Boca Grande

I’ve been coming to the spot for the past 8 years every time I visit Barcelona. In my opinion this is one of the best designed and decorated restaurant and cocktail bar that you will find around Europe, and probably in the world. It honestly deserves 5 stars just for its ambiance and vibe, so thoughtfully designed with amazing ornaments all over. Last night was the first time I actually have dinner there, and to be honest I was skeptical. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the food was of pretty high quality and matched the price point. The service was really good despite the sassy staff with the attitude at the entrance when I first walked in, but they seemed quiet overwhelmed with reservations and became friendlier later (not an excuse but we let it slide every now and again ;)). Cocktails were great as usual. Highly recommend if you are visiting.

Excellent place if you can find a table. Great friendly service. A bit overselling their seafood, but was so worth it. Cozy romantic crowded. Their restroom is out of this world, almost worth a visit by itself.

This place was recommended by a friend of mine. The restaurant decor is beautiful and luxurious, the waiters and stuff were friendly and the food was delicious. We had an amazing experience but it’s very very pricey with small portions in my opinion. It’s a good place for perhaps a birthday celebration or anniversary but definitely not an everyday choice.

What a place!!! The food was unbelievable!! Had the seafood paella, the special pasta of the day(one of the best pastas we’ve ever had) and the filet. All delicious!!! The spinach and cheese croquettes and the stuffed zucchini flowers were amazing!! Had the waiter choose the wine which was perfect! Can’t say enough about Boca Grande! Don’t forget to visit the restrooms, which become a club later in the evening.

Today we had a very bad experience , unfortunately. The interior was nice but that’s all(. Everything begins with blond girl , administrator , she offer us the worst table in empty hall , we ask maybe we can take another, she offer another one, ok it was better. And she just throw the menu on the table. Then I saw small cockroach in my plate , I show it to waiter and she only change plates with out any words. The prices are high , what means quality, but unfortunately not today. We ordered tortilla and two main dishes. Tortilla wasn’t tasty , we stay it all. The main dish for husband included sous aliloly , but that wasn’t note in menu. We ask the waiter from what it’s made , because I know that it’s made on mayo base, but waiter didn’t know it, but then she confirmed it . But husband have allergy on it. We note waiter that he have allergy . My dish was normal. And finally when we ask the bill they account all((( they didn’t offer anything for apologies, and account everything. Unfortunately I can’t recommend that place(. But inside are very beautiful.

It’s a very overpriced and quite pretentious place. HOWEVER their Red Prawns are worth every single penny! They will cost you circa 35each. Simple, full of flavours and something we came back for, after a year, and something you can’t find in other restaurants. If you don’t like the vibe sit at the bar/counter.

We were at the Boca Grande restaurant today, the staff was very unfriendly, they threw a crumpled menu on the table, we had to wait a very long time for our order, although the restaurant was empty, when they brought the order I saw a cockroach on the plate (photo attached), I pointed it out to the waiter, the waiter did not react to it at all - as if it was a normal thing, he just replaced the plate, my dish turned out to have mayonnaise (I am allergic to it), I asked why the ingredients and allergens were not listed on the menu, I said that I was allergic to mayonnaise and that I could not eat it, they simply answered that they were sorry and that was it. Verdict - this is the worst restaurant with the most disgusting service in Barcelona! Absolute indifference to the client, and the prices here, in my opinion, are some of the highest in Barcelona. The day is ruined, if you want to leave a good impression of Barcelona and not ruin your vacation, do not visit this place! In my opinion the rating is 0 out of 10.😔

Boca Grande is one of the must-visit restaurants whenever I am in Barcelona. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from Passeig de Gràcia. The restaurant features a modern classic style with a great vibe. The host management who meets you are very professional and welcoming. The service is generally good and fast, though we did have a small issue. The waiter who took our order seemed either in a bad mood, forced to work, or uninterested in helping. Fortunately, this did not affect our order, and he never returned. Thankfully, Tana arrived, who was very welcoming with a good vibe, and Gala, who served us, was excellent. The strawberry margarita is one of the best I've ever had. The oysters are very fresh and delicious, and the salmon taco is also very good. The seafood soup, a main dish, is fantastic with a unique and rich taste. The sole fish was very good as well. Additionally, they have a terrace on the second floor, which is a cozy garden and a very nice place to enjoy coffee or a drink after your meal. Highly recommended.
