Totally GREAT!! Sangria, 2 goat cheese salads, sea bass, tuna titaki split between two! We are stuffed & satiated!!! Everything delicious !! read more

Tosca has great options for your dining meal. Tonight my wife and I had the shrimp pictured below. It gets messy on the hands but worth the extra work. We also selected the potato's, meatballs, and sirloin steak. For desert we had the delicious brownie and ice cream pictured below. The service was really attentive and helpful. Unfortunately, the couple next to us were eating the garnished shrimp and splashed the shrimp contents on our table and it got on my wife dress. The couple knew but did not offer an apology rather just laugh. When you're level headed you don't let other people's childish actions affect your dinner with your beautiful wife. This is a restaurant I would visit again. read more

Love everything we ordered. Great service and great food. Being from a different country they made us feel welcomed. Super sweet and welcoming servers. I already miss their food. Be careful not too order too much like we did. Actually...order and try everything read more

Sangria was delicious! The place was pretty crowded and loud, but to be expected as a show had just gotten out at the Palau de la Música Catalana right across the street. The cheese plate was delicious. It came with this sweet spread that paired really nicely with the cheeses. I would recommend this place, but be prepared for the crowds. read more

Such a delicious dinner! We ordered the garlic shrimp which was finger licking. Every table had an order of it so it's a must try here. Wasn't the biggest fan of the white sangria. We also had the meatballs, sirloin steak which was cooked just perfectly and the potatoes which came out hot and fresh with this amazing dipping sauce. The best part of dinner was the dessert. We shared the warm walnut brownie and ice cream. I honestly didn't want to share but I had to be nice :) read more

Cool place to hit right before the concert at the Palau. Good service, food was good, and ambiance was great. Had the prawns, you will have to work to eat these but the flavor was great. Patata brava was good, love the sauce. Sirloin was great, and it has two spices. Sangria was good, plenty of fanta in it. read more

Visited this place on my travels to Barcelona & trying to find a tapas restaurant with good reviews and my adventures led me here. The location is quite nice as its located right in the gothic quarters, surrounded by beautiful architecture. The restaurant itself wasnt super packed, but there was a good handful of people during a normal dinner time (7:45pm). The lighting & music gave the place a nice relaxed, semi-bougie vibe. The pricing wasnt anything outlandish for its location (heavy foot traffic tourist area) but the quality of food was definitely up to par. Not the best I've had, but not the worst, above average. Even though all the other reviews are raving about the potatoes being amazing, i saw nothing special about em. The almond cream meatballs were something I'd recommend trying. Everything else didnt really WOW me, but it was well done none the less. If you're looking for a tapas spot and you're in the area, I'd check this spot out! The drinks are reasonably priced as well. I tried the margarita and it was very well balanced & strong. read more

Stumbled at this place at night after wondering around Barcelona and I would say that I was glad I did. Everything we order was delicious: Catalan style bread w/ tomato, patatas bravas, fried baby squid, and definitely the garlic prawns! Servers were great and attentive. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone and would definitely go back if I had a chance. read more

We were in a group of 7 and looking for a place that would hold all of us, and luckily Tosca was able to accommodate us quickly on a Thursday night around 9:45pm. This was a nicer place for a pretty decent price. The inside of the restaurant had a classy vibe and the presentation of the food was beautiful. They also had English menus and waiters that spoke English, which was super helpful for our group of Americans. We each got 2 dishes each and were satisfied with what we ordered. I got the goat cheese salad and the chorizo with chimichurri. The salad was super fresh and the goat cheese round was grilled and placed on top. The chorizo was also delicious especially with the chimichurri sauce. I would want to come back and try some of the other options because everything seemed great. If you want to spice up your tapas and have a little bit of a more high-end dinner, I would recommend! read more

Stumbled upon Tosca walking around the streets for our first night after a few restaurants were full. We had a group of 7 and Tosca was able to accommodate us in a timely fashion. I was SO happy to finally find a place that had tapas with fresh, healthy, unique, and flavorful options. I ordered the salmon with bok choy and the house salad. The salmon was delicious and perfectly cooked with a light sauce. For 7,40 Euro, I found it quite a steal to have salmon like that. The house salad was made with avocados, sundried tomatoes, aged balsamic, honey mustard, and a spring mix which was also very good. The thing I loved about this place the most was that I left the restaurant feeling good not stuffed, or not hungry but felt very light. Overall, fresh food, good prices, and kind staff. Recommended! read more

