Amazing food, and authentic tapas. The quality of the food is great and the presentation is good. I ordered the squid ink octopus linguini, it was delicious. I don't think they have the spring rolls pictured here anymore or the stuffed clams but these were also delicious. Do not miss out on the drinks! I cannot find my drink on the menu but I remember it was refreshing and perfectly sweetened. The service was good, nice staff and the food came out fast. We had a reservation beforehand as it was on a Saturday night. You should get ressies in advance as the place gets super packed with big groups; it is a popular place. This was our first time visiting Viana BCN and my husband and I had an amazing time and enjoyed the food, and warm service by the entire team. We usually never get dessert and we each got our own as I wanted to try "trio de chocolates" and my husband wanted the "tarta de queso".

Croquettes

Amazing Restaurant Totally recommend the paella and the Iberian croquettes !! Great Atmosphere and the Allergy service is fantastic!

Just awesome dishes

Stumbled on this place while walking the small streets of La Rambla - was looking for something not so touristy and not on the Rambla itself. This is a nice higher end restaurant - looks like a family run business - service was excellent and timing of the plates was just right ! Great cocktails and wine selection great !

Baby scallops - tasty
Jessica B.

Yes there are two. They're very close and the same restaurant, but it's a bit confusing if you make a reservation which one it's for. Turns out they had room for us at this location and they were so nice about seeing us in. We had excellent service all around. The blackberry mojito is worth being their poster drink: barely sweet and so picturesque. The croquettes we're a twist (squid ink plus squid and octopus) - very rich and satisfying. The baby scallops were a tasty bite too. The patatas bravas were good, again with a twist (some patatas are sweet potatoes!). The entrees were just ok: the lamb is a sort of pulled lamb, with good flavor and very tender. Served with tabouleh and the temperature contrast was just sort of off putting. The mushroom risotto was rich, but needed just a little more salt. (The sauce for the lamb had plenty!) A neat spot with a friendly staff that was able to accommodate a huge group of 16 as we were leaving. Impressive! Just wish the food had been a "wow".

The culinary experience offered by Gran Viana - from the ambiance, to the staff, the drinks and the FOOD - is unmatched. I ordered the "Cube Roll de Ternera Argentina" (see picture). If you are a meat lover, this is a must have. The meat is so tasty that you can almost have it alone, buuuut I recommend you treat yourself to the patatas bravas AND the shrimp & veggie rolls. Oh, and the blackberry mojito for the full experience. Important to mention: The restaurant has gone to great lengths to ensure the safety of their patrons and staff. All in all, it was a superb evening. Do yourselves a favor and make your reservation today!

What an incredible find! This place has superb food and great service! Brian (our server) was so nice, friendly and helpful. I'm so glad he attended us. We ate the tapas so fast, I did not take pictures of everything we ate but luckily we ordered more of our favorite. The prawns and white fish ceviche and the tuna diced marinated in soya with apple and avocado were amazing! We also ordered the fresh burrata cheese w/sorrento tomatoes guacamole nuts and peanut vinaigrette and the codfish in blood orange sauce! I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Barcelona, Spain.

Brian and Paul are amazing! They helped me coordinate a dinner for 22 people, including kids and several allergies. They were so accommodating... The food was spectacular, the ambience was amazing... Even down to opening several bottles of wine so one of the guests could have her pick. The most professional and genuine staff. The food was phenomenal, absolutely amazing!

Chicken with herbs
Kris R.

This place is awesome, we got patatas bravas, beef, chicken with herbs and the cheesecake everything absolutely delicious!! served in good portions. The service was amazing! My fiance wanted beef well done, (very close to burned actually lol) when he got it it was still a little red, it was totally fine for me but he is picky..so we send it to cook more. Not a big deal for us. Manager rigth away came to apologize, they even wanted to give us dessert for free for not cooking the meat the way he wanted. It wasn't their fault at all my fiance eats really hard meat haha. Their customer service is amazing we really enjoy and appreciate their care and how they connect with the costumer.

Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar - charcuterie board

Ziryab Fusion Tapas Bar

4.9(40 reviews)
0.5 km•Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera-Born

Ziryab fell onto my radar as a popular tapas spot in Barcelona. I didn't make that many dining…read moreplans in advance before visiting the city, I just knew I wanted tapas. 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.

First of all, the place is kind of hidden. The ambiance is fantastic. Exposed brick, old tavern…read morestyle. We walked in, without reservation, on a Saturday night. They were gracious and accommodated us. Our server was deaf/mute but was attentive and as long as we pointed to what we wanted in the menu - it was fine. Everything we ate was delicious I recommend this spot if you are in the gothic quarter. Make reservations just in case

Our first dinner in Barcelona- had walked to the gothic quarter- walked past it and decided to go…read morein. We were not disappointed. Cute place, nicely decorated- has great seating places to hang out. Staff welcoming and efficient. Food was great- needed a healthy meal- and we got it. We got the fattoush salad: was refreshing Mixed grill- had a kebab, grilled chicken, grilled beef (or lamb maybe- whatever it was, was good), and a lamb chop. Served on the classic thin bread with a side of grilled potato, onion, pepper! It was everything I needed it to be- all the meat was tender, flavorful and moist. Was also the perfect amount for 2- and we finished everything!

We were seeking a non Spanish restaurant in Barcelona and we decided to try Mezah after I stumbled…read moreupon the reviews in Yelp. Both my son and I are very picky about Lebanese food having been spoiled by the excellent Lebanese in our home town Los Angeles, so we ordered with trepidation. The very first must-try dish immediately set our minds at ease: please, do yourselves a favor and order their Fatoush salad. It's done so right, juicy tangy, bursting with flavors and the pita in the salad is made into a curly flower and gives a delicious crunch. We liked the dish of garbanzo and yogurt a bit less, as it was quite heavy and lacked flavor. My son was very pleased with shish tavouk with chicken, and I loved my halloumi dish. The service was slow (as everywhere in Barcelona) but it was efficient, and our Egyptian waiter had good recommendations for everything. He was funny and personable.
