Pretty large restaurant also with outside patio dining. Beautiful multi floor inside with large flower arrangements. Pretty romantic upscale vibe. Highly recommend for date nights. Very delicious wide variety of Tapas. Iberian "secreto" tapa with perdron pepper & chimmychuri sauce, beef tartar, salted mushroom, asparagus, & Iberian ham, Mango prawns and avocado with cocktail sauce are "must order" and great service. read more

Our hotel front desk recommended this place, which was only a short ~5 minutes from where we were staying. It was a great recommendation! Food was AMAZING. This was the first place we ate when we arrived from Spain, and it's such a good introduction to tapas! read more

Ciutat Comtal - Entrance - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Dropped in for a late meal at around 10:30pm after walking around El National. We first tried the Cod in honey. I didn't expect it to look like that but it was good. It had a nice sweet tomato sauce. Crab with prawn: it is prawn, pickle and imitation crab over bread. It reminded me of a California roll temaki due to the amount of imitation crab. Foie gras and tenderloin over bread: the Foie gras is so rich and melts in your mouth. The tenderloin I wish was a little bit overcooked. Service: we were served by an older gentleman and he was so nice. He was very apologetic for forgetting one of our orders. read more

I was persuaded to come here but quickly figured out it's a tourist trap. The food is decent but you can find much better quality at much better prices, with much better service elsewhere. Avoid this place! And if by chance you didn't listen and came here anyway, check your tab carefully. We had items we didn't order added to our tab and I had a sneaking suspicion it wasn't by accident. read more

Spectacular food, just spectacular and I was pleased with each and every tapas dish. Cuitat Comtal, at least this location, was very much centrally located for shopping, sight seeing and eating. For starters, it's just really busy at all times of the day but we were able to snag a table on both occasions that we went. Yes, with limited time in a foreign city, I went back for another meal. I seldom do that because there's just way too much to try. Maybe Buttery Company (Quezon City) and In N Out (Cali) - I've gone back twice during a short trip/vacation. For starters once again, the receptionist and all the wait staff and bartenders all speak fluent English. My high school Spanish only takes me so far but you don't have to be concerned here. As for the food, I checked out the previous reviews and pics and I zeroed in on 1) the Foie gras on sirloin (so rich and juicy) on a slice of baguette and 2) the Saint Teresa's divine dessert (sponge cake/creme brûlée combination). And Everything else was icing on the cake!! The sangria was perfect after logging 20,000 steps, the fresh seafood, calamari, spicy shrimp, figs topped with Iberian ham. I just can't rave about this place enough. This is really a 10 star review. Muy Bien Cuitat Comtal - your amigo will return. That Foie gras and sirloin keeps me up at night, there's a longing deep in my heart. read more

We'd met an Irish couple that raved about their meal at Ciutat Comtal so checked them out for a late meal. We dropped in on a Monday evening (10:45pm) and there was no wait. The inside is massive. Our server spoke perfect English but wasn't attentive. There was no "today's tapas" sheet included with the English menu. - Copa blanco casa (2,85€) - house white was drinkable. Likely a Sauvignon blanc. - Vermut de reus (3,35€) - decent. - 13 pimientos de padron (3,20€) - 13 fried hot green peppers. Not charred much. They sprinkled salt flakes on top, but quite plain. - Xampinyons i espàrrecs planxa (6,15€) - grilled asparagus and mushroom. Asparagus was very plain. Mushrooms slightly better. Reminded me of when I cook vegetables at home. - Anchoas del cantabrico (6,95€) - anchovies were incredibly salty. Must have been canned. - Bacalao allioli miel (13,45€) - codfish with honey aioli. Best dish of the night. Cod was tender, melt in your mouth. The honey sauce worked wonders. - Crema catalana (3,25€) - overburnt the top but the cream was light and airy. - Xocolata 3 textures (3,25€) - not too sweet with a nice contrasting texture. Stick to ordering the seafood and dessert items at CC. 3.5 stars. read more

Let me start by saying how delicious this place is. Everything we tried was spot on! The service is impressively quick. Despite arriving without reservations at 9 PM on a Friday, we were seated promptly. Next time we're in Barcelona, we will definitely return to Ciutat Comtal. Some standout dishes were the cod, the mini burgers, the crema catalana, and my all-time favorite, the torreja Sta Teresa! read more

Came here on a Saturday at 10am. We did not have to wait in line as it was an early snack time. Seated right away at a table for four and placed order for four drinks and two dishes to share. Beef tenderloin came out first, I loved how the beef was cooked. For some it could be considered rare or even raw. They did not ask us how we would like it to be cooked. But that's how I like the meat cooked but my mom did not so she did not even try. However, it was incredible. Codfish with honey was really good but to me it was a little to sweet because of the honey. I think this is one of the most popular dishes at this restaurant and I could see why. Overall, beef tenderloin was amazing, codfish with honey was good, too but a little too much honey to me. Cool atmosphere, attentive servers, check payment made at the hallway between the counter bar and the restaurant, which was a little but confusing. But recommend this place! read more

The food was just heavenly. Every bite you take is an adventure. Anything and everything we tried was awesome. My personal favorite was 3 layer chocolate, which was one of a kind. Ciutat Comtal is decently priced and the service is top-notch. The ambiance is like you would expect, bustling but relaxed at the same time. I highly recommend Ciutat Comtal, you should try it at least once. read more

This was my final meal in Barcelona and it was incredible! I had been waiting for a traditional tapas experience the whole trip and this place did not disappoint... wish I could try everything on the menu. Sangria was of course awesome too. The restaurant is so fancy but rumbles with lively chatter. Service is definitely a little more stern or inpatient than the U.S. but given how busy it was, it wasn't too bad. read more

Amazing place -wonderful food and great hostess, Shirley. I'm handicapped and was having a hard time walking -she was very kind to look out for me. This is now my fav place for Tapas in Barça!

