Our party of 5 ordered 5 completely different lunches, all which tasted fantastic - salads, pasta, asian, antipasto, great crunchy chips with fine aioli. A huge effort when you see the size of the kitchen that the staff all work so well in. This is a great menu which caters for different tastes, and the staff were all very happy... More

We saw table service being given, so took a seat, after a wait, while seeing the staff inside chatting I went inside to request menus, and asked if we needed to order inside. The waitress told me she would come out to take our order. We waited 15 minutes, there were no tables occupied inside and 3 outside, so we... More

We visited here after my husband had eaten here some time ago. Apparently they used to have a Brazillian BBQ kind of item on their menu - but that's no longer there and the menu has changed a bit. We had brunch there over the easter weekend. The food was good - nothing outstanding - but good value for money.... More

We came here on a Saturday afternoon after the market so it was very busy. I ordered salt and pepper calamari which was fairly expensive for a boring salad and plain calamari that made me gag everytime I swallowed a piece because it wasn't cooked very well. Won't be going back. More

We were only in Hobart for 3 nights, but ate here twice. Walked around a lot, but other places didn't entice us. Food was surprisingly good for such a laid back place. Service can be a bit odd, but fun. Highly recommend. More

This was not my first visit to this restaurant and I just have to say that my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience for the 2nd time. My friend is a local and often eats here but I came over for a visit and remembered how we enjoyed ourselves so much last time that I insisted we go back... More

Barcelona is a good place to get your friends together for drinks and decent meals, but my experiences here have been constantly marred by terrible terrible service. The staff are inconsistent in their service. One time my friends and I were moved THREE times as dinner service came in and tables were booked. Many of their staff have been rude... More

We ask to order coffee at the bar when we arrived and were told to wait outside for a waiter. 15 mins later our order was taken, but it didn't arrive, so we left after another 20 mins. More
