discovered my favorite tapa at this restaurant i would've rated this place a 3 but that tapa was so incredibly delicious it bumped the restaurant's rating up an entire star it was a cod tapa (i seem to really like the cod tapas) smothered in cheese/butter and baked until there is this crispy crust and then they drizzle HONEY all over it ugh i'm going to cry read more

MMM tapas, tapas, tapas. You can never go wrong with too much tapas. When you step off the famous Barcelonian street of La Rambla de Catalunya and inside into Ciudad Condal, your eyes will be in amazement of the vast variety of tapas dishes that span as far as the eye can see. A friend recommended this restaurant to me so I thought I would check it out while I was in Barcelona and I'm very much so glad that I did. I have to note that the menu is in Spanish and most of the workers only speak Spanish. With my limited Spanish speaking skills, I found pointing and choosing tapas that were displayed along the bar to be the simplest way for me to order food. You can always use Google translate to translate the menu items, but there are honestly just too many selections to sift through. You might die from starvation by the time you find a dish you like! (Just kidding, of course.) Even though there was a slight language barrier between the servers and I, I have no complaints on the service. Smiles and many "gracias" from my end were exchanged instead. :) I only had 3 days in Barcelona and since Ciudad Condal tapas was so mouthwatering-ly delectable, 2 out of my 3 lunches were spent here. Just because I liked it that much. I will have to branch out to other tapas restaurants the next time I'm in town, but for now, Ciudad Condal is my #1 recommendation to my friends. read more

Delicious!! Busy place. Great food! Fresh food! They rotate and put fresh food out every so often. Clean. They are quick to serve and you never feel rushed. People rotate in and out pretty quick since it's close to a theatre. You'll get regulars but mostly tourist at the bar/counter where you can see the great spread of montaditos/tapas. Bar seating is on your own. Just grab a seat once you see someone get up. If you want a table make sure to put your name on the list. read more

Came here one evening when we were near Plaza Catalunya. We got a couple of small dishes. The beef tenderloin montadito with Foie Gras is so delicious with the crushed salt on top. The Iberico Jamon sandwich was okay. Didn't think it was amazing or anything. The Nutella croissant with powdered sugar was obviously good. My wife also tried some bread dish for dessert which was not bad. Overall an okay experience, with pretty good food. read more

Very fresh seafood and many varieties of tappas. Razor clams are my favorites. The waiting is very long so be there early

This place by far is the best restaurant we've ever had in Barcelona. I went there for lunch and the place was packed. Since I was dining solo, I was able to get a table right away. I had such an delicious and satisfying lunch that I had to come back for dinner! All the tapas packed so much flavor that everything was devoured almost immediately! Loud lively atmosphere. read more

I came here based on Yelp reviews and waited for a bit on a Wednesday night at 8:45pm. I am mixed because the cuttlefish tapa was fantastic and the cod tapa was the most bland dish I've ever had. My fiancé loved the Spanish omelette, but the other two tapas we had, anchovies and grilled mushrooms were also bland in taste. I don't know if it's because they were busy so they didn't make them as well... but it was kind of disappointing because I had very high hopes! Nonetheless, Id say if you like cuttlefish, go there and get it because it will be one of the best you'll ever have, otherwise, go somewhere else for tapas because there are tons of amazing tapas bars in this beautiful city! Service was good. read more

Best tapas in Barcelona! Quality food and the price was surprisingly low, actually quite shocked for the classy joint and quality of food. We visited several times. A must do! read more

Very popular tapas place. We waited about 20 mins to be seated around 7 pm - not bad as we were told originally that we have to wait for 40 mins. Our favorites are the cuttlefish and the big (red) shrimp. Good quality of food in general and they have wide seafood choices. read more

Our first taste of a Tapas Bar here in Barcelona. Saying I really enjoyed the meal is and understatment. The whole experience and being able to try so many different things in one meal really is a great thing. We ordered so many things but what really stood out to me were the patatas bravas, the stuffed cod, crispy camambert , and broiled fresh razor clams. I love how you can just point at something and they prepare it right then and there. The patatas bravas had a smoke chili flavor and the egg on top was great to cut the apiciness with all the richness. The stuffed cod had a honey mayyonaise type of deal glazed over it and broiled, very good flavor but a big oortion for a tapas plate. The Camabrt was fried so the nuts were nice and caramelized with some goey cheese that you could cut and spread on the crustini, the jam on top added a nice sweet acididty to balance the dish out. My favorite was by far the very simple braised fresh razor clams, smokey from the grill with some fresh lemon, tasted like eating the ocean with a very soft chey texture. Delightful! Come here and have a great meal. And dont forget the delicious sangria! read more

Love it. Amazing food and services. Luckily to be seated with no ,No wait on Sunday dinner. Welcoming services and tried out many things on the menu. Though it's very similar to their sister restaurant company which we just went the day before. Anyhow, still excellent food and services. Don't miss the chocolate churros! read more

A go to for Tapas in Barcelona! I didn't know what to expect as I was just randomly Yelping places for brunch. I will say, it's a very touristy place, but then again, so is La Rambla. I thought I was back in America for a second because it seemed like every other person was. The wait was only 10 minutes for us, but I can image that if we even that there 10 minutes later, it would have been terribly long. We tried about seven tapas plates, two of which were the sandwiches. I was left feeling satisfied and the price wasn't bad at all. read more

