This is our favorite restaurant in Barcelona!!! We live in Michigan and visit Barcelona about once…read morea year and this is the first restaurant we go to when we land and last restaurant we hit before we leave. The food/tapas are phenomenal and it lives rent free in our head. The cozyness and vibe is great but make sure you make a reservation well ahead of time because it is quite small and I've never been able to get a walk in reservation. The staff are nice too and they have an english menu but of course it helps if you know spanish!

We were really surprised how much Casa Lolea exceeded our initial expectations!…read more We each had a couple of their sangrias and these are an absolute must try when you are here! They prefect refreshing drink to end a day of soo much walking. Our table shared the truffle risotto, patatas bravas, mini beef burger and the carrot cake. The truffle risotto was excellent and worth every penny if you are a truffle fan. The potatoes here were some of my favorites in Barcelona! I would skip the burger and the carrot cake was perfection. Service is great, wait outside for a host to greet you. A wonderful spot for dinner and sangria!

Came here for a late lunch after our Costa Bravo tour and had a great experience! We almost missed…read morethis spot because on their yelp page, they show that they close at 230pm but actually they close at 5pm. When we got there, the restaurant was pretty busy but we were seated quickly. It has a nice location because it's almost on the beach and you can see the ocean when you're eating. The staff are also very friendly and even though we weren't fluent in Spanish, they explained everything to us in English. This is a tapas restaurant but it was like a buffet style. You would go up to the counter and order what tapas you wanted (finger food) and then at the end your waitress/waiter would come and tally up everything you ate and you paid the final bill. We got a wider variety of their tapas that ranged from meat to seafood and even different types of bruschetta. All of it was so fresh and tasted amazing. And the best part was that everything is priced very reasonably considering the location, quality of food, and the portions. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a bite to eat!

They moved! They are now in Mercat de Sant Antoni. I looked all over La Rambla for them, only to…read morefind out they moved. Their space is much bigger and now indoors. Same great service and same outstanding food. We ordered the chickpeas, razor clams, pork cheeks, calamari and beans and octopus. Everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back again.

As the kind gentleman mentioned, La Boqueria was just too busy and this smaller market had a better pace for Pinotxo. They have a counter with 10 bar stools and open kitchen format with food displayed at the counter. I can see seating becoming a premium as the day progresses. I arrived shortly after they opened and already there were 3 customers ordering Cafe Con Leches and Xuxos. I did the same with my Xuxo to go. I saw they had Octopus Galician style and despite the am hour couldn't resist. Pinotxo's version was very good-that said, I've had more tender Octopus. Definitely a Tapa size and pricey for the portion but gave me my fix for one of my favorite dishes before leaving Barcelona. I saw Tripe and Beef cheeks on the menu and asked one of the servers which one? She gave me a look of "I can't decide"meaning can't go wrong with either. Ordered the Beef cheeks as I've never had it. Rich, decadent and definitely not a breakfast meal-I liked it! I was told the white cubes were collagen and not fat. Definitely a dish to try. Cafe Con Leche was excellent! The Xuxo (one of Jose Andres's favorites) was amazing! Like a donut, a little bit of flakiness of a croissant and filled with this rich, delicious Crema and as if that wasn't enough coated with sugar. We loved it! One of those delicacies that sells out early. Service was engaged and friendly from all of the people behind the counter. They are located inside the Market at one of the corners (Tamarit/Urgell) before the exit. Make this stop for Xuxos and some delicacies you won't find at your typical spots in the area.

This is definitely a locals spot. We popped in for one of the stops on a Barcelona food tour. It…read morewas totally worth the stop. Apparently, Anthony Bourdain also came here? 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. Totally worth a stop in if you need a break from exploring the narrow streets surrounding this watering hole.

I don't know if it's just me as an American or what, but the temperatures of the foods was my only "complaint" per se. Some of the tapas I thought would be hot were lukewarm at best. So, I'll have to try more places to just see what's normal for Spain.

For me, this is hands-down the best pintxo spot in Barcelona! La Tasqueta de Blai is top-shelf --…read morethe selection is incredible, everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Pair it all with a cold Estrella and you've got yourself a 5-star winner! I loved the fun learning curve here: grab a plate, pick whatever pintxos catch your eye, and keep the toothpicks (of all shapes and sizes!) so your total can be tallied at the end. Some toothpicks were just holding things together -- I had to laugh at that -- but it's all part of the charm and experience. La Tasqueta was so good that we came back a few days later for another round, only to find it temporarily closed due to a plumbing issue. Sadly, we couldn't wait since we'd already hiked all over Montjuïc earlier that day. We tried another pintxo place down the block -- it was okay, but honestly, not even close to the same level. This place is amazing -- friendly, fun, and absolutely delicious. Sit inside and be dazzled by the colorful pintxos lined up along the counter, or grab a spot outside under an umbrella and watch the world go by. Loved this place... 5 stars all the way!
