Some nights you just want beer, chocolate, and churros--DO NOT JUDGE ME.
We lost a day of our trip and had to do all of Barcelona in ONE FREAKING DAY. It can be done but you hit the ground at 9 a.m., jet-lag be damned, and you do not stop until Barcelona does. BTW, Barcelona stops at about 5 a.m. the next day. Close to midnight, you need a snack.
Meson del Cafe delivers with cold Spanish beer, cups of thick hot chocolate (not Swiss Miss), and warm churros covered with sugar and cinnamon. I cannot speak to the dinner menu, but I was damn happy with my order.
Service was fantastic. They were busy and they were still gracious, like I was a guest in their home. And the location is perfect, smack dab in the middle of the Gothic District. Place is super cozy and very pretty. We relaxed and enjoyed an hour break and then jumped back into the nightlife!
This was one of the first places we stopped to eat at while we were in Barcelona. We had a beer and chorizo bocadillo. It was absolutely delicious! The bread was perfect, nice crunch on the outside and soft inside. The chorizo was nothing like we've had here in the USA, full of flavor and the right amount to hold us over until our next stop. We followed our meal and drinks up with some coffee, small but powerful! I believe we paid less than ten euros for everything.
It's a small place, been there for decades and exactly what we were looking for. We were trying to avoid the tourist places and stick to the local authentic spots.
Can't beat 2 delicious bocadillo's (Spanish panini type sandwich), two beers, and a nice coffee for less than 10 euros! We had the Spanish chorizo bocadillo. We're used to the Mexican chorizo, this was more like a chorizo flavored pepperoni or something. Delicious!
Yummy churros and chocolate. But definitely recommend the mojitos and the sangria- delicious!!! The gentleman behind the bar is so gracious. Perfect stop while touring Barcelona - and they have a bathroom :).
Currently my favorite Tapas bar anywhere. Simple, small, no menus and no english tourist signage. Great ambiance and near everything. Avoid the tourist junk - come to this restaurant. Extremely friendly staff. However this is not the place to go of you expect english, menus and a rushed experience. Cheap with gorgeous foods and great coffee.
I have eaten here many times over the past few months and can't reconcile a review saying it was a tourist trap. I can't help but wonder if somewhere else was being refered to. It's full of locals and doesn't really cater to the tourist market unlike almost everything in the area.
Idyllic.
I felt this food, atmosphere and drink was great. There was an older man who was working who i saw photos of on the wall, so i know hes a staple of this place, that spoke or pretended to speak enough english to get you to what youre interested in.
This is one of my favorite cafes in Barcelona!! This is supposed to be one of the oldest cafes in Barri Gotic and you can feel the history the moment you step in. You feel like you were transported back in time! The decor is the most charming part of this place. I usually come here for my cafe con leche and xocolata amb xurros (2.90 euros), they are made just the way I like!!!! Rico rico!!! Check it out when you are in Barcelona!
p.s. - they are closed on Sundays. The place is tiny so not recommended for a big group.
We loved everything about Meson Del Cafe--the ambiance, delicious food and experiencing a locals' tapas bar, was really fun. We found Meson our second day in Barcelona and made sure to find it again our last day! Things we tried and liked were the tomato, cucumber, octopus salad, calamari, paella, and of course, the fantastic Sangria, but it was all good. If you are up for some tasty, fun food and a authentic tapas bar atmosphere, stop in and relax. We had no problem communicating with the staff.
Very small place with lots of history the family that runs the place is great very warm people and if you come more than once they start treating you like their family the food is very good there is not a real menu pretty much what you see is what you get and if you want anything special just ask for it and then we'll make it happen highly recommended place in Barcelona I will definitely go back again
Ducked in here to warm up and get out of the rain. Coffee latte with cacao was delicious! I will be stopping here again before the end of our trip. Met 2 of the 3 generations of owners, super nice, inviting and friendly. Thank you for making our first stop in Barcelona an unforgettable one!
Fuimos el día lunes. La verdad que la atención del empleado fue maravillosa. Comimos unos bocatas de jamón ( de excelente calidad) que el mesero se encargó de darnos en pan recién horneado. Se ofreció a contarnos la historia del lugar ( detalle que denota amor por su trabajo) . El ambiente es súper cálido y mantiene la decoración desde su inauguración. Volveremos por el chocolate con churros porque se ven exquisito.
Muy linda cafetería
Atención de primera
Conocer a cuca ,nieta de uno de los fundadores fue un gran honor
Nos contó toda la historia del lugar
Muchas gracias cuca por compartir tanta historia con nosotros
Un placer

Si te gusta el café no puedes dejar de ir a este pequeño "museo cafetero ' que es el más antiguo de Barcelona ( desde 1909) su ornamenta, atención y sabor son los los mejores que he probado en la ciudad, además un precio conveniente. Te paso el dato que la zona Gótica donde está ubicado la cafetería, también esta la pizzería Di Nanni que tienen muy buena calidad relación a su precio ( aproximadamente 10 euros cada una). No dejes de pasar por estas estrechas calles llenas de historia, donde podrás compartir café, vinos y pizza en menos de 100 metros de diferencia.
Es de toda la vida. Uno de los locales con más encanto de Barcelona. Auténtico. El café está buenísimo. El ambiente es formidable. Siempre me he sentido cómoda allí.
Local pequeño y encantador, he ido varias veces y siempre había estado todo muy correcto, era ideal para tomarte una cervecita o un vino después de pasear por el barrio gótico, pero he de decir que la última vez el precio de una copa se vino tinto (sin entrar en reservas ni añadas) y una cerveza (Estrella) lo encontré carísimo y el servicio bastante regular, recomiendo pedir tarifa de precios....no puedo hablar de la comida ya que no he comido nunca en el local.
Un pequeño Café con mucha historia, fotografías y detalles antiguos. Se puede disfrutar de unos churros con chocolate de campeonato mientras escuchas la historia del local
Vermú y crema catalana riquísima. Pero lo mejor, la atención maravillosa de Ana María, encantadora, cordial y súper amable. Volveremos sin duda a visitar esta cafetería mágica.
Uno de los mejores cafés de la zona! Pero no sólo premio a este local por su producto, sino por la atención prestada tanto por Enric como de Sofia, te hacen sentir en familia... Esencia que manca en este barrio. La decoración se conserva como en los tiempos de antes, los hace únicos! Sin duda mi sitio cinco estrella.
Vermuts riquísimos y crema catalana deliciosa, pero lo mejor sin duda la atención que nos dió Ana María contándonos la historia de este café y la maquina cafetera, sin duda para volver y probar más cosas y escuchar mas historias.
Enrique es súper agradable y el sitio espectacular, que experiencia más bonita poder estar en un sitio tan antiguo y especial de Barcelona 💜💜💜💜💜💜
