Una experiencia muy local, la gente que atendía muy amable, la comida muy buena. Es una "picada" asi que no esperes experiencias muy sofisticada, pero esta buenísimo.

Siempre es un placer comer aquí. Los sábados hacen platos diferentes y con sabor muy casero. En ocasiones, puedes ser atendido por el propio dueño. Pero todo el equipo es muy simpático y agradable. En especial, Laura y Óscar. Muy recomendable pedir los callos, la ensaladilla rusa, las albóndigas, las patatas bravas y cualquier plato de cuchara. En fin, todo está muy rico.

lugar increíble, ambiente catalán increíble. la comida es deliciosa, especialmente si quieres comer comida local✨🤍y el café es uno de los mejores que bebí en Barcelona

Comida de mercado,excepcional! La atencion del personal,exquisita. El mejor sitio para comer como en casa y la relacion calidad,precio y servicio de 12.)

Lugar ideal si eres liberado sindical y te apetece despejarte un par de horas, mientras piensas en los problemas laborales de tus compañeros con un par de birras y unas gambitas. Voy un par de veces al día.

Bar de toda la vida en el mercado, con tapas y raciones de calidad, y a muy buen precio. Personal muy profesional y amable a pesar de toda la gente que había, mención especial para Olga qué me ayudó a elegir las tapas qué comer.

muchas gracias por las cervezas y su sonrisa siempre

We went inside Santa Caterina Market hoping to eat at one of the stalls for late lunch but it was past 3:30pm so most were already closed for the day.......until way in the back we came across a busy bar looking place serving food! We got seating immediately at the bar and found out they served a 3-course menu for the price of 15 Euro which also included a glass of beer or wine! For the same price I would be lucky to get a bowl of salad in SF! You get to choose your 1st and 2nd course and dessert. Waitress highly recommended the Rioja style potatoes with chorizo so hubby ordered that while I ordered white bean and tuna salad for our 1st and we each got a white fish of the day for our main. Plus glass of beer for me and wine for hubby. Both 1st course items were pretty hefty serving - potatoes were really tasty! Fish was a bit dry but 2 filets per dish left us full. Ended our meal with caramel custard and melon. Lot of regular locals were there. Warm and hospitable service.

Probably the best place I ate in Barcelona. Was keen to find a proper sit at the bar 'menú del día' place and this hit the spot. Great food and great value in the heart of a market.

We liked their tapas in our first visit. It was not that busy, and we could quickly get our bar stools and have our orders delivered promptly. The next day, we had to wait for around 20 minutes for lunch seats, where they served a totally separate menu. Just be prepared to wait to be served, wait for the food. It was worthwhile.

Traditional typical bar tapas place, good and easy food to eat nothing fancy all authentic. I assume they got everything from the market next door. Come earlier to get a seat otherwise just wait your turn, fix menu at 15 € or tapas with different prices and affordable.

stopped by for the quick snack and dessert. i enjoyed the anchovies and flan! keep in mind that the bar and main dining area are separate. i queued for the main dining area only to realise they don’t serve tapas there, so i had to queue again for a bar seat just so i could get the anchovies

I went to Bar Joan as recommended by the youtuber Spain Revealed and i was not disappointed with the food , service, ambiance and the reasonable prices. Loved their delicious callos and tinto de verano. 95% of the clients were locals. Despite the language barrier, i felt very welcomed, To the guy in the photo, Muchas gracias señor!! Nos vemos pronto.

Many local comes here and the prices were very reasonable. Had a few tapas and drinks. Friendly and service was fast. We had to stand waiting behind some diners who at almost finishing before we get a seat. Fast turnaround. Food was tasty. I think it is a better place to grab a quick bite than Mercat de la Boqueria, which is overpriced and wait is very long.

Authentic tapas bar located in the Santa Catarina Market visited mostly by locals only. The service is 10/10 and the food is even better! Two drinks and 5 dishes later… 28 euro which is a bargain.

