Merquen - Barcelona

I didn't know anything about Chilean cuisine, but the empanadas we tasted, both the vegetarian and another spicy one that were accompanied on the plate with a small cup of glass with a little onion with a bit of cilantro and something else that I didn't know to identify, really delicious, we also tried a ration of ham croquettes and also a bit of chicken, which when it was well accompanied with some fresh beers. the terrace is minimal but gives you a lot of game. the extremely attentive service

They're all a love! the waitress is super-attentive and the beautiful cooks! super-good wave. all exquisite, go eat your restaurant.

We have been advised by the waitress, and everything was very good! We will try again what we have left.

Fantastic service in merquen. We like the food and everything. We tryed the empanadas and the tapantoni Tapa. We will be back soon

First of all, this is not in El Raval. This is El Eixample. And of course it is off the Ramblas! It is because the Ramblas are not close. Barcelona is a small city, so if you have to walk for 20 min. it means it is NOT close. I have tried to eat at this restaurant twice. And twice they have been closed. No notice on the door saying whether they will open later for dinner, or whether they will open at all. Then, if you phone, there is no outgoing message, just some noise, so you are not even sure anybody is going to listen to what you would have said in case you could at least find out what is going on. I would have made a reservation for six. Alas, there will be NO third try. I' d rather give my money to those who take care of their business and their (potential) customers. Merquen is not it.
