I was very impressed with Tosca. Cool location, in the Gothic district, outstanding tapas and good prices. The prawns were a highlight of the meal and they have decent vegetarian options as well. We went on a Wednesday evening rather late (11:00PM) it was quiet and intimate with good service. I would definitely go if I'm in Barcelona again. read more

Tosca - Prawns, house Jamie and patatas bravas - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Stopped by here as a party of 3 on a Tuesday night with no reservation, and waited only 15 min for a table. Service was very friendly and prompt. The red sangria was delicious and fruity, very refreshing on a warm summer night - better to order a pitcher instead of a glass. All our tapas were delicious and a pleasant to share among the three of us: olives, provolone cheese w/sun dried tomatoes and chimichuri, tuna tataki, chicken skewers, sirloin w/mushroom sauce, rustic pizza, and of course the patatas bravas. Overall it was a delicious meal, right across the way from the concert hall. Great location and a great meal. read more

Tosca Food was good but a little overrated in the reviews. It's good, hearty tasty tapas but very basic as Becky. It's across the street from a landmark (Casa Batlló) so the good reviews are due to it being in a super touristy spot. Probably wouldn't revisit if I had the chance, but if I was starving to death, I wouldn't say no if someone offered me a meal! We ordered the... Cava (white sangria) - it's good and pretty looking Grilled prawns - not super fresh according to SO Goat cheese empanadas - good but it's baked and not fried which leads to its blandness Goat cheese salad - I love goat cheese personally but it was basic salad Curry Mussels - decent but the sauce wasn't blow me away and clearly sitting on a hot plate Lasagna - awesome that it is vegetarian but I'm a meat eating planet hater so my standards are tastier None of the dishes were really Insta-worthy so no pics taken. Mediocre restaurant in a great touristy spot but there are better options in Barcelona. There's way better options just a short walk away! read more

Food was fresh and wonderful!! If you are lucky enough to have Francesco as your waiter, he is a true gem!!!! Wonderful hidden restaurant with staff from Italy, France and Australia- right across from the Palau de la Musica. read more

Everything about this place is so great! We loved it so much that we ate here twice. I'm not sure how we found this place, I think we consulted Yelp and the reviews were great. Anywho, we wanted to divulge in some tapas and come to a spot off the beaten path that wasn't a tourist trap. My friend and I were seated right away. We had a cute little table next to the door. The servers are friendly and many speak English. They bring you a basket that has your silverware, napkins and also includes some moist towelettes. We ordered a pitcher of cava sangria. Which was very refreshing and delicious. We watched the bartender make it right behind the bar. Because we were super hungry, we ordered an abundance of tapas. We shared the garlic prawns, spring rolls, empanadas, provolone cheese with chimichurri and the mini lasagna. I also ordered the filet. And the second time we came, I ordered the salmon with bok choy. I dont even know where to begin with the food. Everything was so delicious. My favorite was the empanada. It was a baked empanada and it was packed full of creamy goat cheese and mozzarella. The carmelized onions gave the empanadas a nice balanced sweetness and the walnuts added a welcomed crunch. We loved these so much that we got them again when we came back later that week. I also liked the salmon with bok choy. The glaze on the salmon was perfect. My other favorite dish was the mini lasagna. I couldn't tell there was no meat on this lasagna. It was soooooooo good and I loved the pumpkin in it and also the walnuts gave a nice crunch. Overall our experience was great here and if I'm every back in Barcelona, this place I my number one spot to grab a bite to eat. 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

Not the greatest price value. The Chipirones lacked taste. The Mix Tabla wasn't well balanced with the ibérico products. Service was good. read more

The Patatas Bravas are probably the best tapas here, though the empanadas are also tasty as hell. The vegetarian chili is average at best. Can't speak for the meat tapas my friends ate, but the tapas overall are solid. We came here on an evening after going through Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia. The service wasn't too good -- our waiter ignored us a few times before coming back and we waited quite a while for our food. I would recommend this place as a solid restaurant, but wouldn't come back here because I think there's better places to try. read more

