Everything was fabulous. Six of us shared the tapas for four, which included desert, coffee and TWO bottles of wine, and separately ordered a seafood paella. The waiter was alone, but was working full speed providing exceptional service. We had more than enough food for all. Great spot in Barcelona to sit outside and feast.
Surprisingly good food in amazing location near Sagrada Familia. No frills place that will have excellent food: very flavorful paella with huge servings, nice croquetas, perfect tortilla de patata and a really tasty Brie salad. Another surprise was de chocolate crepe and the crepe catalana did not disappoint.
Tossa was great, exactly what we were looking for - some place reasonably priced and easy for lunch. Service was quick and friendly which was a welcome surprise. Started with the spanish omelette which was fine, little oily for me but definintely not bad. Greek salad was fine, nothing special, rather standard, but still tasty. Then got piquillo peppers which were great. Really good flavor - some heat, some smoke, bit of salt. Would get these again. But the best item were the honey sauce chicken breasts. These were excellent. Came on their own stone board with tons sauce and a good spice seasoning the chicken. Convenient, quick, easy, definitely get the chicken breasts!
Delicious croquettes, ham, potatoes, and pan con tomate. Also got a tasty Catalan bottle of wine recommended for 14 euro. Service was friendly, attentive, and helpful. Would definitely return. Also able to sit outside near a space heater ... huge plus! And the little grappa shot at the end was an unexpected but pleasant bonus.
Fantastic little tapas place near enough to the SF, but far enough away it's off the tourist path. We enjoyed several dishes as well as a small pitcher of sangria that was the perfect size for two people. The service was good and efficient. The waiter spoke English well, too. Tapas are reasonably priced and of high quality. The only downside is that when sitting outside you have to deal with all the smokers making our meals a living hell.
Great experience here as it is in the same block as Barcelona 1882 hotel. The restaurant has been around for 20 years and people are mostly locals so it is quaint and authentic. We asked the waiter Daniel and nothing he recommended was bad at all! Grilled octopus with potato and rosemary, blacks (potato with breaking cheese), Catalan bread and pork bruschetta and mixed coquette. We also had chocolate coulant which is like lava cake with fresh fresh whipped cream that is light. Daniel also let us try crem arroz con leche which like sake with cream. Wow! It is a great way to end the meal! This may be our go to place for our breakfast as well!
Found the recommendation on yelp. I like that it's an unassuming corner cafe - nothing fancy in the furnishings but the food, oh my goodness the food! The flavours are amazing. I had the selection of Mixed croquettes which were amazing and the tapas with seafood. Downed by a lovely glass of sangria. This places reminds me of home. I love it. Go ahead, try them - you shan't be disappointed.
Stopped in because we were in the area and the place did not disappoint. We had an assortment of tapas which included: papas bravas, pork tenderloin, chicken with mustard sauce (recommend), grilled octopus, tuna tartare, and croquetas. So everything was delicious except for the tuna tartare which I found extremely bland. Considering this is a coastal city I think all of the seafood should be on point but this dish was kind of a let down. There was also only one server for the entire night service and he did a great job running back and forth between tables but I do think they were a little under staffed. We'd come back.
We were a group of eight with four teenagers. After spending most of the day walking and had a very underwhelming lunch at a well known tapas place made famous by Bourdain, we put our faith in Yelp by braving out to a restaurant with only a handful of reviews. And we're glad we did it! Don't get swayed away by the simple setting of the place and the remoteness of the location (due to other popular tourist attractions), this place is legitimately good. Everything we tried was really fresh and tasty. The waiter, who practically waited the entire restaurant, was very pleasant and helpful. We asked for recommendations and he patiently answered all of our questions. What we ordered: - Steamed mussels (crazy fresh and we ordered seconds after devouring the first ones in two minutes flat) - Seafood tapas combination. Everything, except one kind of fish, is good, especially the octopus. Even though most of the stuff is grilled, you can taste the freshness. - Croquettes combination. We sampled their croquettes and all of them are good. It includes chicken, cheese, mushroom, and some other ones I can't remember. - Calamari tapas. Nice and soft. - Catalan bread. With the tomatoes on top, it was interesting. - Local beer. We didn't try the draft beer, but the bottled local one is quite good with almost no bitter taste. And at the end, to top off the brilliant dinner experience, we were given some sort of liquor for the adults. If we ever come back to Barcelona, this place would be the first on our list.
The service was superb! Our waitress even gave us a complimentary digestif! We sat outside, and enjoyed everything we ordered! The tomato bread, chicken with mustard, and vegetable croquettes were our favorites. We also really enjoyed the grilled vegetables! This place is no frills but very local and very yummy! We will definitely return when we come back here. English menu and very helpful staff! Bravas sauce was awesome too!

I love Barcelona so much. I don't want to leave! Been gallivanting this beautiful city and asking suggestions from locals for places to try. They said Tossa has the best paella and it's also close to where I'm staying. I can officially say eating paella in Spain is officially off of my bucket list. It was EVERYTHING. I waited specifically for Friday to eat it, since it's Lent and Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays. * Seafood paella * Grilled octopus with potato * Squid with garlic and pesto * red sangria read more

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, and friendly waiter! We ordered lots of tapas and shared. We ordered fried artichokes with a tomato sauce, mussels, fried fish with red sauce and aioli, a variety of croquettes, patatas bravas, and roasted little green peppers (I think it was called peppers padron). We also got delicious sangria! Very affordable as well. read more
