Restaurante Igueldo

We chose this place for our first dinner in our week in Barcelona and I'm glad we did it. We loved everything we ate here. Definitely recommended. Pet friendly scale 5/5 (We didn't face any problem with our little dog but it'd better to ask before bringing your furry friend)

Hidden gem in Barcelona - a must try without blessing from youtubers The food, service and price are exceptional! Each dishes are unique and can be differentiated from the high star Tapas restaurant.. I was about to wait for the comment wait till home but you just can wait when you had a bad experience in other restaurant Vivo not a while ago. I would feel unfair not offering comment to Igueldo! This is true hidden gem in town - every dishes are well presented and at the best timing - exceptional service that make it perfect when staff got to know very well if you are abt to finish the dish, next then come. The experience started with free appetizer. The very special Beef Bone Marrow, served with crispy toast and salad for just €10 (compared to a coin size red shrimp tartar of €8 each in Vivo Tapas). The duck tartare! Instead of normal beef one! Wonderfully seasoned and with home made sauce! The croquette changes frequently i guess, crispy and full of filling and just €3 ~ what i can complain? Foie gras with beef fillet - we just ordered one for sharing as too full. The exceptional staff well divided the dish in 2 and serve to me and my partners without the issue of sharing! The beef sauce is so nice and meat is soft! It is just €28 Overall, star cant tell truth! it is more than exceptional and particularly service can tell which is the restaurant and chef serve wholeheartedly - particularly after my another bad experience in a tapas rest in town just 2 hrs ago!

This restaurant was such a gem! I had the best dinner here in my short visit to Barcelona. We were a party of 8 and they seated us in a very nice, private room. Every dish was faultless. Delicious anchovy toast, meaty and fresh oysters, high quality jamón iberico, fresh tomatoes, etc. The most exceptional dish of the night was the fish of the day. I forgot the name of the fish (Igueldo, please remind me if you are reading this), but it was flavorful, meaty, tender, cooked to perfection. The steak was also perfect! In Spain, they work with cows that are older in age so the meat could sometimes get chewy but not here! The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned; the beef has a great flavor. The peppers that came with it were amazing as well. Onto desserts, they were all heavenly and not overly sweet. Favorite was the grilled peaches with ice cream. I could tell they work with very seasonal ingredients because all produce tasted amazing! Lastly, the prices were extremely good for this high quality of food (please keep prices the same)! The service was very good, everyone was super pleasant. We can’t wait to visit again!
