We came here for our first tapas in Barcelona and loved it. It felt very local despite having menus in a few languages. We did see another tourist but it seemed far more of a local spot than anything else and prices were very reasonable. We had three tapas - the aubergine & goat cheese, the meatballs, and the chorizo in cider. The aubergine and goat cheese was delicious. The aubergine could've been grilled a bit more for stronger texture but the goat cheese was amazing. Warm and delicious. The chorizo in cider was good, perhaps a bit standard, but it had a ton of chorizo. And just cuz it's a bit standard doesn't mean it wasn't very tasty. The meatballs were maybe my favourite. They came in a really intersting oniony sauce that had some green herbs, something liek that. It was really good though. Very good and highly recommended.
We were walking around trying to burn off the jet lag and found ourselves in an older part of town. We stopped at a few places and they all asked for reservations so we kept going till we found this place. The service was outstanding. It's not a fancy place but it was old and full of history. The food was delicious and the wine was really good for the price!! I will visit this place again for sure
Bormuth was my favorite tapas restaurant while in Barcelona; it is tucked away in the Gothic District away from tourist traps and serves the best food. My favorite items from Bourmuth was the white sangria and the steak tartar. The white sangria is dangerously delicious and refreshing - everything down to the fruit was perfection. The steak tartare is also amazing - two pretty big pieces of bread perfectly toasted topped with a generous serving of perfectly spiced steak. My friend and I also shared tomato bread, papas bravas, fried peppers and the eggplant with honey dish. Total cost for all this food was ~40€. Highly recommend this place for tapas.
We ate here on a Sunday night and were seated upstairs on the balcony overseeing the dining area. They don't accept the Yelp Check-in anymore which was unfortunate. Most of the costumers seemed to be travelers with a couple of locals mixed in. Overall had a good experience but wasn't blown away with the food. Ambience was nice and the place was packed. Service was fast and the food came quickly. Sangria- tasted good and reasonably priced Manchego and almonds- my friend said the cheese was good. The portion size was very big and was way too much for two people. We should have ordered the manchego and ham instead. Eggplant and Honey- This tapas had a very interesting and unique taste. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but my friend really enjoyed it. Highly recommend trying this dish! Secreto Iberico- ehh, it was good but only came with 4 small pieces of meat and a couple of roasted peppers. Pan con Tomato - decent but nothing to rave about. Would recommend skipping this dish and try something else!
I really enjoyed this spot for my first tapas in the city. The waitstaff was very friendly. I got the croquettes, aubergine with goat cheese and a local IPA. Everything was delicious and I enjoyed eating in the little balcony area where I could people watch. Price was affordable. A great welcome to Barcelona.
Exceeded expectations. The place went from a low hum late afternoon to a pleasant local hubbub within an hour. Great service. Tasty food. I could easily have stayed the night. After checking in I had a pop-up freebie vermut courtesy of Yelp - which just happened to be my drink of choice. Thank you god! I started with the fried patron peppers. Crunchy, salty and savoury. Great appetiser. Followed up with the black pudding and roasted red peppers. Peppers were amazing, I could taste cinnamon and smoke, a perfect compliment to the black pudding. Black pudding was soft and yielded to a fork. Forkable? The highlight of my time here. I gilded the lily with a serve of the cuttlefish grilled. A nice dish, but too much too late. In hindsight I should have tried the breaded eggplant with honey.
The absolute highlight of our trip to Barcelona. We went there 4 times in the span of 6 days. We had several of those warm, fuzzy, near-tearful experiences there that are honestly priceless. Even their €3.1 house wine is painfully better than anything the States has to offer. The calamari, the patatas bravas, and the aubergine with miel had us crawling back like some type of addicts...and on our last day there, we realized how badly we had screwed up by not getting the jamon y queso from the beginning. We hope they will be open the next time we come to Barcelona.
Cyndy's Bottom Line: You get what you pay for..... Stopped in for a drink and tapas. Service non attentive. Help yourself to plates, utensils napkins if you'll like to use them while eating. This is what we ate/drank: Vermouth Beer on tap A glass of Chardonnay *Manchego cheese and almonds - the cheese was a bit dry and the almonds were ok. *Cod fish fritters - tasty but very oily as if it was not drained. *Chorizo - nice and salty.
Actually, the food here is really tasty. The portions are generous and you can get full by two tapas. I had peppers with goat cheese, patatas bravas and sangria de cava, which comes in a huge glass with apple and orange slices inside. Everything was great! The place itself is quite cosy and definitely busy during Spanish dinner time which is quite late around 9-10pm. If you come here 6-7 though there is no line or waiting time, so maybe that could be a solution. In general, will be bringing friends here when they are visiting Barcelona!
This was one of the Tapas bar on our activity lists just for drinks. It's my first Spanish Vermouth, it wasn't what I expected and we loved it, it's definitely not the same as the Italian vermouth as most people would think, it's a sipper and a couple of these day drinking will definitely sneak up on you. Think of it as a stronger Sangria taste but better, it was busy and service was good but because we're with the Tour guide, maybe it's a little different or not. read more
We stopped in based on a recommendation from some of the staff at Dr Starvinksy's. We immediately loved the place--very cozy, inviting and intimate. We had a copa de vino rioja, vermut, fried calamari y croquetas. Everything was muy delicioso! We liked it so much we stopped back by a couple of days later for more wine. Our server the 2nd time around even took time to draw a picture of us :) read more
Another excellent late night tapas experience. This lovely locals spot makes some of the best tapas i've had in barcelona! The meatballs were exquisite and deserve a special shoutout; as do the patatas w spicy aioli. Make sure to pair with the XL beer to chase down some of the picante flavors that are sure to ignite your night! Salud read more

