This is the perfect spot for breakfast, skillets are amazing, and as everyone else has noted, you have to try the bikini - I didn't get to try a bikini anywhere else but I am confident this one is as good as it gets! The service is friendly, the food insanely fresh and delicious. I had a fish special, with cod, fresh peas and black truffles, mind blowing. read more

Asian female server has a terrible attitude, system for seating is disorganized, and food is overpriced. When I asked if the line I was asked to wait in was also for seating outside, she literally yelled at me to just wait in line. There is no sign-in, there is no system, and people who had been waiting longer were out-bullied for tables by people who took more initiative. Go and enjoy El Nacional instead. Eff this place. It almost ruined a perfect honeymoon had we not got up and left. read more

The service and food was no where near what I was used to while on vacation in spain.

We were here during our first visit to Barcelona, and dreamed of their "bikini" sandwich ever since. We made a return on our recent trip, and weren't disappointed. It was all we remembered (which is saying something, as the mind tends to exaggerate memories). I also loved the lamb kebab, the meatballs...really, everything I had! read more

!Dios mio! Fois Gras burger w/ Fois Gras mousse. Fresh everything. Great food. Greater value. What a vibrant scene. Very memorable. One of my top 10, perhaps top five restaurant experiences of all time. Barcelona rocks and this place is part of it. Puts American restaurants in the class of mediocre. One tour guide confided he never tells tourists about this place because it belongs to the locals. read more

Tapas 24 - Hope it is worth the short wait. Waiter brought me a cervesa. What a line. Looks happening. Thanks Zagat. - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

If you don't mind waiting 30 minutes on the sidewalk then you are in for a great culinary experience. The food is outstanding but the waiters are so busy that you feel pressured to order quickly. The crowd definitely dents the meal, you are surrounded with people and we even had to share a table. Not really my thing... The under the ground situation is a little claustrophobic too... Other than that a must read more

Wish I could give 4.5 stars...although I doubt the authenticity of its tapas (based on the overwhelming amount of English speakers in the establishment) the tapas have been the best so far. And all I've been doing the whole week is eating...best patatas, good lamb, tasty spice bomb, and cheap beer. Cute and helpful wait staff. Edit: Returned for breakfast. Verrrry slow meal because the waitors all seem to be active in the kitchen as they prepared for the day, but worth it. The Spanish omlette and fois gras burger were to die for. Also, I am rethinking my suggestion that its not authentic. read more

Our first time out to Barcelona, we were trying to look for an authentic Catalonian tapas Bar! Luckily, we found it here at Tapas 24! All the items on the menu looked great! A must try is the Ceviche! I'm from Los Angeles and always hit up El 7 Mares and seafood restaurants, but this ceviche here puts all to shame! Also, the vibe is good-times, prices are reasonable, busy, but quite small inside! Be prepared to wait a bit especially on the weekends. It is definitely worth the wait! Enjoy! Quick tip: we found this spot on Lonely Planet Travel Book, Barcelona! So far all their recommendations to restaurants have been spot on! read more

Everything is good except for the pricing. I thought it was a little overpriced. However the food was amazing. Moic frois burger, bikini sandwich, Bravas and xocalate with sea salt and olive oil. read more

We stepped in this restaurant for a mid-day break around 4pm. The place was still full and we had to wait for roughly 10 minutes. I really liked the chicken croquettes here. Other than that everything that I ordered tasted good, nothing special. We sat on the patio and our service was a little slow in my opinion. Overall a good place for a short break. read more

Food was outstanding. Every dish came out correctly and we liked! The mushroom, the lamb, the oyster and the desert was well-liked by my picky wife. I think the reason this place has a lower rating is because it's pricey relative to its decoration. But we care most about the food! My wife says it's Michelin quality. So that means we will go back. read more

excelent ! the best place in town !!! usually is a waiting ..but well worth it " amazing food great ambience definitely will be back every day and time in town read more

The best tapas we ever had, period. The lamb skewer melted in our mouths and the chicken wings in spicy sauce rook chicken to new heights. We sat at the very busy bar, fun to see the extremely busy and efficient staff buzzing around and yet find the time to be nice to all customers. We thought it was worth the 40 minute wait (at 9 PM) and the prices are moderate. But it is not the place for calm, romantic dinners and it is easy to over-eat... read more

