Cute tapas bar in the heart of the shopping district. Their tapas were decent but nothing that particularly stood out. Good wine at a decent price. read more

Excellent tapas in the area next to Maria del Mar church. Nice surprise considering low rating on Google Maps. Baby squid and garlic shrimp are highly recommended! read more

This place was a nice place to sit and relax. I can't lie and say all the dishes were worth raving about;however, there were some standouts. The patatas bravas was amazing and so was the tomato bread. The sangria was VERY sweet. I don't mind sweet things but this was almost obscene. The service was good through! So good in fact that it added a whole star to this review. I would recommend this to someone who had never been to Barcelona as a starter restaurant. 3/5 read more

We stopped at this restaurant since it was the only one open during late lunch hours. The servers were very nice. Service was quick too. We ordered a few tapas: Jamon croquettes, manchego cheese, prawns in garlic sauce and squid. The tapas were all delicious. We also ordered the sangria. It was good but not the best. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Out of Country Review - Spain Went for dinner at Lonja De Tapas on Sunday night. A forgettable dining experience in a place with too many other great restaurants to merit a return. Quality: A mixed meal at Lonja De Tapas, which was a pivot due to the limited restaurants open on Sunday night. The highlights were the lightly breaded Fried Calamari, the hefty Bombas, and the sweet and savory Fried Camembert. I was less of a fan of the super sweet Sangria, the ultra rich Garlic Shrimp, and the strange Salmon Tartare. Quantity: Tapas menu with many small plate options. Value: Decent prices. Ambiance: Lonja De Tapas is located in the El Born neighborhood of Barcelona. It is in a short stretch with several other restaurants and bars. They have tables out on the cobble stone street, and then a long and narrow inside space with walls that either are or look like they have been in place for ages. Crowd: Fairly busy for dinner. Service: Distracted staff. read more

We came here for lunch on our last full day in Barcelona. We stumbled upon this place as we walked around the El Born area. There are several restaurants in this area and I'm glad we ended up at Lonja de Tapas! I ordered the chicken and vegetables paella and bravas - both were great! The paella could've been shared between two people; we had a lot of leftovers. The bravas were amazing, by far the best ones I've had in Barcelona. read more

On our last night in Barcelona (22 Sep 2019), four of us dined at Enjoyable Evening at Lonja de Tapas - Montcada. My husband and I were in the area earlier in the day and checked out several menus. This place wasn't crowded, so we got a table right away. We all had a delicious sample of tapas. My husband and I shared garlic flavored prawns, grilled squid, traditional Catalan flatbread with tomato and olive oil, and fried Camembert with a mixed berry sauce. My friends had Pulpo, Manchego cheese, the flatbread, and grilled squid, Everything was excellent. We had wine (Cantamañanas, a Tempranillo grape) and beer with our meal. As we were getting ready to leave, it started to pour, so we decided to hand around and have a bottle of wine. Good decision. Service by our waiter fine. I would definitely return for another great meal. read more

The food is not great for the prices. In a city like Barcelona you will get much better food anywhere else you go

We came here for a tapas dinner one night after visiting the Picasso Museum nearby. I have to agree that the prices are bit high for tapas but the quality of food is makes up for it. We waited a while before our waitress to our table since they were short staffed before the peak dinner hour. We ordered 4 tapas with the Catalan tomato bread. The tuna was my favorite by far! I loved the soy sauce dressing and the black sesame. The ham croquettes were mostly potato with only bits of ham. The tomato bread didn't only had specks of tomato on there compared to what we had the night before. We mistakenly got the chicken nuggets instead of shrimp, but we did get the shrimp at the end. The Camembert cheese was really delicious! The wine was very good as expected. Overall, the food here was just OK...nothing to rave about. The service could be more attentive as opposed to feeling rushed. You may want to choose another place if you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas. read more

Not terrible. But the worst place we've eaten in Spain so far after being here for a week. Waiter was not friendly at all. Manchego wasn't on par with other restaurants we've been to (and was also swimming in olive oil). Wouldn't recommend. There are plenty of other good places to eat that are better priced. read more