Absolutely my favorite meal in Barcelona! Love the casual atmosphere and vibe here. Dining capacity is abundant as they have seating inside and outside. Selection of tapas is large and well balanced. Prices are very reasonable. There is a reason why this place doesn't take reservations yet always has a line outside of the door. This is the place the locals come. It's also the place our new friend Marta recommended to us. Watching the wait staff move around so quickly and efficiently is like watching a well oiled machine. Wonderful thing about tapas done right, small portions at reasonable prices...share and sample many! Enjoyed trying a mixed seafood sauté which ended up being my favorite. Also tried the fried seafood mix, asparagus and mushroom, and a few other not so memorable ones. Friend swore the beef and foie gras slider was the best she ever had! Don't expect fine dining. Do expect a casual place to start your festive evening in Barcelona! read more

Came here for dinner around 9:30pm and waited around 30 minutes for a table for two. We weren't really sure what quite to order, and expressed this to the waiter... who surprisingly took our menu for us and helped us order. At first, I was fearful of not just how many dishes he would order for us but if we would like it as well. Thankfully we trusted him with our meal and he served us the most popular dishes in the restaurant: codfish with cheese & honey, razor clams, fried potatos with eggs on top and we opted for an additional dish wish he ordered us a small seafood platter containing mussels, and other shellfish. Sangria was strong and food came out quickly. The codfish was our favorite dish as it was both savory, sweet and very unexpected. I'm not entirely sure if my boyfriend and I got food poisoning from this restaurant since this is the only place that we had seafood in so early on in our trip, but I do have to say that the food is above average and not expensive lol. read more

One of our questions to the lovely lady who checked us in at our hotel (Kimpton Vividora) was where the locals go for solid tapas. Here is the top place she suggested, and we understood why. Great service, a multitude of options, menus in Spanish and English, excellent service (for the most part), and superb food at really great prices. We enjoyed the octopus (pretty solid), bravas potatoes (incredible), beef tenderloin slider style montadito (okay), loaded fries (incredible), and chicken croquettes (pretty solid). Nothing was bad, but naturally, some were better than the others. However, their desserts are phenomenal, especially that St. Teresa cream concoction; we went back on our last day in Barcelona and waited in line for a spot at the bar just for it. On that note, go for a spot at the bar. It generally means less of a wait time, and we found the service at the bar to be twenty times better than the one time we were seated at a table, which in all honesty was terrible and rude. This is definitely a place locals and tourists go to alike, and that's a pretty sure sign it's the place to go! read more

A few locals recommended that we try this place. We were a party of nine and we ordered lots of plates, including the shrimp, the garlic, shrimp, bread with tomatoes, lobster, rice, potatoes, bravos, calamari, omelette, Español, and of course, sangria. The food came fast and was amazing. My favorite was probably the fried eggplant which had a mix of salt and sweet. Great service and great food. Off the beaten path for the Rambla, but the perfect place to have lunch in Barcelona. read more

Overhyped tourist trap. Absolutely trash. Don't come here unless you want to get sick and bottom barrel quality food and service. Came to this place because it had raving reviews. I came to order their popular foie gras and beef tapa only for them to tell me they are out. I tried ordered the foie gras croquette as well and they said that was out as well. My sister in law and I shared the honey aoli COD and I had one of their mediocre mini cheeseburgers. The cod was very chewy, something I wasn't used to, I think it was over cooked or bad quality because most other places I've had cod, it's way easier to eat and usually soft to bite. Next day I was flying out of barcelona and my stomach was cramping so bad. I ended up having a bout of diarrhea and was feeling so weak the whole next day with absolutely no appetite. My SIL didn't start feeling sick until 24 hours later. She actually puked a few times as well as having had diarrhea. We know it was from this meal because our mom was with us, she didn't have any of the food and only the two of us had gotten sick. read more

Tapas were amazing and waitstaff were on it. Would rate 6 stars if possible. The cod with honey aioli and churros are must try's.

Popular restaurant near Las Ramblas for tapas. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. We came at 1 PM on a Saturday in March and there was around a 20 minute wait for a party of three. Once we were seated, service was efficient and the food came out quickly. Overall, the food was not shockingly amazing, but it was pretty solid. Patatas bravas (4/5 stars): The potatoes were soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. I enjoyed the texture, and the different sauces complemented each other well. Tortilla patatas (4/5 stars): This was a sort of Spanish omelette with eggs, onions, potatoes, and a hint of cheese. Quite filling for its size. Slightly rich and savory. Xampinyons i espàrrecs planxa (3.5/5 stars): This was more average than the other dishes. The mushrooms and asparagus were cooked decently, but it did not stand out as much. I enjoyed the sauce. Solomillo turnera (3.5/5 stars): The beef was cooked well but lacked a bit of flavor. It came with a slice of bread and a pepper, though the combination of flavors was not particularly complementary. Gambas al ajillo (4/5 stars): Decently flavored. The shrimp was cooked well. I would've preferred a little less salt and a stronger garlic flavor (a matter of personal preference). 13 pimientos de padron (4/5 stars): I enjoyed these peppers! They were salted and good to eat by themself or between the other tapas. read more
