    Gazpacho
    Tyler T.

    If you come during the weekday they have a menu of the day option that was a really good value at a great price. It came with a gazpacho, some fish, a creme brûlée, and a white wine. All of it tasted amazing! The gazpacho actually filled me up, and it was really good. It was a cold soup, but it tasted super fresh, like it was freshly blended tomatoes and other herbs and vegetables. It was also super refreshing because it was a hot day. The fish was very well cooked, and it kept the essence of a nice grilled fish, I could taste all the different parts of a fresh fish, without it being overly flavored or hindered by other tastes. Just a bit of salt to really bring it all out. The creme brûlée was also delicious and well made. Overall a great meal and a great value!

    The best tapa ever. Potato meatballs!

    Sigh. Looking back and writing reviews on my trip to Barcelona makes me V nostalgic and V hungry. Loft Del Born was almost an accident for my boyfriend and I. We had walked down this street in order to go to another tapas restaurant right next door but they were on a wait, so we decided we just couldn't wait and instead went to Loft Del Born. And my oh my I am happy we did. Every single Tapas we had was divine. And the service was top notch. We got the potato meatballs, duck confit croquetes, tomato bread, amongst others. Also the house red wine was wonderful as was the cava. the prices were also quite nice. We sat outside in their covered patio and the head lamps were a plus. Sigh - i'm still dreaming about the potato meatballs! I will recommend that one tapa to anyone I know that has Barcelona on an upcoming trip.

    Grilled octopus, definitely my fancy!

    Loft del Born saved us while my friends and I were in Barcelona for Good Friday. Nearly every other restaurant or shop was closed, and we were searching and searching for a place to have some drinks and tapas. Fortunately, this place decided it was more important to feed the tourists than stay closed for the holiday. Hallelujah! We had a very nice dining experience considering we had limited options. The menu was filled with tapas options, and drinks were plentiful with well drinks and house cocktails available. Prices were higher than what you'd normally find at Spanish restaurants, but hey, we're in a tourist spot. A ton of tapas was ordered, with some of the highlights being the grilled octopus (definitely get this one!). the sun dried tomatoes, fried croquettes, and chorizo fries. They each came in servings for two, and is enough for a hearty sampling. The only item we would pass in the future was the seared tuna. It wasn't very impressive and we could have done without it. Drinks were on point as well, and I ended up going for my personal favorites such as some classic Old Fashions. The service here was very friendly, and cared enough to remind us to watch our bags in case of thieves that lurked around at night. Thanks Loft del Born for a great night out!

    Got off the flight, walked around Barcelona, ate tapas as a late appetizer and now its dinner time. I know why this place is called Loft del Born. All the seat outside were taken so we were the only party eating in their loft. So Loft del Born was it. Decorated nicely. Very modern. Since everyone and everything was happening outside, it was a nice and quite dinner in the Loft. Dinning area to ourselves. I always try to order something unusual and different. Tonight was no exception. Ordered the calamari sandwich. Fried calamari on a black bun with sesame seeds. Very very unusual. Not sure why the black bun unless this is squid ink but not sure. It was okay. Just felt like a toasted bun with calamari in it. Nothing on the bun to give it the wow factor. Just okay. It came with a side of fries. With my calamari sandwich, I ordered the nachos. Pretty big portion. Cheese, sour cream, Pico de gallo, and jalapeños. This was really good. Not to spicy but really tasty. Fresh chips. Fresh ingredients. Made a really good nachos. We always saw the servers cause they were always running up and down the stairs. Kitchen was at the bottom of the stairs. We enjoyed our time relaxing. Taking our time. Enjoying our dinner. So if you get stuck in the Loft instead of eating outside. Enjoy the peace and quite. Almost like your own personal dinning room. We did.

    Cheeseburger bombas and nachos.

    This isn't anything special but the food is good and the price isn't too bad. We went here after another restaurant I wanted to go to was closed. It was a beautiful night and I wanted to find somewhere outside for dinner. This fit the bill with no wait. The service was a bit slow but once we ordered the food came out fast. We had a couple tapas the bombas and the nachos. Both were food. My husband also had the cheese burger which was tasty but mainly tasted like bacon. Overall a good restaurant.

    Really bad dining experience. I wouldn't go here again or recommend it to a friend. A lot went wrong during the same visit: overpriced bottled water (no tap water available), inattentive waiter, overcooked food, a large projection-screen TV with very loud blaring advertisements, slow to get bill, and the bill was inaccurate. Don't go here.

    Octopus with potatoes, tomato bread, and sangria. So yummy.
    Courtney T.

    We ordered the octopus and sangria upon asking for recommendations on our impromptu tapas crawl. The octopus and tomato bread were insanely delicious. The sangria was our favorite in Barcelona thus far.

    Happen to find this place in the Born area -- nice place to hang for lunch. Warning -- nothing in this area is open for Monday lunch, so we were lucky this was open, since we were getting hungry. This modern place serves modern tapas that are more like appetizers. Foie gras was decent. Croquettes are creamy, warm, and served in a little fryer basket. Potato, bacon, and runny egg were delicious when warm, but don't let them cool down too long.

    Great little place close to the Picasso museum. Tapas were wonderful. We had pan con tomate, nachos, chips, and octopus. Octopus was so tender, not chewy at all. Prices were very reasonable.

Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

To top it all off, the meal ended with a shot of local acorn liquor as we toasted Jordi, our other server, which also made the whole experience feel so special. And shoutout to Flor behind the bar for the fantastic margaritas and sangria! Thank you, Sabastian, Jordi, and Flor for making our Barcelona trip so unforgettable.

Then the sea bass and prawns in a coconut milk based soup...the star. Reminded me of a Thai Tom Kha soup. Overall would highly recommend. If I ever return to Barcelona, I will stop in.

The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious.

Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.
