 Los Caracoles by col_hall6
Well I had to try the snails didn't I. They were very nice and I thought the spit roast chicken was excellent.

Though very busy and crowded, the atmosphere is electric and yet warm, and the food is excellent (don't miss the snails which the restaurant is named for). A little more expensive but worth it-even the wine was superb.

As a curiosity, the walls are covered with photos of celebrities, politicans, and other personalities who have dined there. Rumor has it there's a picture of John Wayne somewhere there. I didn't have a week to look at them all, so I'll take the rumor at face value.
'Los Caracoles' is recommended in most major travel guidebooks. That's probably why we avoided it the first few days. We dont like touristic restaurants! But since the girl from the studenthouse we stayed convinced us, we put our prejudices aside and we discovered that it was just great!
when yiuy are a bit tall you almost will have to to duck to get into the hallway at the back of the cramped bar that doubles as entrance to the dining area. We walked past the open grill area and the aging kegs of wine to our table.
We ordered roast suckling pig and (just in case) roast chicken. The suckling pig was amazing, although it's not the type of dish you can eat very often -- it's quite greasy. But don't miss it! And for the timid, the roast chicken was the best I've ever had. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Address: Escudellers 14.

Tucked away in a cobbled side street off les Ramblas this restaurant makes a great night out. Looks small but goes on for miles.
Excellent authentic Spanish decor, good food and a great ambience.

We turned up on a friday night and wanted a table for nine. It looked jam packed at the time but twenty minutes later we were all seated.
The place is enormous with plenty of space. It has the added attraction of being able to walk through the very hot kitchen on the way to the table.
Typical Catalan restaurant. Plenty of fish, chicken and steaks. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherDirections: Calle Escudellers, off La Ramblas 14 - 08002 BarcelonaOther Contact: Tel 93 302 31 85 Fax 93 302 07 4

There is two entrance to it. The first time we went there we walked into a hallway at the back of a very cramped bar, and then you sort of pass an open kitchen, where they cook paellas etc.
There are lots of celebities picture everywhere....and they must have been there!!!
Roast suckling pig and roast chicken.
Suckling pig delicious but very oily and rich.
Roast chicken is above average - but not the best I have had. The paella is pretty good.
The bread served in the shape of snails (as the name of the restaurant), nice and crusty, and we had snails for entrees which was very fresh.
For dessert, go for their catalan cream...which is cream caramel. It comes in an earthern dish, and has very thin sugar crust. Yum!!!

You will see chicken on r

Watch out for this particular restaurant, it is greatly overrated here.
We were disappointed with the wine, food and the service. Since they serve the meat dishes with french fries, this alone should be a warning flag for all who read this. They even charged us for the cutlery, can you beleive that? And the waitors are to busy to give a smile to the same customers who pay for their wages.
I sincerely recommend Montiel Restaurant for those of you who want to experience a culinary experience in Barcelona, for the same money you spend in this tourist trap, Los Caracoles. You will be able to see and taste the difference.