Great recommendation from a local Barceleno. A bit crowded at 1030 pm, but I was accommodated immediately. Warm staff, some English spoken. Authentic tapas. Great taste, reasonable prices and accommodating wait staff. Joyful atmosphere with no "attitude." read more

5-stars!!! Unfortunately we experienced this place on our last night in Barcelona with friends. The service was impeccable! The food absolutely delicious. It is a tapas bar however not the same made tapas you find at every single restaurant. For those who may not be into cultural dishes, they have chicken wings and crispy chicken fingers for you :) . My goodness where do I start?!?! I didn't get a chance to take pics as we were a group of people and thought it was best I didn't pull out my phone for a photoshoot as I normally do lol, but my photographic memory is definitely in tuned with my taste buds! I'd probably recommend the entire menu, however we had the following; - Potatoes "Mojo Picon" * The entire trip I ordered Patatas Bravas "angry potatoes" which are suppose to be spicy but instead come topped with a sauce similar to mayo and ketchup! These potatoes however we're boiled first, that lightly fried and came with a spicy red chilli sauce! Delish!!!! - Roasted red pepper with Burgos Black pudding - Fried green Padrón peppers with sea salt - Breaded Aubergine with honey - Bormuth meatballs - Small fried fish Their chicken wings are made in a garlic and white wine sauce, however I didn't get a chance to try because they were sold out :( . Definitely recommend! read more

They do not honor the gratis deal for checking in on Yelp. It's a scam advertising ploy to lure people in. read more
We had amazing tapas from here two weekends ago. Their food tasted fresh and the flavours were great. We ordered most of our usual favourites such as croquetas, pimientos de padron, jamon Iberico, pan con tomate, and tortilla de patata. They also had something called a tournedo which had a thin layer of foie gras on top and was really tasty! The atmosphere was lively and they also have a number of outdoor tables available. The sangria made with cava is also a must try! read more

On our Second night here we finally were able to get a table after 30 minutes waiting. Everything was so disappointing. There is some spray bottle on the table which I have no idea what are they for They are so dirty . The service is ok but I have no idea why does it take them 30 min to serve 3 simple tapas plates. Traditional Fried potatoes Eggplant and cheese Bread with tomato sauce. I love trying different tapas at different bars in Spain. This experience wasn't even close to what I had before. The potato basically was American fries and mayo nothing like the original style. The bread and tomato sauce was soggy. Eggplant and goat cheese was the only good tapas plate which gets the one star from us. I honestly have no idea why the yelpers like this place. read more

Without a doubt one of our worst dining experiences in Barcelona. Located in the heart of Barri Gothic, so it's convenient, popular and always filled to the gills. We went because it seemed to be a fixture among the young local scene and had such great reviews. What a mistake. The food is not cheap (45 euros per person) and the only prevailing flavor was an excessive amount of salt. It completely overwhelmed any other flavor. The salt rendering the food largely inedible, plus the dirty bohemian vibe, poor service and tiny bottles of water made for a horrible experience. There are plenty of gems in this area of barcelona. This qualifies 100% as a tourist trap. We ate the lentils, patas bravas, gazpacho and steak. All lacked any creativity or flavor other than salt. Cava was way over priced and it seemed a huge imposition to the wait staff that we requested a sleeve to keep it cold. ....sorry unlike most tourists. ...we don't enjoy warm, flat cava?.... Try bar mundial or el bixto instead. We were generally very upset that we wasted one meal in Barcelona here. read more

We went here because of the good reviews. And they didn't let us down. There was a good vibe, it smelled delicious and the food was really good. The waitresses were really kind and nice. The prices are good too. We had 9 dishes and 2 sangria and it costed us around €56. We are certainly going back again. read more

Bormuth is a pretty busy restaurant, with a good mix of both young locals and tourists. My boyfriend and I ended up eating at Bormuth twice during our stay, as one of the nights we were in town was a Monday and most everything else was closed that evening. The ambiance is pretty trendy so if you're trying to keep to an "old world Spain" type of experience you might not find that here. After going two nights in a row I definitely can say that the food and service is solid, and worth checking out if you want some good tapas. We ordered: + Calamari - Lightly battered, and extra tender... It seems like Spain gets the Calamari right almost everywhere. + Aubergine - Crispy fried eggplant chips lightly fried and tossed in a honey/balsamic drizzle type of deal, so good! + Ensaladilla Rusa - tasty, but not enough picos :( + Lentils - after two weeks in Spain we were dying for something light and not fried.. thank heavens for this salad! + Albondigas - another yummy dish you can't go wrong with. I also recommend trying their vermouth either red or white, the preparation was different from how I'm used to having it in the states (as mixers in a manhattan or martini) but it was good, cheap and interesting to try none-the-less. Also worth mentioning that at the end of our meal they brought the check out with some kind of delicious complimentary shooter. What a night! read more

This tapas bar was recommended to me by my host here in Barcelona and boy was I not disapointed :) The bar is very well located, easilly accessible by foot from the old city. Its ambiance is very nice with a rustic touch with yet modern feel. The food was excellent, and with lots of choices, and a menu in both Spanish and English. We had delicious fried calamari, roasted green peper with oil and red peper with goat cheese. Portions were sufficient and we did not need any bread on the side. The service was very friendly and efficient, with the waiter trying to help us with our choices. Prices were decent given the quality of food :) Overall a great experience and highly recommendable. read more
