Best Meals at Incredible Prices!

Anytime I travel to Barcelona, I like to debut it with a night at Les Quinze Nits. Cocina Mediterranea with your typical desserts from Catalonia. Great food, great service, and best of all, the value is INCREDIBLE. What amazes me are the prices which are incredibly low for such a fine dining experience! I definitely recommend this to ANYONE that goes to Barcelona. Word of advice, try to get there around 7:30pm, otherwise the queue can be pretty long.
Must Visit!

Have just returned from Barcelona and found this gem of a restaurant off the ramblas. Opens at 8.30pm but you should join queue (no reservations) from 8pm. Well worth the wait as silver service, and crisp clean tablecloths adorn tables. Prices are reasonable - a 4-course meal for four with wine will cost less than €80.00. Food choice is excellent and quality of food cannot be faulted. Even though there are large queues outside the restaurant we did not feel that the staff were rushing us out the door - Restaurant is good for kids and they enjoyed the change in ambience from fast food joints which are plentiful in Barcelona. Liked it so much returned for lunch later that week - queues not as long at lunchtime and inside is air conditioned - a welcome relief from midday sun. A great find - Enjoy...

Here's the deal. This place is the greatest bang for your buck, but they do not take reservations. It opens at 8 and you can get a table by waiting in line. Seriously, the line begins to form 30 minutes before this place opens. My favorite is the tomato soup starter with the lamb followed by crema catalana and all for about $15 us (note, this does include wine). You can not go wrong with this place! You might also note that this is a chain of sorts, the owner of this establishment also has at least two other that I know of. Also great deals.

This place is amazing! Right off of the Las Ramblas, it fills up quickly and there is often a line out the door and around the corner (get there a half hour before it opens, and watch the performers in the piazza). It is a tapas place, meaning it serves traditional small plated dinners to share. It may be the best meal I had in Spain, what a great place. The Ambiance is fabulous, with romantic mood lighting, and great decor.

I stumbled across this restaurant on my first night in Barcelona and remembered reading about it in the Rough Guide. My partner and I joined the queue, and after about 10 minutes, we were seated inside (this was at about 9:50pm on a Tuesday). The decor is very nice and conducive to a relaxed/romantic setting, cosy but modern. The prices were good and just got better when the food arrived. The quality of the food was superb given the cost, and for starters, main meals (not the cheapest on the menu either), dessert, and a litre of house red (very nice it was, too), we paid about 45€ for the two of us. We'd had tapas that cost more than that!
We chose this restaurant for our final meal in Barcelona. We arrived at 7:50pm to avoid queues, believing they opened at 8pm. In fact, they open at 8:30pm, but by that time, the queue was about 300 people long and we were at the front of it (this was on a Saturday night). As we were sat near the window upstairs, we could see how the queue progressed. It would seem that the best time to get there is about 9:45pm – everyone in the initial queue has been seated, but there are still seats available.
I can recommend the pork fillet in green sauce and also the fish stew. All the dishes are chosen for their local nature and also their bang-for-buck flavour and appeal. There simply are no dishes on the menu that cost much to make (no 32-ounce steaks), but everything that is available is superb. The combination of low cost and high quality makes this restaurant a favourite for many. The only other queue I saw for a restaurant in Barcelona was at their sister restaurant, La Fonda (another review). I simply can't recommend this restaurant enough.
