     Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Fuimos buscando un sitio de menu del dia y lo encontramos. Una calidad y una atención de 10. Todo lo que comimos estaba bueno y sabroso. Queríamos un sitio que nos alejase de lo típico que le ofrecen a los turistas y lo encontramos

Cuando el centro de la ciudad se ha llenado ya de sitios de comida rapida o comida prefabricada que venden como cocina española falsa, el restaurante La Rioja es un oasis de comida española de verdad que hay que mantener para que sitios como este no desaparezcan!

Wir waren als Touristen vor Ort und waren sofort begeistert als wir sahen wie voll der Laden mit einheimischen war - dies war definitiv ein gutes Zeichen und wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich zu uns und sprach uns Empfehlungen aus. Das Ambiente ist gemütlich. Das Essen war sehr schnell am Tisch. Absolute Empfehlung sind die Tapas für Zwei. Einiges an kleinen Speisen, welche zügig hintereinander serviert werden. Gerne wieder.

Cozy and characteristic restaurant a few steps from Placa Catalunya, very courteous and friendly staff. Good variety of recipes on the menu. Among the various places we tried, it was certainly the best in terms of quality/price ratio. Recommended.

Oh my, this place was real Catalan. We popped in here for our last lunch before heading to the airport - it was full of locals, we were the only foreigners! A foodies paradise - main menu, set menu and a daily special - not your usual standard same old menu offered elsewhere. My kids were hesitant but we leapt in and tried a few different dishes, not really knowing what to expect! It was all superb! I wish we had tried it earlier during our stay.

Very well prepared market cuisine which means we had an excellent meal. We really enjoyed it and felt at home thanks to Luisa, Carlos and their entire team. Very good location next to Portal de l'Angel and the Cathedral.

I recommend eating at this restaurant. We were a group of 13 people and everything was delicious and homemade. We had a menu on a Saturday and the service was impeccable. Our thanks also to Julio, a very professional and friendly waiter, along with the entire team. We will return and recommend to friends. All the best

     Verificada LA RIOJA.... BARCELONA YA!
The President of the Cercle des Epicureans writes: Here we are in Barrio Gotic, an extremely busy place just a stone's throw from the ramblas. The restaurant is quite hidden and the frontage doesn’t look much, but inside… Excellent family cooking, homemade with fresh and tasty ingredients. The service was excellent and friendly A very good value for money. 2 menus 2 mineral waters 2 coffees Addition = 45€ No tourist traps, in fact there are only Spanish people in this restaurant, which is a good point! Quality home cooking.
