I wavered between giving this place a 4 or 5 star because it's really good & reasonable. It's a cozy little bar/restaurant with lots of charm. We mainly had various appetizers such as carpaccio, tuna, cheese salad, potatoes, croquettes & Gambas. Everything was great. It's hard to say what I liked the best because it was all tasty. Our service was good the food took about 20-25 minutes to come out. This hasn't been my favorite restaurant in Barcelona but it's definitely top 10! I would recommend this spot you will enjoy it- Happy eating!! read more

The Foie appy is outstanding. The proprietor and his staff were very helpful in choosing our menu and wine. It was such a wonderful experience that we returned two days later. We spoke no catalunya or Spanish but they assisted us. Simply wonderful. read more

Staying at the Hotel Colon next to the Cathedral, this was a short walk and didn't disappoint! Tucked away on a side street, this cosy little space was the perfect welcome to Barcelona. I was welcomed as a solo traveller and had a crisp white wine (just €4) in front of me whilst I checked out the menu. All sorts of Spanish and French cheese tempted me from the display case but I saw the duck confit salad so skipped the cheese. A couple of ham and cheese croquettes (just €1.20 each, I inhaled two, you *must* get at least one) and some bread with tomato (rustic bread that's rubbed with tomato for just a hint of flavor and grilled) and I was in heaven. The shredded confit duck sat on top of a beautiful fresh salad with tiny raspberries. One of the rare occasions I didn't feel the urge to ask for salt and pepper. I read my book, enjoyed another wine and people-watched. The check came to €16, which is amazing (I pay that much for a single glass of wine in Boston). read more

Onofre - Bread with tomato (3 large pieces), Croquettes with ham and cheese and the most delicious duck confit salad. - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

Terrific find for outstanding food and great evening. Owners were fabulous and helpful and suggested outstanding and reasonable wines to accompany the tapas. Absolute finest singular tapas dish we enjoyed in our travels, foie gras shavings in Brandy sauce. We had to go back two days later to have this dish. Nice quiet place with excellent staff. A dream tapas/enoteca where they really take care of you. read more

If you're looking for a little charm, friendly familial ambiance, very good food and reasonable prices, do have a meal at Onofre. Just a block from our hotel (Ohla), this establishment turned out to be a delightful surprise. We asked our server, a charming and helpful woman, for her recommendations and ordered exclusively based on those items. Not a single dish disappointed. We also asked for her recommendation for a nice tempranillo and we again followed her recommendation with a very moderately priced (19 euro) bottle. The wine, Ostatu, was fabulous, one of the most enjoyable Spanish wines we had on our trip, most of them priced at 2 and 3 times the price. Octopus is a food my wife has not found appealing in the past, but she devoured Onofre's "octopus timbale" dish as well as their grilled asparagus with a romanesco tapenade that was delicious. We liked the tapenade so much, we asked if they sold it (they sell some package items in the front of the restaurant), but they didn't. A standout was the tuna stuffed piccolo pepper which literally melted in your mouth. The tomato bread accompanied the dishes nicely. We finished the meal with a generously portioned selection of Spanish cheeses. For a wonderful casual dining experience with very good food and wine, Onofre is the place to go in Barcelona. read more

Onofre - Bar owner - Mediterranean Near Me - Barcelona, B

This is one of my all-time favorite Catalan restaurants in Barcelona. My sweetie and I go here periodically for a special treat. It's a classy joint with high quality food and friendly service, and yet the prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. The food is served tapas-style so you can try several different things on the menu if you're quite hungry, or just order one or two plates if you just want a snack to go with your wine. Aside from the traditional selection of cured meats and cheeses, they also have quite a few patés to try and other dishes that often have fruit integrated in an amazing sweet+savory combo. A few of my favorite dishes are the duck confit with strawberry-balsamic glaze, the pear paté, and the pear goat cheese tartine. I'm drooling just thinking about it now! read more

As much as I love charcuterie and tapas, after being here for several days, I felt vegetable deprived. When I reviewed Onofre's menu with various salads, I had to eat here! We ordered artichoke salad which I devoured. I also devoured the salad that came with pear goat cheese sausage tart. The tart itself was delicious but I could only eat tiny bit of it because it was too rich. Eels and mushrooms were also delicious, though I felt badly about eating the baby eels when I saw how little they were. The oven baked crustacean was super rich and all I could taste was cream and more cream. If I was here on my own, I would have been truly happy just ordering their salads and vegetables, but my husband would have mutinied. One other note, great wine selection by the bottle, just wish they served them by the glass too. read more