Everything was really delicious! We ordered the foie burger, patatas bravas, fried artichokes and caprese salad. I had no complaints, the food and service were excellent and overall very good! If you go dont forget to order a pitcher of white sangria! Yummm read more

Had the McFoie burger which was outstanding. Also croquetas de pollastra, and steak iberico with chimichurri were excellent. Everything was unique, perfect size for sharing and went nicely with a cold vermouth. read more

Delicious food!! Must try when in Barcelona! Chicken wings were phenomenal, best wings I've had without any bones. We also had a lamb skewer and that was very good too!! read more

We tried to come here twice but had to walk out both times. The first time, the restaurant was a bit busy but some tables were open. We waited on the stairs for about 15 minutes for a table and couldn't get any acknowledgement from the staff. No hello, no "please wait," not even a look in our direction. No one who was seated had any food in front of them. It seemed like the restaurant was short staffed so we turned around and left. We tried coming back a few days later hoping for a better situation - got there around 12:00 and it was not busy at all. Again though, barely any acknowledgement from the staff. We again stood on the stairs until a manager motioned to one of the waitresses to seat us. Finally we got seated, and sat and waited about 15 minutes but no one came to take our order. Looked around and realized again no one was eating or had food in front of them. So we got up and walked out. In short, the service here based on my two experiences seems slow and quite rude. As good as the food might be here, looks like I'll never know. With so many other wonderful restaurant options here, it's not worth enduring rudeness from waitstaff. We went to El Nacional down the street instead which I'd highly recommend. read more

This was my to go place in BCN- but I have to admit, the quality of food is not the best anymore... I loved your food in the past but now its just so so. Kind of sad. And the service? I wouldnt call it service. Work on that to get back on track!! read more

The place is running for tourists only very expensive for tapes not worth it at all Didn't hear local language at all read more

Food was okay, but extremely small portion. Bikini 24 was the only thing that we liked. Service was terrible. Staff kept ignoring our order. I will never visit here again. read more

We came here for dinner and all of the tapas we ate were divine. We had the pulpo, gambas, a couple of different croquettes, cheese plate, bombas, tomato bread (some of the tastiest we'd had during our 5 day trip), 2 different sandwiches recommended by our table neighbors-melt in your mouth good ;-) This restaurant is a perfect choice for tapas lovers. read more

Probably the most delicious Tapas in the whole city :) A friend that lives in Barcelona recommended this Tapas Bar, so my mom and I went for dinner there. We were really lucky, because we got a table immediately. But there is often a really long line outside, but it's worth it ! read more

This was the best meal my wife and I enjoyed in Barcelona. Everything we had was spot on and the ambiance was nice as well. There was probably a 20 minute wait and it was not the least expensive place we ate at but I would definitely eat here again. I highly recommend the Bikini Sandwich which has a light Bree, Spanish ham and Truffles on light bread. The ceviche was unique and complex set up in individual perfect bites. The portions where small we split 6 items for 2 people and a desert and left happy. read more

One of the best places we ate in Barcelona. The price was reasonable after trying a lot of other $$ restaurants. My favorite was the chili prawn & crispy pork. It was great to watch them cook in front of you. We would come back again. read more

This place was so delicious that I went twice. Go during the day as the wait can be long (~30min.) around dinner time. I recommend the Bikini Comerç sandwich, the Bomba and the Xipirons. Honestly though you can't go wrong with any of the daily special menu items. If you sit inside at the bar you have a pretty cool view of the kitchen. Waiters are really friendly and were really patient when I struggled with menu items in Catalan. read more

Tapas 24 was one of our first stops in Barcelona, and I found it to have some of the most delicious tapas in the city. We ordered Jamón Iberico, pan con tomate, croquetas, and of course, patatas bravas which we washed off with some great cava. We also ordered the Bikini sandwich with iberico ham, truffle, and burrata cheese which was simply to die for! read more

Delicious - and small! - portions of creative tapas. I had the king crab salad, delicious although it doesn't even resemble 'a' salad. Also tried one chicken croquette and one ham croquette. The chicken was stupendous as felt like the well seasoned chicken had been cooked at the moment. Also tried the Mc Foie, their minuscule hamburger with a side dollop of fois gras. All delicious and with an attentive service. read more

The Bikini sandwich is a must-have. So good. The sangria was great. The chicken "wings" are not wings at all, and the sauce isn't hot either, but they were acceptable bites of thigh meat. Great people watching outside. read more

