This place was so amazing and the best priced food we had while in Europe. Everything was blasting with flavor I never wanted to stop eating. We ate: Zucchini carpaccio, guacamole and toasted corn Duck confit with potatoes in red wine sauce Salmon with vegetables, coconut & curry sauce Fresh pasta with apple & duck liver sauce All fannnnnnnntastic. Another place when I go back to Barcelona I will for sure go to again. Without a doubt!

This is truly a good dinner spot. We tried eating here on a Sunday, but, much to our disappointment, it was closed for the day. Not ready to give up, we stopped by on Monday night right after they reopened at around 8:00 p.m. When we arrived, we were the only customers inside. The advantage to eating dinner that«early»(by Barcelona standards) was that we had our pick of a table. We started off with a salad that had mango and pieces of salmon. It was very flavorful. We then had the rigotoni with pine nuts, creamy sauce, and mushrooms. This dish was outstanding. The creamy sauce was very good. We then had chicken with potatoes and fried yuca. The chicken and yuca were very tasty, but the potatoes did not have much flavor. For dessert, I had a piece of yogurt(which had the texture of cheesecake) topped with a mango sauce. It was a great tasting dessert. My fiancée had the crema Catalana, which was a bit too watery, but otherwise good. The service here was good and the food was great. If you want a great meal, this is definitely the place for you.

My friends took me to this delightful restaurant and we enjoyed an absolutely fantastic meal for under 8 €. The ambiance is cozy and the waitstaff is friendly. The menus on the wine bottles is a clever idea! We ordered the Menu of the day and a beer… the fish was amazing. Stop in here if you get a chance!

Restaurant très agréable au pied de Santa Maria del Mar. La décoration est un peu«art nouveau«rencontre bric à brac, avec les vitraux colorés et les abat-jours en couvert. La carte est assez réduite(elle tient sur des fiches collées sur des bouteilles de vin !) mais variée. Ma salade en entrée était copieuse et bonne, sans être exceptionnelle, mais mon plat m’a définitivement convaincue de revenir chez Petra ! Filets de dorade au fromage de la Garrotxa, hmmmm ! D’instinct je n’aurai pas associé poisson et fromage, mais l’alliance des goûts et des textures était très réussie. Autour de la table, on a aussi goûté le saumon en papillote, la cassolette pomme de terre, oeuf, foie et le hamburger sauce parmesan. En dessert, j’ai pris le fondant au chocolat qui s’est avéré un peu ordinaire finalement. J’aurais dû prendre la verrine de fromage frais à la mangue, délicieuse. Le service est plutôt rapide et sympathique. Je pense qu’il vaut mieux réserver ou né pas arriver trop tard.

Petra was, BYFAR, the best meal I had in Barcelona. I shouldn’t have waited a week to write this review, because now I don’t remember all the dishes we tried, but I could never forget that tuna dish. So, so amazing. We also had a gazpacho/avocado situation that was pretty wonderful. The most shocking thing about this restaurant is that it is SO affordable! Should I ever come back to Barcelona, Petra will be my first meal!

Very interesting and great tasting food for a very reasonable price. The menus are printed on wine bottles, the dessert menu even on a thinner muscat-like bottle if you get to it. :-) We had a really good smoked corn soup with small mozzarella balls that tasted like it had bacon in it, a very tasty tuna carpaccio, a pizzeta(small pizza) with zucchini, heavy Brie, smoked salmon and a few greens and to top it off the dock confit with red wine sauce(a reduction, defiantly with some sort of berries in it) Now, we were two people sharing all of these, so we got to taste more. Really recommend this place. It’s very small and either you have to get there just when they open at 20.30 or reserve table.

This cute restaurant is located in the Barrio Gothic area of Barcelona and is a bit hard to find. It’s located on the back side of the Santa Maria del Mar(famous church). I came here with 2 others for lunch around 3:30pm and they still took us. I ordered from the menu del dia which served a 3-course meal with a drink for 12 euro. If you chose to order from the regular menu, each dish was ~5−8 euro, which is very reasonable considering the quality and taste of the food! I got the tuna salad appetizer which was delicious and came with mixed greens and artichokes. My main dish was fish, which was quite tasty, and my dessert was a mango cake with ice cream, so tasty! Overall, it was great food for great value in a nice, off the beaten path restaurant. I would DEFINITELY recommend coming here again– it’s not too touristy :)

I had a great meal here in this super cute spot after our original destination was jam packed. From the salmon salad(which the salmon appears in a sort of super fresh salsa form) to my mushroom, quail egg, and Serrano ham bake, everything was beautiful and satisfying. My dish contained mushrooms of such a unique variety that I initially thought they were pasta. The only thing I have to note is that I felt like my boyfriend was pressured into buying a bottle of wine somewhat, when we knew we didn’t really have room for it. We made it fit, and then passed out promptly after(when that wasn’t the intended plan for our night.) Other than that, I definitely recommend. Also, extremely affordable. $ 35 for two entrees, a salad, bread and a bottle of wine.

Good place for dinner. We arrived at 8:30pm, and of course were the first people there. Can’t get used to the late dinners in Spain. By the time we left, the place was packed. I started with a couscous, melon, and anchovie salad that was very good and different from typical american salads. I had the bacalao, which was good, but I keep forgetting that I prefer fresh fish rather than the salted, preserved bacalao. Last time I had it was in Portugal ten years ago, and I seem to forget. But, it was good nonetheless. My wife had salmon salad and then a chorizo pizza, and she loved them, especially the salad. For dessert, a dense flour less chocolate cake that was decadently rich and dense. Great place, great location not too far from the Museo Picasso in the Gothic quarter.

This place is always crowded, so you either have to make reservations or time it just right to get in. The prices are beyond reasonable(I still can’t believe how well we ate for so little) and the food is delicious. We had fish and pasta, and both were excellent. Service is efficient and attentive. Definitely a restaurant to check out in the Gothic Quarter.

This place was amazing! It was the best bang for your buck, filled with only locals and really great food. WE all got coffee, desserts, appetizers and maincourse and still the cost was lower than what we paid at all the«tourist traps» — great recommendation by our friends(from LA). The restaurant itself was so cute! They had their menu listed on wine bottles. Most noteworthy — the desserts! the tiramisu and the mango yogurt cake was to DIE for! The vegetarian main course(gnnochi in hazelnut cream and mushrooms was ok. Kind of heavy because of the cream) but the boys ordered chicken with dates/olives and Salmon baked in a parchment paper and they licked their plates dry. Your next trip to Barcelona, add this quaint restaurant to your itinerary.

La Petra forma un grupo de restaurantes junto al Pla dels Àngels y la Semproniana, pero a mi parecer la Petra es ligeramente superior a estos dos. Para empezar el local es mucho más bonito, tiene una capacidad para unas cuarenta personas, es bastante cuadrado, la decoración es modernista, la puerta y ventanales son de madera con las formas sinuosas que caracterizan el noucentisme y con cristaleras de colores muy bonitas. La forma de poner las mesas también es más clásica, más de restaurante romántico o para hacer una cena especial. En cambio el precio es muy asequible, entre veinte y treinta euros por persona. La carta no es muy extensa pero los platos que ofrecen los cocinan bien. Siempre hay que reservar mesa, pues lo normal es que lo encuentres lleno en todos los turnos.
