Trobador

Correcto. Ideal para cenas de grupo con un poquito más de calidad. Muy buen servicio.

I walked by the Catalunya location on my first day in town. It’s a very cool looking tapas bar with a fun crowd in the heart of La Rambla.
When I tried using my hotel map to come back the next day, I ended up at this location, which had outside seating in a big plaza and looked like it was more for business lunches. Oh well.
The servers were friendly, and I started with a gazpacho that had a small side dish full of diced bread, onions, and peppers. It was very refreshing and delicious.
For an entrée, I ordered what was supposed to be a kebab of tuna and mango. When it showed up, it was hard pieces of lemon, not mango. And the tuna was gray on one side, and completely raw throughout. If it was supposed to be cooked, about 80% was inedible. If it was supposed to be raw and/​or seared, I don’t know why it was mushy and half-​cooked.
I didn’t eat a single bite and let the waitress know. She said sorry and brought the full check. Simultaneously negotiating in Spanish, Catalan and English wasn’t easy, but they eventually took the entrée off the bill.
This place definitely has potential (the other location even more), but I’m not sure how a dish like that made it out of the kitchen.

What seems to be a catalaans restaurant is in fact
a italian restaurant. It is modern. The service is good but no english.

italian restaurant Trobador in spain could not speak english’. ;-)
(A bit above) average price 2009:
14 – 18 euro’s (excl. starter and drinks)

Restaurante elegante y amplio con una bonita terraza a la calle Enrique Granados en su zona peatonal. Comer en la terraza, en verano, es un gustazo, aunque dentro el ambiente tambien es muy bueno. El local en si es viejo, pero esta bien decorado y es acogedor, aunque si te fijas en los detalles es a veces un poco curioso. Los platos, la mayoria, estan muy ricos, pero son algo caros, es un restaurante para tomar un plato único. El restaurante tiene el detalle de ponerte para picar Parmiggiano Reggiano, que no es precisamente un queso barato.
En general se come bien, y se esta muy a gusto.
