Feb 25, 2026"A restaurant just beside camp Nou makes it an ideal place when you are visiting the stadium. Food was ok, the steak was not up to the mark, rest was fine. You can enjoy some good tapas here and enjoy football match. Patata bravas are quite nice."

Jan 28, 2026"El Cargolet Picant serves Tapas for two people for only €15-20. There were a lot of people in the restaurant and it was quite hard to get the server’s attention, so DO expect very slow service! I also got a pitcher of sangria alongside our Tapas; the funny thing was, it didn’t come with fruit, not sure if they forgot or it’s how they really make them. Despite that, I must say they make superb tapas. I’m a huge fan of les tigres (stuffed mussels) and they make an exceptional one here! Highly recommend coming here because it was such a popular and busy restaurant and I also didn’t see a lot of tourists which could mean it’s popular among the locals!"

Had sorbet for desert and it was also delicious. Staff couldn't speak any English but helped them as best they could. Would recommend visiting here"

Loved the cooked chorizo and aioli potatoes Price wise... We spent 90€ on 4 beers, jamon, 4 different plates of sea food and other 8 from tapas menus."
