    Seafood paella
    Mike W.

    Perfect food with great service! The food was incredible. The sangria was very refreshing.

    Complimentary homemade passion fruit and lemongrass liquor so good!

    Carlos was our gracious and friendly waiter. I walked in for lunch here instead of struggling to procure a prix fixe reservation at Tickets or Bodega 1900. We waited probably 10 minutes to be seated. There are plenty of locals inside so this is not a tourist trap although the menu looks super kitschy. The seafood tapas were all top notch! There are a lot of Galician style dishes available. Patatas bravas for example were boiled not fried/baked. We enjoyed the soft texture, but I recommend sticking to the seafood hands down. The anchovies LOLIN 00 were indeed showstoppers. Razor clams are the best I've ever had! The meat tapas were a bit of a letdown.

    Razor Clams are so so good here! Perfectly seasoned & the Smokey flavor is amazing. We also got the oysters here, and it's extremely fresh. Also, get the sangria Cava - sweet and refreshing. We also got a couple of other dishes like bread & tomatoes, beef stew, potatoes & eggs, but those were just average. Get their seafood! It's perfectly seasoned & fresh. You won't regret it..

    Paella 10/10

    Went here our first night in Barcelona on our honeymoon. We both loved the food, service and atmosphere. We left with their house rum, it was sweet but good. Paella was 10/10, it's a lot of food for two people and we almost ate it all. Don't miss out on this place if your in the area. We are from the states and they were so hospitable. Hope to come back some day.

    We spend an evening in this lovely Tapas place during our stay in Barcelona last week-end. We wanted to try it cause the place looks very cute with it's beautiful terrace and the nice light and pretty tables :-) Very nice environment. The meal started very well ! We ordered a "cerveza" and an orange juice. This last one was freshly squeezed ! A very good surprise. Then on the advice of the very nice lady that served us, we choose 2 tapas with fish, 2 tapas with meat, and the famous "Patatas Bravas" at last. The tapas were gorgeous. Absolutely delicious. Very well presented and tasty. Actually the only problem with those tapas was the price. We paid 40€ for 5 shared tapas and 2 drinks. Considering that we were still hungry at the end of the meal, that's pretty expensive ^^ We actually had a lovely time in that place. Until we got the bill... Yes the Tapas were a bit expensive, sure, but that's not the reason. Suddenly we had this strange feeling that we have been taken for idiots... Let me explain. During the meal, a different waiter that the lady that took care of us the entire evening, bring to our table a basket containing 2 slice of bread. As bread is usually given for free in French restaurants, we were not surprised by that. We shared one slice as they were pretty big. And we didn't even noticed that there were a tomato and some garlic in the basket. What a surprise for us when we see on the bill that this basket costed 3€! Okay maybe that's not much, but wait a second, we ate only one slice of bread !! For 3€ ?!!! You got to be kidding me !. I asked the waiter about it. He told me that's an habit in Barcelona, in every restaurant you get bread, tomato and garlic. Well maybe, but he should have explain that to us when he brings the basket ! He clearly saw that we are tourists (we don't speak spanish at all). He should have told us that's an habit, the cost of it, and we would have made the decision to take it or not. We told him that's not honest and that we feel like they fooled us. Plus, we didn't eat it all, so they can easily charge the next table with the same bread, tomato and garlic... That's a shame. That's a bad way to treat costumers and especially tourists ! We were very disappointed when we left the place. And we get back home hungry and angry...

    Patatas bravas
    Emma M.

    Awesome tapas! The Iberian ham and the burger sliders were a big hit, as was the veal and pork cannoli. The patatas bravas were also flavorful but not overwhelmingly spicy. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a good selection of tapas!

    We enjoyed our meal here, starting with the ham slicer all the way through dessert. All of he food was freshly prepared and tasty. My only complaint was the prices. I have no problem with the concept of small plates of food, well prepared and ready to share. But many of the tapas (especially the scallops and shrimp) are 10 to 12 euros for very small portions. I'm not usually one to complain about prices - especially when on vacation... but I felt like the meal we had would have been great at about 2/3 the price. As for the food, it was all delicious. The sangria was tasty. We have the shrimp and the (not so) giant scallops. Garlic beef is very tasty... and the paella was good as well. Tiramisu for dessert was fresh and light. I would come back here for the food... but be careful about how quickly the bill adds up :)

    I had originally wanted to try espai Kru next door but somehow the reservation I made online on espai's page was for this place instead. They do belong to the same group so maybe I didn't pay enough attention. There are sample tapas behind the window on the counter that seem really fresh and inviting. We sat outside for lunch on a nice day, and like some other yelpers here noted, were surprised when the check came and saw that we were charged for the bread with tomatoes and garlic. It was brought to our table without us ordering it, and of course we took it as a complimentary treat on the house. But we'd also experienced similar issues at other restaurants in Barcelona so I do believe this is just custom. The suckling pig was delicious. We wanted the prawns but they were out. Cañota is a cute little place for traditional Spanish and Catalan cuisine but you won't feel at sea being a tourist.

    Menu: nirtapa

    I was surprised to find that the reviews here are so all over the place! I had come on a Thursday evening with a reservation per recommendation of the hotel. We were promptly seated and I was immediately charmed by the restaurant branding, mainly composed of fun colors and characters and this concept of Nirtapa - I'm a sucker for a good pun! We were seated next to the jamon carving bar and during the second half of the meal, the restaurant had someone doing magic tricks. Both great sources of entertainment! For food, we ordered the pan con tomate, which was made live for us. This appears to be a traditional dish with grilled bread and olive oil, with raw garlic and tomato rubbed over the top. We also ordered jamon, patatas bravas, the grilled artichoke special, grilled shrimp (so buttery and tender!), and a 2-person serving of paella. Apparently the paella normally is made in larger sizes for sharing, but given all the number of other dishes we ordered, we asked if we could have a 2-person serving. The restaurant was able to accommodate this request for us and we did not regret it! Overall all, our meal was great food, drink, entertainment, and conversation. Generally, the restaurant felt just a tad-tourist trappy, but it was one of my more memorable and delicious meals in Barcelona.

    Such a fun dining experience. The food and drinks were amazing. The service was wonderful. The environment is intimate and friendly. The desserts are AMAZING. The tiramisu was out of this world. Would definitely return.

    Delicious!! oysters w ponzu sauce.  the salmon roe makes it awesome!

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!
