Bro, Balluard 34, Barcelona, Spain



No frill Burger/sandwich joint, had the cheeseburger with bacon and salad, tasty burger served in a nice fresh bun, good value at around 6 Euros, the Fries were more like mini roast potatoes but tasty, and all served quickly with no fuss, my partner had the Mexican Burger which also got the thumbs up.

La Cala, Reina Cristina 2, Barcelona, Spain

As this was just a stones throw from our Hotel (the excellent H10 Port Vell) and our feet were well worn from a days exploring, we thought we'd give this place a go (plus they were showing the Madrid Copa Del Ray match!)

The Pizzas looked good value at just under 10 Euros, so I went for the Cheese, BBQ Sauce and Bacon, came out in good time, a good 12" beast, piping hot, smelt great, and tasted even better. Managed to get down three quarters of it, stuffed and well impressed, service good too, friendly without being in your face.

 My Partner has a Spag Bol, which she rated very good too. Cheap cheerful and tasty food.

(only minor minus point was the obligatory obnoxious loud mouth from Essex/Kent watching the football who felt everyone was interested in anything that spewed out of his weazelly mouth)

Makamaka, Passeig de Joan de Borbo, Barcelona, Spain


Popped in here for a drink and glanced at some of the meals being dished out which looked delicious, read some reviews on Trip Advisor so we gave it a go, and boy, we weren't disappointed. We both had the Big Maka (cheese and bacon burger) asked for two lots of fries, the waitress suggested we just order one portion, very thoughtful in retrospect!

Gorgeous thick beautifully cooked burger, loads of tasty bacon and cheese, lovely fries with skins on, plenty for two, friendly attentive service from all the lovely staff, I can't recommend the place high enough...

Restaurante Simpreviva, Paseo Joan de Borbo,Barcelona, Spain



Really should have read the reviews before wasting my money here. Ordered a large beer which was like something from the Munich beer festival, but at 10 Euros it should have been!

Food wise I though Chicken Paella, my partner ordered the same, took an age to arrive, we were charged an extra 2 Euros for some reason as it was served in one large dish, rice was nice, Chicken was appalling, small pieces pathetic miserable portions on the bone, more like Pidgeon!!

44 Euros for two meals and two drinks and a 10% service charge thrown in to add insult to injury.
