    Some of the best tapas I've ever had in this place above The Fisherman's in Broughty Ferry. I can highly recommend.

    Had a birthday lunch here with the girls. It was fairly Middle of the road tapas, thankfully not…read moretoo expensive which is why it gets 3 not 2 stars. I ordered lentil pate and mushrooms and goats cheese and both came pre spread on bread. I would have thought that would have been highlighted when I placed the order especially given that we ordered tomato bread for the table. The creamy potatoes saved the lunch for me. Nice enough, not sure I would rush back, the birthday girl enjoyed it which was the point of the lunch out.

    The Catalana Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant to give it it's full name is conveniently located in…read moreDundee City Centre. There are both bus stops and a taxi rank situated close by so it is easy to get to. The dining area is divided into two levels - one on the ground floor and one upper one accessed by a flight of stairs. Decoration has a Spanish feel to it (not surprising really!!) with laminate flooring. The lighting I would describe as 'subdued' without being too dark. This creates a nice ambience. As you enter, you pass a well stocked bar and are greeted by a very friendly staff member. Tables and seating are very comfortable. The 'facilities' which are down a flight of stairs deserves special mention. They are some of the nicest I've been in and add to the overall impression of the place. They are very clean and the walls are decorated with lovely tiles. And so to the food... Portions are very generous and two or three individual dishes should satisfy even the biggest appetites. Approximately 40 different dishes are available comprising meat, fish, vegetables and bread all attractively served. Waiting time is just about right; not too long or too short. Unlike in Spain where a typical tapas meal can last several hours, all the dishes are served together and can be consumed fairly quickly if desired. Overall, I can thoroughly recommend the Catalana Tapas Bar and Restaurant in Dundee, especially at the modest prices charged...

    Where do I begin? What a fabulous hidden gem of a restaurant. If you want a great meal experience…read morethat's a bit out of the way this is the place for you. The food was phenomenal. There was not a single dish we did not enjoy here. Each and everything that came out was flavorful and delicious. The sangria and all of the drinks we ordered were fabulous. There was a summer special for the gin spritz's which are incredible. The staff were all very friendly and professional. Dan the owner of the restaurant also took time to chat with us and tell us a bit more about the restaurant too. On Friday nights they have live music which was really nice to experience. As well as the decorations throughout the restaurant were unique and fit the atmosphere perfectly. I'd highly recommend anyone and everyone to come here!

    I have been to a few Tapas restaurants and this by far was the worst. Most of the things that we…read morewanted to order on the menu they told us that they did not have... Therefore there was not much we could choose from Small plates are expected, but this was ridiculous! I ordered scallops and got one lonely little scallop in a huge shell for €8.75........ yep you read that right only 1 little scallop! Tapas plates are supposed to be sharable but I couldn't even share this with a mouse. The anchovy dish had so many bones in it that I could use them as toothpicks...... I was too scared to finish the tiny plate in case I choked on a bone They were out of the pork rinds, but offered us something instead... And bought us a packet of crisps!!!! Very disappointed in what you get for such high prices would not recommend and I definitely will not go back!

    Are you going to get the best tapas in the world for the dirt cheap price of McDonald's food? No…read more Are you going to have some delicious tapas and lovely service that makes the price worth it? Yes. Came by on our first night in Edinburgh with my boyfriend because of some decent yelp reviews and we weren't disappointed. The host/server (manager? owner?) took the time to explain ALL of the dishes to us, including all of the specials. [sidenote, being from CA, and hearing Catalonian Spanish with a Scottish accent was such a trip.] He presented and explained all of the dishes table side like you expect in a fine dining restaurant, and brought some olives and bread on the house. We had the four specials, papas bravatos (I think) were my boyfriend's favorite, and the Sancho and Calamari were menu staples that were lovely. Everything we had was cooked perfectly to us, and all of the meats so tender. We washed it all down with a liter of sangria, which had cinnamon as a new twist for us. Great service, great food, no regrets!!!

    Came here for a yelp girly lunch following Jenny's weekly newsletter on the best Spanish food in…read moreEdinburgh. My taste buds were a tingling. And tingled they were!! The tabla quijote platter of meat and cheese allowed us to taste every variety on offer. Some were nicer than others (I'm not a fan of blue cheese!) but it was a great sharing plate for anyone who loves cured meat and chorizo. I also ordered a tapas sized of small peppers with white asparagus and topped with an Andalusian sauce. Phallic looking as they were (haha!) I rather liked them. The dish was chilled, asparagus was soft (not crunchy how I normally like asparagus) but tasty nevertheless. The sauce was nice too and I'd order them again. For my main I ordered the Pork Cheeks stew which was recommended by jenny. I went for the medium side but boy it was big! watch out on the sizes if you're having starter tapas too! The stew was basically a big bowl of soup like stew. Not what I was expecting but extremely tasty. I've never had pork cheeks before but the meat was slow cooked and fell away from the fork. Yum! The only thing was the lack of "chunky homemade chips" as described in the menu. There were bits of potato in the stew but chips? Nope. Would I go back? Definitely. The food was authentic and tasty and its really near my work so v handy! It's small but cute with terracotta pots and plants dotted around inside. Quite quaint. If it wasn't for the garlic in the food it would be an ideal date venue! :)
