A reservation is strongly recommended if this very busy gem of a restaurant. We sat at the bar and the pace of service was relentless and the banter with the waiter non-stop. Our food was fantastic - ham and lobster croquettes, fresh cut iberico ham,...tomato bread, garlic shrimp and millet fleur to finish. Together with three glasses of wine, the bill was a very acceptable 81 euros. Great fun!More

We had a lovely dinner here. Every dish was delicious - tapas at the highest level - and the service was impeccable. Wine list was interesting and well-priced. You need to book.

I’ll keep it short - book ahead as mega busy. Service was impeccable and the setting is everything you’d want in an authentic tapas bar. The food is the main event and everything was delicious, highlights the prawn and sweetbread dish, fried artichoke, oxtail and...mash and the tortillitas de camarones. I went with kids and they loved it too. Not the cheapest but worth every euro.More

Dinner on our last night of a long weekend visit. Our friends at Soho House were able to get a reservation on 3 hours notice (minor miracle!) We arrived at 8:00 pm; the tourists were reaching the end of their meals and the locals were...arriving. Not an empty seat anywhere but somehow we were shown to an intimate table in the corner. Our gorgeous 13 year old daughter immediately charmed the waiters and our evening was off to a great start. Tuna tartare, broiled scallops, outstanding paella, these were among the highlights of a delicious meal; we shared everything and drank a lovely bottle of Billecart-Salmon Champagne. Restaurants like this are few and far between; highly recommended.More

Food was 110% delicious! Good service, very attentive. Will definitely come back, unfortunately not a five star because the shrimps were finished for the day (approx at 19.00) but will give it a new chance!

Simply ahhhazing and probably my favorite dinner for our whole that wasn’t Michelin starred. After trying tapas all around Barcelona including the ones in the markets it was cool to try Bar Cañetes version of tapas. I was relieved to see they didn't offer the...typical papas bravas on their menu but had so much more. My faves were the fried eggplant, anchovies, paella, lobster croquettes, blood sausage over fresh peas and green bean salad. The service was super friendly, kinda excellent and they also had a great selection of wine. Next time we visit we will try for a seat at the bar which seemed to be the place to be. Make reservations way in advance.More

The best dinner I had while in Barcelona and just high energy place to witness. I sat at the bar since I didn't have a ressie, and this was perhaps the best "seat" in the house. The off the "Carta" (off menu) selections were exquisite....The server made suggestions for me to try and every single one was delicious.More

Good tapas, busy venue, great service. Burrata, daily paella, and oxtail were delish. Recommend if you are in the area. Book reservations, and if full, call and ask for earlier or later time slots.

Fun place, well executed typical Spanish food, knowledgeable staff, good value, the only negative is the location (somewhat of a dingy street).
