I went to this restaurant twice (including the last night of my holiday) because it was so amazing. I recommend that you book because it can get busy - we booked for 8pm the first time though forgetting that this is very early for Barcelona. We made our own fun though :-). The second time we went we booked it... More

We had read some great reviews and dropped into Picnic. It was sunny and May Day, and Picnic was vey busy. It didn't take long to get a table, and we ordered a mix of delicious, unusual dishes. Very tasty, good value, nice location and excellent service. Definitely worth a visit. .

This place is always packed and there's a simple explanation - the food is great (especially the eggs benedict and fried green tomatoes) and the Bloody Marys are fabulous. Without question the best spot for brunch in Barcelona (which is why you may want to book as it can be quite tricky to get a table - especially at weekends).

I recently had brunch at Picnic with my husband and 15 month old daughter. We showed up without a reservation on a Sunday morning but were seated right away. I was extremely satisfied with the service (they were very accomodating to our little one- bringing her crayons and paper and delivering her food first) as well as with the food.... More

Picnic is a good spot to go to if you are looking for an American-style brunch. It is the only place to find decent french toast and the fried green tomatoes are awesome. You have to make reservations, and don't order the coffee. It is always cold and not very strong. But the rest is fabulous. A little pricey...but it... More

There isn't a single local authentic dish on the menu of Picnic, but that's okay, because people go there for brunch and their expat/tourist/foreigner menu. Everything I've had has been quite tasty and I would recommend it on that alone. The problem is the prices. They've had a few favorable reviews since opening and the prices have steadily crept upwards... More

I'm hard-pressed to give a place like this five stars just because I loved my meal. That's misleading for a modest restaurant that does what it does at a superior level. But I have to agree that this was an oasis, especially for an American. The chef/owner is Australian, and it was a real treat to find this place. We... More

We went for brunch and really enjoyed it. The pulled pork sandwich was great, and eggs benedict too. Not too big portions though.

We were pleasantly suprised when we decided to take a break from our adventures in Barcelona and set our sites on the quaint downtown restaraunt Picnic. The staff welcomed us with open arms and seated us promptly. The eclectic neuvo menu offered a mouth watering array of fresh foods from around the world with a Spanish twist. The staff recommended...