This is a really small, cozy restaurant in downtown Barcelona. My boyfriend and I were seated right away around 8:30 on a Thursday evening. The staff was really friendly and continually checked up on us without being pushy. I wouldn't call the cuisine classic Spanish, but it is tapas/shareable with a good variety of options. We had the spring rolls stuffed with Asian vegetables, mini lasagna, strips of sirloin with herb and mushroom sauce and provolone cheese with chimichurri and sun dried tomatoes. Everything was really good but my favorite was the sirloin and cheese. The sirloin was medium rare (just the way I like it, not so much for my boyfriend), with a really tasty sauce. It was super tender and delish. It was pretty small but typical size for tapas. The cheese was really good. It was literally just cheese with tomatoes and chimichurri sauce, served with perfectly crispy bread. So simple but so yummy. The lasagna was interesting and not my favorite. The walnuts in it were a little weird to me. The spring rolls were good but nothing special. I wanted to try the prawns but after looking at pictures on Yelp, I wasn't thrilled to see that they were completely shelled, so we passed on those. read more

We had alot of sangría in the 10 days here in Barcelona. I believe the sangría made with cava (Spanish wine) here was the best. The mint Gelato and breaded baby squids were delicious. The shrimp, chorizo, and the vermuth was just ok. We came twice, mainly for that cava sangría. read more

Super yummy and in a cute space. My friends and I came here on a whim and will definitely be back! Employees were nice and we had a great time. Try the empanadas!!! read more

We stopped by this place a couple of times for their Sangria with cava, it was very refreshing and delicious. They also had an amazing mint ice cream /gelato, one of the best I've ever had! We tried their patatas bravas, their Chimichurri, breaded squid and some shrimp. They were pretty good. read more

We got here at around 5:30 which is quite early in Spain but there were still a few other tables filled as well. We enjoyed the olives, pan con tomato, empanadas and pasta bravas. They are located right across from petit palace so not exactly sure how authentic they are or if they just cater to tourist types. read more

An intimate tapas bar. The lighting was dim and romantic. It was a cosy setting and decor. The staff were less warm and inviting. We ended up ordering a few items from the menu. A starter which ended up being charcuterie and a mixed platter that had no description other than "mixed platter" that ended up being more charcuterie. I guess we should have asked what was in the platter so we didn't end up with so much of the same thing. Overall a bit pricey considering what we all had. It felt a bit rushed eating here too. read more

This was our favorite tapas restaurant in Barcelona! Most restaurants do not serve dinner until 9pm but we were so lucky to find this place open while we were hungry at 7pm. I like how this place is open early without being too touristy, and the food is still amazing! We came here 3 nights in a row which tells you how much we loved the place. The restaurant has a hip, trendy vibe with plenty of drinks and tasty tapas to choose from on the menu. My friend and I came here around 7-8pm and we never had to wait for a table, so there is usually plenty of seating. Everything we ordered on the menu was delicious and very flavorful. I've tried the goat cheese salad, the grilled prawns with garlic and parsley (my absolute favorite), patatas bravas (potatoes), jamon iberico with bread, sirloin steak, and sundried tomatoes and anchovies. The prawns tasted very fresh and they were so good that we ate everything including the shells! I still dream about the food even as I'm writing this review. We also paired our meal with a nice glass of bubbly pink cava. The servers here are friendly and can speak English, and the menus are bilingual. If you are in the Gothic Quarter neighborhood of Barcelona, then this is the restaurant you need to try! read more

Tosca was highly rated for vegetarian options in tapas and it did not disappoint. We stopped by at Tosca at around 8:30 pm thinking it is too early for dinner so the crowd will be manageable. We were wrong and there was a short wait for seating. We decided to talk a walk and come back later. It was easier to get seated right away at 10 pm. Nothing beats the location. Right across my fav building - palace of catalan music; it is in a 'touristy' spot. They cater to tourists and have menus available in english too. The restaurant has soft lights with cozy ambience. It was lively and full on a Tuesday night but service was prompt. We had olives tapas along with patata bravas and vegetarian empanadas. Everything was great. My husband loved the olives and the empanadas were really good. Patatas bravas was good too but not the best. Cava was good too. Lovely place if you are looking for vegetarian options in tapas. read more

Tosca is a wonderful tapas bar near the Palau de La Musica. After wandering around Born trying to figure out where to stop, we stumbled in and had the provolone with sun dried tomatoes. When we go home, I have to figure out how to recreate it. It's AMAZING!!! read more

The food is not great. Service was friendly and efficient. The prawns were disappointing, salmon was mediocre, and even the salad was not good. Nice people but the food is a disappointment. read more

I have NO idea why the ratings are for this place are so high. The food was terrible only to be outdone by the rude and nonexistent service. The server barely greeted us with a scowl and literally snatched the menu out of my friends hand because "they were no longer serving cocktails." The Potatas Bravas tasted like they came straight out of a bag. The chorizo was flavorless and rubbery. This was our first night and first meal in Barcelona and one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a very long time. read more

