    Asparagus
    Amy W.

    We only had two dinners in Barcelona before our cruise, so we had to make them count, and this place absolutely delivered. Yelp steered me here, and it did not disappoint! First tip: make a reservation. We booked one the day before (easy peasy), but when we got there they were turning people away left and right. So yeah, feeling pretty smug about that one. The vibe is totally authentic: cramped, lively, and full of energy. There's bar seating, a few high tables, and a little room in the back, but we loved being up front where all the action was. Our waiter, Jarrel (pronounced like Superman's father), was the absolute best. He guided us through the menu like a pro, and we ended up with some killer dishes. The sausage cannelloni? Life-changing. The fried asparagus? Hey, a girl's gotta have her vegetables, am I right? The steak was okay - but we should have gotten the ribs that everyone else was getting, so learn from my mistake. I was most excited for the foie gras and egg dish, but it leaned a little too heavy on the truffle (which is not something I say often) and not enough foie. Still, it was a fantastic meal overall. We told Jarrel we wanted a leisurely dinner to soak up the atmosphere, and he timed everything perfectly.

    Cutest tapas spot! Highly recommend, very trendy. Some things you must get: patatas bravas, octopus, cuddlefish pasta. Each bite was delish! Consistent service, would come back!

    Steak chimichurri
    Sabrina S.

    I came here highly recommended while visiting BCN and was so impressed with everything I ordered. I came on a week night so it was easy to grab a table. Staff were very accommodating and helpful with discussing the menus. The tapas here were incredible with honorable mentions to the patatas bravas, steak chimichurri and the lamb! Everything was so tasty and priced friendly for the amount of food! I would absolutely come back next time I visit BCN

    Ham croquettes, small but yummy  & 1/2 liter sangria
    Terri K.

    The food & sangria were absolutely wonderful! We got lucky at lunch & were able to get 2 seats at the bar without reservations. Recommend making reservations for lunch & dinner. Reasonable prices & beautiful presentation. Tempura asparagus was huge & delicious. Ham croquettes were delicious, a bit small so we should've got 2 orders. The quinoa & avocado salad was divine. The beef tenderloin cooked perfectly & delicious. Sangria sold by 1/2 liter or full liter. Service was good.

    Beef burger
    Carson M.

    Really great small tapas place, that is pretty affordable in my opinion for the quality. You could make reservations in advance, although there seemed to be tables available on Friday around 1pm. If you're a couple, I recommend bar seating as the seated tables are a bit cramped and against the wall. Standouts were patatas Bravas, 100% beef burger, and beef tenderloin. The patatas was fried well. The beef burger was nicely salted and went well with the foie gras. Beef tenderloin was fairly soft and potatoes were very thinly sliced.

    No one here was nice. Food wasn't good. Go across the street for nice people and good vibes. Disappointed in this place by bad attitudes the whole way. Would have tipped but when you're that mean and salty why. Soooooo ruddeee

    Asparagus and fish ceviche
    Janet T.

    We went back 3 times during our trip!!! It was absolutely amazing. Some of the best food Ive had thus far. The ceviche itself was mind blowing, I would highly recommend trying this! The service was on and off but towards our last visit they warmed up to us. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu (they've been in business for 15 years so I am hopeful they will still be there when I go back to Barcelona) ¡Fuimos de regreso 3 veces durante nuestro viaje!!! Fue absolutamente increíble. Algunas de las mejores comidas que he probado hasta ahora. El ceviche en sí fue impresionante, lo recomiendo muchísimo. El servicio fue intermitente, pero en nuestra última visita se mostraron más atentos con nosotros. No puedo esperar para volver y probar el resto del menú (llevan 15 años en el negocio, así que tengo la esperanza de que todavía estén allí cuando regrese a Barcelona).

    Patatas Bravas
    Suz K.

    Their Patatas Bravas was the best of our trip (we had order that dish at 4 different restaurants during a week and often like but loved them here). The English menu said chicken "wings" but they were actually chicken thighs on lettuce wraps with cheese and herbs that were delicious. Broken eggs on Iberian Ham over potatoes - great breakfast dish. Loved both white and red vermut!

    Hands down BEST RESTAURANT we visited in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid). Went there three times in 2 weeks. Only place we went to more than once. Every single dish was an experience and the best version of that dish that we had had on our entire trip. Please do yourself a favor and make time to come here. The place is small and it gets busy fast so we made it a point to go before 6 PM for dinner since we didn't mind (we're American and eat early anyways) in that way we didn't have to wait in line or feel cramped in the small space.

    I really enjoyed my meal at Tapeo. I made reservations for Saturday lunch at 1:30 for 2 people and was seated promptly when we arrived. I think they were taking some walk-in groups but for later, as I heard the bartender tell someone to come back in an hour. The restaurant is long and narrow. Most seating in the front is high tops or at the bar. It's bigger than I thought it was, with additional booth seating in the back. We started out sharing a half pitcher of sangria for 10€, which was about one cup per person. It's on the strong side here; you can definitely taste the wine. Most of the food menu centers around various tapas dishes, including some Catalonian dishes. The menu is meat heavy but does have limited vegetarian options as well. We ordered three tapas: Yakisoba de verduritas / vegetable yakisoba (12€) - this was pretty standard Meloso de ternera con tuetano asado / sweet veal with roasted marrow (18€) - I loved every single bite of this dish. The veal was melt in your mouth tender and paired perfectly with the marrow. Conejo con caracoles / grilled boneless rabbit with snails (14€) - I wanted to try a Catalonian dish and this sounded really interesting, so I got it. Essentially it's ground rabbit meat served with snails on top. I couldn't really tell it was rabbit meat, but it was quite tasty!

