Food is good, but most importantly after eating here twice, I did not get sick. Servers were knowledgeable and awesome. I had several tapas and paella- delicious. Came with some friends with a dairy allergy and they accommodated them as well!

Meh. Very fancy (if that’s what you’re looking for). I was excited to check it out. Been to Barcelona city a few times and had great food experiences.

No one offered to write on my menu, nor give good gluten free suggestions. Menu isn’t easy to navigate unless you have deep familiarity with Spanish special and regional foods. I couldn’t google as much as I wanted to having social time with a group of friends.

I *extracted* gf info from our busy server, my group ordered a couple of meh boards and a tapa. We arrived intentionally during happy hour but were not given that menu to look at. Bread crumbs do fly everywhere. It’s dark inside once it’s evening - to the point where we couldn’t easily see our food or possible cross contact, having both gf and bread on a big table. I think I made it through okay, didn’t eat as much as I wanted.

Wine was great! Loved the small pour option. Server seemed too busy to talk about the wine but it was clear they knew their stuff. There were empty tables around us though. I don’t mind spending money on good food. Overall it was weird. I think you could make it much safer if you visit with folks who don’t care about having bread.

Wonderful dining experience. The staff is well educated and asks the right questions when it comes to allergy levels. They accommodated as needed and were very kind and happy to do so.

Barcelona was amazing . There were so many GF options, and things that could be modified. If you’re DF, there were also many options for that as well. Our server wrote directly on the menu to show what was off limits and what could be modified. She even brought us a different menu item she knew was good/safe when the one we wanted was sold out. Overall great experience and would go back.

Barcelona was awesome. There were so many GF options, and things that could be modified. If you’re DF, there were also many options for that as well. Our server (Taylor) was so knowledgeable, helpful, and thoughtful. She wrote on the menu to show what was off limits and what could be modified. She even brought us a different menu item she knew was good/safe when the one we wanted was sold out. And brought free ice cream when the rest of our party got a non GF dessert! Overall, great experience and would go back.

Server was very knowledgeable about GF offerings and marked up the menu so I would know what was safe. We had the aperitivo board and they cooked the potatoes for the papas bravos separately to avoid cross-contamination. Very tasty despite losing the delicious crisp of a fried potato. The board was huge and delicious. The server asked if they could bring out bread for my partner or if that would be an issue for me to be at the same table with bread. I appreciated the awareness and realized why—the bread has a nice crust to it so when my partner ate it, pieces of the crust flew onto my plate! I also tried to scallops a la plancha (tasty but not my style of cooking for scallops, turned out a bit dry) and the burrata (delicious). I did not get sick and look forward to going back.

I’ve eaten here a few times - the servers are very helpful with food restrictions and are good about checking with the kitchen when they aren’t sure. It’s tasty food and I haven’t gotten sick so far.

Went for brunch. No dedicated gf menu but staff was very knowledgeable and asked for my comfort level with cross confirmation etc. they then modified my menu for safe options and there were quite a few. Really great food and did not get sick. They did mention that their brunch menu is more gluten heavy than other menus so may have even more options for lunch and dinner.

Amazing experience! The hostess handed me a gluten free marked menu before we even sat down. And they have a dedicated gluten free fryer!!!! Update - also went for brunch and had the same experience! They definitely take allergies seriously here.

I told them I was GF and DF, and they marked my menu with what I could order… and it was about 75% of it!! The patatas bravas was soooo delicious, and their meat platter was great for a whole table to share. This is definitely a small plates/everyone share kind of place. A little expensive, but I think well worth it for a group dinner.
