Ayer noche hicimos una cena con compañeros de trabajo de la ONCE y pedimos el menú de tapas, me pareció espectacular la comida y nos pusieron una sala que estuvimos súper a gusto😍 la atención y el servicio maravilloso y el lugar muy acogedor. Seguro que repito!!! Y si es con la misma compañía mejor!!! Felicidades por vuestro trabajo.

What a wonderful night for us. We are a group of 6 visiting Barcelona and this place was the perfect place for our group. Excellent food but at a reasonable price. Amazing wait staff that made our night memorable. I recommend to any and all.

Wow! Celebrating our honeymoon with my wife, and we knew we wanted to go a little off the main streets to find a good local spot for dinner. El Pintor did not disappoint. The service and the food was incredible. The entire experience was pristine. The staff was so friendly and gave the best recommendations. A special shout out to Sisco for his friendliness and charm. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

An unforgettable experience — 100 out of 100! The owners were incredibly kind and surprised us with a personal tasting — what a wonderful and unexpected treat! Every bite was amazing, and we felt truly spoiled and cared for. Such warm hospitality and genuine attention made this visit unforgettable. Thank you so much for this beautiful experience!

Perfect spot in the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter! An ideal place to stop for a delicious and luxurious lunch while exploring the charming narrow streets of the Gothic Quarter. The food is absolutely perfect — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented! The staff were wonderful — friendly, smiling, attentive, and truly professional. A special place that makes you feel warmly welcomed and well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Very nice traditional catalan restaurant with male waiters with long aprons who were very helpful. I had a beef stew (melosa de ternera) which was a large piece of slowly cooked succulent meat on potato puree with stew sauce. Prices were reasonable 23€ for the beef. I had a brandy after and it was a generous serving😊. They also brought out a complementary liquor for us too. Atmosphere was really nice. Would recommend for a romantic meal.

Delicious food with great service! The servers were very kind and friendly. Restaurant is very elegant. Tucked in a cozy area of the Gothic Quarter. Would visit again if we could!

This was our favorite place we have eaten since our vacation started (France/Spain). We had the lamb shoulder and the tataki steak, both were fantastic but it was genuinely the best lamb I have ever had in my life, absolutely would recommend and I normally don't like lamb very much. Also a bottle of house wine is only 20 euros, very reasonable compared to many places. This place deserves more stars, very reasonably priced for the quality you get.

We didn't have a reservation, but were seated very quickly. We aren't fluent in Spanish or Catalan, and the wait staff weren't proficient in English, but they were incredibly patient with us! Our waiter was so kind and cracked a few jokes with us. The atmosphere was wonderful and the food delightful. We ordered pan con tomate, octopus, and catalan spinach as starters--all delicious. The octopus was charred perfectly and very tender! For mains we got the boar and lamb. The lamb was perfection--no notes. The only issue was that the boar was dry, but that might just be a boar issue and not an El Pintor issue. A wonderful experience and we would recommend to anyone!

Everything was delicious and plentiful. The paella was 💯. As a family of 4, we were stuffed! Staff were swift and friendly. Cozy atmosphere.

It was a fantastic night! Amazing Tapas, Paella & Sangria - To top it all off the staff were fantastic, they were very friendly and helpful. The place is quiet and has a rustic look with a cosy feel. Highly recommend to visit.

Mansi Suresh

Absolutely amazing! Food is ridiculous, VERY large portion sizes. The lunch pre fixe is 15 bucks, and SO SO GOOD! I had the Snails, Duck and Crema with their suggestion of white wine. The sr ice was friendly, but not hovering, efficient, and they were SO nice. I know NO Spanish, and yet they made me feel very comfortable, and gave me extra olives! Even though I showed up like 20 minutes before closing.

Beautiful rustic restaurant in the Call. The food is a mix of classic Spanish and Catalan dishes with a touch of country gourmet. The lunch menu offers a wide variety of selection and has a great quality to price ratio. The customer service is pleasant and efficient. I will definitely be back.

Markus Schwarz

Awesome catalan authentic restaurant. After visiting Barcelona several years ago, my wife remembered this little restaurant and that she at that time didn’t make it to eat there. So we did it this time and were not disappointed. It’s best to make a reservation, since every time we passed by, the house was full. So we reserved a table for two and enjoyed very tasty carpaccio (we had veal and salmon, the latter being the better, the former a bit too thick and served frozen), fish (the cod with honey and the cod with ratatouille, both of them were awesome, and finally a chocolate cake with chocolate cream covered in chocolate (yes, triple chocolate, so to say). Based on the recommendation a fantastic spanish red wine. The staff was fantastic, relaxed and attentive, humorous and friendly at all times. Not only did we eat very good, we also felt very comfortable and in good hands. Thanks for a great experience.

Good food and romantic atmosphere, this restaurant is in the hearth of Gotic Neighborhood. We tasted paella of fish, the best one that I have eaten in my life.

Lo mejor del restaurante es el camarero, un señor al que le queda muy poco para jubilarse y es encantador. Muy paciente y amable. Estábamos en el salón de arriba, comimos bien. El menú diario está bastante bien, pero siendo atendidos por gente así mejora mucho la experiencia. Todo un profesional.

