    So many choices under one roof. Do you want fizz and oysters, or tapas, or a fish restaurant? Make sure you do the circuit before you decide!

    I was here for the tapas - they were good - classic ones. But you go for the venue - it is as amazing as it looks in pics.

    Beautiful and spacious venue, good vibes. Better come for a drink rather than food. Usually quite packed.

    This place is gorgeous looking and serves tapas dim-sum style, the waiters selling you on each rich and delicious offering. Fun.

    Prepare for a long meal and settle in for a slow-cooked salted seabass. Head to the bar for some cava if there’s a wait.

    One could be cynical, but it’s not your typical tourist food court. A lot of attention to detail and a buzzing atmosphere

    The looks cute but the staff is rude and unprofessional. Walk in for a visit but go somewhere else for your drink or dinner, because you pay too much to be served by a sad face (and wait very long).

    Stunning bar/restaurant, beautifully decorated. However, tapas were middle of the road. Probably best for just a drink
