This is the place to eat baby goat. Everything else is terrific as well. Near to Las Ramblas, the exterior does not belie the superb restaurant inside (notice the original Picassos and Miros). It is a little on the pricey side but well worth the great foody experience.

Wife and I were treated to fantastic, authentic Catalonian meal. The owner and wait staff were welcoming and helpful. It appeared we were dining with the locals. The food was fabulous and the experience was perfect.

I went there to celebrate my 30 years birthday and it was a very good way to enter my new decade. The food was delicious, the prices very resonable and the staff very service minded and funny. Together with old Ca l'isdre they created a very warm and good atmosphere. I think we were there for 3-4 hours and every... More

We were greeted by Pep, the English-speaking maitre d' who confirmed my email reservation. The dining rooms (2) were filled with tables of Spanish-speaking patrons and we were shown to an intimate table with an original Salivdor Dali painting above our seats. The atmosphere was traditional and elegant. Our food was all prepared beautifully and service was friendly and respectful.... More

We had a very nice evening at the restaurant. The food was very good and the service was excellent all the way from the booking to the taxi back to our hotel. We can indeed rekommend this restaurant.

My wife and I had another very good meal when we dined at Ca l'isidre in November. Although there was a very large party in the restaurant, our food was very good and the atmosphere and service were fine. We will certainly consider returning the next time we are in Barcelona.

Took my partner for his birthday last year after reading about the restaurant on Tripadvisor. Not much to look at from outside in a little back street of Barcelona but more than made up for it inside. Amazing service, incredible food and a wonderful experience of fine dining Spanish style. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for... More

I used to go to isidre with my father whenever we came to Barcelona to watch Barça play Real Madrid. This year I wanted to go back in his memory. This time I came with my wife and our two (very small) children, and although this is not the best place to come with kids, the owners and staff were... More

If you're looking for an inexpensive place this is not it by any means. It is one of the finest restaurants we've every frequented. We have gone there twice in the past and friends have visited as well. Do not be surprised if one of their chefs comes out to see if you're satisfied or to help you with the... More

We read somewhere that King Juan Carlos likes this restaurant, so we had to go there when we visited Barcelona in March 2011. Anyway, overall the restaurant is very good. We enjoyed the suquet, which is catalan seafood stew and the lamb. The veal cheek was nothing to write home about. They had a special dessert that week that looked... More
