Cal Pep

Nice to sit at the bar and to let the waiter serve you the tapas menu . Best tortilla i've tasted. Lot of tourists nowadays - like me :-) best chance to get a spot when you come early for lunch at 13hr

Amazing authentic Catalunya/tapas food. Be adventurous and let the entertaining waiters create a menu on the fly for you. Also, order a glass or two of the Cava wine . You can't go wrong here!

I've been here almost 6-7 times and my final favorites list includes vongoles , tortilla and the white fish . Try not to eat so much before the fish , cause it is the best of all.

Its a "must"place before you leave Barcelona, let waiters direct you to choose tapas ! Great service and food!Try cava and house wines .. Its not too much expensive if you dont have a main course.

Small mediterranean rest. where the idea is to share dishes, so you can ask for a half dish in order to try a LOT more things. The quality is xecellent, but it's always overcrowded. It's worth it!

Fantastic tapas and super nice staff . Show up right at 7pm when they open (an prepare to wait). They also have a restaurant in the back if you don’t want to sit at the counter.

Omg , food is so good here. Loved the razor clams , Vongole , steak and the mille-feuille is to die for!!! Service is excellent.

Everything is just amazing! Best tapas ever! Monk fish , fried artichokes , etc.The service is amazing! Everything about it is just fantastic, loved it! It’s a must in Barcelona

An institution for a reason, order the clams , tortilla , fried artichoke if in season (dip it in the clam sauce ), the steak and patatas and the white fish bake. Yum yummy!

Best meal you’ll eat in Barça! Eating at the bar seems fun, but we had an amazing dinner in the back. Staff was perfect!

Excellent food although there is equally good food to be had in BCN for less money. Try the seafood dishes . It's in every guide book , so the lines are aalways long.

You must eat the fried peppers and fried baby squids , and also try creme catalan for dessert , it's a bit pricy and you wait about an hour at the line but worth it :)

This was a cut above the other 'tapas ' places we tried locally. Not cheap but the fillet steak dish (€10pp) was amazing. Oh and they serve beer by the pint which is a winner.

Sit at the bar , tell the waiter if you prefer seafood or meat (seafood ), order a white wine and enjoy. Its the type of meal you hope to have when abroad in a foreign country .

A little bit expensive but it worths this great experience. Sitting on a bar stool, some improvisation by the waiters , great taste of food. You'll be shaking hands when you're leaving.

What U eat in Cal Pep stay in Cal Pep ???? Amazing seafood with the smell of sea. You must try tuna tartar !

One of the most known tapas spots in BCN.Its reputation goes largely behind the city wall and it's justified.Nothing to say just that you have to be there once otherwise you don't know what tapas are.

Let them tell you what is good. They'll recommend what's freshest that day. Baby squid and chickpeas was amazing!

You don't get a menu and the waiters decide what to serve according to your likings. Sea food tapas were amazing. But sausage with beans was too aromatic for me. The prices are quite high

Best. Meal. Just go. Put yourself in the hands of the servers, and know that you can't go wrong! We loved the green peppers and the sole in particular.

This place is a must! They only take ressies for 4+ in the back, otherwise worth the wait for a bar seat !

Cal Pep is without any doubt one of the best places to visit in Barcelona. There is no menu. The food is marbles and the atmosphere too

Try the cuttlefish with garbanzos and razor clams . Or just ask them to bring what's fresh. Possibly the best meal I've had in Barcelona.

Go for lunch you have a better shot at getting a seat at the counter. Make sure you get the monk fish it's awesome.

Can't go wrong with anything you are served... bit pricey , but the best tapas in the city by far. Worth the wait in line .

If you don't want to wait, make sure you are there at least 15 mins before opening and stay in the line ???? the food is definitely worth it ????????

Fried Green pepper , octopus and rib eye steak with potatoes are the best tapas I had.

Let them do their thing and bring you whatever is fresh and delicious. You will not be disappointed. Octopus was spectacular.

Day two - 2pm: Cal Pep (Plaça de les Olles 8; 0034 93 310 79 61; calpep.com) is known for its super-fresh seafood tapas . It pays to book ahead. From around £15.

By far the best tapas experience I've ever had! Never even imagined that plain fried squids could be AS delicious... Must visit it again.

Best tapas in bcn ! Get the fried peppers , fried baby shrimps , tuna tartare , and definitely their creme brulee and this amazing honey rum cake !

Just sit in front of Pep and tell him what you like! Barcelona'ya gelip de buraya gelmeyenin dilini tayyeap isirsin!

Amazing seafood , top service! Clams were amazing and the tuna tartar so fresh and yummy!

Tell the waiter whether you like seafood or meat and let him bring you the delicious tapas and just enjoy! it's relatively expensive but it worths!

one of the best tapas bar in bcn... yes u have to do line and u have to be there with a spanish person or know what u want to eat... but it's great!!

We recommend this tapas bar a lot for some reasons: Cal Pep is nearby our hotel , and offers a great variety of tapas with lots of intention!

You have to wait in line forever and then the waiter simply asks you what types of things you like. The seafood was perfect with cava and the bustling atmosphere was picture-perfect Barcelona.

Their reputation holds up. Best clams I've had in my life. The tortilla was also the best I'd had in Spain .

Try to arrive early, it gets really crowded or if possible reserve a table (at least two weeks in advance). Don't miss the tuna-tartar.

Wonderful !! Let pep pick your tapas .. The tortilla is a must !

The authentic tapas bar is nice but that's it. everything is adequately tasty, wasn't impressed as a chef ! domates sürülmüş ekmek mi? Patates ve domatesle balık nedir? Pep needs to step up his game..

Great for fresh seafood , good ideas and good atmosphere. Expect to wait in line for 30 minutes

Fresh tapas and try beef ! It is delicious!

The place opens at 13:00, but is closed on Sunday. Even if you arrive around 12.40, you find a long queue in the entrance. But it absolutely worths!!

Seafood is great with great atmosphere.

Clams and fish and steak - amazing! Also Bavarian cream dessert !

Tuna tartare , octopus , artichoke , solomio.. beautiful place with delicious food.

Great food but you must eat your clams a particular way otherwise you get abused by staff :) Slurp them! Slurp them!

Already very well-renowned place, but worth the visit for their tapas and fish .

Good tapas in a popular location, small environment but friendly , a bit more expensive than I expected, however the food are all tasty.
