Our last night in Barcelona we were looking around for somewhere to have dinner - the first night we were so tired it had been the first place we had come to - though the steak was pretty okay - but after that we had less success for dinner, until the last night. We were simply wandering around looking for somewhere, and a woman came up to advertise a restaurant just down a narrow street, she said to come and have a look and see what we thought. The deal was sweetened with a promised glass of champagne.
So we followed her a few steps down a narrow street and came to Sinatra, it was richly decorated inside in browns and creams, and felt warm and welcoming so we decided to stay. The background music was some jazz, which was soft enough not to feel intrusive into conversation but loud enough not to overhear neighbouring tables. We were seated on the ground floor, and menus were quickly brought for us to peruse. The menu had a great many choices, we were quite impressed and each ordered a different dish. The service was not speedy,it was not intended to be, so we had a leisurely meal with time to relax and chat. When the dishes arrived, we were each happy with our choices, everything was well-cooked and presented. The high point was the dessert - not exactly spanish in style -but the best made of all we had - I had a chocolate pudding which was melting in the middle, and a very interesting plate.
The entire experience was a great closing evening to a few days trip to Barcelona. I would recommend this restaurant just off the lower end of Las Rambla, it was well worth what we paid. The strange part was the headsets of the staff which seemed slightly out of place.
