Delicious food with nuanced flavors, served quickly with kind servers. Loved sitting at the kitchen bar and seeing how expertly they worked and had fun at the same time.

We had a great experience and the staff was very welcoming. We were informed that the reservation guarantees us the table for two hours but luckily we had the table for more like 3.5 untill the entire venue closed. I had plenty of wonderful surprises, the greates were the amazing duck hearts, I can't wait to go there again. The best dish was probably the roastbeef and mussels with home made mayo, a wonderful re imagination of the traditional vitello tonnato

Amazing place, nice rustic decoration, misleading but crazy amazing logo and the staff (except one angry-speed lady) was very pampering. Prices are not crazy and the music is pretty cool. I will bring all my visitors here.

One of our favourite tapas restaurants in Barcelona. Would definitely recommend the labneh, ham and beetroot dishes. Friendly service, lively atmosphere and short wait time for a group of 5 on a Tuesday night. Didn’t get to take photos of the food, ate it too quickly

I had wine and some appetizers with my friends. The vibe was great, the staff were super friendly and our waiter gave us good suggestions in what to drink. The appetizer was delicious! The is a must try. The food is a bit expensive, mas super worth the money and for the wine you have all prices range. I had a great time while there.

Had the most wonderful evening and dinner at Bar Brutal, a truly special time I won’t forget. We wanted outside about 30 minutes before getting a shared table with other guests. The servers were really nice and had great knowledge about the wine, everything they recommended was perfect. We shared plates including the bone marrow (amazing !!!), the smoked pork, octopus, bread and dessert. This is definitely a place I’ll recommend to future visitors to the city!

How to describe it better than by saying "PERFECT", if I could have put 10 stars I would have done it 🥹 Lets start with the food: whatever you choose it is very delicious! Amazing flavours, cooked with perfection, balanced, well seasoned. Great selection of wines too! Friendly and welcoming staff ! I absolutely love the concept and the vibes inside, we had a great evening and I would recommend it to anyone!

Bar Brutal is an absolute gem! The tapas were fantastic—fresh, creative, and packed with flavor. The wine selection was exceptional, and the sommelier’s recommendations elevated the entire dining experience. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, perfect for a relaxed evening out. A word of advice: make sure to book in advance, as this spot is quite popular—and for good reason! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy amazing food, wine, and service in a great setting. Labneh with fresh mint, oh la la. Cured tuna was Wow wow wow .

Arielle McCracken

Second time here and still love it! Cured tuna was our favorite thing we ordered, followed by labneh. Amazing natural wines list! Recommend making a res but we only waited 15/20 minutes on a Friday night without one.

If you’re going to go to one restaurant in Barcelona, let it be this. We heard raving reviews about this place but we had to try it for ourselves - and it was fantastic. Innovative dishes, experienced servers who are well versed on wine, fair pricing, a wine list larger than you can imagine, and a great funky atmosphere. Perfect for a date night or group of friends, great shareable dishes and seasonal menus. We asked our server to recommend a wine based on our personal tastes and price point and he came back with a delicious orange wine that really set the tone for our meal. We loved every aspect of this dinner and you absolutely need to go here.

Amazing Place. This place certainly allows you to taste quality products in an informal environment. Deep dedication to the search for unique products cooked and assembled with great professionalism. Deep and curated wine list. There are great wine products with great attention to natural wines. We food and wine enthusiasts returned twice on a three-day holiday: it's the place you want in your city to always go there! Special mention to the dining room service who was able to welcome us and follow us along the gastronomic journey: congratulations for the great professionalism and reserved welcome. We will see each other soon!

We had a lovely evening here! The food is sooo tasty and fresh, and the vibe is really cool. But the one who really made our night was Juan, he’s such a lovely soul and super positive and energetic. Very very kind guy and I hope he will be your waiter when you go and eat there! Say hi to him from me 😉 oh one thing: if you like it it’s fine, but they only serve natural wines (which I don’t like). They have other options like beer and amaro (which was very good) but just so you know

During my recent visit to this winery in Barcelona, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality and variety of their wine selection. With an extensive range of wines from around the world, there’s something for every palate. What made the experience even more remarkable was the assistance provided by the sommelier. Their knowledge and recommendations were invaluable in navigating the vast selection and finding wines that perfectly suited our tastes. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, enhancing our overall experience. The food served was also a highlight - delicious and thoughtfully paired with the wines, elevating each flavor. The restaurant’s stylish interior adds to its appeal, creating an inviting and sophisticated atmosphere. It’s important to note that reservations are a must, as this seems to be a popular spot. My visit to this winery was a highlight of my trip to Barcelona, and it’s a place I would eagerly return to on my next visit. If you’re a wine enthusiast looking for an exceptional dining experience in Barcelona, this is a destination not to be missed.