I love the decor of this place, I've always been a fan of open kitchens and uses the bar space really nicely. The menu is on a chalk board right at the bar and there's also a daily specials menu. I sat excitedly as the kitchen staff delicately prepares the food like a piece of art work, fastidiously making sure the details perfect. The food was ok but really salty and overpriced. read more

Wow, what a tourist trap! I kept seeing this place pop up in blogs so I thought it was worth a try. Also, they were super busy when we went so I took that as a good sign. Boy was I wrong. The portions were insanely small, all the dishes we ordered were drenched in oil or sauce, and the prices were ridiculous. I know tapas are small, but we ordered the hamburger with foie gras and the whole thing was the size of 2 oreos. There are SO MANY tapas places in Barcelona that there is absolutely no need that all tourists must come here. I've had much better tapas in LA, SF and NYC. read more

Tapas 24 doesn't need another 5 star review. We just happened to pick this hole in the wall while walking around Barcelona. We didn't know that there service and tapas were among the best in Barcelona! They seem to be a bit more expensive that other Tapas joints, but they are very good for what we found while visiting. read more

Wonderful and unusual tapas! I wanted to try everything on the menu, and our group nearly did. Everything was amazing, but my favorites were the oysters and the Bombes de Barceloneta. The peach gazpacho was pretty good too. read more

We tried twice to eat at Tapas 24. The first was right before the popular dinner time and were rewarded with being first in the queue. There was zero greeting or acknowledgement. We waited another 10 minutes and nothing changed. There were open tables so that wasn't the problem. We left hungry and frustrated. We just tried again for lunch service and arrived at 12:30, long before the normal lunch hour. It was pretty empty save for a few parties and got seated after not being greeted an staring around like an idiot for 5 minutes. We sat and waited again for a server. And waited. And waited. After 10 minutes of again, zero greeting or acknowledgement we looked around and noticed that no party table was eating. The kitchen looked incredibly slow with one or two staff preparing dishes. The lack of speed or urgency was disturbing and alarming and we realized dining here would take hours at this rate. We left without ever being greeted or acknowledged. The prices of the tapas run about 6-10 euro which is equivalent to, if not more, than full service taps restaurants that simply have superior service, interior, and atmosphere. This was not only our worst service experience in Barcelona, but in all of my travels, international and domestic. I wish this was an exaggeration but unfortunately not. With the abundance of quality tapas and service and full staff working, I highly encourage you to spend your money, time, and appetite elsewhere. If you choose not to heed this warning, experience the completely unbothered service of Tapas 24, and when you leave out of frustration, come back and mark this review useful. read more

Amazing tapas! We had the following: - bikini sandwich - so so decadent. It was thin pieces of bread with generous amount of mozzarella and jamon - patata brava - the garlic was a nice touch - ceviche (daily special) - slices of tuna, avocado and fennel with a fruity gingery dressing - estrellats (daily special) - fried eggs, bottifarra negra, and fried patatas. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the bottifarra negra was rich and flavourful. The patatas absorbed the richness of the meat and egg. - the sangria (€6 per glass) was refreshing and not too sweet nor dry - just perfect This place is located in the heart of passeig de gracias - across from the Zara home; easy to find. The service was mediocre; about a 10 min wait during lunch time. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Tapas 24 last week (our first trip to Barcelona) and we definitely enjoyed ourselves. Here's what we ordered: -Tomato bread: one of the best we had in Spain (and we and had A LOT of different ones) -Fried sardines: good, but we accidentally ordered the large portion and it was too much -Potatoes Bravas: good (my boyfriend really liked) -Bikini sandwich: definitely good, but not as amazing as I would have thought per the reviews on Yelp (it's basically a mini grilled ham + cheese, meh) We think overall, we should have ordered more diversely (less fried / greasy stuff) and we would have had a better experience overall. Would most likely go back if we had the chance! read more

Too trendy. There are so many wonderful tapas bars in Barcelona, why deal with the lines or the attitude? We got a table on a relatively quiet night and it was still too busy for the staff to keep up. You order by pointing at pictures on the walls. Seating mainly at high communal tables plus a couple of small tables and a small bar. Ham and tomato bread were good...but fideua was more like hamburger helper - they actually use macaroni in an effort to be hip. Sangria was probably the best thing we had. There are far worse places in Barcelona but if you're looking for classic tapas you can find better food and atmosphere. We couldn't help but to think of all the other places we could have gone. This is one is for the kids. read more
