a person
The worst: 
expenive but worth it

Review by phoenician of bestiari

Ive lived in barcelona for a little over a month and it can be difficult to find a restaurant that isnt tapas for dinner. Bestiari does a great job of filling that role ive eaten there twice once was braised lamb with rosemary polenta and pesto ( my favorite) and the next was a chicken tournaedo(chicken pounded flat and rolled) stuffed with mozz and zuchini, also amazing this is a must try if in BCN.

The best: 
10,90 Euro flat price for all the entrees!
The worst: 
could use a little bigger wine list.

Review by dck of Thai Lounge

Nice Atmosphere, if snooty. I asked the mincing maitre for a drink when I sat down and waited an interminably parched 10mins or so before I finally wet my whistle- torture!

The best: 
Decor and chilled, exotic atmosphere.
The worst: 
The food......oh and the snootiness and slightly inflated prices.

Review by Carme of Shojiro

I don't get why you would want to have 3 courses plus desserts for dinner. They were all wonderful, including foie with caramelized cherry, sea urchin risotto, red mullets with black fideuá on the side... And gorgeous chocolate fondant with strawberry sherbet before the petit-fours.

Everything was delicious separately, but a bit too much as a whole. That ruins the experience for me, especially in the evening. I have the same problem with Santi Santamaria, both at Can Fabes (Sant Celoni) and at Evo (Hesperia Tower calling mother ship). Remind me to tell you about them some other time.

Carme's review was:

No spring rolls and chicken broccoli here: this is a very fine Chinese restaurant which massive flocks of Chinese and Japanese tourists seem to know very well. In fact, that was what caught our attention so we decided to give it a try.

The menu can be confusing, with all these Chinese, Japanese and Spanish fusion going on, so we decided to be bold and order whatever sounded good. Jellyfish was surprisingly tasty (with soysauce, that is), and clams "al ajillo" were just spectacular, just like the crispy sea bass. But the best of all, hands down, was the duck. Generous portions, too.

The best: 
The thoughtful waiters who suggested a side order of rice to mix with that garlic sauce!
The worst: 
A slightly tacky atmosphere.

Review by mtjbuckley of The Fastnet

The food served in this establishment is very hearty and reasonably priced. It is a great place for people who want a change from spanish cuisine(i say this as someone who is a great admirer of spanish food).
