    Delicious food, good service and ambiance. Make a reservation though as they fill up fast. We had to sit along a wall at a bar type seating since we didn't make reservations, but it was still a nice experience for dinner.

    Fried calamari bao
    Alex S.

    This place is a rip off. This is their calamari bao: 3 rings of chewy fried calamari and one leaf of rotten lettuce for 5.50 euros. Really? Never again. Very small, overpriced portions would have been OK if you had high quality food, but totally not OK if you put fast food ingredients.

    Good food, good service, easy relaxing atmosphere. Would go again. Reasonable price. This was a good stop before heading to Pau Güel or as I call it Gaudis park.

    "Poulpe grillé, pommes de terre confites et crème de ''piquillo''". Aka, grilled octopus with red pepper sauce and potato.

    We were guided to this neighborhood restaurant by our apartment owner during a recent visit to Barcelona. We were extremely impressed with the food quality and flavor. The grilled octopus was the best we've ever tasted, and it's a very generously sized tentacle. You have to make reservations because it's a very popular place. Looking around it appeared everybody was having a blast and were really enjoying the dining experience. All of the plates that were served at nearby tables pastlooked absolutely delicious.

    El Viti, how much do I love thee?? Goodness, your tapas are so special. This isn't your standard tapas and beer joint - There is love in each and every dish! Pork cracklings are just awesome and just so perfect with a cold glass of cana. Crunchy, greasy, and salty but muy delicious. Can I just have another plate? If you're into chicharones than just thank me for recommending these. House salad with ginger vinegarette? Just order. Fresh greens with an asian dressing. Perfect on a hot day to accompany some proteins. Honestly one of my fave ensaladas near sant joan. Other faves? Olives - yes olives. crunchy and flavorful beef cheeks - husband says they are yummy and full of collagen. fountain of youth on a plate?? Venison slider - tiny but packed with flavor! Try it all. You will not be disappointed! The outdoor terrace has about 8 tables. Long waits if you go at the wrong time, but once you sit down it's worth it!

    Beef Cheeks in Red Wine totally amazing. Like comfort food. The gin and tonic is a crazy large pour. Salad with Ginger Vinaigrette is a must have. Easily shareable. Grilled Octopus is worth trying Affordable, too! Only item needing improvement is the service. Slow. Inattentive.

    We visited El Viti Taberna on our last night in Barcelona, and we were so glad we did! The inside has such a cool ambience and aesthetic. The drinks and food were delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. We highly recommend the patatas al remolino and the coca de cristal con tomate y aove.

    We ordered a risotto to share (only after our waitress reminded us that most people in Spain order a number of smaller dishes to share) and beef cheeks in a red wine sauce served with a chestnut cream and of course, I ordered some olives... which these olives are by far our favorite! Dinner was a lovely evening under the stars. Thanks for being gluten-free friendly!

    Dinner with lots of tapas

    Excellent tapas recommendation from our local host. The food was all very fresh and tasty. Lots of locals was a good sign. Really enjoyed this tapas experience!

    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.

Today they had one small table on the sidewalk and the rest indoor including limited bar seating. This is a spot clearly for locals as evidenced by the sheer number of people speaking Catalán around me. It's fabulous in every way- service, ambiance, food and what will be most surprising for Americans, price. For less than $20 I had tuna tartar (more like a guacamole with fresh tuna), beef short ribs, wine, coffee, water and the perfectly small sized piece of cake (tarta de Santiago) from the menu of the day Everything was amazing, and while I wasn't able to do so myself, many people left with leftovers.

That was probably a good idea because after we were seated a majority of the tables did fill up. Lunch included bread, a drink of choice, appetizer, entree, and dessert for 18.90 euros.

    During our three days in Barcelona, Cervecería Ciudad Condal was the very first tapas restaurant we…read morevisited -- and it turned out to be the absolute best! 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. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona!

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside. The interior is a bit on the smaller side, but it's quite bright with a lot of natural sunlight inside. For the food, I decided to get squid, codfish with honey allioli, and iberian ham montaditos. 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!

Their tapas are super yummy and I love that they have a display case that shows you a good variety of what you can get.

I also love the grilled octopus (pulpo) and the seafood paella, which takes a while to cook so order it in advance. The drinks and coffee are always a hit, but I love that it's so close (within walking distance) from the Sagrada Família, so I always make an effort to come here after visiting the landmark. Service has always been great. I have usually been served by the Dark Haired Bartender (ask him about his sister in Utah if you visit). Everyone speaks English and is pretty friendly. It's a smaller spot on one side with bar seating and some tables inside and outside, but they have a more restaurant style sit down place that's a couple stores down so you can have the best of both worlds. I usually opt for the bar seating to people watch and chat with the bartenders.
