The server was excellent and a one person show, we came in the same day as Merce 2024 and had to wait a little bit but everything was delicious. We ordered the skirt steak/flank steak/pork with Chimichurri/oxtail and had to get second servings. Ochobcn is a small local neighborhood Argentinian restaurant and worth every penny. The server was truly the star of the show. He took the time to chat with us and truly looked like he loved what he was doing. read more

3rd try is the charm for sure! Had steak at 2 other tapas restaurants and was not impressed with the quality but had high hopes as this space received so many great reviews. We arrived shortly after opening and there were a few non reserved tables so we promptly snagged a table in the back. The space is small but charming. I would highly recommend making reservations because you do not want to miss this experience. We ordered several dishes and as each one was brought to the table it was evident from plating and scent alone that we were going to be satisfied. Satisfied is not generally what I strive for when dining out on vacation. I want to be transported to the culture and flavor profiles through food. Dinner here was incredible from the attentive but non pretentious service to the sheer quality and preparation of the food. A great date night spot while visiting Barcelona! They prepare your steak how you ask for it and serve it by portions of 100grams. You order the weight you want. Yes, it was very nice to meat you we also ordered the stuffed potato, gnocci, fried provolone and croquette. All solid choices and would absolutely order again. read more

Everything was delicious. Find your way to this amazing Argentinian style restaurant where literally everything tastes fresh and amazing. In order from best to yum: 1. Entraña steak- so soft and tender/juicy. Best chimichurri on top 2. Bombón de patatas- perfect bite size 3. Best crunchy pan con tomate with olive oil 4. Caprese empanada 5. Burrata with sundried tomatoes: so creamy and perfect 6. Ensalada rusa: first time trying but really good Service was perfect. 10/10 read more

Great food, service and environment. Tomato bread and calamari are a must try and the Tiramisu was to die for read more

Ochobcn - Tomato bread - Argentine Near Me - Barcelona, B

Found out about this restaurant through a simple search for restaurants in the Placa Espanya area. We wanted a place that ideally had sangria, tapas, paella, and desserts (to celebrate two people's birthdays). This place checked off all the boxes but one (does not have paella). The sangria was delicious and not too sweet. We ordered a variety of tapas including the green salad, steaks (you can choose the amount you want via grams), gnocchi, potatoes, raw salmon, tomato/olive oil bread, and croquettes. I would highly recommend the meats as they were tender and seasoned so well. For dessert we ordered chocolate mousse (must have been dark chocolate as it was not very sweet) and tiramisu. It was very nice of them to put a tea candle on both as a birthday candle. I also loved the decor of the restaurant. It was small but very cute, with a black and white movie projected onto the wall above the bar, and interesting artwork. There's also outdoor seating as well. There are English menus for those who do not know Spanish (our server was a very nice lady who also spoke fluent English). They do have a restroom and free WiFi as well, although the WiFi works better for some platforms than others (works well for Facebook and Instagram but email, not so much). Would highly recommend this place for tapas! read more

not in the busiest location but great food! the grilled octopus is off the menu (~$20) and it was a little pricey but definitely the best octopus i've had. the flavor was amazing and the sweet potato sauce in the middle pairs well with the octopus. the melted cheese dish was probably the best tapa. the only thing that would have made the meal better was if it came with some bread since the dishes are pretty salty. read more

I had a hard time finding the restaurant on my day 2 in Barcelona. But then it happened that I stumbled into the correct place because I was hungry and ready to cave into whatever was open. I was happily surprised to find myself in the correct location. I ended up dining at the bar with the lovely owners and their friend. Most places are pretty hip and trendy for me being Day 2 in Barcelona. But take a moment and stop in here to this swagging place! I was also offered a nice shot of Limoncello to share with the owners. Note- I will post a photo of the outside so as not to miss it. read more

Every dish we had was very delicious (grilled vegetables, tomato bread, sausage, & jamon iberico). I really loved their caipirinha. The staff members were helpful and friendly. I appreciated that they didn't rush us and were attentive. They had perfect timing, too: Just as we were finishing each dish, they would give us the next plate. Highly recommend! read more

Cozy, well decorated, place. Good service, excellent food. Our favorite was the meat which you could order at 100g, making it easy to taste different kinds. The tapas was also great, patatas bravas very nicely plated and tasteful. The lightly smoked salmon had a great consistency and freshness. Strongly recommend! read more

Best food in Barcelona! We were lucky enough to stumble upon this gem since it was next door to our hotel. We visited other restaurants during our stay in Barcelona, but always ended up to Ocho bcn. We ended up visiting 5 times in 4 days! The owners are cooking and serving with pride, and it shows in the food and the experience. Stay away from the tourist traps and visit Ocho bcn! Highly recommended! read more

