"When a restaurant claims it features comfort food, I always have a bit of skepticism towards their product. It's easy to throw together a bunch of fat and carbs into dishes and mask poor quality. That's not the case at DooBop. After walking around Barcelona...all morning, my girlfriend and I worked up an appetite, so seeing a place that features comfort food' sounded very promising. We started with their fried avocado as an appetizer. The sauce, onions, and breading were a perfect mix of tangy, sweet, and savory. We ordered the smoked salmon BLT and their chicken and waffles for the main course. The chicken and waffles is the best dish I've had in Europe to remind me of home. The breading was perfect, and the chicken was juicy. They know how to prep chicken and fry at the correct temperature to get that perfect mix of crunch and moisture. The syrup and jalapenos gave the dish an awesome sweet and spicy flavor. I'm not used to jalapenos on chicken and waffles, but it gave it a complexity not typically found in this dish. They nailed it. The salmon BLT had fresh salmon, and the bacon's texture was impeccable and not too oily. It gave the sandwich just enough crunch and didn't overpower the flavor of the salmon. For dessert, we had a slice of pecan pie that brought me straight back to Texas. The only thing that would have made it purely Texan would have been a scoop of Blue Bell Ice Cream instead of their fantastic in-house ice cream. The service was fantastic, and we got a nod from the chef in the back for the compliments. It's always nice to see humility coming from the kitchen. I hope they keep it up, and we'll be back the next time we come into Barcelona. Also, we're looking forward to the social media updates on when their gumbo will make a return. As good as the food was, I'll take a train ride into Barcelona just to try it."