Can Cisa/Bar Brutal in Barcelona was a truly exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an incredible fusion of flavors, impeccable service, and a delightful ambiance. The food was outstanding, with tastes that left me thoroughly impressed. The staff was attentive and friendly, making me feel right at home. Now, I must admit, there might be a bit of a wait, depending on when you go, but let me assure you, the anticipation only adds to the experience. It's a place where time seems to stand still as you savor every moment and every bite. So, if you're in Barcelona, make sure you don't miss the extraordinary Can Cisa/Bar Brutal – it's worth every moment of the wait.

Lovely place. Really good food - modern and creative tapas dishes with great taste. Great wine list. Cozy atmosphere and very attentive staff - although sometimes it got a little superficial, but there were also many guests! But definitely 5 stars and we will without doubt come again, next time hopefully before or after the high season.

Productos de calidad y sabores que sorprenden. El lugar es muy agradable, con un rollo hipster pero para todos los públicos. Los precios están algo poco pasados, pero sin que llegue a doler. Recomendado si te gusta probar cosas nuevas y buscas un sitio informal.

Uno de esos sitios que tienes cerca y siempre dices "tengo que ir" pero vas dejando. Por fin me anime a entrar con unos amigos un viernes por la noche. El local tiene ese rollo de bodega antigua reconvertida que le da mucho encanto, con las botellas a la vista y poca iluminacion que crea un ambiente muy especial. Los vinos naturales que tienen son bastante interesantes, pedimos un par de copas y nos recomendaron muy bien segun nuestros gustos. Las tapas estan correctas aunque no son el punto fuerte del sitio, lo mejor claramente es la seleccion de caldos. El unico pero es que a veces cuesta encontrar sitio y el servicio se ralentiza un poco cuando hay mucha gente.

Si eres de los que disfruta explorando sabores diferentes, te recomiendo mucho Can Cisa, ubicado en el corazón del Barri Gòtic. No te preocupes por encontrarlo, porque su ubicación es bastante accesible. Lo que más me gusta es que en su carta ofrecen una variedad de platos inspirados en otras cocinas, cada uno preparado con mucho cuidado y que realmente vale la pena. Los precios me parecen muy justos para la calidad que recibes, tanto en la comida como en el servicio. Además, es un lugar que está muy de moda en la zona, así que no olvides reservar con tiempo para asegurar tu mesa. Tiene un ambiente muy tranquilo y agradable, lo que lo hace ideal para ir en familia. Si quieres hacerte una idea, puedes ver las fotos de sus platos en Instagram, que realmente invitan a probarlo todo.

Si queréis probar un buen vino, esto es el sitio ideal! Lista muy amplia, pero no os preocupéis, los camarones os ayudarán en la elecion. Hemos cenado en 4, platos particulares y elaborados. Una carta muy corta que pero te sorprenderá. Sitio muy bien curado. Precios de la comida medio altos. Volveré!

Un lugar agradable con una extensa carta de vinos naturales, muy buenos por cierto. Anguila con apionabo (muy fresco, perfecto para empezar), y las carrilleras con puré de frijoles, para el postre el de regaliz con caramelo, una combinación que va mejor de lo que pensaba. El servicio estaba un poco lento y tuve que esperar varios minutos entre un plato y otro, pero hay que decir que era una noche donde había mucho movimiento.

Still one of the favorites to re-visit for good wine and food. Vegetarian options are quite limited, but they’re great - excellent play with fresh ingredients and dressings! On a pricier side in terms of what you pay to what you get, but it’s a treat!

I recently dined at Bar Brutal in BCN and was absolutely blown away by the incredible fusion food crafted by their talented Italian chef. Every dish was a perfect blend of flavors, showcasing both creativity and authenticity – absolutely delicious from start to finish! The wine selection was excellent, and the woman who took care of our wine was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. However, our waiter seemed quite disinterested, which was a bit disappointing. While it didn’t detract from the food or wine experience, it would have been nice to feel the same enthusiasm from all the staff.

I had the pleasure of visiting this one twice. Nicely decorated with an impressive wine selection. The draught beer here was exceptional! I didn't eat on my two visits, but wouldn't hesitate in trying a dish or two should I return. Pleasant service and ambient music, worth a try.

Sitio para turistas, precio para turistas y comida también para turistas. La comida es muy engañosa, pone una cosa y después te traen embutido normal y corriente (ver fotos) son trampantojos. Los vinos tienen una carta extensisima pero 2 que pido no los tienen 🤷🏻‍♂️y nos trajeron uno ecológico que 👎 Así que muy fashion pero no es nuestro lugar hay sitios muchísimo mejores donde puedes comer o cenar como tal.

