Birthday Dinner in Barcelona!
In about 3 weeks I'm heading to Barcelona for the first time with a group of 5 friends. We are arriving late in the evening on a Sunday that is our friend's birthday and we want to do something or eat somewhere that will be memorable for her.
We're renting an apartment in Born but we're willing to venture out a bit. We're not looking to do anything too expensive, but we all love to eat and drink. We were thinking maybe someplace to eat with a view of the city or maybe just a small place where all the locals go that has great tapas.
Any suggestions would be welcome so that we can make her birthday a great one!
The Chalet in Eagle Rock
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We ended up going to The York and then to The Chalet and had a great time.
I had called The York in advance to let them know we would be a party of 10-12 and they said that if we wanted to reserve a table for more than 10 we needed to commit to spending $300. Even though that's not a lot per person, I wasn't sure that everyone would be eating dinner, so we just tried our luck.
We got to The York around 6:45 and a whole row of tables were open. So we pulled them together and it worked out perfectly. We ended up having 16 people show up and we were all able to sit together. The food was great. It was most people's first trip to The York and everyone loved it.
Then we headed to The Chalet and it was a surprisingly slow Saturday night, which was perfect, because we were able to take over the area in front of the fire place.
Overall, the night was a huge success and the birthday girl had an awesome time.
The Chalet in Eagle Rock
Thanks everyone, these are some great suggestions. From what you've all said Colombo's sound like it would work well for our group. I'd love to do Casa Bianca, but I am a little worried about the wait. A co-worker also suggested The York, saying it's a little further away, but that it might accomodate a larger group better.
The Chalet in Eagle Rock
So, I'm planning a birthday night for a friend and she wants to end the night at The Chalet in Eagle Rock. We're probably going to have a group of 10-15 and want to find a place to eat beforehand. Does anyone have any good recommendations for restaurants in the area?
