The Good Burger - Piatti

Good starters, now we wait for the rest. The restaurant is located 2 minutes from Catalonia plaza. Great location and prices.

Place was dirtyLine was between 20 and 50 people long the entire time we were thereBeer served in a glass almost too hot to hold.

Carbon copy of Shake Shack in Spain. Even though an employee denies it. It's good. Finding seats can be a challenge and burgers are small. But good. Visualizza piatti

We have stumbled upon this Local Trendy Restaurant offering excellent quality, authentic tapas and good value for money. Highly recommend The Balmes. Perfectly styled restaurant with great friendly customer service. A pleasure to recommend, should be on anyone's Barcelona must see lists.

We visited here during a day trip to Barcelona as part of our week staying on the Costa Brava. Really modern take on traditional tapas, tasty and well presented. We enjoyed 6 dishes and felt that the service was also good. Situated just behind Placa Catalunya; it is worth seeking out for something a little different.

We stumbled on this restaurant on our way to Tibidabo. It took awhile to get waited on while there were only 3 other parties in the place. Once the food arrived (about 40 minute wait) it was good. The tapas were really good and the kids had hamburgers and ate every bite. Then we waited another 15 minutes to order desert (I finally went to the front bar and ordered). The Chocolate cake was GREAT! Least desirable service in all of our trip to Barcelona. Visualizza piatti

Went in for lunch. The staff looked disinterested which maybe is common in Europe/Spain? The tapas were fairly good but the main dishes were really bad. Someone had a chicken burger, it was basically just a chicken patty without bread and it was ice cold. Someone else in my party had the fish which was lukewarm. I had the Spanish sausage and it was undercook. I feel this is unacceptable at any restaurant. The dessert included with the meal was the only highlight, it was some sort of mojito ice cream. Overall I wouldn't recommend this place. Maybe we were unlucky but there's no excuse to undercooked meat.

I've been coming to The Balmes at least once a month to hold an informal event. The staff is very helpful and accommodating and the location is very convenient by a myriad of combinations of bus, metro and commuter rail. The daily lunch menu st 12€ is a delight and elegantly served on thin rectangular slate trays. Today I tried a combination of salmorejo (a cold tomato soup, similar to the more well-known gazpacho), pork slices with a creamy mustard sauce and dessert. The accompanying vegetables I elected were elegantly served and not fried! The wait staff are attentive and open to queries, however elementary they may appear to be, and clearly like to work in this restaurant!

We stumbled upon this place after a long day of hop on and hop off. We sat down after we saw their interesting menu, the restaurant wasn 't at all busy except the large table full with young intoxicated German travellers. We ordered a few tapas dishes and seafood Paella for 3 people it was good but service is lacking for €76.50 bills we had spent. The waiter and the girl behind the bar were too focussed on the large table, what a let down !!!!!!!! The noise coming from large table gets escalated from shouting, broken beer bottles, clapping, you name it. Interestingly none of the staff were bothered to say something to them considering other patrons were trying to enjoy their time too. In fac... Visualizza piatti
