Second trip back to Barcelona. Had to make the right restaurant choices for my favorite tapas dishes. I was definitely right on the mark as all restaurants I've walked by before dinner wasn't as crowded as this. And this place had a line out the door. Pan con tomate (toasted bread with tomato spread) was done sooo right here because they used crisp brioche bread and the tomato spread had a nice balanced ratio of olive oil blended into it. The patatas bravas (brave potatoes) took me back to the first time I had this in 2018. Such good crisp skin, soft fluffiness and that aioli mayo signature sauce on top - I swear I feel they make their own sauce for this dish. Grilled octopus here is special as instead of a tentacle - you get a fatty piece with multiple cuts of the octopus. Even better just as you would get multiple pieces of fatty toro in an omakase. I just loved the ease of dining in Barcelona where you share small intricate flavored plates with a glass of wine to balance these dishes. It was a nice long but roomier restaurant in the back. Very deceptive to the eyes but in a good way. You get to see the chefs cook near you that makes you appreciate the work of art put into the food. And can't forget the oxtail dish that's uniquely in the form of a patty and broken up into shredded meats. Fabulous to everything. read more

Great food and vibe with friendly service. We went here without reservations on a Friday night, but it being early(6pm) we were seated without a wait. We got the pinxto morano (lamb skewers) which were the favorite of the meal, glazed beef cheeks and grilled octopus with chick peas, all of which were good. For dessert with got the dark chocolate with olive oil and salt served with bread to top off a great meal. They do have other dishes that we would look forward to trying next time! read more

This was a very small place with the tiniest of kitchens but they put out the most amazing food. We loved the vermouth (ice, wedge of lemon), burrata, fried eggplant (lightly dusted, fried, covered in honey and EVO drizzle, and lemon zest), cannelloni with mushroom and béchamel, braised beef cheeks (Galta cercio ibérico) over mashed potatoes and reduced red wine sauce. Eggplant was the most surprising dish. Galta was most flavorful. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Wow! I love lamb and have it often out and always enjoy, but oh my, the lamb at Tapeo was by far the most delicious I've ever had. So incredibly tender! We had great service and the food coming out of the kitchen all looked great. We were able to get in without a reservation, but I would recommend getting one. Incredible food! read more

Wow. Just wow. Long day in Barcelona, went to Sagrada Família, Gothic Quarter, Arch De Triomf, Montjuic Castle, and National Art Museum of Catalonia. Let's just say it was a tourist speed run. Girlfriend got reservations here (what a lady!) and she might have just given me the best meal of my life. This meal was like a defibrillator for someone whose heart has stopped. Like an ice bath after a hot long day. Like a kiss after a first date. Let's just say... magical. I highly recommend to any and everyone, especially USA gringos like myself ¡Guau! ¡Guau! Un día largo en Barcelona. Fui a la Sagrada Familia, el Barrio Gótico, el Arco del Triunfo, el Castillo de Montjuïc y el Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña. Digamos que fue una ruta turística rápida. Mi novia tenía reserva aquí (¡menuda mujer!) y probablemente me dio la mejor comida de mi vida. Esta comida fue como un desfibrilador para alguien a quien se le ha parado el corazón. Como un baño de hielo después de un largo día. Como un beso después del primer día. Digamos que... mágico. Se lo recomiendo a todo el mundo, especialmente a los gringos estadounidenses como yo. read more

Great food and beautiful atmosphere and people. After a lot of bad food in Paris, this place was outstanding in every way. Even when people showed up without a reservation, they handled it nicely and tried to get them in anyway. Can't wait to go back. read more

Absolutely the best meal in Spain for us so far! We didn't have a reservation on a Wednesday night, but they squeezed us in. Sat at the two seats in front of the kitchen window and had the unexpected treat watching the chefs create magic on a plate! The star of the evening for me was the ceviche. Super fresh, and brimming with flavor! I could have easily had a second serving since I had to share it with my husband. The skirt steak was perfectly medium rare, and the chimichurri added just the right amount of spice and delicate heat. The burrata, tomato and bread, and pitcher of Sangria were the perfect accompaniments. The thinly sliced pork belly was tasty, but we were second guessing the order after seeing the ribs brought to another table. We ended with the ice cream sandwich dessert special. This place is an absolute must go to if you're lucky enough to be in the area. read more

