Nuria

Decent place to have a sit down lunch in a great location. The restaurant is cute and has a very modern, Parisian feel.
The staff are extremely prepared to interact with foreigners, as they had menus in both Spanish and English and could converse with us in both languages.
I ordered the menu Del dia with two other friends. The portions are huge and the prices are very fair. I paid 12,90 euros for a cream of vegetable soup, meat and seafood paella, water, bread rolls, and a raspberry lemon sorbet. The cream of vegetable soup was pretty good, but had a weird aftertaste. It was accompanied by the crispest croutons that I’ve ever had and was finished off by a dollop of cream. The paella followed. The seafood wasn’t incredibly fresh but I was content with it given the price. The rice and as a little too hard and came in clumps and didn’t have the flavor that id expect from such an aromatic dish. The sorbet was light and airy and was perfect to finish off my meal.
Overall: good prices, charming décor and decent food.

Es una buena opción sobre las ramblas, aunque en las callecitas cercanas hay mejores alternativas.
Pedimos tapas: papas bravas, rabas… Estaban bien, pero es solamente para comer algo rápido en mi opinión.

Nous voulions manger sur les ramblas sans nous faire avoir sur les prix (c’est du vécu!) et nous sommes tombés sur cette pépite en début de ramblas.
Un restaurant chic avec beaucoup de charme, nous avons été vraiment surpris en découvrant les prix proposés car a première vue on né pensait pas pouvoir s’offrir un repas ici. D’ailleurs on dénotait un peu en short/​claquettes!
Vraiment pas cher! Des tapas, des salades, des plats en tout genre, burger, paella, le choix est vaste.
J’ai opté pour une salade a moins de 5 €! La quantité était correcte. Nous avons pris également quelques tapas qui étaient un peu grasses mais c’est le jeu, les tapas light sont rares et encore plus en Espagne! ;)
Le service était au rendez vous, les serveurs sont agréables et aux petits soins.
Belle découverte pour un resto chic, super bien situé et à petit prix!

Es ist für jeden etwas dabei. Die Paella mit Fisch war sehr gut, der Service sehr freundlich und flott.

Actually, we went upstairs to Bacco which did not figure in Unilocal?There you have the plat due jour and great other dishes rather than tapas and burgers if you want to escape from having them.

Tried the chicken paella and the homemade paella, it tasted ok but the flavors werent great. Strawberry mojito eas pretty good for 5 Euro… service was ok, we waited for abiut 5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated in a fairly empty establishment… also for some reason everyone around us was allowed to keep their pans (that that dish comes in) but the waitress didnt allow us to keep ours.

Das Restaurant Nuria befindet sich am oberen Ende der La Rambla und unterscheidet sich dank einer Sache von der Konkurrenz: Es wird nicht zwanghaft versucht den Kunden das Geld aus der Tasche zu ziehen.
Jeder, der schon in Barcelona war, weiß, dass man oft undurchsichtige Karten bekommt (keine Getränkepreise, keine richtige Aufgliederung bzgl. Tapas und deren Preise, etc.) und erst am Ende weiß wie viel man tatsächlich zahlen muss.
Im Nuria ist das zum Glück nicht so. Es gibt zwar auch hier keine vollständige Getränkekarte, aber die Kellner erklären einem alles direkt und von alleine. Damit kann man leben. :) Die Qualität der Speisen ist ebenfalls gut und die Preise angemessen.

Went there, famished and exhausted after a long flight. Immediately ordered tapas and sangria. Both were fine. The rice and mushroom based tapas was actually excellent in its buttery goodness, but the Spanish omelette tapas was meh — just an odd texture and tasted as though it had just been sitting out for a while.
Overall, it was an OK place which won because of it’s location, right on La Rambla, right by the train station. It was also nice that it had good indoor seating.
One big issue I had was the stairs leading to the second floor (where the bathroom is located). The stairs are visible from below, so, anyone under the stairs (there is seating there and another stairway leading into the kitchen) can get a good look at your derrière if you happen to be in a little less than modest clothing. It was just odd that it was there!

Full American Breakfast was the best! Excellent coffee and the orange juice was the freshest squeezed ever!

Probably our worst choice for a place to eat in Barcelona. We will walking up Ramblas looking for a breakfast place and could not decide on anything. So we begrudging when into this place. The food wasn’t terrible or overly expensive, but it was just a Spanish version of an Ihop or Huddle House.
Better options are all around.

