“ I had a wonderful dinner with my family here. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Kelly, our server, was friendly, attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. We started with grilled peppers and steamed mussels—both were full of flavor. For the main course, we had paella, which was perfectly cooked with rich, authentic flavors. To accompany our meal, we enjoyed a refreshing pitcher of sangria, which complemented the dishes beautifully. Everything we ordered was delicious, and the service was excellent. It was a fantastic dining experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona! ”
“ Best restaurant in Barcelona!! We were served by Mohamed(hope I typed his name right),he is a really nice guy!! They also have the best olives!! ”
“ I visited Ancora Boqueria’s stand at Mercado de la Boqueria, we tried the prawns and stuffed mussels, and both were really good. The prawns were torched and topped with a green sauce and olive oil, and the muscles were cooked and stuffed with rice with some lemon juice, both delicious! The guys at the stand were also really friendly, definitely worth stopping by if you’re at the market. ”