Ochobcn - With the owners of Ocho bcn! - Argentine Near Me - Barcelona, B

Easy to find small tapas restaurant owned and run by a friendly couple. Their love for their business shows throughout. Had great sangria, several well cooked and seasoned beef servings. You order the meats in 100 gram increments. Also had Argentine type empanadas for about 3€ each and a tuna, onion and tomato salad that was perfectly seasoned. Iberian ham of course. We are only here for a few days and by no means experts on Spanish cuisine but you won't be disappointed here. Strong USD at the moment made this an inexpensive special treat. read more

During the week stay in Barcelona we've tried some highly rated places for dinner. We've tried the tourist-y places on Plaça de Espanya as well as some "hole in the wall" type of local tapas places. THIS one was definitely our favorite BY FAR!! If you want some authentic tapas and GREAT service - I'd highly recommend for you to go here! We liked this place so much, we even went to dinner here twice in a row. We tried pretty much every single item on the menu and enjoyed them all! The server was super nice and explained what's what and recommended some excellent local wine! When we came back the 2nd day, she recognized us right away and welcome us with a smile as she was super excited to have us come back. At the end of dinner she even brought us a couple of drinks on the house. Overall experience was great, food was excellent, service was outstanding! THANK YOU!! read more

Couldn't of asked for better service and food at Ochobcn (Gastrobar). The food was delicious and packed with flavor. In particular the pastries (possibly empanadas) were excellent! Would recommend this to anyone I know visiting Barcelona! read more

During our stay in Barcelona, we ate at Ochobcn. They specialize in Argentinian cuisine. We had the Burrata, Sirloin & Skirt Steak, and The empanadas. The food was good! But, the portions were a bit small. It is pretty easy to ring up a hefty bill if you come with an appetite. Follow us, on IG @Whatsheeating for more global eats! read more

Enjoyed a wonderful meal at the "Ocho" this evening. We tried the Salmon, Mozzarella and Beef Tapas and loved all three. A salad and dessert of chocolate mousse capped a wonderful evening. Atmosphere and service were wonderful. Entire meal for two was 49EUR - a good value. Definitely recommend you make Ocho part of your Barcelona experience. read more

Service was great, food was perfect that we came back for dinner the next night ! Thank you for wonderful memories read more

This is probably the best food we have had while in Barcelona. Not only was the food delicious, but the entire staff was incredibly friendly. They were very accommodating to our gringo english speaking selves and didn't make us feel bad for not speaking their language very well :) Get one of the steaks or the pork. Or anything for that matter - I'm sure you won't be disappointed! read more

We had a great dinner, food is amazing. The flavors are so well put together. It was a joy to eat here. And very well also english speaking waitress. We will defiantly go back before we leave Barcelona. A winner in our books. read more

Great service. Mom and Pops place serving iberian and Argentinian dishes with simple ingredients and complex flavor. Had the special of the day grilled octopus - to die for. Also many other dishes all delicious including but not limited to: iberian secret pork, skirt steak, grilled veg, slow cooked oxtail, empanadas, burrata, iberian ham croquettes, etc. Ended with a solid mousse style tiramisu for a scrumptious conclusion to this meal. Would go back! read more

Great steak for good price! Place is tiny make sure you booked a table for your casual or romantic dinner. Friendly stuff. Malbec forever.

Great restaurant! We had a tasty dinner before heading back to San Francisco. We had two fantastic steaks with their freshly made gnocchi and several of their empanadas and all was so fresh and flavorful! We will come back again. read more

Two visits in one week. Great service, food and ambience. Everything we ordered was good. We tied three different grilled meats, grilled vegetables, a salad with kale and beets, gnocchi with pesto (so good we ordered a second order). The firs night there we had our best pitcher of sangria in Barcelona, thus far, the second night it wasn't newly as good. For desert we had the tiramisu. All the food was very good so we went back a few nights later! The food was equally as good the second time! read more

Fantastic atmosphere and food. Short menu but each item is just wonderful, tapas as well as main courses (different kinds of beef and pork, which can be ordered in any kind of portion). The waitress and probably owner is a real sweet young lady. This place is definitely to be recommended. read more

Really fun spot. High quality meat done very well for ~casual prices; the grilled vegetable side was also really well made with good olive oil and seasoning. Chill atmosphere, looks like a local joint. I don't know why it's billed as a hamburger joint on yelp, it's more of an Argentinian grill. The secreto pork and Argentinian t-bone were great (you order by the 100/200 grams so you can try different meats). The nice gentleman grilling the meats is right by the bar. Well worth a visit. read more

By far the best food and service we have have had in Barcelona! Amazing tapas and every meat dish is incredible! Will definitely be returning read more

Amazing!!!! Great service and amazing food! A must try! The gnocchi was the best melt in your mouth gnocchi we have ever had! And I love my gnocchi! read more

Stumbled upon while looking for late night takeaway and boy were we glad we did! The owners were very accommodating and friendly and the food was outstanding! The empanadas were fresh and flavorful and the homemade gnocchis were as good, if not better, than most Italian restaurants I've been to. If you're in Barcelona, it's a hidden gem worth checking out. read more
