The place has a fantastic view over Barcelona. Waiters were very attentive and polite, but unfortunately not one of them was speaking english. Nevertheless we managed at last to order (as I wrote before, they are very friendly). The food was not bad but also nothing special. Very and I mean really very small portions and extremly expensive, i.e. angus brochette were 3 tiny bits of meat with 2 halfs of a strawberry on a skewer, and that for nearly 30 Euro.
I would recommend to go there just for the view, have a coffee and go somewhere else for dining.

une terrasse et une vue sur Barcelone assez dingue... ne pas hésiter!!

The best time to go there is close to the sunset so that you can see the city in a daylight and at night. The food is good, espesially rizotto with mushrooms, spinach and raisins, the waiters are very attentive. No doubt this is one of the best places to enjoy good food with a wonderful panaroma of Barcelona.

I booked a table for two here primarily for the views - and we were not disappointed... we arrived just before sunset and were able to watch the city light up.

However, the food and service did not live up to expectation - and the prices really were extortionate!

My girlfriend enjoyed her starter, but mine was a little too salty - for main we shared sea bass - it was very good, although served with just a handfull vegetables and cost about 65EUR!

Desert... I had creme brulee for 11EUR - it was nice, but expensive...

We had several different waiters serving - all friendly but I did feel that the basics weren't done or not properly at least. For example, it took three attempts and three waiters to get the right spoon for my creme brulee... it's very distracting to have someone coming to the table every few minutes whilst I try to enjoy the fab company of my girlfriend and the views of Barcelona!

Nevermind - with wine it was almost 200EUR and over all it was a nice evening... but as mentioned above - go for the view and order the cheapest food on the menu!! And don't order desert because they'll give you the wrong spoon!

Having visited this restaurant recently, I am well aware of what it has to offer. Despite the beautiful view overlooking the city, I regret to inform you that it has nothing else to offer. The staff were lacking attentiveness, and at one point in the evening the manager came over and outright insulted a member of staff by implying that he was a slave that would do anything he ordered of him. I don’t know about you, but I don’t respect this social status declaration, especially when I am sitting enjoying a conversation with the gentleman who is obviously just trying to earn a living.

Regardless of what the above editor has to say, I completely disagree that the menu is worthy of a visit. In addition, just to top it all off, I suffered from food poisoning for the next week; and as a result ended up forking out 900 euros to reluctantly extend my stay in Barcelona on the hotel room, lost flights, rescheduled flights and so on. Words of advice; STAY AWAY!

View is incredible, and food are really fine... They are getting better and better...

went Aug08 for special occasion. Sat on terrace, damp but warm evening. Food and service very good, definitely go again.

Very mediocre lunch meal...I had a very scawny shank of kid goat that I would recommend avoiding and the other guys were not too impressed with their choices either. The view, the food presentation and the wine list make up for it though...worth a visit, but don't make it your "special meal of the trip". Staff were very attentive and the Tortilla "like grandma makes" starter was excellent, but hey, this is Spain so it should be !!!

Your comment on the Xalet is quite harsh.. The view is incredible, waitresses seem to handle there job now and food is quite creative for this price.. Far better than many others restaurants in Barcelona. My advice: go there it worth it!!

Great view of Barcelona by night.. food largely above the average.. go there..