Amazing!! The service here is great (and English speaking), and the tapas are delicious. It tends to get busy really quickly, but that's definitely a good sign. We discovered Ciudad Condal on our second to last day in Barcelona, and came back the following day for dinner again. This was my favorite place for food in the city, and I wish I could come back sooner to experience this deliciousness again. Some of my favorites: The Razor Clams (these are so good!), beef tenderloin (indeed very tender), prawn skewers, and calamari (tip: get the baby squid, not the rings) Some of my not-so-favorites: Nothing. Everything was good. I highly recommend this place! read more

Food was amazing. Our waitress recommended so many delicious dishes. Had to place second orders of a few of the dishes. Especially the churros! I definitely recommend this place and have marked it down if we ever return to Barcelona. read more

Loved it! (07/10/2012) It might have been smart to sit inside to help pick and choose dishes as they went by. BUT it was an amazing afternoon outside. Great food, atmosphere, city.... Tal vez sería inteligente para sentarse en el interior para ver los platos. Pero después de todo, tuvimos una comida estupenda a este gran restaurante. read more

They dont take reservations so we came for earlier dinner and waited around 30-40 min. Wait gets longer after 8 as locals eat later. 2 floors and plenty of seating but placed is packed to the max. Beautiful decor, well lit and happening place. We started with house wine, yes it was like less then 3 euros for white or red. As for Tapas, we got veggies, calamari, razor clams, regular clams, potatoes with spicy sauce, steak on toast, croquette, and some kind of ham sandwich. They were all great. The steak on piece of toast, potatoes and razor clams were my favs. Ive never had razor clams before, they taste great, alot more fish to eat and not as fishy as clams. All pretty fresh. Service was great , he spoke English and he was a super nice friendly Filipino guy. For dessert we have there equivalent to creme Brulee which was also great. Prices are great and decent portions. The whole bill for all that & 3 glasses of wine each was less then 70 euros. read more

This place was our favorite while we were in Barcelona and just a quick walk from our hotel. However, does anyone know what goes into their white sangria aside from the cava? It was so yummy and that pitcher got us unexpectedly and pleasantly drunk. We're trying to recreate it for our Sunday brunch. Any help with the ingredient list would be appreciated! read more

Best food I've ever had - you must order the grilled razor clams - OMG you will think you died and pleasantly enjoying them in heaven

My husband and I came in and we were a bit confused at first because no waiters came to greet us or seated us. Turns out it's self seating so we found a table (it's pretty pack even on a Friday morning) and a waiter came and gave us menus. We had a beef tenderloin sandwich, prawn skewer, and omelette. Overall everything tasted just as good as they looked. I really enjoyed my meal and I definitely recommend giving it a try. Price is super reasonable for a tourist place! read more

I found this place through a quick yelp search and wow it did not disappoint. The wait was about 20-25 minutes (clearly a sought after place). I don't love tapas but I have no complaints about my meal here. Waiter was super nice. Decor is very nice, especially for a nice dinner. read more

My BEST meal in Spain. Better than those Michelin two stars restaurants I had. Every dish was on point!

Delicious tapas for a good price. I want to go back and try more! Usually very busy so I recommend going early

Let's start with the food. It'd pretty good here. I give it a 4/5. But that's the only good thing here. The portions are small, prices are pretty high. For example, 7 euro for 4 small/regular size shrimps. The service is pretty bad... unless your table is a bunch of teenage or college girls. Our waiter smiled and took most of his time talking to these two tables while completely ignoring us. Although I like the food, I felt like I'm eating with a fly in my stomache. read more

Sooo good. Sit at the bar, so you can see what others are ordering, and can copy:) Very busy at 6pm when we arrived, but seated at the bar right away. read more

This place was recommended to me from a friend and boy did it not disappoint. It was not only delicious but the decor was extremely well done. We chose to sit inside because it was a hot summer day. I recommend the potatas con huevos y jamon and the crema catalayna. Try to avoid the patatas bravas and the more common tapas found in Spain since you can get those anywhere. read more

This place is quite famed and the food justifies that. A must try in BCN! Sister restaurant to a nearby place. I would try that if this place is too packed. read more

All the way from Miami, Florida and this was my First day in Spain and this place started my vacation off right. The food was great and so was customer service. The sangria put me in the mood....lol (I'm not a big drinker) they had a menu in English and our waiter also recommended some great selections...... the eggplant and spicy shrimp was sooooo good. The banana bread pudding is a MUST!!!! You won't regret it read more

I cannot understand why people love this place so much! We tried to go on a Thursday night but left after 10 minutes since we still didn't manage to fight our way to the hostess stand to get our names on the list. We came back on Sat at 5pm and were seated without waiting. (I know it's not the cool time to eat in Spain, but hey, no crowds!) Our waitress had absolutely no interest in helping recommend something. We had one English menu and one Spanish menu but the daily specials are only in Spanish. I was fine trying to bumble my way through it with my bad Spanish and google translate, but she was pressuring us to order (even though the restaurant was half-empty). There are not very many vegetarian options. The pan con tomate was flavorless, the Spanish tortilla was similarly bland. The asparagus and mushrooms were the tastiest thing we ordered, but there were only 6 stalks of asparagus on the plate. The meat cannelloni was good, but the other meat item was pretty average. If we had waited hours for this, I would have been even more disappointed. The best part of the meal were the small sized bottles of wine that cost around €7 - you'll get 3 glasses out of them. Maybe the trick is that you need to drink more so you don't realize how mediocre the food is? read more

This restaurant was our first tapas experience in the city, and it definitely set the bar high! Located in the heart of the city, this place is easily accessible for lunch and dinner.
