Stopped in before they opened and put our name in. Did a little shopping and went back for a great lunch. The meatballs are my favorite but I'm really liking everything we ever get here. The mushrooms in wasabi sauce was good, with the little strawberries mixed in. The roast beef, also good-it comes cold. The special grilled artichokes with romesco sauce were amazing!! The croquettes were tasty, we got ham and mushroom. We left very satisfied and not over stuffed. Great lunch, good service. In and out quickly, even though they gave us until 2 PM, we were out 45 minutes early. read more

Great tapas. Our favorites were the mushrooms in wasabi sauce and the Russian salad. We had better tapas down the street at Bodega La Puntual, but these were still good. read more

Tapas were excellent. The eggplant with honey was delicious. The service friendliness can vary, even when speaking Spanish.

We stumbled across this bar on the way back to our hotel and it was so packed, with people waiting outside to get in, we knew we had to try it. It's a very small space but since it's tapas, the wait isn't super long. We waited maybe 15 minutes and got 2 seats at the bar. The food was delicious and the energy was true Barcelona nighttime energy. It was such a happy surprise and we were so happy we finally found a place that wasn't touristy. Highly recommend. read more

One of the top tapas bar in the area. We're very accommodating although we didn't have a reservation. Best patatas bravas so far in Barcelona. But all the dishes were on point but a little on the heavy side. I would definitely pass by again next time I'm in Barcelona read more

My heart is broken. After many years of visiting this wonderful restaurant, I returned after 5 years to find it a pale imitation of its former self. Gone was the wild creativity. Gone was the great flavours in unexpected combinations. The wonton of foi, the oxtail, the squid ink croquette are all gone. No pistachio roll cake for desert. Even the famous Wasabi Mushroom salad was missing its sparkle. The duck cannelloni seemed hastily arranged, no subtlety or any thought given to the texture. I'm sure Bar Del Pla can one day return to its former greatness but today it's simply missing the magic and creativity it once exemplified. read more

Locals spot for sure. If you're an over weight American with a southern accent, you may not get seated as this delicious abode caters to locals or tourists who speak spanish or look local. The food was delish to the very last morsel & the vermouth cool perfection for only 3 euros. Loved the energy of this place. read more

Where do I begin? The best places are often the small, unassuming ones, and Bar del Pla embodies that perfectly. Though it's small, it has a very cozy and homely feel. The atmosphere is laid back, the tapas are impressive, and the wine selection is extensive. The service is consistently excellent; the staff knows the menu inside out and can expertly recommend wine pairings. During our stay in Barcelona, we visited Bar del Pla at least three times in four days--that's how good it is. Now back in Miami, I find myself wishing we had a little place like that here. I miss it and can't wait to return. read more

amazing tapas, would 100% recommend! The carpaccio beef was amazing and can't go wrong here.

Bar del pla used to be good. We've been coming here for a few years now and this is probably my last time just because I see the way this restaurant is headed. After it started getting busier service changed. Service is Bad! Bad attitude and little customer care or attention. Food that never came to our table do to waitress errors and no cares.... usually, I don't care about some mistakes, but this was so bad.it is unacceptable. I know my reviews may not make a big impact, but I hope to reach people who run this business and have them see what it is going on with their employees towards customers. The food is still really good. So I guess sacrifice service for a good meal.... may be Not. Never again bar del pla. read more

My favorite tapas place I tried hands down. Literally the best patatas bravas. The steak tartare was amazing v the oxtail: amazing. The spinach and cheese croquettes AMAZING. the mushrooms with wasabi was such a pleasant surprise. I would try everything on their menu. The only miss for me was the tuna tartare because it was a little too fishy in my opinion. Otherwise, great food, amazing service, very affordable pricing, lots of natural wines to try, and great vibes. Definitely stop here if you're in Barcelona. read more

This was one of our best impromptu stops in Barcelona. We left the Picasso museum and it was raining so we found the closest bar/restaurant. What a find! We had a great bottle of red wine - Femme d'Argeni. We also had the tomato bread (the best one I've had one this trip!!), sea bass ceviche, and mushrooms with wasabi sauce. All of it was amazing! Highly recommend! read more

As a vegetarian on vacation, it's been easy to eat all over Barcelona. At the very least, potatoes, gazpacho, tomato bread, and veggies are everywhere. However, Bar del Pla was such a delight!! The tomato bread and patatas bravas was good....the gazpacho was excellent!!! Nice texture elements added to it. The amazing dishes though were the zucchini flowers, mushroom with wasabi, and Eggplant made without the sardines. They were all AMAZING!!! I will definitely be back on my next trip through Barcelona read more

Ok people, Listen and Listen Close! If you happen to find yourself in Barcelona (say it with lisp) or don't say it all... Hop on over to Bar del Pla. While visiting this beautiful city back in April 16', we had to kill sometime while waiting for our call time reservation at the Picasso Museum up the street. We decided, why not get a little tapas and vino into our system and live like the Spaniards do! We walked in and were graciously seated at the bar and we let the good times roll. Patatas Bravas...Check Croquetas de jamón...check Assorted olives & Deep fried artichokes...double check Spanish Red wine...priceless! Not sure what it is, but Europeans, specifically the Spaniards know what they are doing. Food Prices are cheap, the wine is great, and they do not rush you or bring you the bill until you ask for it. Life here is easier, less rushed and the experience pays for itself. If you find yourself in this part of the world, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Come in happy, guarantee you will leave happier. Salud! read more

