Delicious! We read over a bunch of reviews and watched some videos to determine the only items worth ordering. Prawns skewer Beef tenderloin montadito Codfish with honey The other items looked normal, but these were great! We got two orders of the prawns and the beef and one order of the codfish and it was sufficient for the two of us for lunch. Yum! Cute easy place to hang out after exploring also. read more

The food was outstanding at Ciutat Comtal. We at there everyday. We had breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and after hours around 1am. The Host, managers and the servers were top notch. They took the time to explain every dish in the menu. read more

We had a party of 7. We had the waiter pick out dishes for us to try. The lechon tapa was delicious!! Over the top. We came back several days later but it was not served that day:( The octopus is another favorite. Really can't go wrong with any item read more

Food was amazing. It was packed but we were able to be accommodated quickly. Friendly service. Lively ambiance.

Taxi driver from the airport told us, concierge confirmed, we went for early tapas dinner and beer. Place is done beautifully, down to their noise abating, handsome rust colored panels on walls and hanging overhead. Squid stuffed with shrimp and mushroom. Kind of transcendent. Who would have thunk!? Place stays busy. Go read more

Well fellow YELPERS, thanks for this recommendation!! I was looking for a Tapas restaurant walking distance to our place. This one showed promise. The 4 of us walked down to it. Easy to navigate.

The lamb tapa AMAZING!! The shellfish was so fresh and tasty. The wine list is excellent!! Fell in love with this restaurant...clean and wonderful decor!! read more

Dinner on our last night in Barcelona. Good, popular place with long line/wait time to match. Have a Tapas menu (salty & sweet) and a Tapas of the day and full menu. Food was good. Albeit relatively small portions. Wine was 'measured' (lfill line on glass). I didn't really like that. Sangria was good and food was Very Tasty. Again, just smaller portions of everything than I might like. read more

So we had been turned away by the restaurant we wanted to originally try because of no reservations (spoiler alert we got there ,eventually) and we came here because the reviews looked pretty good . Needless to say that 14k people on google and 1k Plus on Yelp were not wrong .. this place is awesome . The restaurant is huge and has both indoor and outdoor seating , we decided to sit inside and surprisingly even got seated right away ,though the wait line was long (two people parties are easy to seat, I guess ). The gentleman serving us was really sweet inspite of the language issues and he used a lot of hand gestures to describe things , which honestly I did not understand much but his enthusiasm was infectious so we ordered what he recommended . First of the Sangria here was one of the best in all of our Spain trip and I highly recommend it . The Rioja was also a good addition . we ordered a bunch of Tapas and loved everything - Tomato Bread -Unbelievably simple and Unbelievably good Patatas Bravas - Crispy and came with a delicious sauce Beef Tenderloin - This was soft and well cooked beef and even though I am not a fan of beef tenderloin mostly , I did not mind this one. Fried fishes and peppers - Get the peppers , just get em ! Service is fantastic and prices are hard to beat . read more

Great atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Despite it being extremely busy (@8!!!) The staff kept their cool and were organized. I LOVED the razor clams!!! It was cooked in parsley, garlic and lemon. Great combination that I would recommend to anyone. I came here to try new things, and I'm glad I popped into this place! read more

We came here around 9:30 pm on a Friday for our first night in Barcelona and was so pleased with the food and fast service. It was super busy and we anticipated a 30 min wait but only waited 15. The razor clams are a must have. I would not get the cod in honey again because it was overly sweet and the sweetness didn't compliment the fish. The crema catalana was just like a creme brulee but had notes of cinnamon and maybe orange-- so good. Overall, the food was amazing and the sangria too! Definitely coming back here before we leave Barcelona. read more

Garbage service and food. We came late night. With plenty of time before closing. They rushed us out from the time we sat down. Bare fuckery

This place is one of the most popular places on yelp and rightfully so. It's right in the "main" area of Barcelona with lots of things going on all around you. That means you need to get here early or be prepared to wait. Also, note that this is supposedly the sister restaurant to ceveseria catalana & vinitus aka they serve literally the same menu. What we got: Foie + Steak: Tried this little bite and its amazing what you can get for ~3e Fried mix fish platter: I'd probably skip this unless you're a big fan of anchovies, since this is essentially fried calamari + anchovies Croquettes: Had a creamy texture on the inside Shishito peppers: Perfectly salted and grilled Eggplant chips with glaze: Surprisingly delicious. Thin, lightly-fried eggplant chips Codfish with honey glaze: This is one of their specialties and an absolute standout favorite. Highly recommend this dish Bread pudding: Great texture, not too sweet. Delicious Their wine selection is affordable and solid and their waitstaff is great as well. read more

