You don't HAVE to love raw fish - but it helps

Advantages: Fantastic food, subtle service, great ambiance
Disadvantages: So understated that it's easy to miss

...It's always a bit un-nerving picking a restaurant in a foreign city even if it's only for a couple of people. When you need three restaurants on three successive nights and want them to satisfy a very mixed group of people (12 to 36 of them depending on t ...

Review of Restaurant Negro, Barcelona

Not Quite The Kontiki Expedition

Advantages: Elegantly served, small menu so everything should be fresh
Disadvantages: Not impressed by the potato 'sticks' or the slightly cold food.

Review of Samoa, Eixample, Barcelona

Heavenly food on Angel Street

Advantages: delicious tastes, helpful staff
Disadvantages: not generous portions, quite expensive