Tough one to rate, because I loved its area, decor, & vibe, just that 2 out of the 4 food items were just average...but boy, was the sangria the strongest ever!!! Definitely would come back to get hammered just for this, and dirt, dirt cheap too, considering in a trendy, historic area. The chicken skewers were ok (quite big chunks, moist) but the calamares tasty and some deep fried shrimp & its accompanying mayo dip, absolutely deleesh. Look at these pics, who wouldn't want to order these lol. I even attached the receipt so I'll know what to order next time. Area-wise: definitely the spanish flair, a bit gothic with some new. Service, actually, could've been nicer but he was efficient haha. Trendy, clean washrooms in the back. This is a great place for a party for sure. Liked its open, long concept. I'll return. read more

¡DIOS MÍO! This place was amazing. We weren't that hungry so we only stopped for a bite. This sounds so American, but we had seafood all week, so we decided to just get the hamburger and the crispy chicken with the curry sauce, and we were blown away by the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I wish we were hungrier because everyone seems to enjoy their food here. We ended the evening with a Chocolate Coulant drizzled with olive oil and salt which was just sweet and just savory enough to clean our palettes. This was made perfect by our hostess who was super friendly despite being very busy! Also, great WiFi and atmosphere! Thanks! read more

Lonja de Tapas - Chocolate coulant with olive oil and salt - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

The very decent 10$ menu del dia for lunch is what we went here for. It was a three course meal ( first course, main dish, dessert) with bread and drink included. The gazpacho was excellent, with no cream in this one, in a rather large bowl. Croquetas were also very good, having tried many throughout Madrid and Barcelona. I chose the sea bream over potatoes for the main course, which was a whole fish and very substantial. Potatoes were delicious. Everything was plated nicely as well. The Creme brûlée was subpar, but overall this was a great meal for 10$. (+) gazpacho (+) croquetas read more

I have been to Barcelona several times in the last couple years and these were some of the best tapas I have had here. Try the potatoes with chorizo and a fried egg - WOW. Service was great and quick which is not always the case here. Definitely worth trying. read more

One of the best food experiences I had in Barcelona. Stumbled upon this place while looking for dinner around 10 pm. Very clean and brightly lit, and fast service! Standouts: SANGRIA: we got pitchers of both the red wine and the sparkling (white). Both were delicious and very strong. Careful! BOMBAS: one of the BEST things I've ever put in my mouth. Meatball surrounded by potato, deep fried and with a garlic tomato sauce. OMG. We tried finding this in other tapas places but couldn't.. I want to go back to Spain just so I can eat this. SEAFOOD PAELLA: Outstanding, and a huge portion. We ordered the 2-person portion to share with 4 people, and it was still massive! I'm not a huge fan of rice but I couldn't stop stuffing my face with the paella. Wish it had more prawns/shrimp but overall it was great. CROQUETTES/KROKETS: Dutch staple done very well here. They tasted as fresh as a croquette could taste (after being deep fried.. lol) and I think they said something about the ham being handmade here (or something). PATATAS BRAVAS: We ordered this everywhere we went. Outstanding. Overall good service and great prices for quality food.. and convenient location in the Born district, near the Picasso museum. Wish I could come back sooner than later! Dreaming about this food every night. Much love from California! read more

Stumbled upon this place when me and my friend wanted to go to Tapeo anem de tapes next door, which is closed on Mondays. This was our first tapas experience, and we were pleasantly surprised by their tasting menu and their level of service. For 18 euros a person, you can get the tasting menu which comes with at least 8 different plates. I say at least because we got 3 extra plates for free, which was great but completely unnecessary because we were beyond stuffed by the time we had tasted all the plates in our menu. My absolutely favorite tapas that I still dream about: -Catalan beans. Never thought I could like beans so much. -Patatas bravas. We had this dish at 2 other tapas places in Barcelona and I've got to say that Lonja de Tapas does it best. The sauces were phenomenal! Also loved the staff. Being amateurs, we didn't think the tasting menu would fill us up, so we tried to order a paella to go along with it. The waiter chuckled and told us that it's a loooot of food and that we wouldn't need the extra dish, and I'm so glad he did because he was so right! Next time, I'd order the tapas individually instead of the tasting menu, because to be honest a couple of items on that menu were good but not that great. I'm glad I tried it though because I would never have tasted the perfection that is catalan beans otherwise. read more

