    Our favorite restaurant in L'Eixample called "NAPA".
    Ann F.

    Where does the time go!? I feel like we just returned from the beautiful city of Barcelona yesterday! Unfortunately, that's not the case and I am super behind on my reviews! Oops! I'd like to preface by disclosing the underwhelming feeling I had leaving 85% of restaurants in Barcelona. As a United States native, I am aware of the stigma Americans get for being narrow-minded in regard to other cultures. However, I feel I truly do my best to learn, understand and appreciate as many cultures as I can. I don't know where along the path I dropped the ball, but when it came to Spanish cuisine - I will be the first to admit - I missed the memo that every restaurant would be serving the same variety of tapas/pinchos just on different platters and sometimes at different costs. ... with the exception of one restaurant in L'Eixample called "NAPA". And here's how we discovered it ... After an exhausting day of sightseeing, my husband & I reluctantly got ready and hit the streets of Barcelona to celebrate New Year's Eve. Without a plan in mind, but "hangry" tummies on the line, we passed far too many dining opportunities and started to become discouraged. Not but a couple minutes later, my husband pointed out a sign across the street that simply read "NAPA". I asked him "Could it be? Could it be Napa as in California 'Napa'? Like, American Napa??" It didn't take but a few more steps to recognize the grapes etched on the streak-free glass doors to confirm we finally found a place we'd both enjoy! Like many other restaurants in Barcelona, NAPA displayed the evening's menu outside the restaurant: Starter: Crab-Stuffed Avocado Roll -YEP First: Grilled Lime Shrimp Skewers -YEP Second: Peanut Butter & Jelly Foie Gras Bombons -YEP Third: Iberian Bacon-Wrapped Scallops with Sweet Pea Puree -YEP Fourth: Miso-Marinated Alaska Black Cod with Wakame Seaweed Salad -YEP Fifth: Steak Sirloin with Truffle & Trompetas de la Muerte Sauce -YEP Dessert: Housemade Cannelloni -YEP ... Using the menu as a fair foreshadow, no one had to ask me twice to try it out! I gathered NAPA to be a New American concept fusing the likes of fresh Californian ingredients with traditional Spanish/Catalan family-style cuisine (aka: best of both worlds) and they proved my theory to be correct! The trick was to see if they had room for us. Sure enough, we arrived late enough that after a very short wait, we were seated in their cozy main dining area. We were greeted right away with a warm, creamy Truffle Risotto amuse bouche! It was lovely and everything I needed! Honestly, all courses served featured the perfect balance of flavors from both cuisines to satisfy my 'wanderlusting' palate! #happygirl But the food wasn't the only aspect of NAPA that harmoniously fused American & Catalan ideologies... and we have the owners to thank for that! The female owner is American and the male owner is Catalan. Around 11:50pm, the female owner dropped off party supplies and a plate of 12 grapes. Adam & I chuckled because we had no clue what this was for! We hoped maybe NAPA turned into a club after midnight. Haha. Moments later she returned with the male owner who educated us on the Catalan tradition of consuming one grape per second leading up to the turn of midnight. They explained the wanted to stay true to all NYE traditions... and attempting to do it all made for the best comic relief for both us and the young German couple we met in the restaurant. So how did we ring in the New Year? Wearing brightly colored masks on our face, a glass of champagne in hand, and a mouth-full of grapes barely allowing our lips to kiss at the stroke of midnight, aside the most hospitable group of service staff ever! In conclusion, if you too want to experience the flavors of Catalonia but with a wider variety of plates, head to NAPA next time you're in Barcelona. I can honestly say - you will not be disappointed!

    Absolutely delicious food. I highly recommend Napa. My wife and I visit every time we're near Barcelona. You must try!

They did bus the tables to seat people with a noticeable quickness. They have a rotating daily menu that changes the specials each day. We ended up here 3x and each time had different foods. Some evenings we enjoyed make the others so it'll depend on what menu items you get each day. Food came quick, service was prompt, and prices were more than reasonable.

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!!!

Not only was his service incredible, but he also gave us amazing recommendations for our upcoming trip to Buenos Aires in two weeks. The food was hands-down our best meal in Barcelona. Every dish felt authentic and full of flavor. Our favorites were the accordion-style baked potato topped with creamy aioli and spicy sauce, and the truffle brie toast, which was completely out of this world. 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. We'll be talking about this meal for a long time!

The inside of this place js small but has great decor, you feel like your stepping back into medieval times. It's perfectly at home in the gothic quarter. I had the bread to start with the tomato spread, this was very good. The spicy potato was phenomenal, a smothered baked potato in a nice blend of sauces. 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. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

We had read reviews that the food scene…read moreextended well into the night, so we decided that even though it was 10:30pm, we would still walk over to Tapeo and see if we had any luck getting seating. 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.

(Was absolute rubbish and waste of time) The service: minimal Food: Below average paella Portion: I have had bigger tapas for babies Drinks: I have no idea what was served. Some form of watered down alco that's neither here nor there All in all, not a good experience at all. Agree I went with Sandeman so part to blame would be them. But my view is that if you love food, care about your customers, love your business; then care for your brand and don't join crappy partnerships. And if you plan to do that; suck it up and serve proper food!
