Excellent food! Highly recommend this gem tucked away and slightly hard to find. Great selection of food with desserts to die for! Pricing was reasonable and I was able to have my first filet mignon since I've been in Spain! Chef/Owner Pau is very friendly and spent a lot of time with us explaining the selections. We felt as if we were dining in his private home! Thanks for a great night Pao!! From Joe's family
Honestly one of the best restaurants I've ever dined in. The host was terrific, the venue intimate and the food out of this world. I can't recommend it highly enough.
This restaurant was exceptional. The food and service left nothing to be desired. This is a great place to take a date or just a few friends to hang out. I absolutely love this place.
This was an incredible dining experience. The host and chef were very attentive and explained all of the dishes on the menu. If you manage to get booked into the restaurant, then you are honestly onto a winner. Book this gorgeous restaurant now!!!
Great restaurant for both food and atmosphere. A must do while here
Adresse plus confidentielle de barcelone mais qui vaut le detour.cuisine originale et raffinee.accueil tres chaleureux grace au chef Pau qui vous amène a travers l histoire de son lieu et ses plats signatures. L agneau de lait revisité tournedos et fondant fromage fin: un délice de saveurs qui reste en mémoires...;)
This was an excellent choice so glad we walked to, got lost, and finally found it. First tip, just take a taxi. Second tip, book at least three months in advance, third tip, do not eat AT ALL before you arrive to fully enjoy. The portions are quite small but the taste is perfection. I could write so much but suffice to say every morsel was cooked to perfection. I had duck, hubby had lamb and Pau & Mark are worth their weight in gold. Well done guys and all the best for a very bright future. Limited seating for 16 hence the reason why booking is a MUST. Just DO IT.
Una elección acertada tanto por la excelente atención como por la deliciosa comida!
this awesome restaurant exceeded my fairly lofty expectations. We were given great translation on each dish on the menu, and the wine to have with it.. thankyou to a great team for a fantastic evening of delicious feasting.....seriously, make the reservation...as we saw well over a dozen people turned away...from single diners to couples to groups of 4....you poor buggers...you missed a treat...hope you still manage to visit Petit Pau one day.
Such a little gem! Fantastic experience! Amazing food. I had the clams to start - to die for! Then the filet of veal - cooked to perfection. Delicious! Thank you so much!
Ci siamo andati insieme ad amici che vivono a Barcellona. Devo dire tutto perfetto, piatti semplici ma sapientemente cucinati. La semplicità paga sempre!

You just have to experience this restaurant when in Barcelona, humility meets complete perfection! Passionate about food and personalised guest experience, we will be back. Just hope this can stay our little secret, but I doubt it!
Amazing Food at great value, highly recommended.
Reservations are required.
Thank you for an amazing evening with delicious food and friendly service. :)
Great cosy romantic restaurant in Barcelona! It's a bit out of the way from the city center, but worth a little detour if you have the time. The restaurant is tiny (seats around 14 people) and it is almost always fully booked so making a reservation in advance is a must.
Your dinner starts with a glass of champagne and bread with olive tapenade on the house. Then we had the grilled octupus salad (excellent) and the grilled aubergines (very tasty) as starters. Our mains were the monkfish with fennel and citrus and the fishermen's stew. Both excellent! The dishes were all very fresh and tasty. They have a little dessert trolley which they bring our after your mains so you can see the desserts and choose what you want. The options were cheesecake, lemon merengue tarte, chocolate biscuit tart or a cheese selection. All looked amazing. We had the cheesecake (jum) and the cheese selection. They also have a nice selection of whiskeys!
Unfortunately this time I did not take pictures but I regret it!
It is not easy to find a non touristy and very very tasty restaurant in Barcelona as a tourist, but I dag and found this gem next to the plaza d'Espana. The menu is in catalan so I used my google translate on my phone underneath the table :). I had the cod and for dessert a little meringue pie. I wish I had taken pictures but trust me that the taste was complex and harmonious. The service was perfect but then, the restaurant was very quiet that night.
This was our last meal in Barcelona and possibly or favorite. Fantastic service and fantastic food start to finish. The owner really makes you feel like a welcome guest in his restaurant. Space is limited so make a reservation just in case. We definitely will on our next trip to Barcelona.
Out of this world! This is such a special find. Hidden away on a side street. Chef Pau is in credibly creative with his dishes. This small restaurant only had 6 tables. Chef comes to three table and talks about his dishes, he's funny and genuine!. Prices are affordable. One of three best meals i have had in Barcelona.
This was our favorite dining experience of our 10 day vacation in Barcelona, and we visited several Michelin starred restaurants!
You could tell Pau was passionate about his menu and about your time there. His English was amazing (our Spanish was subpar) and he took the time to explain each item and its intricacies to us.
As someone with a shellfish allergy, it was no problem at all to find something delicious. The foie was one of my favorite dishes ever (-:
We loved it!
