    A friend and I visited El 58 on a weekday evening for dinner. We arrived just after 8pm. We didn't have a reservation and they were clearly busy, but they put our name down on the waiting list and we went to sit at the bar while we waited. After only a few minutes, we were seated at a cozy table for two against a wall. Instead of paper menus, El 58 uses cute chalkboards to show what's available for ordering. The chalkboards nicely compliment the vibe and ambiance of the restaurant, which is both chilled and more than a bit quirky at the same time :-) Tip: While El 58 is advertised as a "tapas" restaurant, many of the dishes served here are anything but small plates. Two of the dishes we ordered (the steak and the risotto) were served on huge plates, and could easily be construed as an entrée intended to be shared by two people. Service was friendly, welcoming, and completely on point. Our server suggested that we order no less than five or six dishes to share; everything is served "family style", and they bring each dish out when it's ready. Each and every dish featured unique flavors with lovely presentation and plating as well. While we couldn't finish everything, we left completely satisfied, with full bellies and smiles on our faces. Our smiles were grew a bit larger when we saw the check - the prices are so reasonable that I double-checked to make sure they had billed us for everything we'd order.

    This place is a hidden gem. When you pass by it you wouldn't know it's a restaurant because the entrance is a bar. The menu is approachable with diversity in foods provided in multiple languages. The food is elevated without it being elitist. A must culinary experience during your time in Barcelona. Friendly service and eclectic decor makes you feel at home.

    Busy little place that we discovered thanks to online ratings. We had to wait a few minutes, but well worth the effort. Staff does a good job of speaking English menu is translated too. The variety of Tapas dishes were well executed. Edgy, Spanish, continental fusion style. Well balanced and beautifully plated dishes. Eat here if you have an opportunity.

    Everything we had was awesome. Staff spoke English and was a pleasure to deal with. Made our day. The sangria was best ever.

    Had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed everything. Seafood tapas, smoked beef, octopus, risotto, eggplant with honey. Staff was super friendly and spoke English. Loved the food and sangria.

    A bit of a wait for a table, but not too bad. They didn't think they could fit me in before closing, so they served me at the bar, which was fine. Potato Bravas and risotto were both amazing. Bartender was nice.

    I stumbled upon this place and it was one of my best meals. I ordered a couple of tapas and shared with a friend. There was a tomato and micro greens salad with seared tuna, hot coal octopus with potatoes, braised tuna belly, and a beef carpaccio. We also had your typical bread with tomato spread and a sangria. Just ask your server for their suggestions and the most popular dishes. Everything was really wonderful.

Even if without time to sit down and eat, do buy some cheese to go! We did that and then returned for a proper dinner. The atmosphere was so cozy and makes me feel like it's Christmas there everyday! The service is so kind and accommodating. We shared three incredible salads (one with bufalo mozzarella, one with mushrooms, and the third with orange and chili, as well as shared a large cheese plate of cheeses from Northern Spain. Wow! Everything was absolutely divine! All of the salads were incredible (and it was my first and last bite of jamon iberico while in Barcelona as I'm vegetarian and made an exception of a bite here in order to experience the culinary history of Barcelona... and I am so glad I did this here as my cousin who lives near the restaurant confirmed it is among the best Iberico he had ever eaten). The Rose was incredible and they offer an extensive wine list. The cheeses were unforgettable dekicious. It was such a delicious, beautiful and memorable dinner with such lovely company and our last dinner together in Barcelona this trip. Thank you so much! We hope one day soon to return to Barcelona from NYC!

The food was absolutely amazing. I had a Tebia salad. I honestly can't say I've been so excited over a salad. It had a wonderful aray of light toppings with a hot host cheese on toast. It was delightful and rich with the semisweet salad. My spouse had the fondue and a toast with iberco ham. The tiramisu was not to sweet yet creamy and delicate. Great service, great meal, great start to our trip to Barcelona. Best meal yet in Spain

Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.
