It was a Sunday when we visited, a number of places were closed, but this place was welcoming. The tapas were closer to a 3-star rating, nothing we ordered knocked my socks off, toasted bread and ham, or sausage. Good but not memorable. The sangria was simply fantastic and the hit of the visit...we enjoyed an abundant amount of sangria which was served in great ceramic pitchers (Mark K. You could make these on your potters wheel!) Lots of shopping around, but again it was Sunday so we didn't get to enjoy many of the shops.

What a great find! We were in Barcelona for a few days and were looking for Vermuth. I read some…read morereviews on here and decided to try it out........ perfect decision. Not only was the Vermuth excellent, we also tried the Chorizo a la Sidra and it did not disappoint. I would totally recommend this place. Staff was friendly and quick to accommodate. I'm a little rusty on my spanish but they were very understanding. I can't wait to go back.

While in Barcelona we had a food tour that took us to Bodega Cala Del Vermut which was a really…read moreunique experience. They have been family owned and operated for decades! They make their own items among the classical vermouth and cured anchovies (we had the 3yr aged) which were packed with flavor. We also tried a non-alcoholic drink called bitter Kas that was truly a fun experience and went well with the other items we had. It looks small from the front but has a nice large decorated seating area just past the counter. The owner is a very nice guy and welcomed us to try anything he had. So glad we visited this Bodega full of history and many stories.

Our trusted tapas tour guide, Joe insisted it tasted nothing like Dry Vermouth. So first sip, Bam! Excellent! We love Sweet Vermut! Cala del Vermut makes their own Sweet Vermut and has it on tap. It's a very tiny, family operated restaurant that seats about eight. The tapas dishes we tried here were good, but the real winner was definitely the Sweet Vermut. I highly recommend it.

You can get wine in like a kettle and hang around outside on account that there isn't much room inside. But everything we had plus the wine was absolutly delicious. I loved the sausage pintxo and the fried anchovies. Definitely a must stop in at the Gothic Quarter.

The vermouth is pretty generic but works for a mid-day stop. Overall, fun people watching on a relaxing afternoon.

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!

Ciutat Comtal was a restaurant that I had seen recommended numerous times while I was searching for…read moreplaces to eat at in Barcelona, and after coming here I can see why. 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!

Fantastic experience as a solo diner, couldn't recommend enough!…read more There was a very scary looking line when I arrived that looked like it would take hours, but if you are alone and willing to stand at the bar, you can definitely get seated within 30mins as it moves fairly quickly (though I'm unsure about larger parties). The vibe inside is incredible, and there is so much to take in. The servers are all very friendly and chatty, and if you're solo dining like I was, you definitely will not be bored! For the food, I just asked my server what he recommended and kept getting dishes until I was full. The food was super flavorful, fresh, and delicious without being too heavy or oily. The calamari is a must and my favorite dish, but you really can't go wrong!

It's one of the most popular tapas restauraunts…read more We waited in line at 11:45AM for 12PM lunch opening on Tuesday as we heard that the lunch wait is much shorter than dinner wait. There was already a small line but we were able to be seated at opening. It's quite small inside with some tables but if you don't get a table you can eat while standing at the bar. We also saw two tables outside as well. I highly recommend the squid and codfish omelette those were my absolute favorite dishes and deserve a 5 star!!! Also ordered the anchovies as they looked popular however they were a bit too salty and fishy for me. Dishes come out fat and service is good!
