Bloody Mary
Ryan F.

Out of Country Review - Spain Had lunch at Tapa Tapa on Sunday afternoon. Was not crazy about the meal, but hard to deny it as a good location to enjoy a meal by the beach. Quality: The Pulled Pork Empanadas were excellent, the rest of the food we tried was just okay. It was all small things, but enough to prevent interest in diving deeper into the menu. The Tuna Tartare was too salty, the Angry Eggs lacked a cohesive flavor, and the Truffle Grilled Cheese was a lot. The drinks were a bit odd too, the Bloody Mary came in a martini glass. Quantity: All sharable small plates. Value: Fair prices. Ambiance: Tapa Tapa has a few locations, and we visited the one right off the beach in Barcelona. They have a substantial outdoor patio right next to the boardwalk. Views of the ocean and plenty of sun made it an ideal location to sit and relax. The inside seemed pretty substantial as well, but only the outdoor tables were in demand. Crowd: Filled up quickly on Sunday afternoon. Service: Huge props to a waiter who chased down a pickpocket who targeted a different customer.

TapaTapa is a beach cafe fronting the Mediterranean sea. I've read the other reviews on TapaTapa, and many were not complimentary. That said, here is my review of TapaTapa when we ordered food. We sat outside with the view of beach walkers and the Mediterranean Sea. We ordered grilled asparagus, mussels, fried calamari and mango sorbet. Grilled asparagus - 5/5 The grilled asparagus was tasty and grilled just right. I love the taste of actual charcoal or wood on my food when grilling meats or veggies. Mussels - 5/5 The mussels were cooked just right. Not too under done where the meat is semi-raw, or over cooked where the meat is hard. The mussels were tasty. Fried calamari - 5/5 I enjoyed TapaTapa's fried calamari. The batter was light and the calamari was tender and not fishy. Mango sorbet - 5/5 The mango Sorbet tasted like mango, not a blend of various fruits and mango. It was sweetened just right, not tart. Very refreshing after our nice meal. When strolling along Barcelona beach and feeling the hunger urge, I highly recommend giving this establishment a try. I hope they keep the cooks that prepared our meal.

BEST SPOT ON THE BEACH! Come here for a friendly atmosphere, delicious food and the best sangria on the beach. We came here on our second day of our honeymoon and received such excellent service and good food (we ordered the chicken teriyaki skewers, the patatas bravas, the toasted truffle mozzarella and ham sandwiches, the ham croquettes and potato bombs). We loved it so much we saved it for our last day to revisit. The view of the ocean is nice, and a fresh breeze comes through that kept us cool even though it was so hot! Roberto is amazing, he is thoughtful and attentive and we are so glad to have met him. If you are looking for a lovely, restful spot to lunch on your vacation in Barcelona, grab a liter of Sangria here with some tapas and you will have a good time. (Make sure to get the sorbets at the end to refresh yourself with something cool, they have zing and are so tasty it's like iced fruit)

Sangria by the beach!

We were actually looking for another restaurant when we decided to stop and eat Tapas here. The location was great overlooking the water and it was nice and sunny outside so we have this place a try. I ordered a sangria and the asparagus and potatoes tapas. My husband ordered the calamari and the olives. The food was tasty and the drinks were great. We were a little shocked at the bill. For just a few tapas and 3 drinks it was over 50 euros. Ordering expensive tapas can add up. We left satisfied but not full. Overall, the ambiance was great, food was good but the price was high.

This lady was very rude and threatened to call the police because I told her the food made me nauseous and I won't pay for what I didn't eat

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Place was mediocre. Lady at the bar was rude and threaten to call the police if I didn't pay for what I didn't eat. I ordered a Kale salad and it was basically lentils and quinoa. I also ordered calamari which had not flavor and cheese coquettes which made me nauseous after eating one .

Get the octopus!! It's so good! Really nice waitress who helped me with my Spanish. The jamon is also good and can't wait to come back for a full meal. The miniburger has great flavor but very mini lol.

While on a visit to Barcelona found this tucked away gem from another Yelp reviewer. Decided to…read moregive it a shot. Most places here in Barcelona prefer reservations but as we walked around town we couldn't pick a time. We settled upon an early arrival and lucky for us they had a table inside. Not very many patrons at 6:30 PM so we were immediately seated, table for two. Of course a Sangria for me and a beer for my travel buddy! Cheers. The beer had a lemon citrusy flavor and my Sangria was flavorful, both were very good. We ordered Hummus and Calamari, excellent choices, plenty to share and both were delicious. Highly recommend giving this restaurant a try. Remember service is slower than in the U.S. and our waitperson was the only one handling both inside and outside (only 3 or 4 tables outside).

My first day in Barcelona and I googled great place to eat and stumbled on this absolute gem! Service was great! They speak English BTW The staff were friendly and very helpful! The food was some of the most amazing, fresh, delicious bites I've had. I ordered from the Tapas menu so I could get a taste of more flavors. The portions were much bigger than I imagined tapas being. These were my first! They created a great desire for more! It was hard deciding what to try. They had duck risotto on the daily special menu and I wanted it, but it was a full meal and I would only get to taste that. I will definitely be going back during my two week stay here in Barcelona! Hopefully I will get to try the duck risotto! Highly recommend!!

Ziryab fell onto my radar as a popular tapas spot in Barcelona. I didn't make that many dining…read moreplans in advance before visiting the city, I just knew I wanted tapas. Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.

First of all, the place is kind of hidden. The ambiance is fantastic. Exposed brick, old tavern…read morestyle. We walked in, without reservation, on a Saturday night. They were gracious and accommodated us. Our server was deaf/mute but was attentive and as long as we pointed to what we wanted in the menu - it was fine.

Cute place, nicely decorated- has great seating places to hang out. Staff welcoming and efficient. Food was great- needed a healthy meal- and we got it. We got the fattoush salad: was refreshing Mixed grill- had a kebab, grilled chicken, grilled beef (or lamb maybe- whatever it was, was good), and a lamb chop. Served on the classic thin bread with a side of grilled potato, onion, pepper! It was everything I needed it to be- all the meat was tender, flavorful and moist. Was also the perfect amount for 2- and we finished everything!

Both my son and I are very picky about Lebanese food having been spoiled by the excellent Lebanese in our home town Los Angeles, so we ordered with trepidation. The very first must-try dish immediately set our minds at ease: please, do yourselves a favor and order their Fatoush salad. It's done so right, juicy tangy, bursting with flavors and the pita in the salad is made into a curly flower and gives a delicious crunch. We liked the dish of garbanzo and yogurt a bit less, as it was quite heavy and lacked flavor. My son was very pleased with shish tavouk with chicken, and I loved my halloumi dish. The service was slow (as everywhere in Barcelona) but it was efficient, and our Egyptian waiter had good recommendations for everything. He was funny and personable.