We came here to sit and drink a little bit while waiting for our reservations at Tapeo. Fairly spacious with lots of seating, it wasn't as busy as other tapas locations in the vicinity. Our bottle of wine was priced ok. No service really as we were seated at the bar. Bathrooms located in the very back past the bar. read more

Tapas plates were amazing. Had garlic prawns and asparagus, grilled veggies, sangria, flatbread, spinach and goat chees croquettes and sea bass. Everything was delicious. Friendly and attentive service. Would definitely recommend if staying in Barcelona. read more

Came here twice, the first time was because it was the only place open after 4pm and we were starving... We found the tapas to be delicious (see pics). Calamari, pasta tags bravas, beans with chorizo and pan con tomate... Yum! Great service and drink selection, they make a good sangria and mojito too. Also, FYI they take Discover card which wasn't easy to find (Discover card doesn't charge you the 3%conversion). The second time we had a prefix lunch, it was mostly good but not as good as the tapas, price was good and came with delish cava. They also have a lot of room for big parties if you need. The location is super convenient, right nearby the Picasso museum. read more

Stopped by after a great flamenco show down the street! Originally went next door to the pinchos bar but after feeling unsatisfied with the cold average tasting bites, I was drawn in by Lonja's menu. We probably would've gone for the tapas tasting menu (we ended up ordering 4 of the 6) but since we had a few pinchos each next door, we decided to just order less tapas individually. ***Brava spicy potatoes - comes with two sauces drizzles on top..a white one and red spicy one. Very delicious and filling. Saw lots of people order this. ***Tuna belly with green tomatoes, onions, olives and peppers - loved the tomatoes..tuna belly was okay. I thought it would be raw but it was cooked. For some reason, I think tuna tastes better raw. ***Pimento peppers - my FAVORITE!! These peppers are not very spicy and extremely addicting. ***Fried squid - expected calamari (does fried squid indicate something else in Spain?) but was more like grilled squid. Squid was very oily and slimy. Couldn't manage to finish this dish. ***Catalan flatbread - not my favorite as the bread was very hard and not warm. The sauce, which is usually very good, didn't have much flavor at Lonja. The hostess at the front was so nice! Our waitress was also great. Everyone's English was decent..something I learned to appreciate traveling in Barcelona. The only thing that could've been better was they forgot our squid and it came after we finished everything else. I couldn't quite communicate to the waitress that we didn't want it anymore if they hadn't started cooking it. Overall, great tapas place with lots to sample! Just what we were looking for that night. read more

Absolutely fantastic food. Such a surprise. We thought it was going to be a tourist trap. Fresh well cooked and great price. read more

Nice looking place with a good menu. We sat before checking reviews and were hoping it would be better than anticipated. I'm pleased to say that it was. The restaurant was extremely busy even with additional seating available. All the staff was hustling. The open kitchen was nice to see. The chef clearly ran a tight ship. We ordered a tapas special with like 5 items (plus bread) for a reasonable price (can't recall the amount). It included green peppers, Iberian jamon, patatas bravas, grilled squid, fried prawn in a wonton wrapper, Every part of the meal was delicious. The squid has been some of the best we've had in Barcelona yet. The prawn is hard to rate due to it's fried preparation, but the presentation is cute and they were delicious (though small). This place definitely deserves a chance. read more

Great food Near the Picasso museum. The patatas were great The padron peppers were outstanding read more

The risotto was excellent. The vibe for a lunch was just right; not too crowded or too empty. Service was attentive. I will come back for dinner one night. My sense is that prices are 10% higher than they should be but that's ok for tourists since they have menus in many languages & food/service was above average. read more

Great tapas place, more restaurant style vs many of the bar style tapas places. Very nice ambiance, quick service.

Tapas you'd expect to see, nothing really stands out. You get a decent meal in a nice restaurant in a central location. Our waiter was quite rude but everybody else was fine. Restaurant is large, clean with neat bathrooms. read more

Good tapas but what? The tomato-bread is not courtesy of the house and you have to pay for it?

With the likes of Xampanyet 10 mts away this is a restaurant that Libes of the people that Xampanyet cannot accommodate. Quite expensive for tapas, food was not bad, but 4.70 euro for patatas bravas tells it all.... read more

Sat down, waited 10 minutes. Never even acknowledged our presence....NEXT! I would recommend to move down the road. Didn't taste the food, so can't comment. read more
