About El Gran Cafe
A longtime favourite of Barcelonans, from the 1920s until the next century, probably, El Gran Cafè restaurant feels every bit like a Parisian Art Nouveau brasserie. The Modernista style is glamourous, with red velvet curtains, original paintings, statuettes, grand brass chandeliers, soaring pillars, live piano in the evenings and a balcony from which to survey the scene. You'll feel as if you're on a movie set. The menu is a careful selection of traditional Catalan dishes like Paella Costa Brava and French ones like steak tartare. People tend to return again and again, not least because the prices are moderate and the service superb.

Four of us wen to El Gran Cafe, Barcelona at the end of December. The decor was fantastic. Three of us enjoyed our meal highly, whilst one of us was not keen on his main course. Service was a little rushed too, as if they couldn't wait to get rid of us.

I went to IEl Gran Cafe in Barcelonae a year ago and had the best meal of my life. This meal, I must say was one of the worst. The onion soup had what seemed like stale croutons, my lamb was raw in the midddle rather than pink - the waiter insisted it was supposed to be like that - no, it should not. My partner ordered beef with mash, it turned up looking okayish, but the beef underneath the mash was raw and the beef that wasn't under the mash was cooked - not good. Service however was.Review
Set menus displayed on toptable were not available and no explanation given. Food definitely only mediocre. Medium rare breast of duck was cold so sent it back and it was returned possibly Microwaved! More unbelievable was the mad pianist who glared and shook his head at us obviously thinking we were making too much noise though the whole restaurant was buzzing. He actually told us to shut up! He stopped playing and maitre'd had to tell him off. We did'nt bother with desert and coffee. UnbelievableVisitors