Das Nuria an der Rambla de Calanetes bietet eine gute Auswahl typisch spanischer Köstlichkeiten. Von Tapas zu Paella etc. ist wirklich für jeden etwas dabei. Besonders die Paella ist ihr zu empfehlen, egal ob vegetarisch, traditionel mit Fisch oder für den Fleischliebhaber mit Hähnchen und Schwein. Einfach lecker!

this might have been the worst meal that i have had in memory.
pan con tomate and patatas bravas are pretty hard to mess up — so those were fine…
the chorizo «frito» was edible — but why would you ever want to fry a chorizo… it’s like fried lobster in my opinion — it’s perfect before — why would you want to destroy it.
we also ordered sepia (cuttlefish) and chiparones (calamaris) a la plancha. they both came in the same pseudo olive oil sauce with floaty green specs that i imagine they try to play off as spices or seasoning or herbs… but they are just green. no flavor. we squeezed the lemons until their last drop to try to get any flavor into them whatsoever… and then there was the texture… ugh.
we were tired from walking all day and thought we could grab a bite — knowing it was touristy food — but come on — tourists are people… they need to eat real food — even if it’s a rip off sometimes. but the mcdonalds next store would have been a better option.
Sodas each… were 4.45 EUR… no joke.
Nuria — should be called Murio — because the food here is dead.

The tapas were decent, nothing to write home about. I was pleased with my octopus, but the manchego cheese tapas should have been heated. A cold block of cheese with breading on the outside is strange… just sayin’.

Tourist trap in my opinion. Went here for lunch b/​c it was on La Rambla and was severely disappointed. My friends and I had a vegetarian pizza and some pasta and everything was just blah. There are tons of better little restaurants off La Rambla that are much cheaper!

El Bar Nuria tiene su encanto por los años que lleva en las Ramblas, pero yo sólo veo guiris bebiendo sangría. Ruido, gente que te mira desconcertada, como si fuera la primera vez que ven a una persona normal. Claro, ellos son turistas.
Sí, yo lo etiquetaría como local para turistas, da a las ramblas, se bebe en la terraza, tienen sangría y se ve a la gente pasar.
Una vez tomé una cerveza mientras esperaba a un amigo, en cuanto llegó me dijo ¿qué haces en este bar? contesté que vivir Barcelona desde más de una cara también es legal.

Pasan los años, las décadas, cambiamos incluso de milenio, las Ramblas se bastardizan una y otra vez como prevee su esencia… y el Nuria sigue ahí, viendo pasar la vida (y más).
Algunas leves puestas a punto han salpicado su trayectoria pero lo esencial se mantiene: una cafetería-​restaurante (la verdad es que no se me ocurriría comer aquí) ante la que globalización, gentrificación y demás movidas acabadas en –ión no tienen nada que hacer. El Nuria es patrimonio material e inmaterial de la ciudad.
Anecdotario: hará unos 7 u ocho años, una noche anodina entre semana, compartí barra con un aprentemente relajado Pedro Almodóvar

Ubicado en el centro de Barcelona, justo en el inicio de Las Ramblas y frente a la fuente de Canaletas, este restaurante se inauguró en 1933 y enseguida pasó a ser un punto de encuentro ineludible en el día a día de la ciudad. Frecuentado por actores de teatro y turistas, la fama internacional le llegó cuando la revista Life publicó una foto suya en portada. Sin duda, un hito para un restaurante familiar sin grandes aspiraciones. Aunque un incendio en 1985 lo arrasó por completo y puso en peligro su futuro, el local sigue manteniendo el encanto de antaño en su ubicación privilegiada.
Dispone de un gran comedor decorado con motivos vinícolas, aunque es recomendable reservar mesa con antelación para evitar colas. Así mismo, ofrecen menús diarios, disponen de especialidades vegetarianas y tienen servicio de comida «take away» (no en vano, se enorgullecen de ser el primer establecimiento que ofreció pollos al ast para llevar). Un restaurante que no tiene pérdida gracias a su cartel inconfundible.

We had to take a taxi to La Rambla as the rain showers were somewhat heavy. Located within minutes of our hotel, this two story restaurant was surprisingly one of the only places to have tapas within the area. It was actually easier to spot a McDs up the street than to find tapas in Barcelona? C’mon now. I’m sure that if we had the time going to La Boqueria down a few more blocks would’ve done so.
We ordered several tapas. jamon, muscles done in olive oil, cheese, bread with tomato spread calamari and squid and a spanish potato and onion omelet. The seafood was unlike anything we get in america. You can taste the sea water and salt in the squid and the cheese was definitely goat cheese. Oh my I was heaven. And well I also managed to get full with such a spread.
This place is local, and has been around quite awhile. It’s a relatively modern design inside and the service was excellent. Spaniards take forever to do things. I suspect that they too are on Filipino time perhaps. Unlike in the US where the waiter gives you your check during dinner, the Spanish seem to take just as long with this issue. Mainly since people aren’t in a hurry to leave. Though the service of checking on you and clearing the table is very very quick. We came on a busy night and our waiter was still on top of things. Anyhow yes, it is acceptable if you just hang around after eating and paying your bill. There we’re little ones asleep in their parent’s arms when we we’re arriving and leaving. And of course some families coming in for their start of dinner.
