Amazing food. Excellent staff Came here to have sunday lunch. They had a good deal of a 3 course meal with drinks. We had paella and gazpacho for starter and then had fish and sausages for mains. The portions were huge and the food was cooked very well. The waitress was extremely accommodating to the fact that we spoke little spanish. Highly recommend this place

Had a fantastic lunch at Faisan today. The staff was exceptionally nice to both us and our two small girls, and service was prompt and precise. We had some great tapas, a delicious burger, and an ice cold pitcher of sangria at a very reasonable price. All our food was delicious (our oldest daughter praised the clams in particular), and we probably ordered a bit too much because we couldn't quite finish everything. The portions are very fair. Both waitresses were extremely nice to our little girls, and gave each a toy airplane for finishing their food (even though they didn't, really ). We will definitely come back to El Faisan the next time we're in Barcelona. Thank you for a terrific lunch

Very close to Rocafort metro, chill place. It wasn't busy since I went there at approx. 4PM. Seafood paella was really good though it was definitely for two people so i had to get them to put the leftovers in a doggy bag.
