    Have come here the last two times I've been to Barcelona and would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a solid no-frills dining experience. Not as busy as some other restaurants, but the food is excellent and the service is fast - important if you're doing a tapas crawl. Highly recommend the gambas and shishito peppers

    I didn't try everything our group of four ordered, but I heard good things about ibérico sliced ham, grilled steak, calamari, & even the burger. However, no one cared for the chicken skewers. They raved about the potatoes with chorizo & egg so much that I was influenced to try them; no regrets giving into peer pressure, this dish was super flavorful. I liked all three shrimp tapas (crispy, garlic, & ajillo), as well as the patatas bravas, potato omelette, & ham & cheese croquettes. To add color to my plate, I ordered grilled veggies with romesco sauce. We ended with a chocolate dessert drizzled with olive oil & salt. I'm sure each tapas bar in Barcelona is even more amazing than the next, but after a 19-hour travel day & a late-night arrival, I was pleased with this one. Beautiful outdoor seating where we enjoyed warm weather & energetic passers-by. Friendly, efficient service from our lovely Filipino waiter. A fine recommendation from our hotel's front desk staff.

    Fried egg with potatoes and chorizo from "La Rioja" with incredible homemade ham croquettes and roja sangria

    On my ventures to find amazing Spanish tapas, I happily stumbled upon Lonja de Tapas! The Homemade ham croquettes ( 4.90 € ) are an absolute MUST! They are exploding with flavors and just feel like you died and went to cheesy, gooey heaven! I also ordered the fried egg with potatoes & chorizo from "La Rioja" ( 6.90 € ) which was delicious. Perfectly cooked egg atop potatoes with a dollop of authentic chorizo... mmmm! I couldn't have had a more enjoyable lunch on a beautiful April day in the heart of Barcelona!

    Great place! We came for a mod day food break and we weren't disappointed. The tapas were great. This is a cute quiet place worth stopping in.

    Grilled duck foie gras with ginger bread. Neither component was very good.

    We had a great lunch at Celler de Tapas, so we knew that Lonja de Tapas would be just as good. The food was delicious. We ordered a variety of tapas from the menu. English menu was available and the waiters also spoke English. We had the following: - Tomato bread - I liked this tomato bread compared to La Plata. The bread was toasted and lots of yummy olive oil infused with the tomatoes. - Potato and egg with foie gras - My husband liked this dish a lot! The foie gras was not as good as his dish at El Quim, but it wasn't bad. - Eggplant, artichokes, and sundried tomatoes - So awesome since they were marinated in olive oil. - Shrimp in casserole - Out of all of the tapas, this was disappointing. The shrimps were really small. - Scallops with asparagus and peppers - Pretty good. - Tomato salad with smoked salmon - Loved this salad. The heirloom tomatoes were awesome. The red onions weren't overwhelming too. Loved the smoked salmon. It was an interesting combination of soy sauce flavors with the smoked salmon. - Crispy potatoes with spicy sauce - Complimentary which was delicious. - Octopus with potatoes - The octopus was actually fatty, but it was good. We spent around 48 euros for dinner which is pretty pricey, but at least we liked the food.

    Foie gras burger was 10 stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Foie gras burger was hands down the BEST lunch near the Picasso Museum. Perfectly cooked resting on top of sea salted potato in a delicious olive oil. Heaven. The olive oil they use is magical pixie dust. Service was slow at first, but once they submit the order via wireless device, food comes out like the Jetson's cartoon. Our server brought out complimentary patatas bravas without the mayo aioli for the kids. Bravo for the bravas !! Extensive wine list and menu "del dia" included, appetizer, entree, & dessert for 9.95 Euro. Completely worth it. Outdoor seating is the usual + 15%, but if you sit inside you will enjoy the modern lighting and decorative varnished wooden repurposed wine crates.

    Great tapas. We had grilled vegetables, fried calamari and Pulpo Gallego. Everything was delicious.

    Calamari
    Todd N.

    What a random find this place was! My original intention was going to this other restaurant in the Gothic area, but the menu was entirely Catalynan and a bar setting, and it just wasn't right for a lunch setting with my family. We veered off and found this gem. What drew our attention to this place was their lunch special: 3 courses + drink for 9.95 Euros only if you inside but we had no problem with that. I ordered the calamari, beef filet, and chocolate/marscapone dessert and of course a white wine. I really enjoyed each dish, and it was quite a good serving size! I was leery that they may have downsized each dish because of the special lunch deal, but I was so full afterwards. My favorite dish was the beef filet as it was cooked perfectly and it just broke apart with great seasoning and flavors. It was spot on. I also really enjoyed the dessert. I don't often eat things with marscapone but glad that I got to have some on this trip! Definitely coming back for this lunch special!

    Lightly fried large prawns
    Anna M.

    I really enjoyed this place. There was a group of 10 or so of us, all exchange students. The waiter was extremely patient and accommodating. I ordered the prawns which were simply amazing- lightly and perfectly fried. No need to peel these bad boys, just eat them whole (that's how good). The mojito was also extremely fresh, I just wish there had been a bit less ice. A bit pricy, but good portions and quality. I would definitely go back.

    Tapas for everyone
    Andy S.

    Cool little place that we stumbled upon during a Gothic stroll. The prices weren't right, but the variety of tapas were what we were looking for. Tip Try a little of everything. I am sure there is something that most will like. Shrimp was a safe hit for us.

    Wilson L.

    I thought this place was decent and above average. Cool ambiance and good service. It's pricey but most of the restaurants in the area are too. It's not fast food tapas like some others have said. It's better than that. An overall nice place. Try it.

    The kickoff!

    While with our group, we were treated to a wonderful lunch. The location was amazingly difficult to arrive at. This was our introduction to the Gotic area in Barcelona. The restaurant is an artist's thought. The atmosphere is right out of an old movie. Dark, quiet and a rest from the hustle outside. Our menu was prepared ahead of our arrival. So the menu was also planned with excellent care. Sun dried tomatoes with parmigiana, artichokes with pesto olive oil. Green peppers with Maldonado salt. Crispy coated prawns and homemade cod croquettes. Never, with the exception of business meals have I ever had such a delicious experience. And this was part of a trip! Lunch, wine and excellent conversation rounded this experience. There was a small and for me, not needed dessert. Three chocolate ice cream. Three 3 count them 3 types of chocolate. I really love this place.

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.

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

It is tight inside, and we were tucked into the back room, but in a cozy way. Service is slow in that classic European way, not sad slow, but the kind of slow that reminds you to savor the moment because you are on vacation. The menu descriptions were a little vague, so we took a few stabs in the dark. The eggplant dish we ordered ended up being my favorite, and the hummus with lamb was also very good. I usually love olives, but these did not hit for me. They were a bit too dry and firm, so buyer beware if you are picky about olives. All in all, a charming spot for a romantic vacation dinner.

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!