    We had a reservation for Tapao thanks to Jacob's lovely grandfather when we got these very sexy. We had a nice walk here beautiful streets amazing atmosphere. We walked in and we thought the place was packed, but that was just the first section. There are two main sections of the restaurant we were sat kind of in between the two when we sat down. We were a little bit cramped by the section, but we get it because the place is very busy and popular. We ordered a few different things I think about six or 7/ first one we had was the crickets very very, very good. The second dish ceviche was a little McCormick generic tasting definitely not very Barcelona more to come. oh my God, I'm bloody knackered we had snail with rabbit rib meat. We had steak we had such good food not gonna lie. I had a little too much of the sangria so I can't remember everything we drank but every single thing we ate was around an 8 to 10 out of 10 it arranged from their atmosphere was amazing like I said food presentation was amazing. Lleyton was amazing. Surfing was amazing and it was absolutely a buying in my great recommendation from Jake's Grandpa and had a great time with the fellas.

    Tenderloin with truffle sauce
    Renee S.

    My niece and I are on a european whirlwind trip that started in Barcelona today. She found Tapeo looking at TikTok. We walked in and immediately notice the charm. This is a small restaurant with bars eating for around 8 and table wearing for around 20. We were there for an hour and a half and were not rushed at all. We started with burrata with tomatoes, the burrata was creamy and now and then you'd hit some flaked salt and wow. The bombeta - which they are known for, it did not disappoint! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Then we moved on to the beef tenderloin with truffle sauce. The tenderloin was on top of what we think were really tender thinly sliced potato. Then the cuttlefish pasta came out. This is a large dish, multiple people can enjoy it. The noodles were tender, the ink made a flavorful sauce and the small pieces of cuttlefish were tender. It came with an aioli that added some nice depth to the fish. Finally, I couldn't leave without trying the meat stuffed morel mushrooms. The cream sauce made it next level. Overall, we loved everything we tried and wish we could go back tomorrow to try more!! Highly recommend!!

    Squid ink pasta
    Amber C.

    Best ribs of my life. I don't know what they did to make the glaze but it was like heaven. Could eat 10 more of them. The squid ink pasta was also SO GOOD. The steak and lamb were also really tender really good.

This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

My son had been here last year and thought, it was a solid. We put our name in, went to a nearby park bench to wait and watch people for 50 minutes. The servers outside are grumpy as to many people are crowding the sidewalk and impeding his service. Finally, our name was called, were seated at the bar, and watched a chef make the magic dishes. The menu is huge and I can't help but watch the delicious dishes flying by us. So little time and yet so many great choices, this won't be easy. We began with the beef tenderloin montadito foie gras. It was presented as a open face sandwich on a bagette. We split it as it had a huge piece of foie gras. The tenderloin was tough and the tapas tasted like indivdual components, not a blended or refined profile. The grilled razor clams were nicely cooked, slightly gritty and needed to be washed more thoroughly. The Spanish omelet wedge was spiritual, dish of the night award. The onion made the dish! The sliced fried artichoke was finely shaved, and again lacked a enjoyable flavor that I would order again. The chips with fried eggs and Jabugo ham was different, tasty and a concept I would not of thought about. Delicious! Casveseria Catalanahe was packed and stacked for a reason. A high vibe and energy even in the face of a revolt at the check in desk from hungry dinners. I came say without hesitation, we will give them a second try. The staff was friendly, engaging, warm and a good sense of humor, nothing but smiles. I can't wait for our next trip to Cerveseria Catalana and let them tell me what to order. Good luck and see you sooner than later.

I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable.

While all of the food was great, for me the codfish was hands-down the star of the show and probably one of the best dishes that I ate on the trip. The flavor of the sauce combined with the texture of the fish actually blew me away, and I can see why my server highly recommended this to me. If you just get one things when coming here, definitely make sure not to miss this dish. Highly recommend checking this place out for Spanish tapas, they represent the cuisine well!

Taverna El Glop wraps you up in its warm, lively atmosphere the second you walk in. We were a group of four, and from start to finish, we had an awesome time. The open kitchen is a great touch -- you can watch the chef in action, which adds to the energy and makes the whole experience feel more connected and authentic. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was on point. The paella was rich and delicious -- exactly what we came for. The patatas bravas were crispy, creamy, and gone in seconds, and the shishito peppers were the perfect salty, snacky starter. Of course, we had to get a pitcher of sangria (okay, maybe two), which was fruity, refreshing, and just strong enough to keep things festive. The space itself has this great, rustic charm -- complete with checkered tablecloths and even an old cigarette machine near the bar (haven't seen one of those since I was a kid -- aren't those banned in the U.S. now?). I don't smoke -- smoking sucks -- but it added a bit of unexpected nostalgia and character. Service was excellent. I always make a point to be friendly, ask people their names, and introduce myself -- and that's usually met with warmth. It definitely was here. The staff were quick, kind, and seemed to enjoy the place as much as we did. Personally, I loved it. It's the kind of place you remember -- not because it's fancy or trendy, but because it's fun, flavorful, and full of heart. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
