“Excellent date restaurant”
Considered one of the top date-night restaurants, this upscale spot serves fantastic food. It's located in the charming German Village area. Don't miss the zarzuela seafood stew, duck confit, mushroom paella, or my favorite: the Barcelona Tapas Platter with marinated salads, jamon serrano, chickpea hummus, roasted roma tomatoes, spiced olives, and fresh mozzarella slices. Delicious!
