Stefano Cortellaro + ARR de Jaume Artigues i Vidal Review

Extensive range of international books on humanities, in the original language, in the semi-basement. And from inside the bookstore you enter by going up the stairs to the main floor where there is a cafe-restaurant with a sunny terrace in the afternoons of spring and autumn. Boards, culture and gastronomy. With interesting book presentations by its authors, publishers and critics.

What a pity that such a special place in Barcelona is attended by incompetent and unpleasant staff.

Your cafeteria highly recommended. If you want to eat something delicious and have a quiet time, this is the place.

Library very emerged with the added value of the cafeteria.

Relax, escape, tranquility ... what more do you want?

A good place to buy a book, let yourself be advised by its excellent bookstore staff. It is also a great place to have coffee, have a bite and have a quiet chat or read a book in your coffee shop. The cafeteria staff is also excellent. An island of peace, good coffee and culture in the heart of Barcelona.

Sites to search until burn book with a rich coffee.

Good place to have a quiet breakfast and enjoy a good book.

He's very happy, so I'll have a drink and read a book.

The Cafeteria Laie is the perfect choice to be able to talk or work meetings, quiet and very good service.

Perfect for a drink, talking with friends, looking at books .. Very welcoming and also downtown.

A quiet, charming place of an old Barcelona, with books and coffee .... Without hurry ...

The menu is a bit expensive for what it offers, but the service is good and the atmosphere very pleasant.

Interesting books in the store.

A citium where you can read and drink something, great

Fantastic place to eat. Good cuisine and simple. Very good service.

Bookstore and cafeteria in the same place. Quiet atmosphere and ideal meeting point for a chat over a cup of coffee

Fun establishment that is part of a prestigious bookshop. Keep the distribution and the original elements of the house that was previously.
For lunch, the buffet is filled with appetizing salads, vegetables, pasta and an extensive variety of desserts.
Suitable for talks, reading and even studying, with books, all the newspapers and a lot of magazines available to everyone.
It welcomes many cultural initiatives and for that reason it is a meeting place for young writers, social gatherings for the presentation of books, painting exhibitions, live music sessions and other proposals.

It is a very nice place and above all quiet with very correct and fast staff where you are very comfortable.

Quiet site for breakfast or lunch and to buy a book.

A cafe on an ideal indoor terrace, very friendly staff and surrounded by books. What more could you want? (I wrote this a few months ago and scored with 5 stars, but I lowered it to 3 since I was two weeks ago to eat and it was disastrous). As I said the beautiful place and the waiters very attentive but the food very bad, first I asked for a rice that they told me was hot but they served me a dry rice and made a past pasta, inedible, second I ordered cod with sanfaina, I've to say that it tasted good but the presentation already threw me back, a piece of cod with a white mayonnaise sauce on top but cut (totally quartered) to no more power and all very cold, I thought maybe it was served cold but when I started eating the waiter came apologizing to remove the dish because by mistake they had brought me one without heating (Do you really have a good reputation in a restaurant with even the sauces and reheat them when serving? ), I stayed on a stone. They take note of the dessert and at the same time they ask me if I would drink coffee, I ask for a cut and they bring me this along with the dessert, so when I finished the dessert the cut was already cold. Very bad. For 21 that cost me the menu plus the cut (it was Saturday) this left much to be desired.

Fantastic. Laie has been my bookstore for a long time.

It is a quiet place, with a bright dining room and a very complete and delicious 17 menu.

Perfect catering, ideal to browse a book and have a coffee

At first the place is spectacular. A very well worked decoration with a lot of elegance and style. The treatment is excellent from the employees, who make you feel very comfortable and at ease. In short, highly recommended

Lovely place to come to to hide from the sun in Barcelona! The coffee here is always good and there is a nice selection of pastries.

A very special cafe. Great combination between a cafeteria and a bookstore.

They have helped me a lot. And always with a lot of sympathy and professionalism

A traditional bookshop with attentive and knowledgeable staff.

Cafeteria bookstore. Wooden floors, warm, cozy, quiet, intimate. It has a terrace. An ideal place to chat, write or read. A charm.

Very complete library and cozy restaurant and good quality.

I've been there more times and every time it was very good, I like Fridays there

Cozy, quiet, good food, the only price that is almost 16 for a lunch menu, but to go from time to time it is good enough

A unique place, one of those that should never be missed in any city with personality

Great space, great food, well-presented and well-served (with a bookshop attached).

I like it! It is an emblematic bookstore of Barcelona. It makes courses and talks on literature and varied topics

the bookstore very well .... too bad the cafe is closed ....

Unique place, with a splendid interior terrace, and excellent service and food. I loved!

For a quiet break, with a pleasant service and some nice culinary surprises.

Beautiful, good service and quality. Ideal for work meetings or with friends.

Good quiet place to work and have coffee book store below is also good

Reference book, I always find what I want. In addition, cafeteria space on the first floor, ideal for staying with someone and talking quietly or doing a job that requires wifi.

A haven of peace. On the ground floor is the bookstore with a great offer of novels, children's books, illustrated books, etc. On the top floor is the coffee a quiet place to have a coffee accompanied by a cake not a piece of cake and even eat.

Nice and interesting place. Good library-restaurant, and old fashioned atmosphere. Tasty food and good service. Interesting place: a good bookstore at the same time also a restaurant, a little modern style of cuisine and with traditions of products. I recommend that once you go there and order some good tea and also dinner.

It is not very expensive, great value for money ( 15 more or less with starter+main course+dessert). The meat was remarkably good! It still has me drooling and I tend to avoid ordering meat. Apart from main courses, it is a great place to have a coffee or brunch, as their cakes and sweets look tasty, and it is surprisingly quiet. Besides, the place is very cool and you'll enjoy yourself if you love literature and books, because on the first floor there's a bookshop while the restaurant is on the second (and appropriately decorated). It's worth the visit!

Very well.
Cultured environment.
A little bohemian
Reconendable to take something.
The lemonade Laie worse than expected.

Good mix of bookstore with cafeteria, although not quite achieved.

Travel between books of literature, philosophy, politics, ... and to delight the lyrics a cafeteria !!

It's a book store but also a very nice place to have a coffee or a beer. There's a lovely patio inside.

Good place to have a coffee and spend an afternoon working. Edito: in the afternoons it is sometimes difficult to focus due to the amount of people talking ..
