Super busy place, staff was very friendly, and the lighting made the place look very cozy. we ordered the creme brûlée, the chocolate and the churros, then a foie gras cheese toast. The chocolate is very rich, and kinda bitter comparing to the ones we had in other places, but they put a ton of sugar on their churros, so it balances out, only when u drink the chocolate by itself, it's not that good, prob the one with whipped cream on top is better. The crème Brûlée has a very awesome layer on top, and it's BIG. It's very very cinnamon-y, im not a big fan of it. The toast was not good in my opinion, but my partner likes it in the end.
Outstanding cafe in Barcelona Highly recommended Grilled panini, Churros, Cappuccino were all stellar. Service was fantastic Comfortable seating Adorable spot
We walked into this time machine well into the golden years of when food wasn't just food but well curated with phenomenal service. I had the cream on the cocoa lat and boy was it so heavenly. We came back for the chocolate which was very rich and tasty. The waiters are so charming, and fun! We'll return to Barcelona just for this even if we toured everything in the city!
Churros, lady fingers, chocolate, sandwiches, yogurts, cheeses, and cremes. About average compared to other churro shops in the area but it has plenty of seating and restrooms.
Las Ramblas can be tiring and you may want something to pick you up mid-day or as the sun goes down. May I suggest Granja Viader, they've been around for over 150 years, mind boggling, I know!! We came here twice (similar to Cuitat Comtal) because we loved it so much the first time. By the way, don't go for the free churros at your hotel, save your calories for coming here because you won't be disappointed. The churros were crisp and nice and hot. This was perfect with our hot chocolate with whipped cream. I'd skip the lady fingers (Melindros cookies), they were fine but didn't strike me as being special. Now the Crema de Catalana was spectacular, with that hard top shell of carmelized sugar and the not too sweet cream underneath. The flan with whipped cream was very good too, so I would have that as well. I love the ambiance and the feeling of tradition and greatness whilst eating here. Not too far from Las Ramblas, just a few turns here and there before you find yourself staring at a dessert GOAT..
Granja M. Viader is a classic café that has been an anchor in this little alley near La Boqueria market. This mainstay shop takes care of you in the mornings and even has a deli with sandwiches. The xurros here are crispy and just the right amount for breakfast. Take care to order a cup of the hot and thick dark chocolate and whipped cream. Your xurro will thank you for it. Or rather, your stomach will thank you.
Decided to stop in after eating at la boquería as I was originally looking to get some coffee. Happy to have found this place as it is just off Las Ramblas and was not too crowded when I got there in the morning. Once I arrived, I was promptly seated with a menu, and ordered an americano and crema catalana which came out within a few minutes. The crema catalana tasted just like a big creme brûlée and I liked the fact that it had a nice spice/cinnamon kind of taste in there. The brûlée part was nice and crisp and offered a nice balance in texture to the cream. Perfect complement to the americano which I drank straight. Noticed people eating churros con chocolate so I'll prolly have to try that next time I'm in. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back when in the area.
