This one was on the list and finally made it on a Monday afternoon around 4. Surprisingly they weren't busy given some of the comments about lines/wait times. This was the sweet spot between lunch and dinner. Walked down steps a level to the Bar area with high top seating throughout and a smaller outdoor seating area. Ordered a Verdejo and started with El Bikini. This Tapa sandwich didn't disappoint-think grilled cheese infused with Iberian ham and truffle -delicious and so much mozzarella cheese it stretched with every bite. Decided to try the Grilled Artichokes-this one was a revelation-something about the Iberian Ham and pine nuts combo took it over the top. Tried the Croquettes which happened to be chicken and it was tasty. Service was friendly and bit quirky/feisty and that's ok as part of 24's character. Another spot where I would have liked to try more items. We will be back. read more

We've been here a few times when we are in Barcelona, and it never disappoints. Also, they now take reservations, so I'd definitely book ahead as we used to have to wait a while. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor seating downstairs. Place is very cute and staff is always friendly and ready to help. Food is always good and fresh. We ordered the tuna belly omelette, jamon with pan con tomate,, bikinis, croquettes, fries. Everything was good and flavorful. We also ordered their ice cream sandwich for dessert (not pictured). Will probably be here again before we leave. read more

The owner of this spot has a Michelin star that being said expect a wait for a spot at the bar. Service was fast friendly and efficient kudos to them for maintaining high standards despite being super busy. The food here was the best bite I had during our entire 12 day trip. The flatbread was incredible and cuttlefish testicles surprisingly delicious. This should be a must go on your trip list. read more

Incredible ambiance, felt like 'the real deal' sitting at a downstairs counter eating tapas. Everything I had was great, the humble pan con tomato was a star, and there was an Eggplant dish that was just amazing. Well worth taking the few steps off of la rambla to give this a shot. read more

Love this place! Came twice on our trip to Barcelona. Are outside once (5 stars) and at a counter the second time do to smokers outside (4 stars inside). I believe there is another indoor sitting area, but I did not look at it. Came here with my wife and kids, ages 18 and 13 for dinner. We had a jug of Sangria and it was yummy. For tapas we had the avocado salad (delish), Iberian ham platter (yum), meatballs (two of them--double yum), artichoke dish (yum), eggplant (just ok--tasted charred), bikini sandwich (multiple and double yum), calamari (good taste but thick), and tomato bread.The best bite on the table was a tie between the meatballs, bikini and avocado. I would give it to the meatballs. Service was fantastic and the energy was good. Would definitely come here again. Go. Here. Now read more

If your in Barcelona & want TAPAS GO HERE!!! GREAT lil spot with cool atmosphere not to mention GR8 foodIt's a small place so we went early, they open at 7pm we arrived just a bit after sat at the counter luckily the menu had English on all the food so that was a HUGH help for sure! Our server was Pablo from Germany, LOL!!! not really he is from Argentina. (Ask for him, & tell him the people from Las Vegas told you to Extremely helpful & patient (always a good thing for tourists) with recommendations~ E started with grilled french bread and instead of rubbing it with garlic, they used fresh tomato's, might sound odd but was quite good Next we had Iberico Ham a full dang plate of it, sliced so thin just ideal to grab & devour either alone or on the grilled tomato bread. Along came he "Bikini Sandwiches" called this as they resemble the bottom of a bikini, a triangle of course it could be the top of the bikini, but this is Spain and topless might be a popular thing these are grilled smaller sandwiches with Iberico Ham (never can get enuf of this) w/ mozzarella cheese all melty deliciousness and truffle. Now I am NOT a big fan of truffle however these are wonderful treats so don't be put off due to the truffle thang! our next selection was the avocado salad, simple presentation of sliced avo about 15 or so topped with pesto, pine nuts and a it of cheese which I think was feta ‍ , also my husband ordered tomato tartare!! who ever heard of this?!!? It looked like meat tartare like a a shape of a raw hamburger pattie with aioli and capers along the edge, he enjoyed the entire thing by himself~ lastly we shared their cheesecake, served with mixed berry topping? kinda like jam and it added a nice element to an already delisssh cheesecake read more