The design of the interior was excellent. Both hostesses working both inside and outside were doing a great job unfortunately that's where the good experience ends. It"s sad to say but I could not believe how bad the food was, It was one of the worst food experiences I have had, bland items, meat could not be chewed and there were other issues. I mentioned it to the server as kindly as I could but he did not seem interested at all. His response was not good. read more

If you're looking for good food at a good price, this is the spot. The restaurant is super busy throughout the day so come with the understanding that there might be a wait. They are quick though! we were seated inside in under 20 minutes. There's both indoor and out door seating. I ranked our favorites below from 1-6 From the traditional menu we ordered the prawn skewers(4), beef tenderloin montadito(2), bravas potatoes(6), and mixed fried fish(5). From the daily menu we ordered the fideua marinera (seafood noodles)(3), which was only available for lunch, and the hake fish with prawns in a santurce sauce(1). Honestly you can go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Definitely worth the visit read more

Straight off the plane to Ciutat, and we couldn't have been happier. We waited ~15 min for three around 10pm on a Saturday evening. Although it was raining, we opted to sit outside, happily dry in covered seating across the main restaurant. Everything we had was delicious. This included the razor clams, sliders, beef tenderloin with foie gras, patatas bravas, spanish omelette, and tomato bread (Pan Con Tomate). Clams - super fresh and tender in garlic and butter Sliders - was hesitant to get, because we thought they'd be typical sliders, but was recommended by our waiter / it didn't disappoint! Flavorful and juicy Beef tenderloin w foie - juicy tenderloin with rich foie with residual juiced soaked by a crunch slice of baguette Patatas bravas - crunchy potatoes with ketchup and mayo for dipping; simple but delicious Spanish omelette - omelette with potatoes and onions Tomato bread - tomatoes rubbed on crusty bread; again, simple but surprisingly tasty. We also had the Mixed Fry (assorted fried seafood), which was good but we preferred the other dishes more. This was all washed down with sangria. We left comfortably full, feeling very welcomed to Barcelona. read more

We were looking for a place to have lunch and this place had good reviews so we decided to check it out. There were 8 of us and they had a perfect round table for us in the back. The vibe of this place was so cool. It's so much bigger inside than we expected. We ordered the octopus, which we liked. It was a 4/5. We also tried the sliced fried artichokes (which were amazing!! I could eat these everyday). The seafood medley in melted garlic butter was SO tasty. We also ordered a codfish with honey aoli. We loved this too. It was cooked perfectly and we loved the combination of flavors. A worker at our hotel told us to try the churros and chocolate somewhere while we were out so we were excited to see those on the menu. We all loved these as well. The chocolate was dark and rich, and dipping the churros in it was heavenly. The dishes all came out fast and we were in and out within 45 minutes, which was perfect! We would totally come here again and try more things if we were ever in the area. read more

Decent tapas spot in Barcelona with good offerings but their service wasn't great and you can definitely find cheaper tapas elsewhere in the city. read more

Great value, food and decor. We were greeted by a kind hostess in English asking if we wanted inside or out. We sat inside here and it was a nice looking place. Menus were available in Spanish and English. Our waitress was great and her English was great. We were in a corner actually that seemed like the tourists corner or English speaking area. I can live with that. Food was great at a decent value. Including drinks we ordered 15 things and came up to 70 something. Would recommend them for sure. read more

Very good food with culture of Mediterranean cuisine, Very adequate service with a pleasant and close atmosphere.

Ate here and had amazing service. The food was fantastic. Very friendly staff and very helpful in making our food decisions.

