Les Quatre Gats - lost it's soul, a money machine and other Barcelona, Spain Tourist Trap Tips

Recommended by many in this site the old restaurant Les Quatre Gats was our first target restaurang. With help from a local guy we found the place. Outside the restaurant a gentleman praised their lamb which he had eaten twice in two days. Inside, we were told to wait in the "waiting area" but rather quickly and effectively we were directed to a table and this we thought first was really great. After observing this restaurant for awhile from upper deck we understood that this was part of effectiveness and profit. The 150 seats were effectively filled as soon as they were empty. The staff was non communicative, but correct. We guess there once was a soul in this place, probably nice personell that showed some humour or at least some humanity. The lamb was mediocre and expensive. (The gentleman outside must have an even more mediocre experience of lamb before) We recommend you choose somewhere else to eat.

Alternative: We suggest tapas at the Princessa 23 in Carrer Princessa. Great tapas!
