“ Fantastic service with excellent food. The gazpacho soup was wonderful and featured all the right flavours. The highlight was the razor clams. The broth that garnished the dish was infused with such complex tastes - completely blew my mind. The whole meal was absolutely on point. Would definitely come back. ”
“ Oussama, our server, was awesome. So sweet & patient with us English-speaking Americans. The food was amazing. Everything was great! Highly recommended this place! The prices are SO reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, especially compared to the US. ”
“ We had a tapas tasting for two and sangria was included. There was a good range of things to try if you’re not too sure on what to get. We loved the chistorras in wine and Iberian ham. Josefina was very friendly and helpful. We found it good value for money! ”
“ Looking for a lunchtime stop off in the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona? There are so many options to choose from but we landed on Nix because it seems to provide just what we were looking for... nothing too heavy with a light drink. The restaurant is narrow and dark in layout which seems in keeping with the location. An interesting range of Tapas was displayed on the menu. However, the range of wines by the glass were less than I was expecting. The food was of high quality and generous portions. The wine was satisfactory, but not to the degree that would be drawing me back when there are so many other possibilities throughout the Gothic Quarter. Nix is well worth a visit as a one-off experience. ”
“ I came back to this restaurant because, after trying a few other places, I’m convinced it’s the best. The food and service are outstanding, and every dish I’ve tried has been delicious—especially the sausages in red wine and the octopus. Luca and Laura are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I highly recommend this place! ”
