El Nacional Barcelona

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.

It's okay if there are no vegans or celiacs in the same group. Each restaurant inside has its own specialty and does not satisfy everyone. Nice atmosphere but the quality of the food leaves something to be desired.
