MOJITOP.COM is just a group of friends rooted in Barcelona, who would like to contribute to improve the level of the mojitos in the city.
We like to do expeditions in the city, and sometimes we invite the blog followers.
If you have suggestions, you are more than welcome to share them with us too!
We like to "conquer" Bars, which means to visit them and evaluate their mojitos.
About barris, we often visit Gràcia, Poble Sec, Raval and Born, but we've also been to more exotic places like Eixample and Barceloneta.
To explore all the possibilities, we also try out different recipes for mojitos and their variations.
Also from time to time we'll report on curisities related to mojitos, like the mojitos we taste in other cities.
Interviews and stories about interesting people are in this blog.

Lletraferit revisited - good mojito, bad service...

By chance ,with a group of friends we were close to "El Raval" having dinner - so when we decided to go for a mojito, the choice was clear - let's go to "Lletraferit".
So we did...

We even found place to sit, even if we were with a big group. And the mojito was good in the end. But there is a big big but.

The service there was REALLY bad. First of all, they didn't take our order - they gave us a piece of paper and a pen and we had to take it ourselves. That wouln't be that bad if then they hadn't taken almost half an hour to serve the cocktails.

And it got to even worse, when some people in the group decided to leave - they just joined for a quick drink and that wasn't going to happen - and they told the waiter to kill the order. Then he got extremely angry and said that precisely that cocktail was already ready and that if the rest of us wanted to get our drinks, we'd have to pay it anyway.

It was very surrealistic, and we only stayed because----i don't know, i guess we were a bit shocked and didn't react on time, but next time something like that happens to us we will all leave and then he'll have to start thinking of treating clients a bit better instead of threatening them with not serving their drinks when it's only their fault that they're super-slow.

Also we commented about the athmosphere of the place. This time we were sitting close to the door. And it was really bad. Smoke keeps building up in the place, and instead of having a good air extractor and ventilation as it is compulsory - they just opened the door. And i assure you it was really cold at night last saturday. So the effect was good because the air got fresher (it was extremely stinky before) and bad because we got really cold

All in all, a bad experience with a good mojito. Thank god we were there with a nice group of friends and we that we had fun even with this adverse environment.

Personally, i'm not going to repeat the trial @ Lletraferit, even if the mojito was good as ever. The mojito-quality is important - but it isn't everything you look for when you go out for a drink.