Best patatas bravas in Spain! We also got something called the Bomba Barcelona. I had to Google what that meant and after specifying in the search i was talking about the food and not the bombings that happened in Barcelona (which is a lot unfortunately) we decided to order. Very amazing- fried mashed potatoes basically. Great after a disappointing day at a museum (Moco museum) but more about that in my next review. read more

bit more expensive than all the other tapas meals we've had but actually very good and is my bf's favorite food place in spain!! you should absolutely try the pork ribs in honey and mustard sauce (I don't like mustard but the mustard flavor hardly pulls through). might be the softest and best meat i've had in a few years? amazing quality here. read more

I've ordered many tapas at this place, but there's not a single dish you can seem to find any fault with. As shown in the picture, they are very beautiful and very tasty. The oysters, peppers and pork belly were very fresh. The aseptic fried potatoes with ham were just perfect and made me feel so satisfied and lucky! This is a tapas that I would like to visit multiple times during my only two-day trip. Service is proactive and professional. Again, The food is very very very very good. read more

Excellent food. Great variety. Highly recommend falta de ternera and a he chorizo garbanzo dish. Truly relaxed environment away from loud streets although in the heart of the Gothic district, walking distance form Museo Picasso. The waiter pays attention to everyone and everyone. Great service. Will recommend and return! read more

The food and service is excellent! We came for lunch then another day for dinner. The place gets crowded during dinner time and you'd need a reservation. read more

Really hard to find! It's a hole in the wall type of place. Also because they recently changed their name. But the food! All my God it's to die for! read more

This place won me over with the following tapas : tripe stew followed by mixed wild mushrooms, foiegras and an egg, and squidinkpasta with cremefraiche. The croquettes were also very delicious but not too far off from what I had in nyc. These dishes really wow me. Super umami and delicious! Tip: have your hotel concierge or someone you know who speak Spanish to help you make reservation ahead of time. This place has limited seats and popular (expect to wait if you plan to walk-in). read more

Hey guys it's your boy Luke G aka the Italian stallion aka Shots McGee aka the toothless pirate. Tapeo is one of my favorite tapas bar in all the land. It has good food, good staff, the kitchen is quick, and the ambiance is good. I had the fritas bravas, the skirt steak, steak tar tar, salmon, and the ribs. All were absolute stone cold killers. Highly recommend but I suggest getting there early because it was packed. read more

Excellent tapas in El Born! Quiet and small, with very nice staff. When I arrived, a nice man greeted me and told me the food there was the best in the city. After he left, the waiter told me that the man who told me that was a famous Michelin-starred chef. So don't take my word for it--take his!! read more

I was visiting with my boyfriend from NY and looking for the best most authentic tapas place. We settled in our hotel and wanted to start the search but quickly forgot that in Barcelona there's a 3 hour block were everything is closed till 1830 so we got to the hotel like around 1800 and we were starving so we just walked around to see what was opened. Our hotel is literally around the corner from this place and we decided to give it a try. OMG. The food was INCREDIBLE and the service was fast and nice. I bookmarked this place just so I can remember to come back to this place when I visit Barcelona again. People you have to try this place if you're in the area. You will not be disappointed. I'm telling you! Lol read more

Don't leave Barcelona without trying Tapeo. We are already planning our next trip. We've tried great food in our hometown of San Francisco as well as all over the world and this is our favorite. Must try: any fresh fish offering, burger, buffalo mozzarella, cava sangria. Wonderful service and clean; beautiful establishment. Walking through quaint alleyways to arrive was all part of the fun experience. Very reasonable prices. Outstanding! read more

Wandered by with tired feet, and too our great surprise found this wonderful little place with amazing tapas! Everything was done with care. Looking for a quiet corner to take a break, enjoy some good wine, and sample some traditional tapas, this is it! read more

I can't believe there are no reviews on this place. There should be 247 5-star reviews already. I travel a lot and happen upon places but this came on recommendation from a foodie friend. Well worth it. Cathedral de Barcelona is 10-min walk and in the thick of old town alleyways. Amazing food and friendly service. Do it. read more

The food here was so so good I'm so in love with the beans and cod fish + octopus potato salad! I came here early when they've just opened and the food was prepared fresh! Definitely would come back here again if I stop by Barcelona! read more