I love this place! delicious food (bravas, empanadas, chef salad, fried baby squid, risotto) to name a few, wine by the glass is outstanding! Service is great, in our week long vacation in Barcelona we went to Tosca three times, that is saying a lot when Barcelona has as many great restaurants as they do, go there you'll love Tosca too! read more

Awesome little gem across from La Palau de la Musica. Such a great value! We tried the 11 euro special of 3 tapas, a drink (either wine, beer or sangria) and a coffee. There was so much food, we ate maybe half and were stuffed! I tried the mushroom and carrot risotto, the fried potatoes and this goat cheese & mozzarella empanada. Carb-a-licious. Their sangria was off the hook! The service was also great, as the server was extra nice and helpful. Next time I'm in Barcelona, I need to come back and try a few more things! read more

Went for tapas and sangria. The tomato bread, flatbread, fried baby squid, muscles in light curry sauce, and seared salmon were all outstanding. Everything was well seasoned and perfectly portioned.

I came here for lunch, given the positive ratings on Yelp. We had an amazing view by the window. Super cute and cozy place. The staff is so sweet and welcoming here. This is a great place for vegetarians, and for the meat lovers, they also had a great selection of options. I selected the menu of the day, which allowed me to select 3 tapas from a list of 10 to 12 options. Bread, beverage, and dessert or coffee were also included in the 12.50€ price. I got the cheese and onion empanadas (delicious), the cream of vegetable soup (also delicious) and the patatas bravas (... again, delicious) a glass of white wine, and dulce de leche ice cream to round it off. So good! Very generous portions. read more

Great dinner that was inexpensive and delicious. The servers were friendly and helpful, and the wine by the glass was reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Tasty selection of tapas that are reasonably priced. For the tourist, they provide both Spanish and English menus. I think we ordered half the menu. There were five of us and we ordered chef salad, goat cheese salad, empanada, lasagne, prawns, mixed platter, potatoes wedges and one other bread/meat dish. All very tasty and certainly enough food for all. read more

Tosca was a perfect end to our Spain trip this time. Located across the street from Palau Musica Catalina, it offered great views of the Palau as well as good vibe inside. Plus it was very kids friendly. We ordered 4-5 tapas. The shrimp tapa came with shell on, so it was a little hard to eat. Patatas Bravas was standard, croquettes were good. read more

Very good. Family had just arrived in BCN and after a few Minutes walking we found this place. Great staff and tasty food. read more

We ate here our second night in Barcelona. There was a small wait, but we got in no problem. They had a great bread with Brie and tomato jam. We also enjoyed a goat cheese salad and Danish meatballs. Service was inconsistent. They took our order quickly, got our drinks quickly, and brought out a lot of the food quickly, and even clean red the table quickly, but it took us a long time to deal with the bill, which was odd considering that there were lots of people waiting to get a table. read more

Excellent food and great service for cheap price! Came here on a Friday evening looking for a restaurant near the gothic district that offered some variations of the classic Spanish cuisine. Arrived around 8:30-9pm and we were given a table within 5 minutes. Our order was taken right away and our food and beverages arrived within minutes. Staff spoke English and were extremely friendly. Would highly suggest ordering 2-4 plates per person. Every item we ordered was excellent. Would come back here in a heart beat. read more

Tosca - Juste pour que Yelp corrige ses horaires ! Photo prise le 20/11/2016 - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

After many tapas style restaurants in Barcelona, I've come across this wonderful place! You really must come here to try at least once while you're in town. The food here is very flavorful but my personal favorite was the potatoes wedges with curry onion mayonnaise and the onion sprawns with parsley (very reasonable price compared to other places that are doubled in price). I also had the fried baby squid (not my favorite but still good), Rustic pizza and the mixed platter that was delicious! For dessert I had the banana cake, but I think you'll be better off with the traditional flan. Overall, the food is great and so was the service read more

I initially came here over the summer with my parents and was back in Barcelona with my girlfriend a few months later and had to come back because the place is that good. In totality, we had the spring rolls, pork dumplings, lasagna, sirloin, and provolone cheese with chimichurri and sun dried tomatoes. My favorite was the lasagna and provolone cheese dish. Each had an element I would not ordinarily try but that stood out because it made the dish. Between the food and ambience I would suggest coming in and giving it a try. Really affordable spot as well and good bites. read more

We went based on the yelp reviews but were disappointed. Food was mediocre and expensive.

