    The servers were super nice. Some of the few that we encountered that were friendly. Most places did not allow us to split bills but we were able to. These are small plates, but enough to fill us up. Really tasty dishes. Just take a look at the pics and try for yourself if you are in the area. I would definitely go back. The snails were really tasty. Don't knock it till you try it. The chorizo i am not too crazy about because the cuts were a little thick. The tomato bread is good, but they have this in almost every restaurant. Razor clams are one of my faves. Really delicious. All in all, everything was delicious!!!

    Very impressed and I highly recommend! I am a foodie and a mad cook most days. I enjoy doing research on legitimate, authentic and worthwhile foods/dining experiences and rarely write reviews but this place is LEGIT. I am probably harder to please when it comes to eating out. So there are my credentials if you decide to take time to read. The seafood is what this place specializes in from what I could tell (which is not to say other items are poor, it's just that we had seafood both times)- so that's what makes this establishment worth your time and money. Manuel is a server of 20 yrs. He saw us trying to stumble around and make decisions with the menu and quickly suggested he just serve us what he thought we would enjoy. Spot on. Dishes served: tomato bread, scallops, small fried anchovies, jamon, chorizo with boiled ham, potatoes and greens, medallions of tender savory perfectly cooked beef with peppers, sauteed shrimp, salad mixta (no greens but rather tomatoes, tuna, olives and onions in a tangy vinegar olive oil dressing), octopus with potatoes, fresh oysters, small baby fried squid, razor clams and a beef tripe garbanzo dish which I don't know what to call in English. We were a group of 6 and we ate there on our first night and on our last night- both times we inhaled basically everything. What makes this a standout place is the friendly, family style customer service as well as the truly fresh seafood- the flavors, subtle textures you can only get with the freshest seafood and hint of the sea in every bite and minimal seasonings- really evoke feelings of euphoria and joy when eating these dishes!! The octopus had the texture of the most tender chicken breast- not flavor, but texture. It was that tender- and I used to think a slightly rubbery chewy charred piece of octopus in California was adequate. The food, service is rustic in a warm fun-loving way. They brought out two jugs of wine at our last dinner- it's not olive oil and balsamic in the pic w jugs. If you are staying in Barcelona and want an exemplary, comfortable, extremely delicious and authentic seafood experience, visit this place. Oh and in case you were curious- for a party of 6 and with all those dishes plus beer, wine- the bill was about 150-160 euros each time. I know that if we ordered that much seafood and drink in California, the bill would easily be at least $250-at least.

    To be perfectly honest, we only came here because Tickets rejected us and we were too late for Bodega 1900. Figured, it was a 4 star rating place so we would have dinner there. The server is extremely nice, he didn't speak much English but definitely worked with us and gave us an English menu. Decided to order the gambas (shrimp), octopus, and razor clams. The octopus was overcooked, which had a mushy texture. The shrimp was decent, but definitely didn't stand out compared to other local tapa bars. This was my first experience with razor clams and I do have to say it's not too bad. I've heard it's a Barcelona staple, so if you end up here, do order it. It's definitely a locals place with local palate, there are definitely better places around town.

    Small octopus tapas. Very fresh!

    Definitely felt we were hustled after eating here. My girlfriend and I came in and was greeted by our waiter. He was pretending that he did not know how to speak English so it made it pretty confusing ordering our first round of tapas. We essentially had to point at what we wanted which was no big deal. He came back and had a bottle of seltzer water for us when we didn't even ask for it. We tried to give it back but he couldn't understand us, so we were stuck with it. We didn't want to let that ruin our meal so we wanted to order some wine. He kept recommending the really expensive bottled wines when we only want their cheaper house red. This is when I noticed that his English has improved and that he understood a lot more than he led off. After some back and forth we were able to order half a liter of their house red but at that point I was pretty much done with this place. It also didn't help that we found a tiny worm crawling in one of the oysters. This is by far the worst place we ate at during our 3 days in Barcelona!

    Similar to some of the other reviews, they will try to cheat you if you don't speak Spanish! The food was decent but a couple of shady points: 1. When we order beer, they gave us the larger size without asking which we prefer. I'd only realize that there was a smaller size then the table of Spanish speakers beside us ordered beers. 2. When the check came, there were clearly a couple of dishes that they double charged us for. When we brought it up to the waiter he said he didn't know. The food was decent enough but definitely not worth the trouble.

    Extremely satisfied! Salpicón de pulpo was delicious and the Pulpo Gallego as well. I have a thing for soups and I tried el Caldo Gallego...delicioso. A must if you find yourself in Barcelona.

    Octopus with potato

    We were wary coming into the location due to the reviews about scamming foreigners. For the most part, we did not have this experience. I think the general vibe of this place is a lot more casual and laidback with a no-nonsense attitude. This is clearly not targeted to tourists as the interior and exterior of the restaurant is very lowkey. They do have a variety of menus in different languages to accomodate non-Spanish speakers. This was one of our last meals in Barcelona and for the most part, the food was OK. We got the calamari, which was probably the favorite - a large portion size, very crispy, and delicious. We ordered a plate of jamon, which was quite underwhelming. It seemed as though it was not a fresh portion because the slices were roughly cut, thicker, and dryer than what we were accustomed to at other locations. The galician beef and the octopus with potatos were both OK. The only challenge we had was when it came to check out. We attempted to pay with the remainder of our euros and put the rest on the credit card. The clerk with the card scanner was having a little difficulty calculating the remaining amount owed on card, but we didn't necessarily attribute the miscalculation to "taking advantage" of foreigners. In summary, reasonable food with average service and reasonable prices, but nothing to phone home about.

    This place has great food at reasonable prices. We also had a great time chatting with Rene. He was very nice and he speaks different languages (spanish and english). I would try this place if you are in Barcelona. Get the pulpo, the peppers, gambas and their razor clams. Yum!!

    If you like exotic seafood this is the place to be! Tried percebes for the first time,along with small snails and large snails. Enjoyed every minute of it. We also got the tripe which was very mild in flavor and extra fatty. So good! The octopus and potatoes were also yummy but everything else stole the show. Oysters were sea salty briney goodness. Must try!

    Michelle M.

    Their fried squid was actually octopus, soaking so much in oil that it should be below any restaurant standard. Their grilled shrimps was quite okay. The rest was average. Not a big culinary experience but we did get full from the tapas.

    Erica T.

    Didn't get into Bodega1900 next door and we came here instead. Price was cheap enough. But the food taste sometimes too bland or too salty. I liked the scrambled eggs and potatoes though, simple enough. Bread was so dried and cold and hard that shouldn't be served to the table. Having said that, it's still worthwhile for the price. Perfect place for seafood on budget.

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.

    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.

I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special.

I came here for lunch, and thankfully I didn't have to wait too long before I got seated inside.

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!
