It's in the neighborhood where we like to stay, and it's super dog-friendly, which is ideal for when we travel with our pup! Even if we weren't traveling with our dog, we would still return to La Guapa. The fact that their tapas are quite good, their prices are reasonable, and the staff have always been very friendly means that I really can't find a complaint about the place! It's also a really cute space, and typically full of locals, which is a nice respite from the really touristy areas of the city. The staff speaks a little English, so you shouldn't feel intimidated if you're an English-speaking tourist, but it will definitely be easier if you can speak Spanish! So, if you want to enjoy some tapas and vermouth in an environment that feels more like Barcelona's version of your local pub wherever you're from, La Guapa is a great option! Enjoy!

It's about a 6 minute taxi ride from there. We were seated in the back room with the writing covering the walls. The front bar seemed a little livelier but we took what was offered. Husband had house red wine (3.50 euros) and I had sangria (4.50 euros). Good pours for both. We started with the red shrimp (gambillos) in a lemongrass sauce, about 6 shrimp for 15 euros. Then grilled octopus (which was very tender) over mash potatos and snap peas for 15 euros. We also had a side of grilled bread (4 pieces) for 3.5. We also ordered the Pepita beef with mash potato but took home for dinner as we were full (18 euros). We finished with the homemade corn ice cream with carmelized popcorn and raspberries, which was very unique at 6.5. We added our names to the wall to top off the meal. Service was quick and friendly. Total bill was 85 euros including 5 drinks. It was our best meal in Barcelona so far.

Our first day in Barcelona and we chose Bodega 1900 for dinner well in advance. My friend…read morerecommended this place to me for dinner and it didn't disappoint! Make a reservation beforehand, maybe even a month in advance, they are a popular restaurant and will get booked. We were quickly seated by the friendly waitress who explained to us the option of picking the tasting menu. We would set a price that we were willing to spend for dinner per person and the restaurant will provide us with tapas that equals up to the price. We decided on 70 euro each which gave us a grand total of around 15 tapa dishes. This was a lot of food and you bet we were stuffed by the end of the meal! Everything was so delicious, the meat and seafood were all excellent quality. Standout tapas include the sea urchin, grilled razor clams, Russian salad, Iberian ham, tomato bread, foie gras, pork jowl sandwiches and mackerel. Overall, it was an amazing start to our stay in Barcelona and a definite food highlight. If you're willing to shell out on some cash (and why not, you're on a vacation!), I highly recommend Bodega 1900 for a great dinner experience.

Fried anchovies were small and delicate and very delicious. Lobster rice was good. The octopus was a bit mushy and bland. The two stars of the show were the razor clams - wow! And the tenderloin with foie gras. This was our first meal in Barcelona and we were famished, so this review might be biased. But based on all the Yelp Elite recommendations we were very impresssed with Vinitus. Surprisingly the bill was not as high as I expected. Would definitely recommend .

The main worker spoke English and let us know what food was available to order. Music was fun and funky. They sell homemade vermut, cava brut nature, chips, olives, piparres and salsa vermella. Should have bought their olives (2,70 € for 150g) to go! - Vermut (2,60 €) - smooth with the slightest medicinal note. Really liked it. Came with a delicious olive. - Vermut reserva (3,80 €) - more depth and flavour compared to the regular vermut. Try both to see the difference. - Carxofa (2,40 €) - artichokes with sundries tomatoes and black olives. Decent. - 2x Pintxo seito (2,00 € each) - anchovies with olives. Fantastic. - 1/2 Calamar/ventresca (3,90 €) - squid with olives and piparres. Was surprised this was only a half portion. Squid had a firm, pleasant texture. - Patates gruixudes (2,90 €) - homemade chips. They added some of their salsa vermella, which soggied up the chips. Would ask for it without. - Cured tuna (7,80 €) - came with almonds. Never have tried tuna this way. Interesting texture. This portion was more than enough. Our favourite meal in Barcelona.

Talk about delicious! This was my first meal during my trip to Barcelona and it did not disappoint…read more Wine and tapas, Bae! Because you know you gotta get some of that when you're in Spain. I'm here to tell you that the tapas were tapa-ing hardcore. They were simply scrumptious! Saw this place during my walk down Rambla de Catalunya. It's perfectly tucked right in the heart of the busy street, and they have a lovely patio area that's right in the thick of it all. Unfortunately, the patio was full and busy, so I opted for a table inside. Definitely wasn't a bad choice. Their interior is so cute and cozy! The Spanish bodega vibes were swarming all over the place. I just loved it. I've learned that the service element in Spain is generally very different from the US. In saying this; don't expect to be wowed by the service here. But the tapas are truly scrumptious! I enjoyed the followed tapas: Grilled prawns - Geeeezuuus! These were mouthwatering! I grew up eating prawns without the heads and skins on, but now I understand why they keep them on here. The prawn heads preserve all of the juiciness and flavors. These were cooked and seasoned perfectly and I could not get enough. Fried potatoes - Amazing! I've had these at Spanish restaurants in the US, but there really IS a difference in the way that they're prepared here. The crispiness is just delightful, but it's the sauces that really did it for me. Not sure what kind of sauces were used (one red and one white) but they added a beautiful taste to these already yummy potatoes. Meat croquettes - Scrumptious! These croquettes have a mix of minced meats inside that are so tender and flavorful. And the breading is absolutely perfect. They paired perfectly with my wine too. Speaking of wine; the Spanish red wine that I had was dynamite! Can't comment on the specific varietal but it was so smooth and silky. I meeeaan... dinner was delicious!!! They set the bar pretty high for the restaurants that followed. Although the service wasn't the best, the wine and tapas most certainly impressed. I'd come back for more of those tasty tapas any day.
