after 3 nights of tapas, I just really fancied a plate of food served to me in 1 go! A spanish colleague had been here before so off we went. Pleace was nearly empty on a balmy summers evening, so plenty of attentive waiters for our table of 12. Wine was basic, beer was German and the food was plain... More

to friends when visiting us in Barcelona. I believe their choice of typical dishes is great and the prices are good, especially if you're on a budget.

My husband and I came here on the recommendation of a friend from Barcelona and after having checked the reviews on trip advisor. Each of the Mussols seemed to perform differently so we made sure we went to this one in particular as it seemed to rate the best. The food was pretty average and nothing special. The meal itself...

We were excited to try this restaurant our first night in Barcelona. The waiter was not friendly, but was efficient. The atmosphere was agreeable and the menu is large and in many different languages! However, the food was just okay. We started with the appetizer of Mashed Potatoes with Traditional Sausage and a Fried Egg, it was tasty but greasy.... More

My wife and I wandered into this place looking for an early New Year's Eve dinner(5pm). We were attracted by the clean smart decor indicating a place that was successful. We were very pleased with everything we tried along with an inexpensive wine recommended by our waiter. I agree with most of the other reviews and would recommend a visit.... More

My partner and I ate at Mussol twice while in Barcelona for 4 days. Both times were fantastic! Great selection of food, and really decent prices, with entrees from 4euro and mains from 10euro. The staff were very friendly, and the food arrived very promptly. The menus were in a variety of languages and all staff spoke english. If you... More

This is a clean, centrally-located place I would bring my friends visiting Barcelona if they really wanted to sample some Catalan cuisine and wines. A bit crowded at times, so may have to wait a bit if you want to have lunch at 15 on a Saturday, as we did. It is definitely meat-oriented, though vegetarians will find salads and... More

this restaurant used to be very good, whith good local food, now it is degraded to a chainrestaurant whit limited choice. Even the pan tomaquet was degraded. Ok the staf was friendly and the location is conveniant . my suggestion: go elsewhere.