Un sitio con encanto. El ambiente y la iluminación íntimo. Te recuerda a una masía antigua donde ya vas predispuesta a encontrarte cocina casera. Buena relación calidad precio y de sabor la comida excelente.

Muy buena atención y muy buena comida. Como única pega, pedimos una tortilla y vino un poco quemada. Deberían haberla vuelto a hacer en vez de traerla así. Quitando eso, todo lo demás estaba rico y a buen precio.

Ambiente magnifico. Comida de buena calidad. Servicio optimo. Hize menú calçot pero vovleré seguramente para probar la carta.

Food was okay, the starters were good but my paella had no shrimps and two mussels. Only one was open. It was just “good”. But the atmosphere was lovely and the staff were friendly.

I wanted to try out this restaurant after seeing how beautiful the place was from outside. We went around 9pm on a Saturday and we were seated despite not having any reservation. We were seated on the 2nd floor which was absolutely beautiful 💖 the restaurant was definitely stunning. Food wise, it was alright. We had the fritters which tasted wonderful and the Paella which was just ok. Word of warning: prepare to wait! If you order the Paella like us, you'd have to wait about 20-30 minutes for it to be prepared. Although serving wise, one Paella was already enough for the two of us. It was also hefty with ingredients and not just filled with rice so despite it's price, it was a decent Paella. I'm curious to try the other dishes when i do manage to come back 💖

La comida estaba buena, la calçotada bien, la carne ok! Tampoco nada del otro mundo y cara. El local es chulo. Pero tuvimos una mala experiencia ya que le sirvieron salsa de calçots con gluten a mi amiga que había avisado repetidas veces que era celíaca. Y cuando se dio cuenta, llamamos a la encargada que ni siquiera vino a la mesa por "no montar un escándalo".

Fuimos el pasado sábado 28 de febrero un grupo de 8 personas, 4 adultos y 4 niños. La reserva era a las 14h. El menú calçots fue escaso. Calçots pequeños y casi sin carne que comer (y bastante pasada) y la parrillada muy muy poca comida para los 6 menús que pedimos. Lo peor fue la larga espera para todo. Entre los calçots y la carne tardaron 25 minutos y porque tuvimos que decirle al camarero que si faltaba mucho la carne, sobre todo habiendo niños. Para traer pan o bebida también era un tiempo de espera. 20 minutos para una botella de agua. La verdad es que era del grupo travinou sería igual que el resto de restaurantes pero no. Trato muy amable de los camareros aunque se les veía desbordados también. No recomendaría ir a este sitio para un menú calçots. Eso sí está en un sitio inmejorable par visitar el centro.

As a returning customer, I had high expectations for this restaurant based on my wonderful experience during Christmas last year. Unfortunately, my recent visit fell short of those expectations. The standout issue was the prawns, which didn't seem fresh and had an off-putting smell. This negative start significantly impacted our overall dining experience, making it difficult to enjoy the rest of our meal. It's disappointing that this visit couldn't match the excellent impression left by our previous one during the holiday season.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Horrible el restaurante de ciutat Vella. Tardan casi media hora en traer el segundo plato. Pedí las carnes a la brasa y lo que me traen fue una pata minúscula de algún pájaro, posiblemente era una paloma, no parecía pollo. Las otras carnes eran pequeños trozos de salchichas, una parecía la punta de una p ...imaginad. Por el precio tan alto una gran decepción.

Un ROBO. Muy caro para la mala calidad que ofrecen. 1) 50 euros el menu calçots y a la segunda teja que pedimos de calçots ya nos dijeron que no se podia repetir más.. 2) Los calçots estaban poco cocinados. 3) El arroz de la opción vegana era incomible de lo salado que estaba 4) Pedimos más pan y fue toda una odisea. Parecia que estabamo pidiendo caviar, que iban a ver si era posible, que si no nos habian puesto ya…blablabla nos llegó el pan cuando ya casi habiamos terminado de comer. 5) Pedimsos una 3a botella de vino (eramos 8, nos habian dicho que nos tocaba 4 botellas) y nos dijeron que ya no se podia pedir más vino ?? Protestamos y finalmente nos la pusieron… Vino que te traen ya destapado y sin tapon…huele a garrafón. Pagar 50 euros y que ni si quiera puedes repetir pan, el vino que te toca y una teja más de calçots….es excesivamente caro. Ahhh y vegetarianos ni os asomeis, era pura sal ese arroz.

La verdad nada que sorprenda. Teníamos reserva a las 15:15 y pasamos a mesa a las 16:10. Ahora hablaré de la comida. Costillas BBQ, regulares, no las recomiendo. Queso brie crocante como entrante, frío, nada qué ver, tampoco. Cordero al horno, para mí, muy crudo, no me gustó el gusto que tenía. La parrilla de verduras, grasosita. Un entrecot quemado por fuera y bueno, por dentro estaba jugoso. Pero sin más.... Ruido en el restaurante al ser tan pequeño y las mesas tan juntas pues apenas puedes hablar.
