Check all the above. Service Sat outside and ordered amazing tapas: anchovies and olives (get this!), tempura artichokes (very good), chorizo with cider (wow), octopus with potato (octopus great- potato made it heavy- ended up eating the potato with the chorizo), cod with potato and pepper (amazing). Super nice folks- all locals here (good sign ). Ask for ricardo (amazing!) He even gave us comp after dinner drinks. Highly recommend! read more

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

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. read more

Tossa - Paella marinera - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Tossa - Pork Tenderloin - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

This place is on a small quiet street a bit away from tourist area. I like the low key, casual feel of sitting at table on the sidewalk. Best tomato bread I had so far. Grilled shrimps and clams in green sauce were memorable. I did try to find recipes to reproduce all the dishes I had at this place. Yeah...that's how much I like their foods :) Waiter was very attentive yet non-intruding. He did not check on us every few minutes (but disappeared when we actually needed him...like here in the U.S lol), yet foods always came out at the right time, and he always showed up when we needed. read more

A very good lunch option in walking distance from La Sagrada Familia. Lots of tapas options. Good seafood selections. Cold beer on tap. Friendly service and family friendly. read more

Tossa - Great tapas lunch. Family friendly - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

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. read more

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! 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

We must have come on an off day. Came for lunch on a Thursday. The waiter completely screwed up our order, even though we only ordered 3 things. And the camarones grilled was totally overpriced. I felt like a tourist taken for a ride. He may have been in training, because the manager (a middle aged woman) gave him a look when he we came up to the bar to remind him about our olives. Don't eat here for lunch. Go elsewhere. read more

I missed my group leaving for dinner and walked to this restaurant from my hotel. I was very happy with the service and the food. For the value it is great. First off, my Spanish is terrible and they helped me. Second, my server made recommendations. I had the beer on tap (good), the jamon, the grilled octopus with potator and rosemary that was wonderful, and a potato tapas with meat that was DELICIOUS. I do not know the name of the potato dish because the server graciously recommended it and said it was good. I was not disappointed! I would recommend this nice little tapas bar to anyone! read more

Amazing food! Outside of the main tourist area but not far. Everything we had was amazing, they also have an English menu which helped us!

Selected this restaurant based on Yelp review, and everything was awesome. Just a short walk from La Sagrada Familia and away from the tourists. The pork wrapped in bacon and grilled octopus were great and tasty, but the spinach salad was out of this world! Almost didn't select the restaurant since it's so basic, but don't let the looks deceive you. read more

Tossa was our first stop after arriving in Barcelona and settling into our apartment. We weren't yet familiar with the city or the language and the owner and wait staff were so nice to us. Everything we ate was delicious. Their outdoor seating area is lovely. We went back a week later for our last meal before heading to the airport and it was just as wonderful. We decided their potatoes bravas are the best we had the entire week. Would definitely recommend. read more

Nice friendly vibe. Very good & simple menu. Every dish that came out after mine looked even better. I would eat here again. The croquets were great. read more

We swung by last night by chance and it was SO delicious. Daniel our server was also super attentive and awesome. Totally reccomend this spot to others! Thank you, Daniel! read more

Next time I would order Ceps Croquettes (likely to be stronger flavour than the Foie) and the Clams (can't see it on the menu, perhaps it was a special?). The bread should be automatic but if not, specifically request it. They offer grilled octopus, prawns and calamari which I find generally to be safe bets. http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/tossa-barcelona-01-2013 read more

Be aware: the portions are big. If you consider to order as much as you do in the touristic parts of Barcelona, then you will faint of food overdose. The food is excellent and I do recommend the sautéed Mushrooms and the Apple Cider Chorizo. read more

This place was terrible. We ordered Catalan bread, it took 10+ minutes. We wanted tapas orders, the server was absolutely no help. He just talked about us to the bar tender at every opportunity. We asked for suggestions, he just looked at us and was not helpful. Finally ordered ham croquetas, terrible. We got up, paid the bill to that point and left. DON'T EAT HERE!!!! The place was empty at dinner time, that should have been our first clue. read more

I miss you already! My favorite in Barcelona! Delicious ..locals fav!

A disappointing tapas bar with a very large selection of so-so food. I was expecting more from that place after reading a review of a few years ago but was disappointed. read more

The best Bravas in Barcelona. Okay, that may be hyperbole, but we literally ate Bravas every day we were in Barcelona, and of the 11 places we ate at, Tossa's were by far the best. The rest of the food we had there was pretty good, too! read more

The place is terrible. We walked by and everything seemed quite nice and because we were very hungry, we decided to give it a try. We ordered the daily omelette which was tiny and tasteless. After that we ordered famous potatoes bravas and nachos with four cheeses. After first bite, we knew that was a huge mistake. Sauce for potatoes was disgusting, it pretty much tasted like ketchup mixed with mayo. Nachos tasted cheap and 4 cheeses sauce surely had zero cheese in it. We asked for the bill and left the place immediately. We do not recommend eating here. read more

We had nice tapas here twice and enjoyed everything we ate. Service was good and the ambience was too.

Best tapas place we had in Spain. Definitely try the pork tenderloin, very tender and moist. Homemade beer is great too.

Found this restaurant from a local review. Had a great meal. Great service. Loved the bravo potatoes, silver anchovies and chocolate cake. Waiter treated us with limoncello ... definitely recommend to tourists that want to dine where locals dine. read more

Great patatas bravas and meatballs. Our group of 5 licked their plates clean. Took about 15 minutes to be seated. Tiny (think plane size) shared bathroom. No soap to wash our hands (bring some with you) but food was good. Well seasoned, quickly prepared and hit the spot for us. If I get here again I would just order the meatballs and patatas bravas: 12 euro and you would be full. They were nice, food was delicious (we tried almost everything on the menu!) We likes all the non-fried menu items we tried. Seafood was pricey for the quantity but fair for the quality. Would not hesitate to eat here again. Close to the Sagrada Família and well worth the short walk. We really appreciated the rapid service and polite staff. The Mango salsa was beautifully arranged and very fresh. The croquettas were so-so. Fried seafood was pretty but more oil in the breading than I prefer. Overall worth trying! read more