Came here after a busy day of exploring the city with my friends, and we ordered a ton of different dishes. My favorite was probably the steak was deliciously seasoned and came with the most interesting puréed potatoes. The Russian salad was also a highlight for me. The truffle sandwich, which is one of their highlights on their menu was just OK in my opinion, you can skip it for the price tbh. Overall, it was a solid option that had sitting on a busy night and we enjoyed our meal! read more

Of all the Tapas joints in Barcelona, I had to walk into this one. I've had the fortune of visiting Barcelona many times for work and on one trip years ago I found Tapas 24 where it has remained on my 'must drop by' list every time I visit. It's on the pricier side of things but you can drop by if you're not too hungry and make out ok. Now they have the greatest hits as far as tapas go...get those and get some other stuff you normally don't see. A few of to note: the lentil stew was full of flavor, the avocado salad (really just a sliced avocado dressed in pesto) was stellar, and the chocolate mousse with a wafer, olive oil, and sea salt is just mind blowing. It's proudly Catalonian so don't ask for a Spanish red as they only carry wines local to the region. For me, it's remains on the go to list for Barcelona. read more

From my son- best food on this trip! Everything we ordered was delicious- from the eggplant, sirloin, croquetas, bikini sandwich. Enjoyed it with a sangria, great spot for tapas in Barcelona read more

Great food and sangria! Tapas were served fresh and hot. We were in a large group (10 people) and the service was very good

Everything about Tapas 24 was amazing! Service was great, food magnificent and the environment very welcoming and cozy! Highly recommend

Loved the tapas here and the wine. I've visited this place every time I've been to Barcelona and it's never failed me. The service is very good, the customers in their early thirties and seem local. Really love it! read more

Fabulous place! Great food and superb service. Julie from the Philippines via Italy was especially off the charts! She greeted us on both visits with a smile and a hand shake!

Some tapas were great, others were average or below average. Ambience was nice. We sat outside on a warm summer night. It was a Sunday, so it was quiet and lovely. Service was mixed; didn't have our reservation, one gentleman was very dismissive, our server was a bit rude at first, but ultimately very helpful. read more

So, we went to Tapas 24 a few years ago for a quick bite and absolutely LOVED it! Some of the best octopus preparations we'd ever tried. Perfectly-cooked bravas. Nice staff. Affordable. You name it, we really couldn't find a complaint. Fast-forward to late 2018 and we decided to pop in for some more tapas during a more recent trip, and it's incredible what a couple of years can do. Maybe it was a bad night? Maybe the service suffered because we were the only people sitting outside? Who knows. All we know is that our attempt at recreating that amazing experience from a few visits ago was a complete failure. The octopus, which had been so perfectly cooked, was just awful in texture and preparation. The bravas suffered from a similar fate. Poorly-cooked, but the prep at least remained the same. We also noticed that the prices seemed to be higher than we remembered. Perhaps the perceived cost hit us more because of such disappointing food, but the higher cost and the less-quality food execution just had us regretting going back. As people who travel to Barcelona a minimum of once every year, I can tell you that there are far better places to go, especially if you're looking for average food in a touristy atmosphere. read more