Such an amazing restaurant! We came in after a FCBarcelona game with no reservation- we were lucky that someone didn't show for their table. Pau is the owner and chef of the restaurant. He greeted us at the door with champagne! So incredibly friendly.
Our waitress was also very nice and gave us recommendations for dinner.
The risotto was to die for! His lamb dish was a favorite of the whole trip; the duck and tuna also delicious.
Great wine, limited cocktails.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Barcelona!
Recommend a reservation earlier in the night, but they have a second seating with no reservations later in the evening. The restaurant only seats around 16- so make yourself one of the lucky few!
Thank you Chef Pau for an amazing dining experience. Your skills/knowledge in the kitchen were readily evident, but treating my wife and I as if we were friends you had welcomed into your home is what made the evening so special for us.
This place was recommended, and we walked in without a reservation--and lucked out. Or, as the owner put it, "had a flower in our bottom". We did, indeed, as this tiny place has but five tables and apparently books months in advance. Someone had cancelled, however, and we got in.
Best meal of our entire trip. The owner spoke perfect English (and French!), explained everything on the menu, and everything we ordered was fantastic--from the cava right to the dessert. The prices were reasonable, too -- I was expecting luxury prices, but the meal for two (with appetizers, dessert, and a bottle of cava in addition to the main course) cost us about 80€. My advice? If you're planning a trip to Barcelona, make a reservation well in advance. You won't regret it.
Fantastic place! My husband and I recently visited Barcelona and received this recommendation from a friend. The place is intimate (only 6 tables, make sure to have reservation early in advance) but the atmosphere was very inviting. We were greeted with a glass of cava. I had the foie gras to start and my husband had the rice dish with lobster, for dinner I had the fish and my husband had the steak. The house red wine was a steal for €10 a bottle. Overall a great night! Hidden gem in Barcelona.
This was by far the most INCREDIBLE dining experience of my life. The service and food were SPECTACULAR.
Sensual experience for food lovers. High quality ingredients combined with maestro cooking skills and service. My life feels like a success after dinner at Petit Pau restaurant. Learn and respect the tradition and go crazy innovating was the lesson we learned today. Pau, we love you.
What a delightful experience, I highly recommend this place to all. The food was exquisite, the space was lovely, and the owners both talented, personable and wonderfully charming. Thank you for a fantastic evening!
Excellent restaurant. I loved the octopus dish. The owners were great. They explained everything clearly in the menus. Very clean and quiet place. Would love to go back there one day
I have never left a 5 star review before, but I would leave 6 stars if they let me. From the service to the small space to the food--everything was incredible. Top 3 meals of my life. I highly recommend Petit Pau. Call ahead though, there are only 6 tables. SO good!
This place stands out for its service. The food is incredible (see other reviews) at the price point Expect (35-40 Eur per person), and I have placed it very close behind Somodo (Barcelona) the king in my quality to price ratio ranking. The unbelievable thing about El Petit Pau is that on top of a wonderful meal you get incredible service, something often overlooked in Spain. The cuisine is textbook local, so it it is a very good choice for foreigners wanting to get a top notch taste of Catalan food without breaking the bank. They take reservations only and expect a month wait for weekend dining, 2 weeks for weekdays, and one week for weekday lunch. 6 pax max, but preferred 2-4.
Cannot say enough positive things about this restaurant!! Started off greeted by the owner with complementary glass of cava. He then walks through the menu explaining each and every dish. The atmosphere is cozy, service is superb and food is incredible. The eggplant appetizer is bursting with flavor. The lamb main dish is one of the best I've had. A little out of the way but absolutely worth the trip. Make a reservation ahead of time (they seem to book up rather quickly)... You must go while in Barcelona, would not miss it!

Pequeño restaurante que propone un menú degustación con unos platos variados y bien conjuntados.
El menú se compone de 3 primeros, 3 segundos y 2 postres. Se puede pedir un menú reducido que incluye 1+2+1 platos. También ofrecen maridaje.
El personal es muy amable.
Lo hemos descubierto un poco tarde, ya que por lo visto en junio cerrarán. Quien quiera probarlo tendrá que darse prisa.
Suerte al equipo en su nueva etapa.
Saludos
Fuimos aprovechando que estábamos de celebración. El local es pequeño, pero acogedor. El menú, es cerrado y de degustación, puedes escoger si quieres la versión larga o la corta. Tienen en cuenta opciones vegetarianas y sin gluten. Escogimos la opción larga y nos quedamos muy bien. El servicio es muy bueno, y en algún plato también te lo presenta el propio cocinero. Los platos y combinación de sabores es muy bueno. Muy recomendable!
Ha valido la pena la escapada a las fiestas de Sants para probar la limonada casera y los bocadillos espectaculares que ha creado Pau.
Necesito saber donde compra ese pan tan crujiente!
Una selección de buen reggae sonando por el altavoz de la cocina...
Deseando volver cuando acaben las fiestas a probar el menú 🙌🏻
Restaurante coqueto y extremadamente agradable. Comida de 10. Muy buena gestión del restaurante y trato inmejorable del jefe de sala.
