We went here 4 times in the 3 days we stayed near by and each time was wonderful. Favorite items we tried were chocolate cream cake, sugar thing filled with cream, Spinach empanadas, and all the sandwiches with ham and cheese were amazing. The bread didn’t taste gluten free it was so soft and flavorful
This place is an absolute must! I am ceoliac and these Are the best pancakes I have had since I can remember. The burata sandwich was also amazing😍 My friend (not gluten free) also loved, loved, loved, the food. I will definitely come back and recomend this place! The staff Are also very nice and effective. The vibe is relaxed and comfortable. 100% recomend!
This is a great spot in La Eixample! We were drawn in by the charming decor and proximity to our hotel, but the food was so good and the service so friendly we’ve returned multiple times over multiple visits to Barcelona. They have options for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans, as well as labeling for allergens like gluten. The staff happily converse in English or Spanish (probably other languages as well) and they’re very warm and friendly. Highly recommend!

I am celiac and I asked if I could eat the sandwich I brought from home (obviously I would have consumed a drink and coffee), they told me no, that they had a gluten-free option, but when asked if the options they had were packaged, they answered no, I told them that there is a risk of cross-contamination and they continued to refuse.
Little empathy.
Oh, and speaking Catalan is not a big deal.
A very pleasent dinner, good ham, cheese, paella and burgers; with dishes ad hoc for gluten free options. The service was polite and carefull, I really loved the guy. A suggestion for the outside, put some flowers in the flower-pots and table centrepieces.
I want to comment on an incident that I consider very serious. I just placed an order for home, and apart from missing a burger (that's okay), I had ordered two gluten-free ones and they were not differentiated from the ones with gluten. We ordered McDonald's because, supposedly, they are one of the companies that best controls the gluten issue. Taking into account that we are talking about the health of a child, I see this as a very very serious failure. I want it to be on record because I consider that this issue is very serious and I have lost the confidence that I had every time I went to a McDonald's restaurant regarding that issue. I repeat, I consider it a huge failure. Thank you
A beautifully decorated restaurant with a great ambiance – you immediately feel at home here. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive. The wide selection of dishes for people with allergies or intolerances is particularly noteworthy.
The interactive menu is a real highlight: You can easily filter by allergens such as gluten, lactose, nuts, and more – super practical and rarely found in this format. There are also many delicious options for vegetarian and vegan guests.
Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit. I'd love to come back!
It's one of our favorite burger places! My partner and I went, and I'm gluten intolerant. It's really cool that they have gluten-free bread options and it's included in the price. The nachos are insane, and the desserts are so good they'll melt your mouth. 😍

El Nacional Barcelona impresses from the first moment with its modernist setting and elegant atmosphere, ideal for those looking to enjoy a unique dining experience in the city center. I really liked the variety of options: you can choose from four restaurants (steak, fish, tapas, and delicatessen) and several bars specializing in wine, beer, oysters, and cocktails, all under one roof. The space is spacious and bright, with architectural details that make it unique, and is perfect for both group meals and a special occasion. The menu is varied, featuring Spanish and Catalan dishes, and there are vegetarian and gluten-free options.
As an area for improvement, being such a popular and central location, it tends to be quite busy, and during peak hours there can be a wait to be seated. Some dishes can be somewhat expensive for the quantity or quality offered, and the service, while good, sometimes suffers due to the number of customers. Even so, if you're looking for an iconic spot where you can try different culinary offerings in a spectacular setting, El Nacional is a highly recommended option for a unique experience in Barcelona.
