    Cute lil spot tucked in front of the Music Palace of Catalunya. This was our first night in Barcelona and wanted to try tapas. After a 1 hour wait( I'd recommend planning ahead), we were seated. Place is pretty small on the inside. Kids had the fried squid with aioli which was yumm! We tried the pan con tomate, the charcuterie board and everything was really good.

    Good location, right next to Palau de Musica. The tapas were good but not exceptional, maroccan chicken was dry and mussels curry lacked flavor. Enchiladas with cheese and nuts and tuna tartare were really good. Solid 4 stars.

    First tapas spot and thought the menu was all too similar to surrounding restaurants. The prices are fair considering it is across from the palau de Musica and near the cathedral. I had the tuna tataki, a bit overzealous with the soy but it held its own. Had it with a white sangria for an afternoon snack. i would have ordered more but they cleared my table so I took my leave. Not much for ambiance, a casual bar. Centrally located in Old Town/ Gothic area.

    Montaditos and tuna tartar

    I've been here three times in one week. The food is fantastic, the staff is super friendly. I love the montaditos with brie and tomato marmalade. The tuna tartar is fantastic. I've also had the moroccan style chicken and it did not disappoint. Highly, highly recommend.

    Delicious espresso martini! This was the best meal of our four days in Barcelona.

    Amazing food! Amazing staff! Very reasonable prices! Wish I had another day so I could eat here again!

    Stopped at Tosca before seeing a flamenco show at Palau de la Música Catalana, and the tapas were absolutely phenomenal. We ordered muscles, chicken, potatoes bravas and cheesey cauliflower before cleansing our palate with a cheese dish that included a tasty jam. The perfect spot to stop at before going to any event at Palau de la Música Catalana.

    Empanadas
    Alicia C.

    Yummy and inventive and not your traditional tapas if you're looking for some flair. The empanadas that essentially were French onion soup inside a doughy casing were unbelievable. I could have had dozens of them, though my waistline would have paid the price, my taste buds thanked me for sure! Really loved the variety of flavors. Mussels were very good with a yummy sauce, ripe for dipping. The sangria was very good - snag a pitcher. Overall the vibe was bustling energy and felt like you were really part of a happy night of diners all enjoying their plates of goodness!

    Awesome food and service. Great Opera house right across street. Sangria was good and refreshing with Tapas being the star of the show. English spoken quite well.

    TLDR: one of my favorite meals of the trip! ____ This was our first stop and man did it set the tone. This cozy and quaint little spot can be romantic and casual at the same time. We started off with a jar of Sangria. It was delicious and maybe my favorite of the trip. Patatas bravas - fried chunks of potato with a spicy sauce to dip in. Pan con tomate - man I love this! So simple. It's bread with a bit of mashed tomato spread. Provolone cheese with Chimichurri- this was a delight! The cheese pull is fantastic, but the taste is even better. Empnada with goat cheese mozzarella walnuts and camarolozsd onions - these were excellent! Chorizo - I didn't love this. It was ok, just not what I was expecting. Service was top notch. We considered coming back here before the end of the trip but ultimately opted to try new things. I wouldn't have been mad having once more little meal here.

    Amazing food and great prices! Display was great (see picture)! My wife and I highly recommend it assuming u do not want a nice formal dinner. This is a nice casual place. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Amazing! The food was delicious, everything we ordered was honestly so good. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The wine and drinks were delish. Such a cute place too. Highly recommend!

    Patatas bravas
    Erica S.

    We came here for lunch on our last full day and this was my favorite meal of the trip! Between the two of us we ordered one menu of the day with pork, patatas bravas and risotto. The menu of the day also came with a beverage (husband ordered a beer) and dessert or coffee, we choose to get the carrot cake (to share). In addition to that, we ordered the deep fried squid and the tuna (based off our waitress' recommendation). Everything was delicious! It was a ton of food and we finished everything! The tuna was a great choice, it was so fresh and flavorful with the different sauces. The patatas bravas were my favorite of the trip, because they left the sauce on the side it stayed crispy for the entire meal. The squid was another great item because it was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside.

Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value. If you are in the area DO NOT waste your time nor money dining here!!!

The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

We had read reviews that the food scene…read moreextended well into the night, so we decided that even though it was 10:30pm, we would still walk over to Tapeo and see if we had any luck getting seating. Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.

(Was absolute rubbish and waste of time) The service: minimal Food: Below average paella Portion: I have had bigger tapas for babies Drinks: I have no idea what was served.

But my view is that if you love food, care about your customers, love your business; then care for your brand and don't join crappy partnerships. And if you plan to do that; suck it up and serve proper food!
