BiancaMarch 19, 2016The crew is fun and the experience, at the market, it is worth the effort! Try the eggs menu with whatever suits your taste (shrimps and foie gras it's highly recommended). Ox tail risotto was amazing
Daniel BrugalJuly 12, 2016The huevos fritos con chipironcitos (fried eggs with baby squid) is hands down, the most delicious egg dish I have ever had! Order it and you will not be disappointed. Believe the hype
Rita BaltazarJuly 17, 2017All the menu is amazing! Go for the baby squids with egg, patatas bravas, the mussels are also great and if you have really hungry go for the oxtail. Prepare to wait but Señor Quim don't let you down.
Keyue BaoAugust 18, 2018Good food but sure if worth the wait, oxtail risotto is very much a comfort food and the baby squid fried egg is not like anything I’ve had! The croquettes are so-so but the spicy potatoes are musts!
LisaAugust 3, 2018Every dish we ordered was a plate of heaven!The house special baby squid with egg, the slow cooked pork rib, the grilled prawn with garlic, and the oxtail risotto. Fav tapas in Barcelona!
- Felix David Mejia MejiaJuly 2, 2022Everything from the sea and above is great at this place! Do not over-order, you can find out you just asked for a lot of food that you won’t be able to eat!
Et-Choon TayJanuary 15, 2016Everything is good here. We had the squid with egg, tortillas, mushroom, prawns, pan fried vegetables, artichoke chips, pork sausage & croquette. Desserts Grandma's homemade cake and cheesecake.
Daniel GraysonDecember 7, 2018Delicious, busy, beautiful. The most surprising dish (in the good way) was the sausage with beans. But the foie on a bed of mushrooms is sheer decadence.
S PAugust 9, 2019Very good tapas in a different kind of setting in the middle of the market. An experience we'll worth trying...
- Sue ChoiOctober 18, 2019This place is a must in Barcelona. The sangria was delicious and the fried egg & baby squid - wow. But the real winner was the ceviche. Definitely get it!
Carrie CMay 15, 2013Awesome. Friendly staff. Ordered artichoke chips, pedron peppers, grilled asparagus, razor clams(so fresh!) and oxtail(so rich in flavour). Everything was good. Wanna go back for more!
Inna IvanovaJune 11, 2014You'll probably wait for 30-40 mins just to have a seat, but what they make their is just fabulous!!! Believe you'll enjoy whatever you'll order!!! 1000% recommend!
Ayse O. G .June 3, 2016U may have to wait to sit but believe me it worths. Try eggs with baby squid. İt's not served enough large (for 2 person) as they say, but quite tasty. Also an authentic atmosphere.
Terena P.August 22, 2018Worth every euro spent here. Delicious & simply done. We had the oxtail risotto, jamon, croquetes, shrimp and sangria.
Angéline VisserMarch 22, 2015Very popular. Small place, you eat at the bar and you're lucky if you find some empty seats. No reservation possible. Best tapas I've had. The home made tiramisu is delicious.
If you are there for breakfast, 'tortilla de alcachofa' (artichoke omelette) or if you are more adventurous try the 'huevos fritos con chipirones' (fried eggs with baby squid)
Cem S.May 23, 2016we waited a lot for free seat, but at the end we had an amazing lunch. not cheap for a marketplace restaurant, but this traditional taste and cozy ambience deserve that.
Christine ByunJuly 22, 2019Worth the awkward hovering/waiting to secure a spot. I wasn’t super hungry, and I still finished the baby squid with fried eggs.
Raimonds ButkānsDecember 5, 2017Great food at the very heart of one of the best food markets I have ever been to. Worth to wait the line for food and atmosphere.
DanielSeptember 29, 2014So much more than a market stall: amazing baby squid with young vegetables, grilled asparagus, fresh mussels, all at reasonable prices for quality food and speedy service.
Alexei DostoinovMay 27, 2016The food is fresh and delicious. Get a seat at the bar and the order the specialty of el quim.. The baby squid with egg! And don't forget to get some croquette, they are the best I tried in Barcelona!
Monica DesaiJune 11, 2018A must - get a drink while you wait and then splurge for the baby squid. Gazpacho also refreshingly good
NmJuly 15, 2015One Spanish omelet, please ... Tortilla or Spanish omelet was so delicious .. So many people but fast service
Melissa DagdaganJanuary 29, 2016It took me awhile to find this place, but I found it! Arrived around 8am so plenty of seating. Definitely order the chiparones!
- Burak BekdemirOctober 8, 2014Try to come around 2:30-3pm so it's calmer. Get the baby squid with fried eggs, oxtail risotto and shrimp.
Randy H.December 18, 2018Believe the hype! Squid with leaks is very tasty! Their garlic prawns and sautéed mushrooms were on point as well. Expensive but worth it.
FRLavCamDecember 31, 2016Baby Squid with eggs are good for breakfast. All seafoods are fresh. Service is fast! Staff are friendly.
Noah WeissJune 18, 2018Best restaurant in the market. The huevos with baby squid lived up to the hype.
- Cindy YangJanuary 6, 2016They are open early at 7am. Squid with fried eggs and prawns with fried eggs were amazing.
Foie gras with eggs. No doubt about it. So decadently yummy in your tummy. (Everything else was good too)
Jahaira VázquezSeptember 25, 2015Just wow! I was in heaven❤️Delicious food and excellent service. Try the tuna and asparagus.
Larisa PopescuOctober 22, 2019I consider this place the best food experience from Barca! Just go for the eggs :).
Ray SuJune 2, 2015The baby squid over fried eggs is fabulous. So much flavor packed in such a little bite.
Pookie monsterDecember 14, 2017Everything is good. Food and service. U will live their seafood with eggs menues. Will come back!!!
Jason H.December 22, 2018It’s cool as it’s in the Boqueria - but they are harried, the seats are uncomfortable, and the food is rushed. Meatballs were cold inside for example....
- The wild mushrooms cooked in Porto and dressed with balsamic vinegar are absolutely divine! A must-try!!!
Eelin ChangSeptember 15, 2018We..went with the baby squid and oxtail risotto.. Squid wasn't as salty as we'd like, but overall, both were quite good.
Micah ChilesJuly 15, 2015Baby squid (chipirones) on crunchy vegetables was spot on. House vino was okay. Duero or Rioja is better.
Monica DazaOctober 31, 2015The best market food ever, obligate place to come in Barcelona!! But please keep in mind to be patience and be able to wait a bit.... But deserve the waiting....
Michael HornNovember 14, 2014Mussels marinera, grilled sardines, baby squid with crunchy vegetables.
Emma KarayiannisSeptember 29, 2015Definitely quieter around 2:30 - 3pm. Razor clams, bull tail risotto and baby squid 👍
Tim GlowaOctober 16, 2018Amazing tapas... olives.... grilled sardines.... gazpacho.... peppers... cava.... sangria....
Curtis ShoungOctober 8, 2014Baby squid over eggs and grilled sardines. Although I'm sure everything is good here.
- Ramy El KassisAugust 17, 2016One of the best restaurants in Barcelona. The risotto is to die for ...
- Minhee ParkApril 22, 2016Baby squid with fried egg was one of my favorite dishes for the entire trip to Barcelona
