El portal dels encants

Outstanding restaurant and bar. A quiet location, 1 km from more than one museum and historical place. It offers delicious food and drinks. The workers are very nice. The atmosphere of loud music and singing gives a wonderful impression to visitors. I love this place very much.

This place appears as a small corner café. At the time we visited most of the clientele were construction workers, presumably working on the many local building projects in the area. We were in the neighborhood to visit the Mercat dels Encants flea market. The service was friendly and helpful. The food was brought out quickly and was delicious. The prices were fair and the server was very kind. I had the English breakfast, which was not technically all that constitutes that term, but it was tasty and satisfying and well worth the price. My wife fell in love with their jamón Serano and manchego cheese sandwiches. If passing by, do not count this place out. It is very nice and friendly.

Lovely place to sit outside and have a beer and very reasonable only €2 for draft beer.

They seemed to speak English, but the repeated request for to-go did not really work (the 1 thing that other non-English speakers dó understand here). It made me wonder if they did it on purpose? As a coffee perfectionist: The coffee was brewed too hot, it made it taste burnt and it was also a bit weak. Very tasty tortilla, friendly personnel.

Wonderful and true Barcelona's style place with strong coffee and traditional tasty dishes! I really enjoy my breakfast. Place not for tourist but locals!
