"Pinotxo Bar is one of a few eateries in the always-busy boquería, and depending on who you speak to, it's considered to be one of, if not the, best tapas spots in the city. The place is run by local celebrity Juanito Bayen, a charismatic guy who's never seen without a service-like vest and bowtie. There's no formal menu, so you'll order via a back-and-forth with Juanito to arrive on a few dishes—it can be a little confusing, but trust us, whatever arrives is guaranteed to be delicious. Wash it all down with fresh cava, which is always on ice and within arm's reach. Unfortunately, word's out about this place—it's best to arrive early and expect a wait if you want a seat at the small, 14-seat bar."

"Barcelona's best breakfast is found right here, by the entrance to the legendary Boqueria market, where Juanito Bayen, sporting his signature bow tie, dispenses tomato-rubbed toast and pristine grilled rock lobster and salt cod croquettes to vendors and hungry shoppers." - Food & Wine Editors

In the market, I liked it a decent amount, just had better stuff at other places -- the guy who runs it, Juan, is so sweet though. Worth checking out the market and if you're hungry, having a bite.

This is our first meal in Barcelona. It was a good start of our journey. Every dish we had was fresh and delicious. One of staff speak English well, he is excellent at the recommendation. After we tried some dishes, we asked what else we can order, he surprised us with one meat and one seafood dish. We end up having 11 dishes for three of us, total costs is 134 euro. We enjoyed this meal very much!

The food and service is incredibly good. I forgot to take pictures of the prawn omelette, it was perfect 🤩 This fish is a must and the other plate is wild mushrooms with 3 different types of sausages. Can’t wait to be back. Salute to the chefs and the rest of the team.

Love love love Pinotxo…. They changed location but it is well worth the walk to a more local neighborhood. My all time favorite are the clams, razor clams, and sausage. Everything was so wonderful and if you come across their specialty brand of olive oil lug it back home for sure.

We liked some of the tapas there especially the chickpeas. But the beef cheek was super fatty Service was great.

Delicious breakfast postres and lunch pintxos and tapas with great coffee and a solid bar. Excellent cuisine, attentive service and a lovely atmosphere within the historical Mercat de Sant Antoni both of which seem to have been here since forever.

This is such a great restaurant in the Sant Antoni Mercat. The food is excellent. The wines are very good and the prices are reasonable. This is a tapas place, so portions are tapas sizes. The fried monkfish is one of my favorite dishes in Barcelona. The chiparones with beans is also an excellent dish. It gets quite busy, but one can usually get a table or bar seats between 11:30 and before 1:00. From 1:00 to 2:30 can be busy, especially for large groups.

Great spot inside Sant Antoni Market. Great service, fresh food, and nice environment.

Brightly lit, counter service with a couple of tables, the cava (rose) and food here is top-notch. I enjoyed the garbanzo beans and butifarra.