Really nice atmosphere, a little British cafe vibe with actually really good food. Would recommend the seafood- octopus, calamari and mussels. Waiting staff were super lovely and friendly! Would definitely recommend.

So this is my first time in Spain and this was the first place that I stopped for a quick snack and a beer and they did not disappoint! I had the meatballs with bread and they were simply amazing, truly loved the sauce. Not sure what the beer on tap was but it was a light beer and very refreshing. Very friendly and great customer service. Will definitely be back to try out more of their kitchen items before we leave.

This is an amazing little bar / café in Santa Catarina Market, excellently run by an army of friendly staff to cater for their many customers. We'd heard good things from watching YouTube recommendations, but this place surpassed expectations. Each dish was packed with flavour - we came back each day of our visit to try more of the menu. The grilled peppers (not technically on the menu) were one of the best. And all very affordable! Would love to stop by on the way to work if I lived nearby..

Best local tapas we had in Barca - it’s friendly and fast service with absolutely delicious food. Must visit! TIP YOUR WAITER!

Cheap tapas in the "other" market. Away from the chaos of La Boquerina this is the more modern market where the locals tend to shop and eat. Excellent cheap tapas, lovely staff. Can't fault it.

No puedo puntuar muy alto porque estuvimos solo probando unas bravas y tomando un cava. Pero lo que comimos estaba rico y con ganas de repetir para probar otras cosas con más calma. Buen ambiente en el interior del mercado y con precios normales de bar (no de esos “para turistas”). Recomendable!

Muy buena relación calidad/precio, con un excelente servicio. El menú es ámplio, variado y está confeccionado con productos frescos muy bien trabajados. El personal es amable y sirven con un muy buen ritmo, prácticamente no hay que esperar entre plato y plato.

We ordered 5-6 dishes. All tasted good and the prices are affordable. Also a popular place for local.

The set menu was a great deal and tasted delicious. The bean with bacon starter was a bit salty, but it paired well with beer. The main dish, braised pork, was tender and delicious. If I have friends visiting for sightseeing, I might take them there again.

A hassle place with good traffic and quick service. It’s in the market so you get to try good varieties of “Spanish food” in a productive manner. Food wise it’s okay. You can’t really expect that much. Overall it’s very popular and a good place to have a taste of local vibe. They have a blackboard on the side with each day’s special menu in Spanish. The tripes was too much in sauce and salty. The rest two were good. Price was good compared to other tourist flooded places.

Traditional tapas and menu del dia spot in the Santa Caterina market. A mix of locals and tourists like me. Food is simple but tasty, the service is quick.

No he estado todavía en este bar, pero tras una experiencia desagradable con una persona que aparentemente trabaja allí —ya que llevaba su chaqueta— mi opinión es muy negativa. El hecho ocurrió por la mañana, alrededor de las 11, por lo que es razonable pensar que estaba en horario laboral. Esta persona entró en la lavandería donde yo esperaba y dejó su ropa ocupando la secadora durante largo tiempo, impidiendo que otras personas pudiéramos utilizarla. Al indicarle que ese comportamiento era irrespetuoso, no se disculpó y decidió ignorar completamente el comentario. Si esta es la actitud de quienes representan al local durante su jornada de trabajo, quizá sería conveniente enseñar una mayor educación y respeto, sobre todo cuando se lleva el nombre del establecimiento encima.

This place deserves 0 stars, but since that isn’t possible, I guess it gets a star for effort. Food was awful. Steak was dry, fish had no flavor, and stuffed tomatoes were like ketchup. When we were ordering, around a quarter of the options ran out. Furthermore, the desert options were just fruit and store-bought basic deserts. Our family ordered three sets of meals. It was said to include bread, desert, and two courses. However, we never received our bread, which made us disappointed from the very start. Due to the inefficiency of the restaurant, we had to wait 10-20 min for a table even though there were many tables available. Overall, this was the worst restaurant I’ve been to a long time. We never plan to come back.
