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.

Our waitress was a totally charming young lady who put up with our questions in broken Spanish and Catalan (think French, speak Spanish). We had bowl of deep fried txiperones (baby squid) that was perfect, a salad with a fried slab of goat cheese, walnuts, sunflower seeds and pepitas And fried eggplant with blue cheese and honey (the star of the night). A couple of glasses of the house white and a guy wearing a Nirvana t-shirt playing flamenco guitar made for a perfect evening.

Bar del Mig was recommended to me by my AirBnb host. Ended up coming here for dinner, and was very…read morehappy I listened to her recommendation. The inside is small and narrow, but has plenty of tables in the plaza outside. I opted for a seat at the bar. The bartender/manager(?) was VERY friendly and patient with my lack of Spanish. Eventually I was able to communicate to him to just order whatever 4 tapas he thought were the best and any beer that wasn't an IPA. Ended up with the patatas allioli dall negre, croquettes iberic, pop a la gallega, and fruita patata brie. All of the dishes I enjoyed, but my favorites were the Patatas bravas and pop a la gallega. Patatas were cooked perfect, the allioli was rich and flavorful, a nice variation of the patatas bravas. The pop a la gallega was incredible!! In America, I usually get octopus in chirashi bowls at sushi restaurants, and they've always been chewy, rubbery filler items. Here, the octopus was very tender, the whole dish was an absolute incredible balance of flavors and textures. If I came back to Barcelona again I would definitely try and come out to Premià de Mar just to visit this restaurant again! I regret not being able to find time to come back a second time during my trip.

This is a very traditional and entirely unpretentious local Catalan restaurant, with a small…read moreoutside eating area. The interior decor looks unchanged since the 1950s - down to the wine-coloured table cloths. The menu is extensive, and is based around the rich stews, meat and seafood of Catalan cuisine. There are a few vegetarian options (eg salads, sautéed wild mushrooms in garlic) but the choice is rather limited. Their speciality is snails, but there is a wide selection of shellfish, including razor clams, squid and octopus. Similarly, carnivores are well catered for, right down to tripe for the more adventurous. (I said it was traditional...) Portions are generous, and there's a menu del dia of two or three courses. A feature is that every table has fresh garlic cloves and tomatoes, and they bring huge great slabs of toasted bread to the table, so you can make your own pa amb tomàquet. I did all right, but to me the point of a restaurant is that they do the work for you, and it is a bit messy. The clientele are locals of all types and ages, though it does skew towards the older generation. Service is reasonably efficient and friendly. The main downside is parking - it's available only on the street and can be a challenge.

As a tourist staying in Montgat (conveniently just outside of Barcelona), my family and I have never been treated more poorly. Upon seeing us, the staff blatantly stared and gave us dirty looks, and continued to ignore us despite our obvious wishes to be seated. The staff was unhelpful, condescending, and refused to meet us in the middle despite our efforts to close the language barrier. We were treated as outsiders and nuisances, despite being paying customers. Such judge mental attitudes, especially from staff is appalling. Despite it being a local eatery that does not cater to tourists I still cannot understand the rude attitudes.

The artisanal bread did come with a 1.10 supplement fee - kind of tacky but entirely worth it. And the olive oil? Good grief that stuff is liquid gold. Get the bread for the olive oil alone! My lamb shank entree was a very hearty serving and cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside and succulent in. My friends had the chicken cannelloni which was much more petite yet still delish.

My boyfriend got the Ribeye, which was huge and it came with some potatoes. While the dishes were good, they weren't anything spectacular but it did remind us of home cooking. The service here was also really good as our server checked in with us throughout to ask if we needed anything. Overall, the experience was good and the meal was very affordable especially given the size of the Ribeye Steak. We would definitely come back here again.

They also had Majou Beer (from Malaga) on draft which is hard to find outside of Malaga so had to have one. We ordered a couple of starters and a couple of what I'd say were bigger plates. The pork belly marinated in lime was tasty but the fresh Mackerel stole the show! The Truffled eggs with foie and mushrooms was finished table-side and was amazing. We missed that the Cuttlefish had squid ink-no matter, so light and exquisite-only complaint would be to have more cuttlefish. Service was engaged and friendly from start to finish. Tapeo reminds me of some of the regional restaurants where you want to try the entire menu at once cause it all looks so good. Tapeo is now on the list of "must stops" when in Barcelona!
