Los Caracoles

Los Caracoles

Los Caracoles

Los Caracoles a name that might mislead “Snails” for a restaurant with the seafood Paella (14€) as specialty.

 

A rustic decoration that is loved by Catalans that always come to this restaurant. Apart from rice, you can also have many typical dishes like lamb or roasted pig…

 

Delicious and really reasonable. Lots of people: make a reservation!

Questo Sabato sono stato in questo ristorante. Paella Stupenda, buona ed abbondante!! Posto particolare ma molto bello! 50 Euro in 2 con paella 2 calici di vino, acqua 1 crema catalana ed 1 caffè.
Noi ce la siamo cavata con mezz'ora di fila ma ne è valsa la pena!

My husband and I spent two weeks in Barcelona last summer. Los Caracoles was recommended to us as a traditional restaurant, run by the same family for five generations (still true). We loved the snail-shaped rolls and the paella. The steak and potatoes were excellent. It is in the old barrio gotico, very interesting to get lost in! We loved Barcelona!

We ate here five years ago (2006) and had a great meal in this uniquely atmospheric restaurant - with attentive waiters, tasty dishes and good-sized portions. On returning in 2011 we were shocked. The service was slow and sloppy, the food was ordinary - badly presented (plated up), and the portions tiny compared with our previous visit. Yet (of course) the prices had risen dramatically. All-in-all a huge transformation. Whatever happened? Is there new management? This was a great disappointment and spoiled our entire visit to Barcelona.

Restaurant a eviter d'urgence! Accueil insignifiant, petites salles sombres, serveur voulant absolument vous placer le vin le plus cher! Pour info le 1/08/2011, une assiette de petits poivrons frits "padrons", une paella "marisco" basique pour 4, avec 1 bouteille de cava a 16 euros et 3 cafes, 150 euros! qui dit mieux?
Cet etablissement n'est manifestement plus ce qu'il a été, dans la qualité et dans les prix.
Scappate!!!

Condivido il commento precedente e ve lo voglio rafforzare in italiano. Non andate dal Caracoles a fare i turisti da spennare. Spettacolare da vedere per le decorazioni ma talmente stretto e claustrofobico, rumoroso che non te le godi. Prezzi da capogiro e cucinare male. Zuppa di pesce senza pesce e contorno di verdure carbonizzato e chiedono pure la mancia. Camerieri che ti guardano con sufficienza e superiorità e vogliono pure la mancia. Musicanti che elemosinano con insistenza. Ristorante da evitare. Tanto la grilliata mista per cui sono famosi non se ne può assaggiare visti i prezzi, sui 60 euro la portata. E le porzioni non sono per niente abbondanti.
A mistake

In general the recommendations on this web page make a lot of sense. This one is clearly a mistake or the product of some sort of corruption. Los Caracoles is simply horrible. Best to avoid it.

Nous sommes allé manger ce soir dans ce restaurant, le cadre est superbe ( terroir) loin des touristes, planquées dans une petite rue on nous a placé dans une salle dissimulées derrière les cuisines, au premier étage.
La Paella était très bonnes et le service était impeccable.

a recommander

Un restaurant au passé surement intéressant, mais là, quelle déception...
Quand le patron s'aperçoit que nous sommes étrangers, nous sommes immédiatement conduits dans une salle pleine de touristes (ils réservent le bar et la salle à côté de la cuisine pour les locaux), salle où le serveur n'est visiblement pas ravi de nous servir. Un groupe de guitaristes-chanteurs vient interpreter 2 chansons "typiques" et nous tend une corbeille préalablement remplie de billets de 5 e 10€. Côté cuisine, tout est médiocre, trop cuit, trop salé.
Je pense que le fondateur doit être bien triste de voir ce que son établissement est devenu...
Not impressed

Had meal here 2 years ago which was good. Came back again and was very disappointed. Waiters very arrogant, plonked bottle of wine on table but did not pour.Food ok but brought us our main course (fish) on it's own. After several requests for our chips we eventually got them after we had finished the fish. There were no veg. I requested another glass of wine at least twice and got it after meal was finished. I noticed there was no queues to get in even at 830 when we were leaving. Would not recommend it at all.

Our experiance of Los Caracoles

Our experience of the restaurant in February 2008.

We found out about this restaurant in the 'Lonely Planet' guide and booked a table for a special Saturday romantic dinner. We where saving ourselves all day for this meal and where quiet hungry.

The character and service where outstanding.
We had Superbe Cured Ham and Snails for starters and delicious paella as main accompanied with a nice bottle of red whine.
We had a fantastic time and went to rented apartment satisfied.

3 hours later we both where taken by a severe food poisoning with vomiting, stomach pain and everything what comes with it, for the rest of the night and early morning.

Next day we went to the restaurant just to let them know what happened to us. The manager of the restaurant pretended that he doesn't speak english. Only when we r started explaining the effects of poisoning loud, suddenly the manager spoke a very good english and said that it is not them and ask us to leave.

What meant to be our spacial evening and unforgettable experience of the local food turned in to rude ignorant nightmare.

Highly not recommended by us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ate at Los Caracoles when in U.S. Marines in 1971

When I was a U.S. Marine in 1971 I ate at the Los Caracoles. This was an experience I never forgot. I always spoke of my experience there. I saved a post card and put it up in my garage forgetting about it until one day we remodeled the garage finding this post card hanging up on the wall. I would love to enjoy the flavors of Las Carocoles again.