The last time I visited Barcelona was in September of 2008, before the financial crisis that gripped the country for a good part of the last decade happened. Back then, El Bulli was at its peak with impossible reservations, reinterpreted classics and molecular gastronomy that did not try to recreate your childhood, but drew experiences from that innocent time. Chef Adria was also churning out disciples daily who carried forward his spirit by opening their own innovative eateries around the world. "Vicki Cristina Barcelona" had just premiered, and it was rumored that Woody Allen himself would jam with the band at a swanky 5-star hotel in upper Gracia between shoots. In short, it was a town hopping with wealth, creativity and global interest. That was the right ecosystem to sustain Carles Abellan's Comerc24. I remember this being the first time I experienced (and paid for) a "deconstructed" prosciutto e melone appetizer consisting simply of a honeydew chupito with crunchy ham chips. I remember having the sensation of being so fascinated by the creative presentation, that I didn't mind that it was neither a. satisfying nor b. an improvement on the real thing. All I could think of was, "what else can these guys do?" and, "how come I never came up with anything like that?" Fast forward to this January, and all I wanted was seeing how Barcelona had reinvented itself after the financial downturn. I found this in Tapas24 -- Carles Abellan's more casual restaurant since the now defunct Comerc24. The set up is underwhelming and feels like you will be in for a run-of-the-mill experience found in any of the dozens of tapas bars lining Eixample. If it hadn't been suggested by a foodie friend who's a local, I would have walked right past not even knowing this was Chef Abellan's newer incarnation. Once you pull up a stool at the counter, you're in for a treat. I'm glad I went with a group of friends who were more than happy to try the top hits on the menu as recommended by our server. It was like a Catalonian omakase. We had a calamari sandwich inspired by the popular fare you find near the beach that was out of this world -- it had kicked-up umami from a kimchi salt they developed at the restaurant. Their burger with foie gras looked more like a slider by American standards, but it was packed with flavor, juicy and the right amount of doneness. I loved the pairing of romesco with griddled, in-season artichokes. It's difficult to make patatas bravas sexy, especially within Spain, but the tricked-up sauce that topped them was plain delicious. Their pa amb tomaquet flatbread was positively addictive and showcased the best of the region: fresh tomatoes, herbs, tangy olive oil and gorgeous, lip-smacking sea salt. Their drinks were prepared with a lot of care and with copious pours of gin & tonics, cavas and sangrías, I'm happy to report anything that happened after this restaurant visit is a gleeful blur. I think our server was a young woman named Dani, and her enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism made all the difference. She had been working at the restaurant for more than five years, and I wouldn't be surprised if she were running the joint soon. Even if it's dismissed as a tourist spot or there's a long wait time, do yourself a favor if you're in Barcelona, and make it a point to try this place. You won't regret experiencing how a city can show its resilience, relevance and virtuosity through its food. read more

3.5 s! Busy place so definitely plan to wait a little if you are stopping by! We got seated in 20-30 minutes. Because the restaurant is so small, you may have to sit at the bar or share a table (we were lucky enough to get our own!) Service was pretty fast but it will take you a while to get the attention of a server to get the menu. They do have an English menu so if you don't want to guess, don't bother trying to read the utensils wrapper. My favorite tapas dish of the night was definitely the fried green chilli. It was a little over seasoned but it's such an unique dish that tasted absolutely amazing and the tortilla was a close second. Everything else, the fries (bravas) and the potato ball (bomba, which is way better at Porto's if you are from the states) were just average. Personally, I would skip the sausage pasta (fideos). While the pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection, it was, again, over seasoned to the point where it was difficult to eat. We had to wash the pasta down with water because it was just too salty. Overall, great experience and the interior is very "hip". In terms of food, it was average. read more

Wow ! Ate lunch here and it was fantastic. They have outside tables but for more excitement go inside. The place was packed and we can see why.

My first Tapas experience in Barcelona and I am not sure how authentic it was but the food I ate was yummy. I went to this place because it was listed as one of top 25 tapas places in Barcelona and it had one Michelin stars in 2019. I ordered Zucchini flowers filled with cod and chicken croquette and before me my kids gobbled those up. We also ordered half chicken , unfortunately it came uncooked with oozing blood and that was an appetite killer for my kids but gladly they had enough before that with bread and other stuff that we did not mind skipping the chicken. They gave us new piece fully cooked to go. We also had potatoes omelette and zucchini omelette which was at room temp tapas style and I am not a big fan of food that is not hot so I skipped them ... fries came with hot sauce so if u order one for your kiddos ask to skip the sauce because it was a hot sauce. I am happy with what I ate and it was an experience for me ... I would try other places and will compare to this one to see if it is really worth a find ...small family style and not too formal so it was a fit for me read more

