Frommer's Review

Also located in the thick of El Raval's hub of funky eateries, this is one of the more reliable bets where style doesn't give way to substance. The boho crowd is greeted by an urban-savvy staff, who churn out the dishes from a frantic open kitchen. The quality of the hamburgers here is unusually good (for Barcelona), the salads (nearly always with a fruit or goat cheese) are market fresh, and the pastas (such as salmon and capers) are more than acceptable. Mama Cafe is one of the few inner-city restaurants open on Monday (the only day when fish is not available on the menu, by the way, in case you're a seafood lover).

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
