Delicious food and cozy ambience. The olives and patatas bravas deserve their own menu section. My mom commented that she's never had sardines this fresh before. The waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. read more

What a treat to have Spanish tortilla, amazing olives, & delicious jamón when you are freezing in the snow and rain in Amsterdam!

Maybe it was the people we met sitting next to us but this short dinner turned into hours of fun and conversation! We got some bread, meatballs, truita de patates, and some other things and they were good! Lacked a little flavor but still good. The people that worked there were all very nice to a bunch of tipsy Americans so I definitely recommend this place read more

Great food. Would say top amsterdam tapas places by far. Try the octopus. Well worth the trip.

Server from Argentina and the sangria was great ! He gets 5 stars ! The wings were ok, the ham croquettes were ok. And I know it's the patio (small) and I know it's Europe, but we could not even finish as everyone around us was smoking .. read more

So, after shopping around downtown one can get super famished. To tell you the truth, this place wasn't even on our radar to eat at when we were on the street. We were actually on the way to another restaurant a few doors down. But when my buddy saw they were serving razor clams, we were totally sold. We order a bottle of Torres red and proceeded to bark out items that we fancied. Octopus: I cook, and I've acquired the skill to properly cook an octopus and I tell ya. These guys know exactly what they're doing. Perfect taste, char and texture. Such a refreshing experience. Specially from a guy who now lives in Michigan and rarely gets to see ocean food. Anchovies: I adore the presentation. Mildly salted taste of the cured anchovies combined with red peppers with some charred finish is a YES. My mouth exalts with every bite. Plus I'm a big fan of anchovies. Razor Clams: Same as the octopus, timing and precision is key. Must be tender, moist and still contain the remnant flavors of the sea. I adore this restaurant for executing all the proper components of this dish. Look, all these dishes are in its most simplest form. No heavy sauce, no heavy spices. Just honest to goodness sea food glorified with just oil, salt and pepper. Just a little lemon, a glass of proper red and great conversation. This is the life I love to live. Thank you Catalas Tapas Bar for being amazing. We'll definitely meet again next time. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! read more

Passed by Tapas Bar Catala last night and noticed that all of the tables were full and they had a line out the door. Impressive enough that I decided to go here for dinner tonight and was greatly disappointed. Save your time and money and go elsewhere. Pros: The wait was short The water and wine was served quickly The ambiance is the experience Cons: Ham Croquettes were still cold in the middle. Not quite frozen but not too far away. Waitstaff seemed overwhelmed. Forgot to bring 1/3 of my order, dropped food in the lap of a young lady dining at the table next to me and lacked attention to simple details. Wasted evening on dinner in Amsterdam read more

Tapas Bar Catala - Ham Croquettes - Tapas Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Indifferent service. Waitress eats her dinner while serving you (while holding the dirty dishes of the tables nearby). The ground under the outdoor tables was filthy with scraps of trash and dropped food items. The food left a lot to be desired. Spanish Tortilla was ok. The sliced jamon and soprosetta was pretty good. Ham croquettes were below average. Sangria was overly bubbly from soda. Just felt progressively dirty and uncomfortable sitting there. Decided to pull the plug on our dinner after ordering only a few things. The staff made us lose our appetite. read more

A very nostalgic place... a 'lil disappointed for not serving a red or white sangria, ugh!!! This is a nice tapas bar. Good service, great location, clean and affordable. I was also able to utilized my crooked Spanish...apologies to my family, didn't mean to embarrassed you both. Papas con aioli is so freaking goooood!!! Be very cautious, it is hot. Let it cool down for 5 minutes when they bring it out to you. You're welcome! "People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy" - Rene Redzepi read more

Tl:DR - They take credit cards, speak English, service is fast, portions are big for tapas, not a lot of seating. My Fi and I were not starving, but wanted something to knosh on. I had found this tapas place on Yelp and bookmarked it. We wandered over, went inside to sit down at a table, but then decided to sit outside. We ordered a bottle of red wine that was fairly priced and food. It did not disappoint, but it started to get very claustrophobic once so many people started checking it out. PRICES - Personally, I thought the prices matched the portions, but I lived in NYC for a very long time. If you're coming from Spain, then yes, you will be paying much more than you normally would. But for great tapas outside of Spain, it's worth it. SERVICE - Our waitress was running around and it seemed that she was taking care of the tables outside AND some on the inside. She did a great job serving, bussing, and checking on everyone. We sat for quite a long time and not once did she make us feel rushed or that she wanted us to leave. GRILLED RAZOR CLAMS - SO good, perfectly cooked (not chewy or raw), and went amazingly well with lemon squeezes. Got some sand in one or two, but it didn't ruin anything for me. GRILLED SARDINES - This was my absolutely favorite tapas. There were 4 good sized sardines with herbs and rock salt spooned on top of each. The fish was so flavorful, fell off the bone(s), and the herbs and salt really enhanced the entire dish. CHORIZO + BREAD - This was too oily for my personal taste, but my Fi loved it. He soaked up the flavorful chorizo oil with the bread and created mini sandwiches with the thick meat slices. I did have a couple of bites and I will say that the chorizo had a bit of spice to it and the quality of the meat was high. BREAD + TOMATO + OLIVE OIL - If you want a simple, flavorful tapas, get this one! These 3 things combined hold their own in a sea of options on the menu. PATA NEGRA - Remember when I said that Fi ate 99% of the Chorizo? I ate 99% of the pata negra. I am obsessed with cured meats and this did not disappoint. The flavor came through much more than what you get in the States. Once we move to Amsterdam full time, this will be one of our go to places. read more

We always look for a good Tapas restaurant wherever we travel to. Tapas Bar Catalá did not disappoint. In fact we went back on our last night. Because of the food and wine, yes - but tbh we wanted to say goodbye to the staff read more

