Everything was so yummy here, must visit! Had sangria for the first time, they have 3 colours to choose from, red is the sweetest and fruitiest, and white is the strongest. Personally preferred the red sangria. The baby potatoes were seasoned so well, I don’t know what source and powder they used, it was similar to peri peri salt but better, had a little more spice kick. The squid was tender and juicy, and the pasta rice was creamy and rich. Enjoyed all the food. This restaurant was incredible! All the tapas we ordered, including the daily menu, were outstanding. We started with patatas bravas, ensaladilla, and tomato salad, followed by octopus ceviche, truffle risotto, and chicken teriyaki. For dessert, we had the Crema Catalana, which was the perfect finish. The service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. It’s a popular spot, so booking a table in advance was a great idea. Absolutely worth it! Delicious food and charming atmosphere — best enjoyed in small groups I visited Casa Lolea twice — first with a large group of about ten, and then again the next day with just one friend. The difference was night and day. With a big group, the restaurant struggled to keep up — our waitress was clearly overwhelmed, and the whole experience felt a bit chaotic. It’s not the ideal spot for large parties. But when I came back for lunch with just one friend, it was a completely different experience. We sat up front and had a wonderful waitress who was friendly, attentive, and kind. The food was excellent — the tuna tartare was fresh and flavorful, the patatas bravas (not fried!) had the most incredible sauce, and the pan con tomate was perfectly simple and delicious. The space is stylish and cozy, and when things aren’t too busy, it’s an absolutely lovely place to enjoy a relaxed meal. Highly recommend for small groups or couples — the food and atmosphere really shine when the restaurant has room to breathe.

I ate here in 2019 and got the truffle risotto and have thought about it ever since, so obviously when I decided to spend my 40th in Barcelona- this is where I wanted to eat. I made reservations and mentioned that it was my birthday and Estefania went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. She got us a nice table and even brought by a little desert which was perfect after I stuffed my face with the risotto. We had more to eat than just that, but honestly, that risotto and Estefania’s kindness made my bday dinner the best! Thank you!

Recommend making a reservation here! We loved this restaurant so much we came back twice during our holiday here. ☺️ The service is so genuinely friendly and the food speaks for itself! My favourite stand-outs were the tomato salad, octopus ceviche and small cheese/prosciutto combo and mushroom/prawn combo. 🫶🏼
