Food hallen concept spanish style. The big space is beautifully decorated. In the center three island for tapas and drinks, all around different spot for dinner with traditional cuisine from Spain

Bianca

Very interesting and alive place. Tapas were a disappointment (fish from tin, not many fresh options). Cocktails were also a tentative, rather than tasty. So don't expect much and you will have fun ????

Valeriya Osipova

Great oysters bar deep in the middle of this area. Good meat at the left side from the entrance (better to make reservation here). Awful fish-restaurant the last one at the left side.

This is a neat food court / tapas story for people watching , but...not a great food experience. Nice to see and have a drink at peak hours

Channing Garcia

Lovely! This place offers 4 different types of restaurants in one. Bars in the center with gelato as well . To my knowledge they served fast food type, Italian, seafood , then finally my fave meats!

Nico Cardone

El Nacional is a former parking lot in the fancy shopping street "Passeig de Gràcia". It is not just one restaurant , there are several within the same hall so you can pick the one you like. Very good!

Melissa Samaniego

It’s a really good place to try local food you have a little it of everything here opens from 12 pm to 2 am you can eat and have a drink they have several little restaurants inside

Thomas Cesa

The system at la taperia inside el nacional is great! The waiters just shout the tipes of tapa and you raise your hand if you wanna have them. Its a must go!

Shelby Woow

If you've ever been at Eataly on NYC you are gonna compare this place with it and gonna love it! They have different kind of restaurants so you can choose depending of your mood!

Wilson Favre-Delerue

F&B reconversion done right: superb architecture , delicious restaurants and bars , fabulous produce, fun ambiance. Worth tackling the crowds and evening waits for.

Coco Cat

La Llotja for seafood is very tasty. Decent portions. Friendly staff . Book a table on the weekends as it gets really busy. El National is a market with multiple food places

Bonnie Wong

Must come for the most glamorous foodcourt - impressed by the red prawns at La Llojta!

Eni Paloka

great location with various selections of food. choose tapas el cante, delicious food, fast serving and fresh oysters ????. before you leave the passage do not forget to take a a scoop of ice cream .

Carmen Lawrence

Beautiful, unique interior, former parking garage , full of trees and plants. Nice and cool inside on hot summer days. Wide range of bar/food choices, good WIFI , spotless bathrooms . Recommend!

Matteo Penzo

Like a Mercado. But whiter and cozier. Go for the small bites bar at the entrance for the best experience.

Rafael Marin

What an amazing place! The building is outstanding, full of life and a huge variety of food. This time I went to the tapas section. There are waiters calling out the hot tapas they bring!

Lívia Neffa

great food, kind service and amazing decoration. loved it and want to go back there to try the other restaurants (went to the seafood one: la llotja).

Kate Turner

Stylish 'gourmet food court ' off Passeig de Gracia. Great decor. Choice of bars & restaurants serving meat, fish & tapas . Bit overpriced for portion size. Better for a glamorous drink.

Alèxia Solé

A big modernist space with different restaurants and kinds of food: there's an oyster bar , a cocktail bar , a fish Rest., a BBQ Rest., etc. It's kind of posh and fancy .

Andre Rauch

A must go restaurant in Barcelona, 5 different restaurants within a restaurant , the location itself is already worth visiting, doesn´t matter which one you try, the food is amazing.

Maria Kocourkova

Amazing place! But the seafood restaurant can refuse to seat you even if they still have available tables (didn't get it, they just told us they closed for now, come in hour)

Layla

Great paella in La Llotja! The design of the place with its different stations is amazing and creates a luxurious atmosphere.

Sarp Erkaya

Very cool spot, amazing decoration;lively , trendy and good food. Bunch of restaurants/bars all under one roof. It's like "Eataly" for Spain. Speat? :)

andy chang

Went to Brasseria and they have excellent steak , but if you get a waiter name Khalid, ask for a new waiter ! He will ruin your experience in this wonderful restaurant

Tanner Christensen

Good drinks, but the food leaves much to be desired. Bad oysters , good smoked salmon . Try any of the special cocktails , like the Azteka, or go for the classic Manhattan or other bourbon drinks.

Ares Riggins Jr

Lovely atmosphere. Enjoyed the fried oyster mushroom , the garlic shrimp was delicious, and the lemonade and red wine was delicious.

El Nacional has been one of the latest additions to Barcelona’s culinary scene since the end of 2014. Settled down in a 3000 square meter parking lot, El Nacional gives home to a variety of.. Read more

This place is so nice and pretty chique. A lot of bars and restaurant in this place and seating goes pretty fast. Nice cocktails too!

Mi Mundo

A fancy restaurant under the big roof of refurbished architecture often over crowded .Here you can find anything from oyster to warm dishes. A glass of cava from €5,a la carte from €18.Open till late.

Hester Brandsma

La taperia for their amazing tapas !! They bring new stuff from the kitchen every 5 min and you can just take it if you like it!

Mary

Really neat restaurant that has different sections serving different food. From tapas to brasserie , wine bar to oyster bar , there's something for everyone!

Julia Oso

Don't.To expand on it, the food is not worth the hype.Do yourself a favor & choose any of the 100s of amazing places in BCN.Come for a drink to enjoy the interior before heading for a real meal though

Abdullah

Although it has many restaurants , I think it's better to go there for coffee or dessert as the atmosphere is ????????in the evening

MG

Easier to eat in one of the stool bars in the middle, as the restaurant might pretend to have reservations .... Pay a visit to the restrooms !

Abeer Al Semari

Well Done Stake So Delicious ???????? The Best stake in Barcelona ????????????????

Andrij Krochak

The ambiance and architecture is amazing and unparalleled here! So many great and quality places to try!

Diandra Kusumawardhani

The place makes you feel like royalty. Go to La Taperia , you can get cold tapas from the waitress , but for fish tapas you have to wait for the boys to come around and offer you gambas ! gambas !

Tania Ulloa-Malave

The ambiance, the seafood restaurant ....the red tuna !!! Everything was amazing. I was in love with this hidden building!

aboutplaces

Try the El Nacional cocktail - gin , lime and cinnamon . The bars stay open until 3am even though it says it closes at 1 :)

mundi salmanovici

Great atmosphere,good food, prime location. A big variety of Spanish dishes. Take a walk inside the building, what once was a parking .

Diego Sartori

Simply amazing, from interior to food. Come here for a snack , a drink, or a full meal. The tapas place is cool.

Ceyda Kaptan

Don’t miss this wonderful place for a drink or a meal. All coctails are great!

Looks like a spacious greenhouse with different restaurants inside. Very cool! Fish restaurant is amazing! Go early to avoid queues or just go for a drink.