Nos encanto! Volveremos. Vale la pena probar el menu largo. La próxima vez con maridaje de vinos si o si
Muy bien, son muy profesionales. Excelente trato al público, buen asesoramiento y cuidado del cliente.
Restaurante de menús degustación que van variando.
Ofrecen platos variados y raciones abundantes, posibilidad de menú completo(si tienes bastante hambre, ya digo que es abundante) o medio menú .
Muy buena calidad, lo recomiendo 100%

Pequeño e Increíble en todos los sentidos.
Fuimos en Septiembre, un jueves, justo una semana antes contacté para reservar y tenían sitio el 22, así que perfecto.
Ya había leído en varias web las recomendaciones y se cumplieron mis expectativas.
Un lugar pequeño, sólo con 6 mesas, en cuanto llegamos copa de cava de bienvenida y explicación de cada uno de los platos de la carta (6 primeros y 6 segundos).
Escogimos 2 primeros y 2 segundos. Las almejas con crema de leche y ceps, brutales al igual que la butifarra de perol con patatas, huevo y trufa blanca. El bacalao estaba al punto y la "espatlla de xai" se deshacía en la boca de lo tierna que estaba. Sin duda alguna, volveremos a repetir experiencia.
El pasado 1 de julio volvimos a repetir experiencia en este restaurante y hay que decir que aunque ahora Pau ha cambiado la sala por los fogones, sigue estando a la altura de 10. Habían algunos cambios en la carta y aprovechamos la ocasión para probar algunos, como la torrada de brioche con foie y manzana y el magret de pato con fresas y rosas. Por otro lado, repetimos el plato de almejas y el "xai".
De postre pedimos una tarta de queso buenísima. La atención fue espectacular.
Un año más tarde, seguimos repitiendo cena y sigue siendo de 10! Esta vez la ensalada del pulpo, la merluza y la lemon pie fueron los nuevos platos que quisimos probar. Todo espectacular, muy recomendable el pulpo mezclado con sabores cítricos.
Experencia gastronomica recomendable!!!! Producto de km 0 tratado con mucho cariño. Menú degustación con maridaje a precio sin abusos y con gran conocimiento del producto! Ideal para celebrar o regalar!!!
Fuimos hace unas semanas y escogimos el menú degustación con maridaje de vinos. Buenas cantidad, calidad y con diferentes propuestas, en cuanto a los vinos eche en falta propuesta orgánica o ecológica. Servicio agradable, buen ambiente y buena atmosfera. Repetiré.
Una menu muy bien acompañado con el maridaje de vinos ( lo que recomiendo), todo exquisito y servido de forma mas que correcta.
Si que encuentro un poco caro el precio con lo que se sirve ( 100€ 2 personas).
Si alguien me pregunta le diria que vaya, pero que esta un poco por encima del precio que yo pagaría,
Era la primera vez que iba y probe el Menú de degustacion de otoño. Todo estaba genial . Se trata de un local pequeño y agradable. Muy recomendable.
Restaurante pequeño (6mesas) y acogedor, regentado por el cocinero y el jefe de sala. Van cambiando el menú en función de la temporada y los productos de proximidad. Probamos el menú corto, que no nos decepcionó para nada. Repetiremos seguro!
Ensaladas recreativas y kokotxas bien hechas acompañadas de verduras. El mejor plato de pato que he probado en Barcelona. Trato atento y detallista. Buena selección de vino. Petit pero acogedor y magnífico en gastronomía.
Nueva visita a uno de nuestros favoritos. Pequeño local con un trato magnífico y sobre todo buena cocina y excelente producto. Como novedad, probamos las almejas con ceps y volvimos a salir encantados.
Comida exquisita y bien presentada. Local pequeño pero acogedor. El servicio de mesa bien la única mejora que propondría es que estuvieran un poco más atentos a las mesas por si falta bebida, servir el arroz en el plato o preguntar cómo va. El precio no parece tan caro por la buena calidad de la comida.
Aunque la carta es bastante reducida, los platos son de excelente calidad, y el precio asequible.
Pues nosotros hemos disfrutado muchísimo de la experiencia. Hemos encontrado la comida excelente, todos y cada uno de los platos memorables. Y destacar la simpatía y el trato que nos han dispensado en todo momento tanto el chef que nos ha explicado cada plato que él nos traía, como el responsable de sala que siempre estaba pendiente de nosotros. Felicidades Petit Pau.
Un pequeño diamante. 6 mesas, 1 menú, Chef y 1 persona en sala.
De lo mejor de la ciudad. Tanto el servicio, el producto (de temporada) y la elaboración de cada uno de los platos espectacular! Felicidades!
Menú degustación más maridaje ,ambiente y servicio EXELENTE. Hemos ido con mi marido y ha sido una noche perfecta. Hace años que no comíamos tan bien. Cada plato , cada copa de vino nos ha hecho disfrutar .Gracias, Volveremos¡!¡
