When in Barcelona this October, we were fortunate to secure a last minute reservation at this lively, fun, overwhelming restaurant for a family dinner celebration. If you are into the ambiance of a restaurant as well as the food quality, this is right up your alley. Read about the history of this restaurant and you will find that it is... more

Loved the atmosphere and history of Els Quatre Gats in Barcelona. Amazing. The food and the service tho' were not so good. Food was not "fresh" . . . appeared to have been prepared earlier and then heated up. Service was quite odd at one point they rushed us for our order and then forgot about us at others. I... more

We were a party of 8, booked in by email for 10pm on 6th November 2009. Previously visited 4 years ago and had a fabulous evening, so decided to book again, even though we had read differing reviews, we thought it would still be worth it. What a mistake! Service was really slow with elderly sullen waiters; main courses brought... more

An unofficial guide to Barcelona's restaurants lists it on top of their 'To avoid list'. I don't think it deserves it. The local is fun. The decor is authentic, the story of the establishment is fascinating, the menu is the one designed originally by young Picasso. Yet it IS a tourist trap: the food might as well be sold by... more

Of course I only went to this restaurant because I thought Javier Bardem might be there ( this is the restaurant featured in the movie Vicky, Christina, Barcelona).

The restaurant is located in a nice neighborhood in the old city. The appetizers were good. Dinner service was extremely slow and when the dinner arrived it was actually frozen and unedible. No adjustment was made to the bill despite my request. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone that I consider a friend more

Highly recommend you spend some time in the restaurant which is a famous landmark in Barcelona. Great ambience inside and lots to look at and soak up. Start with a glass of cava or a beer and just kick back and watch the tourists walk by agog! Helen more

Els Quatre Gats is a great room with a fun atmosphere. Our food was delicious, the service was very good and the ambiance great. Although, I had a hard time envisioning Picasso in the restaurant as it exists today, it kind of reminded me of a smaller version of the Harmonia Gardens in the show "Hello Dolly." particularly given the... more

Great food and Service, would point out that there's not many options for vegetarians, but the one dish there was is amazing! Does wow you when you get through to the dining area as unexpected! live music makes it very romantic. The staff are friendly and on hand, very willing to help. Would definitely recommend it to anybody going to... more