The sister restaurant to the famous Cervesaria Catalana this bar has inside seating and a large outdoor seating area. I found it the previous night while passing by and seeing the same happy face on the menu and figured it must be the same. Having ordered all seafood the previous night at Cervesaria, opted for a more veggie inspired meal. Baked cod with mayo and honey; very tender and moist, the honey was very mild but I think I prefer a savory seafood dish. Grilled asparagus and mushrooms were grilled perfectly the mushrooms had good texture and the right amount of salt. Since the artichokes weren't in season yet they didn't have them so I got fried eggplant. Sliced thinly, fried and topped with honey. Very good but if artichokes are in season get those instead. Fried calamari was nothing special. Just fried calamari rings they were a bit rubbery but maybe because they are thicker calamari. Sautéed assorted mushrooms with an egg yolk, these were pretty good. Broke the yolk then mixed it into the mushrooms and jus. They were also good. Of course I ended the meal with the Torrija crème de st. Teresa so good. Warm custard topped with a torched sugar top. Next time I want to try the crème de coco I thought it was chocolate pudding but now I understand it's a coconut flan. It seemed like an identical menu to Cervesaria Catalana. I highly suggest the seafood. Razor clams, garlic shrimp, grilled shrimp, huevos cabreads, fried artichokes, grilled octopus, and the Torrija crème de St. Teresa. read more

It's been a few days and I'm still daydreaming about the codfish with honey. The service was attentive and fast despite how busy the restaurant was. We snagged a table for 3 in the bar area with only a 15 minute wait. We tried shrimp, codfish, asparagus and mushrooms, bravas, and White sangria (Sangria de Cava). So delicious, I'll definitely be back! read more

Diner around 6 pm, they were able to take us in right away, it was crowded. Hostess was very friendly and they helped with the menu (being from America , not sure of Thingson the menu). Very nice restaurant and clean. More importantly the food (tapas) was above average, had the mushrooms and asparagus, beef tenderloin (needed just a little more grill time), duck liver ( interesting), cod (again a little longer on the grill), shrimp in a garlic spice, cheese burger. All good. Had to ask about the desert menu, excellent deserts, but I like sweets read more

Barcelona is weird. The city is both gorgeous and overly...almost disgustingly commercialized. So it's got both the wow factor and....a burger king in the same building. The food scene feels the same. If that somehow makes any sense. This place gives you the real wow factor. Get the shrimp. Get the honey cod. Get the ham. Get damn near everything except the crab salad on toast (no bueno). The massive line is worth it. Be patient. It has a reason both locals and tourists line up for hours. Hope you also get served by this tiny short little old man. He knows his stuff. Just ask him what's good and he will tell you. I ordered the crab toast on my own so that's my own damn fault but everything else he helped me order was amazing. Yea. Make some time and go here. And be patient. read more

The guy that served us is awesome. He is super efficient and the service super quick. Totally reminded me of the street restaurant in Hong Kong. I really enjoyed ordering tapas. It is like having dim-sum or dining at an izzakaya, you can order many dishes in small portion. There are good varieties here. And the seafood is quite fresh. Among the dishes I ordered, I really loved the Codfish with honey alioli, which the fish fillet was cooked smooth, moist and flavorful with a balanced sauce. The razor clam is meaty and fresh with olive oil sauces. The beef tenderloin was juicy and tender, although it would love the bread to be less crunchy but the jalapeño on top added a good flavor in contracts. The grilled cuttlefish was simple and traditional, yet it was grilled with good flavor and of fresh seafood taste. Overall, it was a very good dining experience. read more

I love this restaurant!! The food was terrific, the service outstanding, the ambience is great. It's a very busy place but if you can get a seat at the tapas bar, it is a wonderful experience! We ordered a few but as the chefs were creating new ones and they served, we would just ask for one of those... one of those ... just awesome. It was so good, we went to their sister restaurant the next day for lunch. The filet mignon with foie gras is amazing, the tuna/anchovy, all the traditional, too hard to mention them all. Attached are some pictures but this a must go to in Barcelona - it will be a most treasured memory of food while visiting this great city! read more

Honestly this place is almost identical to cervesceria catalana just down the street, down to the menu and the quality of the foods. I think going to either would give you very similar experiences, although ciutat comtal has a larger outdoor space and smaller indoor space (vs cervesceria, which is the opposite). I even ordered the same thing here as in the cervesceria because they are my favorite tapas- grilled cuttlefish and the Iberian montaditos. Tasted exactly the same- really excellent. If you prefer more of an outdoors people watching experience, I would recommend ciutat. If you want to dine indoors, cervesceria. But honestly can't go wrong with either. read more
