"It was and still is the best brunch place in Barcelona. Every dish is a fusion of flavors but the signature dishes that you won’t find anywhere else in this perfect flavor harmony: „tomates verdes fritos“ combined with „croquetas de quinoa“ as starters to share and „huevos rancheros revueltos“ accompanied by a ginger lemonade. This has been my go to place for 14 years and has never disappointed. You need to reserve at weekend as it gets quite busy. They also have a terrace."

"All the ingredients used in their dishes taste so fresh. I highly recommend sharing the strawberry pancakes as a dessert. Their lemonade is also something I would recommend trying. Their coffee isn’t very strong so if you enjoy strong and flavourful coffee I would skip ordering coffee from here."

"The coolest brunch spot in Barcelona. Amazing meals all around. We had the fried green tomatoes and they were awesome. Not quite New Orleans level but very good! The chilaquiles were excellent and the chicken burger was fantastic. The place is busy and I definitely recommend emailing to book a table ahead of time. They respond quickly. The staff is phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back."

"Great little Brunch, Dinner, Cocktails place with a few tables outside and 12 inside. My friend's sister got her Master's degree nearby and she recommends Picnic. She said you can't go wrong with your choices. We had the short ribs (shredded meat) on waffle and the pancakes with strawberry. The waffle was not crispy and the poached egg was slightly over-done and didn't ooze yolk. Everything else was excellent! Eggs Benedict are highly recommended by people here now. Thinnest bacon I have ever seen! The fresh juice is amazing and the kid thought the hot chocolate is the best. Even the plating is so cool. Food looks just like the picture. 4.9 ⭐ stars Service was perfect. No rush, but attentive if you ask. Friendly and nice. Reasonably good prices. We're only visiting a week but we want to come back!"

"If you look for California-style Mexican comfort food, look no more. This place has the best Huevos Rancheros I‘ve ever had. The fried tortillas as a base are just awesome. We‘ve been here twice, so we could try more dishes. The pancakes are so fluffy and the fried tomatoes are genius"

"We got the fried chicken buns and it was phenomenal! It comes with fries and veggies(salad) with an homemade sauce. There were also desserts but we didn’t try them . They also cater to those who are looking for a brunch spot. The service was perfect. Then only downfall was the cleaning side of the place…the bathroom was not well kept"

"Wonderful brunch place with uniquely tasting plates close to Arc de Triompf station. I liked the location- cosy indoors and airy outdoor seating. I got the gambas/shrimp egg benedict and my friend got the pulled pork one. The egg Benedict was too good. The downside was that I ordered Mojito (not on the menu) and it wasn't great. Too much of mint leaves with little beverage to drink. I'll probably try the Cafe liquor next time. The customer service was good and they had English-speaking staff and English menus too for international travelers."