As noted in previous reviews, a quaint gem of a find in a touristy area laden with underperforming restaurants. So excellent was our lunch (goat cheese pastry pie - my wife's favorite 'bite' in Barcelona; asparagus, ham and pine nut salad; iberico croquettes, and a wonderful wine selection) that we plan to spend our final meal here. Given Onefre's small size, a reservation is probably wise during peak hours. As a brief update -- dinner was excellent -- the duck confit, iberico ham shavings and beef carpaccio all extremely delicious, as was our wine: PSI Ribero del Douro)! read more

My friend I were looking for small and interesting spot for a glass of wine and a snack on a Saturday evening. Onofre is exactly what we were looking for and more! Its long, intimate space in the front is like a combined specialty grocer, cheese and wine shop with a few high-top wine barrel tables where we could have a glass of wine and cheese plate. Iberico hams hung along the wall on one side and an innovative wine bottle display covered the length of the other wall (bottles for sale and consumption, a wide selection too). In the back is a full service restaurant with about 8-10 tables intimately arranged. I cannot comment on the restaurant food, but a quick look at the menu, it looked enticing. We ordered a selection of 5 cheeses. All were amazing! One word of warning, the portions were HUGE! In a good way. Comparatively, in the US, a cheese plate had one or two servings of each cheese. At Onofre, our plate had at least 5 servings of each! It was too much for two people, but we gladly attempted to eat it all. I assumed the gentleman behind the counter was the owner. He was very informative and hospitable. This was our favorite find in Barcelona! read more

We ate here for lunch and were bowled over. We had a foie gras salad, grilled provolone cheese with raspberries, and a timbal of young beans with ham and sesame oil. Very high-end eating without being snooty. Portions are generous but not overwhelming. read more

We were absolutely elated to find this place! Very charming little wine bar that happens to serve some amazing food as well. Ingredients are very high-quality and if you're a foodie you'll have to come here. Food can be a bit pricey but very worth it and the wines are very cheap yet exquisite and excellent. Very friendly service though I think only the lady speaks English. read more

Small place with amazing food and locals. Close to my hotel, and after a day of site seeing and a nap I needed a little something going. Relaxed environment, kind to this of us struggling to recall our high school Spanish, and everything on point food and wine wise. Cava, 2 glasses of wine and 2 tapas (pate w/ pears, goat cheese dish in pie crust with pear compote and side salad 18.50 Euro). Incredible deal for a night to read, relax and truly feel like I was part of a Spanish neighborhood... which was funny as this is in hotels central, but worth seeking out! read more

I love this place, good wine and good people. Foods is great, owner is very kind and nice .

My friend and I stopped while staying in the Gothic quarter this past week. It became our favorite place for a nightcap and bite to eat! "Marisol" (proprietress?) was a delight and helped us non-Spanish speakers pick food and wine every visit. The chorizo here was FANTASTIC!! One night, Marisol insisted on us having the Rosé Cava (champagne) with our tapas...we hesitated, afraid of it being too sweet like in the U.S. It was wonderful! You must visit...and tell Marisol "hello"! read more

First of all , the food was very good. We had Duck Confit - crispy but not dry. Provolone o pastry filled with Fruits of the Forest (fresh berries) Also unique and tasty. Wine (Ribiero) was dark and enjoyable. Service was friendly and pleasant for non Spanish speaking. The place itself was difficult to find. After walking down a narrow hall to the back of place where there was a room about 10x14 packed in with tables and chairs. The walls were filled with wine shelves and lots of different wines. I wonder who and how they decide what wines to keep available. read more

Intimate and delicious! We ordered the ham croquettes, grilled asparagus with Romesco sauce, the vieira (gratined scallop) and the veal. All were served tapas style and in total these four dishes were a perfect amount for dinner for two. The presentation was beautiful. Highly recommended! read more

Fantastic. Spent a few days searching for good tapas in a heavily touristed area and was ecstatic to find this diamond in the rough. Great food, even better service and staff- all so sweet. Please be sure to try anything they recommend as well as the morcilla and piquillo stuffed anything. Sad to not have tried their extensive wine selection, but will be back. Snooped around at all the charming little tables to see what they ordered and cannot wait to try it all. Thanks Onofre! read more

Tried many tapas restaurants during our stay in Barcelona. This is by far my favorite! Small restaurant run and served by a sweet couple who serve fantastic food without the pretense. Artichoke salad with truffles, baby shrimp with garlic, cod carpaccio with caviar. Out of this world! Great selection of wines by the bottle. And completely reasonable prices. Four tapas, a bottle of hig quality wine and two desserts for less than €60! Only a block from the Palace of Catalan Music. Go there! read more
