Rustic Catalan grill with standout lamb and beef, generous starters, and lively ambiance; service warmth and reservation handling can be inconsistent, so book ahead and go for the grill-focused specialties.
La Taberna de Lesseps delivers excellent grilled meats and produce-driven cooking that justifies its reputation among grill enthusiasts, but quality varies noticeably between visits—lamb arrives perfectly charred one night, underdone the next. Service ranges from warmly engaged to notably brusque, particularly at the door and in tucked-away seating, creating an uneven experience that prevents grade A territory. A solid neighborhood destination for traditional Catalan grilling when conditions align.
One caveat: Inconsistent hospitality at arrival; walk-ins may be refused even when room appears available
