Ocaña Apotheke

Great for the Barcelona City buzz. Food was fairly good and once we had ordered it came quite quickly but service was a little slow as it’s so busy. The square looks beautiful at night with twinkling lights. Sadly we were too tired to make it into the club but I expect it would have been good fun. Loved our welcome!

Had our evening tapas and a few bottles of wine here. The food is decent but the history of this place in relation to the origins of the anti Franco movement is pretty cool. Late night bar at the basement is also lively on weekends. Overall the ambience from early evening (live band) to the basement later at night was fun.

I couldn’t wait to visit this place, but unfortunately it ended up being quite disappointing. The atmosphere is definitely there it’s a really charming spot and that has to be acknowledged. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. When ordering our food, we also ordered drinks, which took almost 30 minutes to arrive. During that time, we asked one member of the staff about them, but there was no reaction. Only another waitress eventually brought our drinks. We ordered a burger and a steak with pepper sauce. The food was simply okay. My steak arrived cold, and considering the price of €26, the portion was very small only 4–5 pieces of meat. Overall, I’m disappointed and I truly expected much more, especially given the reputation of the place. Although the venue itself is visually very nice.

We really loved this place! We were in the bar downstairs and the atmosphere was top - great vibes and a super cool interior. It was such a nice surprise after the elegant restaurant upstairs, totally different mood but equally amazing. We’ll definitely be back to try the restaurant menu as well, and the bar has already become one of our favorite spots in the city. Highly recommended!

Excellent arroces and tapas (especially compared to the ones we had the previous evening), on a nice terrace on Plaça Reial. Super nice service from Luisina and the team!
