El Terrat del Do

Got here by coincidence while walking through Barcelona. We are so glad we did! Enjoyed several tapas… all great! Good wine selection and reasonable prices. The plaza ambiance helps a lot… since there is a fair amount of people at the plaza most times. Very nice dinner and service. Cant wait to return!!!

Great find in Plaza Reial, just off Ramblas. Good food and wine, decent prices, great setting.

Best restaurant in La Placa Reial for Spanish food in this touristic section of Barcelona, just a few meters from Las Ramblas.
Great selection of tapas, really enjoyed it :-)

What a spectacular find. Just off Las Ramblas on a charming little placka, this gem of a restaurant has some of the most spectacular tapas on the planet. Every dish was sensational in presentation and palette. We started with the Padron peppers. Perfectly pan seared in olive oil and sea salt, this simply made dish was pure perfection and each bit a surprise due to the unpredictable heat of each tiny pepper. We followed this with a plate of hand cut Iberian ham paired with a rustic tomato rubbed bread. The ham melted in your mouth with a sweet and salty finish. You could practically taste the acorns fed to the black-​hoofed pigs that are carefully tended to produce this delicacy. The tomato bread was crusty, crunchy, and the perfect compliment to the buttery ham. I should mention that our charming server, Valeria, was attentive, clearly a foodie and full of recommendations. She suggested the next course, Patatas Brava, which are potatoes that deserve a standing ovation. Cubes of potatoes that had been twice cooked; first boiled and then lightly fried. Topped with a chipotle mayonnaise and pop of tomato coulis, the Patatas reimagined starch a side dish. We also enjoyed grilled endive with blue Reixago cheese and candied orange and fried calamari rings the size of bracelets in a light airy almost tempura batter. El Terrat del Do is a most-​Do if you ever have the marvelous good fortune of dining al fresco in Barcelona.

Of course I realize that any of the restaurants in Plaza Real are going to be super pricey, but you’re paying for location, and that’s pretty much what’s expected of you as a tourist. How else can you sit and fantasize living in one of the apartments that looks out onto the plaza, with their soaring ceilings and big shutters?
The people watching is great, and the service and tapas here were great as well. I appreciated that there was not someone trying to drag me in to sit down, and as it looks like it was recently updated (linens, umbrellas), it caught my eye amongst its competitors. Their sangria isn’t as sweet as they make it some other places, but that was just fine.

This may have been the only restaurant on the plaza that did NOT have a person outside working to drag you in. That always seems suspect.
This place is the terrace of a nice looking hotel, and we decided to give it a try.
Our starters were fantastic (little bacalao croquettes and terrific foie gras terrine with an onion and sweet wine jam).
And now comes the lobster paella — which was really expensive and really awful — really overcooked lobster, chewy and dry, in a disgusting pasty rice. I am sad that the lobster died for this mess.
I would’ve rated this place 4 stars at least for tapas — but stay away from that paella.

El otro dia por la noche, me sorprendieron. Fui al Jamboree a escuchar un bune concierto de Jazz, y alli mismo en la plaza real esta el Hoteldoreial. Me dijeron que habia una terraza… y subi. Realmente de noche es un sitio privilegiado, un servicio de cinco estrellas, en una noche de verano mediterranea y con la vida de la Plaza real a mis pies… Es un sitio ideal para charlar y es diferente, hasta por la ubicacion y todo tiene un romanticismo especial, la verdad es que me gusto mucho.
Tienen una muy buena seleccion de Gintonics y whiskys… yo me tome un 20 años que aun estoy saboreando.
Lo unico es precio, Barato no es.
Es decir si un dia estais por las Ramblas y quereis sorprender a vuestra pareja, os lo recomiendo. ademas el hall del hotel es muy bonito y vuelvo a repetir el servicio me parecio sin igual.
