    Paella
    Grace L.

    Came here for a dinner on a weekend night - they looked pretty full, but were able to seat the 3 of us outside within like 10 minutes. Service was quick in general. The place is a little on the pricier side, but I really enjoyed the food. We got a pitcher of Sangria for 21 euros. It wasn't too strong, but it tasted good. As for tapas, we got the calamari and gambes a l'allet (shrimp). The calamari was a little different from expected, since it was like the head (not cut up) so it was a little thick, but had good flavor. The shrimp was my favorite part and super flavorful, though it was doused in oil so maybe not the healthiest. We got the seafood paella, which was about 19 euros per person. This thing was absolutely beautiful. It was the perfect size for 2 people and there was a good amount of seafood in it. Nice and crispy on the bottom too, which was a delight. Would come back for this!

    Octopus was great and the chorizo sausage was ok

    Great ambiance, service, and food. Much better than any other tapas restaurant you'd find near other popular tourist destinations. It was a bummer that they charge a 15% premium for sitting on the patio, but not a deal breaker.

    Although other reviews said to avoid the meat, we couldn't resist the squid tapas, the beef cheek, and the lamb. The potatoes on the side were well flavored. Beers aren't too expensive and a good alternative to water. We were seated immediately, and food came out pretty quickly as well, considering we ordered main dishes. Squid came on potatoes, the lamb came with carrots, and the beef cheek was slightly sweet and so tender. Lamb was tender as well, and a lot of meat for the price in my opinion. Bones were easy to dodge. Sitting out on the patio in perfect weather was a great way to experience the cuisine, and there are plenty of things to see nearby. Lovely afternoon lunch!

    Best latte I've ever had at a bar!

    We waited over 45 minutes to be seated even though our host said our wait would be 10-15 minutes. However, it was worth the wait! We had some lattes while we waited and they were amazing. We ordered the beef cheek & the lamb (see photos). Both entres surpassed our expectations! They were the most buttery, tender meat I've ever had. I can't decide which one I liked the most!

    As we were strolling through our initial visit to El Born, we ended up here for lunch. Good service and good food equaled a happy crew. Ham croquettes, garbanzos with spinach and morcilla sausage, calamari, anchovies, octopus Lovely outdoor seating in the middle of the action.

    On our first night in Barcelona, we walked through the neighborhood and went to dinner at Casa Delfin which is over 100 years old. We had a reservation but it was still pretty early so there were plenty of available tables. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine to start. I think Barcelona is the only place I've said I'll have a glass of house wine and actually enjoyed it. We ordered pan con tomate, octopus, Iberico ham, and padron peppers. We had a really nice casual dinner and couldn't complain about the food or service. ​

    Al fresco is more like add fresco (extra 15%) for outside seating. We tried some of the * dishes outlined as "specialty". The paella mariscos was loaded with squid, mussels, and shrimp. I was pleased the dish was very savory and had short grain rice soaked in the broth. The bisteak was thin and bland, but the shoshito pepper on top was a great nod to the local faire. My favorite were the little squid frito, crispy tentacles with the lemon wedge to bring it to life. Location is great for people watching and the service seemed understaffed for a Monday afternoon. However, our server never rushed us and was very pleasant. She mixes the drinks table side and had an Irish elbow to her pours. I watched as she stirred up sone Gin & Lemonade. Location is right in the heart of El Born and next door to Dolce & Gabanna. Very near to Picasso museum.

    Cute little restaurant with a surprisingly good menu, location and service! Weren't sure if this would be a touristy spot but it wasn't actually too bad. We sat outside on a hot day in July and enjoyed a sample of tapas- some fried artichoke hearts and our new favorite "cocoa bread". Nice and friendly service, and decent pricing. Would recommend this to anyone traveling in Barcelona looking for a good place to eat in the El Born/Picasso museum area!!

    Ham croquette, olives, fried artichoke, fried peppers, chorizo in red wine (and of course, a San Miguel)

    It's been a decade since I came here for my first Tapas in BCN. This is where I realized there was…read morea lot of my peeps that works there and it's nice to feel at home, lol. This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    Walking down the street on Rambla and a "Huge Line" has gathered outside Cerveseria Catalana…read more Something special must be happening here to have this big of a crowd waiting. My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

    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.

    For charm points, the inside of this place is exactly the kind of old-world Barcelona restaurant I…read morepictured before coming here. It is tight inside, and we were tucked into the back room, but in a cozy way. Service is slow in that classic European way, not sad slow, but the kind of slow that reminds you to savor the moment because you are on vacation. The menu descriptions were a little vague, so we took a few stabs in the dark. The eggplant dish we ordered ended up being my favorite, and the hummus with lamb was also very good. I usually love olives, but these did not hit for me. They were a bit too dry and firm, so buyer beware if you are picky about olives. All in all, a charming spot for a romantic vacation dinner.

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special.

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside.

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!