I usually walk into any restaurant with the mindset that every place starts at 5 stars - it’s up to them to stay there or work their way down. Even when mistakes happen, a simple acknowledgment and sincere apology can go a long way to keeping that top rating. Unfortunately, this restaurant didn’t come close to living up to its hype. We were a large group of 14, and I asked our waiter to prepare a selection of tapas based on his recommendations. From the start, it felt like he wasn’t really listening. Things went downhill when we moved on to the mains. We inquired about the size of the pork “steak” and were told it was a 180g portion, sliced nicely. We clearly asked for 13 individual dishes of that main. What we received instead were 6 plates to share. When we pointed out the mistake, the waiter didn’t acknowledge it, he was defensive, even arrogant, rather than helpful or apologetic. The wine experience was equally disappointing. We requested a specialist to guide us through the selection. After a long discussion about preferences and notes, three bottles were brought out for tasting. Despite our feedback and the fact that several at our table are experienced wine drinkers, the choices completely missed the mark. It felt like our input was dismissed rather than understood. These two major issues, combined with a lack of accountability and professionalism, cost the place two stars. Mistakes happen, but failing to own them shows a lack of respect for the guests and the experience. It’s a real shame, because the venue and atmosphere are fantastic, clearly a lot of potential. But good staff make or break a restaurant, and this time, poor service overshadowed everything else. I sincerely hope management takes this feedback seriously and works to improve the training and attitude of the team for future guests. Visit 02/09-2025

Precio desproporcionado para las raciones servidas y calidad de los platos. Nos trajeron todos los platos al nada de haber pedido y de vez. Casi que te sientas y ya te están diciendo que comas rápido y dejes paso a otros. Algunos de los platos están preparados con antelación y recalentados, como las huevas de merluza que parecían una suela de zapato al comerlas. Una pena. El servicio mediocre y mucho ruido en el local. Recomiendo acudir a lugares más auténticos y con buena comida, aquí tómate un vinito natural si te gustan y ya.

Barcelona À Table

Hype machine, tourist trap energy, and very little joy Bar Brutal looks the part: busy room, loud confidence, and a vibe that’s constantly telling us we’re in the “right” place. But once we actually eat and drink, the spell fades fast. The food is… fine. Not bad, not exciting—just regular plates priced like they’re running a top-tier kitchen. We don’t mind paying when something sings; here it mostly just shows up. The bigger issue is the wine narrative. Too many glasses felt plainly mediocre, then got waved away with the line that “natural wine is like that.” Maybe. But “natural” isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card for faults or laziness. It ends up feeling less like a point of view and more like an excuse. And the room doesn’t help. The attitude can be insufferable, the postureo is constant, and the whole thing reads calibrated for visitors who won’t come back anyway. We left feeling managed, not hosted—and with zero reason to return. Clean: 5/10 Comfort: 6/10 Food: 6/10 Wine: 5/10 Service: 5/10 The Experience: 5/10 Price: 40€/pax

Por fin visité el famosísimo Bar Brutal. Una experiencia que confirma que, a veces, la fama y la realidad no se saludan. Si buscas una oda al producto fresco, sigue buscando. Empezamos con las Zamburiñas, el supuesto plato estrella. Por su textura, daba la impresión de que acababan de salir de un largo sueño en el congelador. Considerar esto un 'must' es como decir que una pizza precocinada es alta cocina italiana. Luego, un calamar a la plancha por 20€ que, sinceramente, destacaba más por su precio que por su sabor. Pero el momento estelar fue el pastrami con mejillones. Una idea creativa, lástima que decidieran ejecutarla con mejillones de conserva de calidad básica en lugar de producto fresco. Pagar más de 100€ por una cena basada en congelados y latas, con raciones microscópicas, es una experiencia que no pienso repetir. Un consejo: si os gusta que os cobren oro por comida de despensa, este es vuestro sitio.

Fuimos a tomar algo y pedimos una tabla de quesos y dos copas de vino. Cuando estábamos terminando la tabla —aún quedaban varios trozos—, el camarero se la llevó sin preguntar. Intentamos avisarle, pero no volvió. Al rato, le comentamos lo ocurrido y su respuesta fue poco profesional: nos dijo que “no quedaba nada” y que si queríamos “os lo vuelvo a traer”. La forma de gestionarlo nos pareció bastante poco seria. Una pena, porque el sitio en sí podría estar bien, pero este tipo de detalles hacen que uno no tenga ganas de volver.

no puede ser que los camareros solo hablen en inglés, ni una palabra en castellano ni catalán para contestar preguntas básicas de la carta. no entendimos porqué contratan a expats, además no uno, sino todos. la atención, inexistente, solo traen y recogen platos. imagino que porque no pueden comunicarse con alguien que no sea guiri. la comida cara y las raciones ridículamente pequeñas. una decepción que Barcelona y su hostelería se esté convirtiendo en esto.