Stopped by before a flamenco show at the Palau de Música Catalana and was very pleasantly surprised. The place was packed but we managed to snag two seats at the bar and that was perfectly fine. We ordered the danish meatballs, hummus, strip sirloin, patatas bravas, empanadas, and bread with tomato. The highlights were the patatas bravas and the strip sirloin. I ordered red sangria and my friend ordered the white sangria. Both were very strong but delicious. Service was a little slow but that's to be expected in Europe, especially when it's busy. Also, even though it was extremely busy it was not loud and didn't inhibit conversation. Upon leaving there was a fair sized line for people to get a table so you know a place is good when there is a line. Would definitely visit again. read more

My sister and I came to this restaurant on the last night of our holiday in Barcelona. When we arrived we were greeted very politely and seated in no time in a very comfortable space. It was an absolute pitty we just found out about it now because the food was AMAZING and very very well priced. We both got the Salmon with Bok Choy and both agreed it was the best salmon dish we had in Barcelona. The drinks are also decently priced, we had sangria Cava and it was delicious with a generous amount of alcohol which is always good. Definitely would recommend coming here, if we had of known about this earlier we would have come back every night! read more

My cousin and I stumbled upon this place on a busy Saturday night in search of food. By stumbled, I mean I yelped good restaurants within our proximity. It was by far some of the best tapas I had while in Barcelona. I had the montadito with smoked salmon and Philadelphia cheese. It was alright, and they charge you for each slice of bread. What impressed me were the meatballs in a tasty almond sauce. I do recommend these! read more

This place is cute and the food is decent, but there's definitely better in the area. The location is awesome in that it's right in front of the Palau de Música. The menu definitely has a very American twist and the food tastes like anything you can get in a bistro in the US. We tried the patatas with jamon, the Chef salad, the calamari and the salmon tartar. All decent but nothing to write home about. read more

On our final night in Barcelona, my wife and I found this gem across from the Barcelona Opera House in the Gothic Quarters. The food was plentiful and the flavors out of this world. We ordered the sampler platter of meats, cheeses and bread along with the vegetable empanadas and sirloin steak. Except the steak wasn't sirloin - it was filet mignon which was tender enough to be cut with a fork! We finished off with cappuccino and a very healthy glass of Frangelico. The bill came to 44 Euros! World-class cuisine, atmosphere and hospitality for that price makes us hungry for more! When we go back to Barcelona next year Tosca's will be our first stop! read more

This place is outstanding. Definitely a must when in Barcelona. So many choices and all delicious!

Danish Meatballs were good. The steak and mushroom sauce was ok. Meat was slightly overcooked.

First of all this restaurant is at an amazing location. Directly across the Palau de la Música Catalana - our table was essentially directly opposite that beautiful building. The tapas were great - the best selection for vegetarians. The lasagna tapa was the best lasagna I had in the past 20 years ... partly because it is made of really thin pasta layers - whatever the secret was it was very flavorful... and other tapas were also very tasty. I loved the mussels in creamy curry sauce. We loved this place so much that we went back the next night because it had a good choice of vegetarian tapas and very tasty. To repeat myself, an absolutely fabulous location. read more

Overrated, but I suppose you could say it's "authentic" Spanish cuisine, if that even exists in the central tourist hub of Barcelona :P The pricing is reasonable, not much love or hate, just a lot of apathy towards the food. This place made me begin to realize that yelp cannot be trusted outside of Los Angeles or other major US metros because I've run into the same problem in other countries. For outside of the US, I'd recommend TripAdvisor. YELPERS, WE NEED TO STEP UP OUR GLOBAL GAME. Stop handing out 5 stars to places like hotcakes!!!! read more