I went here with a coworker for dinner. It's a small restaurant that was pretty busy the whole time we were there. I got a beer that was fine, nothing crazy. It's tapas so we got a lot of different foods: mushrooms, shrimp, octopus, and a sobrada/bread combo. I would say the octopus was probably the best. read more

Found this place walking down the Spuistraat on a cold winter evening. Tapas Catala was deserted (it was early in the evening) but the staff was very welcoming. The restaurant is pretty small (cosy and 'gezellig') but has a good offering of tapas. I had the pan con tomate which was a HUGE portion of the tomato bread you see in Spain. I also enjoyed a healthy portion of the famed jamon iberico bellota, an unlawful treat in my home country for some reason. The wine was Spanish and reasonably priced if not exceptional. I had a bunch of other tapas from the case - gambas, some machego, etc. Nice. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite at Tapas Catala because it was very close to the flat where we were staying while in Amsterdam. The restaurant itself has some character and it's nice that they have a few small tables outside, but the food we had did not really wow us, especially for the price we paid. You have 2 options: pick out small tapas plates from the bar at 4.50€ each or order somewhat larger plates of freshly prepared dishes from the menu (most at a much higher price). The tapas plates at the bar looked like they had been sitting out for quite some time and did not look very appetizing, so we opted to order from the menu. We tried the chorizo with bread and the ham croquettes. Both were quite heavy and just not terribly flavorful. The service was fast but they don't accept credit cards so that is always a bit of an inconvenience. Unfortunately we just weren't impressed with Tapas Catala. read more

Any restaurant near touristy areas always have me a little nervous. But we were showing our friend around the Spui area and indulging our favorites fries and sweet treats when we realized that we really needed to have a real meal. This tapas restaurant delivered! I still don't really understand...but I think you can order tapas off the menu or from the variety at the bar. The menu is a little pricey for certain items, but the portion size makes up for it. The food was pretty tasty and we are happy to go back. The service was very good as the girl who was serving the inside was very attentive, although she did get an order wrong, she tried to fix it (but my husband preferred the mistake order anyway!). The man behind the counter was super nice as well. I can't speak to Spanish authenticity but people seem to really like the food. My only concern is that when my husband finished his beer, the server didn't ask if he wanted anything else. Maybe her mind was elsewhere, but she just took the glass without saying anything. A bit strange. It is a tiny place, so don't bring luggage here! And I did overhear that they don't take reservations. So just pop in to see if they have a spot for you. read more

This small tapas place is a great find. From the outside it looked a bit touristic to me, but going inside changed my mind. It's a very cosy and very small restaurant with maybe around 8 tables or so. The tapas are delicious! I went with two friends and we ordered the chicken, mushrooms, octopus and mussels. Although I didn't have the octopus, I heard from my friends that it was good. The mushrooms and chicken were soo tasty! Their house wine was also pretty good. The mussels were the main attraction on our table, it was a good portion for three people (since we also had the other things) and had a very nice sauce. It was delicious! I had eaten mussels before (in Normandy, France) but not really with sauce, etc. it was very bland and I really didn't think it was worth putting up with the rather funky look of the mussels hahahaha so I didn't like it, but this place made me change my mind! They serve their tapas very "Spanish style" and I really liked it. You can choose from the menu, or choose at the counter where they have tapas for 4.50€ each. I'm giving the place three stars because they do re-heat the tapas and it's not fresh, and I think the outside signs could be a bit more authentic and less touristy. The good quality is ok. But it makes up for it with taste! I'll be going back and I actually keep craving their mussels all the time! read more

Restaurant Tip: You can order Tapas from the menu or go inside and pick your tapas choices from the two small glass cases on the bar.( This selection is different than the menu.) If this is your first experience with tapas, this is a good way to go as you can see exactly what you are about to get! These on average are less expensive than the menu at about 4.50E per dish. They are all excellent and the serving size is very generous...and so were the wine pours the day we were there!! The garlic aioli and farmers bread is a must! The staff of two did an excellent job rushing around taking care of all the tables. read more

Service was fast and efficient. The place is family owned and run and it's admirable seeing everyone working together. We had a late lunch at 3 pm. Ordered gambas, almondigas, patatas bravas and crema catalan. The patatas was a bit overcooked as well as the albondigas. But overall the flavors were great. The place was cozy and it almost felt you were in Spain. read more

It's a small gem among many touristic places which strive for volume of sales over the quality - here at Tapas Catala quality makes you want to come again! Not fancy, simple place, packed with tables and an open kitchen where Spanish guys are cooking everything on the fly. I consider sitting at the bar in this place to be of a special taking:) it's much more interesting and cozy! Prices are fair. Not cheap but not overpriced either. read more

My sister went there last week and the service was horrible, they didn't have anything of what she ordered, she even ordered a plate and the order was delivered to the next table, when she asked for the "albondigas" the server who was From Spain said they ran out of it... Go figure, they didn't have nothing at 10pm... read more

After exploring the area on Google Maps, we found Tapas Catala with great reviews. This cozy eatery serves up delicious tapas fresh out of the oven!

Close to our hotel and the first meal in Amsterdam. Very good, filling and a great selection.

A great tapas bar almost like the ones I have been to in Spain. The service was really friendly. The tapas all tasted great. Only the prices are maybe a bit high for people who are looking for cheap food, but the quality of the tapas are definitely worth it. We had a good time and good food there. read more

I was in Amsterdam for the week. After a few days of dutch food, I craved for Spanish tapas. This place is extremely small, but felt authentic. You have the option to eat at the bar or sit at a table. I ordered the large tapas to share. It was good, but I ordered way too much. Overall, the food was super tasty and relatively affordable. read more