Our favorite restaurant in a long time! So glad we visited - we went 2 months ago and have already sent 2 other parties for dinner both of whom came home with rave reviews. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The back of their shirts said "F*#% Sangria. Drink natural wine" - love it. We had a local orange wine that was fantastic! Worked perfectly on its own as well as with the assortment of dishes we tried. An absolute must visit when in Barcelona! read more

Generous wine pours and quality patata bravas. This place was on our list to try and did not disappoint. We started with the tomato salad w/ tiger nut and an unexpected player two: watermelon! Loved it. Then we had probably our favorite patata bravas in Barcelona. The roast beef, an unique Spanish tapas, blew our minds with its mélange of flavors. Not sure what that green chopped fruit was but it complimented the dish well. Flavorful explosions from the peppers. The only not-quite-as-good was the albondigas with squid. A tad bit too seafoody (I love seafood) and tough. Overall a great experience and amazing staff. read more

Another nice spot for tapas in the Bari Gothic. Like many tapas bars in this city, this place has a narrow store front with two stark looking stools outside that are magically always occupied (the residents here seem undeterred by winter weather from eating and drinking outside with no heaters). That's how you know it's good. Anyway, we hit up Bar de la pla after a day of visiting museums in the nether hours between lunch and our 8:00 pm early bird European dinner. I think the place had just opened for tapas hour because it was pretty empty when we arrived but then proceeded to get packed. We got seated right away at the bar and enjoyed a few classics with some cava and vermouth. I thought their patatas bravas were fantastic. They also have some tapas that beyond the traditional fare, like the tempura cauliflower which was also delicious. read more

There are endless options for tapas in Barcelona, but there's a reason why Bar del Pla is both a tourist and local favorite. My family actually chose to dine at Bar del Pla because it was recommended in our Barcelona tour book. We were not disappointed! The variety of tapas, in addition to how unique and flavorful each tapa was, resulted in a fun and very pleasant dining experience that everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed. We ordered the tuna tarte, mushroom and wasabi, squid ink balls, octopus balls, beef tarte, oxtail, mackerel fish, lamb burger, and smoked sardines (coca). Out of these, the fan favorites were the tuna tarte, the beef tarte, mushroom and wasabi, and smoked sardines (coca). The beef tarte is a must try - it was a dish that completely overwhelmed our taste buds in the best way possible, both in texture and flavor. They were very tourist-friendly. They provided us with a menu that was entirely in English and had someone who was fluent in English take our order. If you've traveled in Barcelona, you know how helpful an English menu can be. Our food was brought out promptly and was spaced out so each tapa had a moment of attention. They are located near the Picasso Museum, only a few minutes walking distance apart. They also serve beer on tap and various wines. Staff was friendly and dining ambiance was nice yet casual. With only a few days in Barcelona, my family was very picky with our selection of tapa restaurants but Bar del Pla was definitely one of our favorites! read more

Well on our final night in Barcelona, a colleague suggested Bar del Pla, and it was a highlight of our trip. Tucked in an alley, there was a great vibe, and our server Sandra was just plain awesome.

We loved Barcelona and will be going back to Bar del Pla when we return read more

We popped in here after an afternoon of shopping through the cute alleyways of Barcelona. It is located in the heart of the city where most of the adorable boutiques are and so many fun things. We weren't super hungry but were in the mood for a beer or wine and some munchies! They served olives with our drinks and then we ordered their toast with tomato and oh my goodness, while this is a very popular appetizer in Barcelona, we can honestly say that Bar del Pla had the BEST version that we tried! The service was friendly and we loved the ambiance, it was cozy with a long bar right as you enter and tables in the back. It makes the perfect spot to relax with a cold one after lots of walking through the city! Or if you're there in the cooler months like we were, it is a great place to warm up. read more

Catalan tomato bread. This is an amazing treat. A thin rustic bread with ripe tomatoes smushed on top, excellent evoo, and some sea salt then baked. Crunchy crust with just a few natural flavors. Delicious. The blistered shishito peppers. First place I ever had them and still good. And the squid ink croquettes. Never had anything like this. Bits of squid and squid ink inside a slightly crunchy shell. So good. They also had a shredded duck croquette that was really really good too and glad I listened to the suggestion. I ended with a main course of a grilled octopus with a late and another sauce that I couldn't place but was so good. Octopus cooked perfectly tender and tasty. I haven't been to Barcelona in almost 4 years and was so hoping nothing changed and it didn't. Same fun atmosphere, not pretentious but more a "Cheers" like atmosphere and can't beat the good food. Can't wait to make it back. read more

We arrived around 5PM just looking to have a few drinks. We tried their house vermut (called Psicodèlic). It was the best we've had in Spain yet. (We spent a great portion of our time at Bar del Pla plotting how to ship a case of it back to the US). We tried both Mushrooms with Wasabi (basically raw mushroom carpaccio with shaved Parmesan and wasabi sauce-- amazing!) and Steak Tartare with foie gras (also incredible). We will be back, for sure! read more