I'm so confused by all of the good reviews of this place! Visited with my family on a Sunday evening and were seated at the bar. The menu looked pretty exciting and we were able to see into the kitchen so off to a good start! However, those really were the only positives about the meal We ordered the patatas bravas, lentils with meat, fried squid, and Barcelona rice. Welll...... the patatas bravas were French fries with sauce (I'm as big of a French fry fan as the next person but these could have been frozen). The lentils were pretty good but the size was itty bitty. We attempted to order the fried calamari but were instead given the fried squid sandwich. No big deal about the communication issue but a tiny hot dog bun with maybe 6 squid pieces on it for 9 euros?! You've got to be joking! Sadly I didn't even get a picture because I was in shock. The rice dish of the day was artichoke and squid. The artichokes were cooked well (but we were given 1 artichoke cut into 4 pieces) but the squid was very gritty. Overall the rice had very little flavor, especially not for 22 euros. Overall I was extremely disappointed by this meal. I don't know if we ordered the wrong things or if we honestly ate at the wrong restaurant. This place was bustling with English speaking people and many more were standing around the restaurant waiting for seats. It took everything out of me not to tell them to leave and find something better for dinner. Big disappointment Food - 2 stars Price - 2 stars Service - 3 stars Atmosphere - 3 stars read more

On our last day in Barcelona, we had about 5 meals and one of them was at Tapas24. This is a semi-upscale tapas bar, but the terrace still gives it its casual side. We wanted some light bites, so the four of us shared a pitcher of sangria and 3 tapas: McFoie Burger, Bikini, & cap i tripa All three tapas were really good as was the sangria. The prices are on the higher end, especially for the size of the dishes. read more

Probably our favorite meal during our too-short visit to Barcelona. We came on a quiet, rainy Sunday night in November and had no problem getting a primo spot right at the bar. It was relatively empty, which our server/bartender informed us is RARE - and I can see why. It was our only real chance to do the Tapas experience, so we went for anything that looked good, including: - Patatas bravas - Bombes de la Barceloneta - Croquettes w/ ham - Croquettes w/ chicken - Tortilla española - Bikini Carles Abellan - Coca de pa amb tomaquet - Canatabric anchovies Everything was delicious, but our favorite was the anchovies! Something so simple and so powerfully flavorful. The service was great, and it was fun to chat with the folks behind the counter. read more

Small and busy basement level tapas bar. We definitely liked the quality of the food more than the fancier Cerveceria Catalunya. More innovative and chef-inspired rather than traditional tapas. Highlights included the mixed olives and amazing, thyme-scented Arroz Valenciana. Staff worked hard to keep us comfortable by offering us drinks while we waited in line. Nice touch. Definitely a global destination. Met folks from France in line and sat with a nice couple from Sweden. NOTE: If you're not comfortable sitting with strangers in communal seating, this may not be the place for you. Also, try to avoid peak times by getting there before 9:00 or after 10:00. read more

I was originally going to give it 3 stars but with the rude waitress who bothered us time and time again, it lost a star. We came here because my husband's friend who lives in Barcelona, recommended this place. It's a chain so there's more than one, but this was the closest to our hotel. We got there around 9pm, when dinner really starts to be busy with two kids, no less. Got down the stairs to stand in line, we were blocking the stairway, so we stood to the corner, out of the line. My daughter got tired of standing so she leaned on the side of the stairs and the lady with red glasses yelled "she's blocking the stairs!" when my daughter's little hands were far from the stairs, it was on the edge, under the railing, where the waitress can't walk anyway. I told my daughter to move her hand. Second time, she yelled again "she's blocking the stairs!" and so I moved my daughter from that area altogether. Dirty looks and yelling at a toddler isn't going to get her to stop, you crazy lady! Then more people came in and stood in line, so my husband went to stand in line so the newer people wouldn't be served before us since at this point, we've been waiting for 45 minutes. The waiter yells at my husband "we know where you are in line, you don't need to stand in line" umm, ok? He came from no where and it didn't look like any of the waiters were paying attention as to who's next to be seated. Again, rude! Finally we got seated, I was already angry and I figured the next rude waiter that bugs me, I'm going to yell back at them. Our waiter helped my daughter up on the chair and was rather nice. Though we shared a table with another couple, we were in the corner. They don't have much selections for wine, it's either red or white and you have no idea what you're drinking. The selections of tapas sounded good and based on recommendations on yelp.com, we went with the recommendations. We were pretty full after a few tapas and decided to leave. Food was ok, it was pricey for what you get. The place is very pretentious and overrated. I know that servers in Barcelona don't work for tips, but it doesn't mean you have to be jerks to your guests. Your food isn't even worth that kind of attitude! read more