The service was friendly, but nothing to be "wowed" by. The food was also nice enough, but nothing special. Their ceviche was 4 stars, and they had a vegetable lasagna that was 3.5 stars, but everything else was average/good. Didn't see any locals dining there; just tourists. read more

Eat here! Every bite was amazing. I highly recommend the salmon, goat cheese salad, cava sangria, chorizo, seared tuna, and brownie dessert. Excellent tapas for an excellent price! Best meal yet in Barcelona. read more

This was one of the two worst meals we had while in Spain. We ordered a variety of appetizers, and they were all below average. A couple were inedible. We ate here after seeing that the place had good reviews. A large group of peowas eating at the restaurant and they were extremely loud and their yells and screams took over the whole restaurant. Nobody who worked there said anything to them. I do not recommend. read more

Great local tapas place, close to our hotel. We had the bread with Brie, danish meatballs, goat cheese salad, potatoes with curry, and tuna tataki. All dishes were great tasting and perfect for sharing. Would order all the dishes again. We finished with banana cake which was soft, warm and had chocolate sauce. The topping is sour cream, not whip cream or butter...just an FYI. ;) Had a glass of wine, which was very tasty and inexpensive! read more

Came here because La Lolea was all booked up. Was pretty full when we got here for dinner. Got the house sangria (not bad but not as good as La Lolea!), garlic prawns with parsley and white wine sauce, hake on a bed of silky pea mash + mini clams + white wine reduction, spicy Spanish sausage in chimi churro sauce. The garlic prawns were outstanding. Very fresh, shell and legs were crispy and flavorful. The legs were so good I ate them. I was tempted to eat the whole thing with the shell on because the flavor of the marinade was so good. The hake was OK. A little over cooked for my taste and the pea mash was unremarkable. It tasted almost like grits. The sausage was good and the sauce tasted like mustard rather than chimi-churri sauce. Pretty good thought and I'd order this again also. read more

Very nice restaurant! I went in August 2016 We took two glasses of wine (Rioja) at 3.5€! They serve big glasses (I'm not used to that in France). We took a mixed cheese and ham at 12 and one tapa (empanada). Everything was very good, if you have a budget. Because the tapas can be expensive. (not less that 6 euros generally) I recommend! read more

Food was decent, but the service was awful. We ordered 4 tapas entrees which were served 50 minutes later. We ordered a desert tapas which never arrived. We asked for the check, which also never arrived after waiting 30 minutes, so we left. I don't even think they noticed. read more

Quaint little restaurant with so many good dishes!! Great way to our Barcelona trip! I'd come back again next time! The food: Jamon Iberica: very generous portion!! Tasty and delicious! Foie gras and cheese plate: very smooth foie gras and yummy Brie. Nothing too extraordinary but comfort food for those who love foie gras and Brie. Mussels: they cook theirs with a green/herb/garlicky sauce. It was finger licking good!! We dipped bread into the sauce! :-) Fried baby octopus: MUST GET! Freshly fried so it's hot and cooked perfectly! Not rubbery, not smelly, not greasy. So good! Sangria: light, flavorful, refreshing on a warm summer's night! read more

I came to Tosca with a friend while we were on vacation in Barcelona in September. It is a small and lively place with a great ambience in the Gothic Quarter. We really liked the quaint setup/decor of the restaurant, and the music in the background was a nice touch. We started off with a pitcher of red sangria. Though the sangria was not as fruity and flavorful as I generally prefer, it was strong enough to feel good after a half pitcher (split with my friend) and fairly cheap. For tapas, we ordered the baby squid, the chorizo, the rustic pizza, and the empanadas. Though the baby squid was fried perfectly, it was a little bland. The chorizo was also lacking a bit in spice, though it was hearty. The rustic pizza (containing sweet potatoes, chorizo, feta) was delicious- though a seemingly random grouping, the combination of flavors was amazing, and all the ingredients managed to stand out. My favorite, however, was the empanada dish (caramelized onion, goat cheese, mozzarella, walnuts). Caramelized onion and goat cheese are a naturally great, rich pairing; combined with the crunch of the walnuts, the empanadas were heavenly. I would definitely come back here if I come back to Barcelona; it is a great tapas bar. read more

Based on the reviews, I was expecting much better. The location is great and food was fine, but not 4 star worthy. I had the onion and cheese empanadas and meatballs in almond sauce. The meatballs were delicious and the sauce flavorful and creamy. It was the empanadas that were disappointing. The were somewhat cold which dampened the flavor. read more
