Destination-style modern Spanish spot with standout tapas, paella, and charcuterie; excellent ingredients and lively vibe, but service inconsistency and occasional portion/value gripes mean best for patient diners.
Casa Petra delivers excellent food quality anchored by standout paella, croquetas, and carefully sourced charcuterie that justify premium pricing. However, inconsistent execution and polarized service reliability—ranging from genuinely attentive to slow and chaotic during peak hours—prevent a higher grade. The attractive deli-market setting and destination appeal position it as a competitive neighborhood favorite worth visiting, though not among the region's most dependable fine dining establishments.
Casa Petra channels a deli-meets-bistro spirit in Les Corts, with hanging hams, a gleaming counter, and a room that feels warm and bustling. Service stories run hot and cold, but many describe servers who are genuinely attentive and guide you through the menu. One diner summed it up: "The room looked like a gourmet shop and the paella sang." The cooking leans modern Spanish without theatrics—think excellent charcuterie, crisp croquettes, silky tortillas, and seafood handled with care rather than show. It is ingredient-driven cooking where ham, turbot, and tomatoes shine, and the paella draws repeat visits. Prices track the quality, so expect a justifiable premium for well-sourced plates, though portions can feel modest on some meats and cheese boards. For families, there are kid-friendly anchors like croquetas, tortilla, tomato bread, and simple pastas that most children will recognize. The menu does not read like a kids list, but flexible sharing and familiar Spanish staples make it workable. If your child needs plain dishes, ask for guidance; on busy nights, patience helps.
