Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Definitely make a reservation as this place gets crowded. Had the octopus ceviche and it was just ok. The Mr. Had the plate of the day which was pasta with bolognese sauce he claimed it was just alright. The portions here are small. The sangria...#1 was the best in our opinion. Don’t go for glasses just get a bottle. You have to try the carrot cake it’s the best thing we ate here! Overall the service made the meal for us the waitress was very accommodating and attentive. The food was a bit underwhelming.More

We were recommended this restaurant from a friend when we told them we were visiting Barcelona for a long weekend. When we arrived the restaurant was busy but they managed to fit my partner and I in, which we were extremely happy about. My partner...is a little more cultured than myself in the food department and if I'm honest I was a little unsure if I would like it or not but I decided to give it a try. We both ordered the mini beef burger which was excellent along with multiple different tapas dishes, all of them were bursting with flavour. We had a bottle of their number 1 sangria and it was terrific, I couldn't get enough. We just kept ordering more to try and every dish that came did not disappoint. The icing on the cake for us was the beef carpacio, it was to die for and melted in your mouth. I genuinely cannot put into words just how good this restaurant is and the service with a smile and friendliness was also fantastic. If I could rate it higher than 5 I would and I would say that was potentially the best meal we have ever had. Thank you, we will be back one day. 🍷More

This was a really pleasant experience. It was cosy and the food was very good. The Sangria was tasty but their tapas was the highlight. Friendly service.

My wife spent a few days in Barcelona before our Mediterranean cruise and dined here at recommendation from our concierge at the H10 Madison. We didn't have a reservation but they were able to work us in for a table in their backroom. We had...a number of tapas plates and all of them were good.More

We had a great birthday lunch here. The place is very cozy, but not big so make a reservation to be sure you get a table. Tapas to share came in rather big servings so we ordered too much. Everything was however so good that...we managed to finish it. Famous for their sangria which comes in different varieties. Very happy to find that you could get some of the sangrias at the airport to nring home in the beautiful bottles. Staff was all very nice and friendly. Maybe hou find tapas that are better, but the whole experience is very very nice here. Will be back.More

We stumbled across Casa Lolea quite by accident for our first lunch, and were absolutely delighted with the quality and flavours of the food. I have to say I also really loved the different sangria types available - so good I brought back two bottles...of the number 3 (white sangria) as it was so delicious. When deciding on our last lunch for this trip to Barcelona, we just had to go back. We had to wait for a table this time (although you can book ahead) and we took longer there to enjoy more of the dishes. Everything was so fresh and tasty - definitely the best meal of the holiday. Can't recommend it highly enough and the lovely staff. Thank you so much!More

In a city full of great restaurants you probably can’t go wrong foodwise anywhere you eat. But this was an absolute gem. The staff was lovely, the drinks (imagine having your own line of sangria) were great and the food was delicious

Must make reservations well in advance or like me always doing take out. Hard place to find but worth the effort. Average wait time for take out is 15-20 minutes and the food is always great.

This was a really fun first-night dinner in Barcelona. We had made a reservation, but got mixed up about the timing - they were still able to squeeze us in, and we made the most of our abbreviated dinner slot. Delicious tapas, a cute selection...of different sangrias, a lively and charming atmosphere, sweet and attentive servers.More

Great Spanish modern food coupled with one of the best sangria in Barcelona. A refreshing approach of DIY coca bread with garlic and tomatoes.
