La Cova Fumada

Seriously one of the best spots for authentic tapas in Barcelona. Mostly locals were present. Everything was superb! Also there homemade vermut wine was something else! ????

Calamari is the best I've had in Barcelona. The bacalao, blood sausage (morcillas ) are also very good. Have the la bomba for a fun starter.

My favorite restaurant in Barcelona! Get the gambas , bomba, grilled calamari , the fish of the day, razor clams , sardines

My favourite tapas bar in Barcelona. They're only open until 3pm, cheap , cheerful and serve spectacular seafood . Also try the artichokes .

Great down to earth tapas . Delicious calamari (grilled squid ), la bomba , grilled artichoke . Bacalao and fried calamari rings looked good too.

One of the tastiest things I ever had! Amazing food, absolutely amazing. Do not be fooled by the simple internal design...

Grilled calamar is exceptional. Prawns are so fresh, delicious bit pricy according to other tapas in restaurant . Environment is so basic, Prices are not cheap , but ok

A must spot when you do bar hopping at Barceloneta. The hot sauce makes your beer 3 times tastier.

JASON: Fish is incredibly fresh, make homemade bombas, a fatty ball of mashed potatoes , sometimes with meat stuffing, and mayo on the side. Morning and lunch place, so go by while taking in the area.

The place to go at La Barceloneta to find good local food. Authentic and fantastic

The real thing. In the old days the fishermen in Barcelona got 1/2 their pay in fish - and then their families made restaurants like "La Cova Fumada"

La bomba and Calamari were awesome and artichokes is a must as well . Great atmosphere and friendly service . This year is their 70th anniversary, so that tells you how authentic this place is!

old style is better. don't miss any of these plates: bomba, morcilla , garbanzos and chorizo . the allioli here is killer and the service is super quick.

Artichokes , pan con aïoli , morcilla and garbanzos , bombas, grilled calamari ... It's all good here.

Best meal in Barcelona. Tiny seafood focussed tapas bar open weird hours. Stand at the bar and order one of everything.

Perfect, family kitchen with a fantastic service, food and atmosphere.

My favorite in Barceloneta. Don't miss: Bomba, botifarra negra amb cigrons, Cartxofes, Calamar or any fresh seafood . More: http://savetheguiris.com/barcelona-map/la-cova-fumada

My favorite hot tapas place in Barceloneta. It has traditional atmosphere and affordable prices . Recommendation: La Bomba , mushrooms , seafood and artichokes .

The bomba is stupid but tasty. Buy one so this amazing place can pay their bills. But don't leave here without those fucking garbanzos .

Bomba and calamari were exceptional!

Catalanian tapas in old school atmosphere surrounded by locals. Great bombas and grilled calamari . Loved the experience!

It's very traditional and the service is fast. Highly recommend !

taste, service, atmosphere all of restaurant are very good. unforgettable place

Just enough the vibe and food. Try La Bomba

Check the opening hours as it varies daily.

Bomba is a solid start, pulpo is delicious :)

This place follows an old local tradition. The fishermen used to get half of their salary in fish , not money. Many fishermen's wives cooked it and sold it in little restaurants . This place is one.

Very simple place, amazing tapas , a bit expensive but worth the experience

The real deal! Bombas originated here

Tallarines, Octopus , Scampi , Artichokes

Catch the helpful host wearing glasses to explain yourselves in English and get seated on crowds hours.

Booombaaa!

Everething perfect!!!!!

The sardines and the roasted artichoke are marvelous!

Las Bombas are really great, but quite spicy :)

Best calamar ever

Delicious! The famous bombas are indeed amazing.

Bomba & calamari

La Bomba y calamares are the best!

Bomba!!! Enough said....

Excellent Calamari

bombas and fried fishbait

Bombas and retalls ????

best place in town for La Bomba

Best tapas in Barceloneta! Very very very good!!!!

Unfortunately, not even got a chance to get food! We were sitting for 20 minutes and NO ONE came to serve us! Wtf.

Uno de los mejores bares de tapas de la ciudad. Inventaron la bomba . Además, pescado y marisco fresquísimo y desayunos de tenedor con cap i pota y potaje de garbanzos .

La comida es EXCELENTE. Estar aquí y no comer bombas o pulpo es un pecado!!! Pequeño restaurante de barrio , local, pequeño y muy acogedor . Muy amables todos los que trabajan allí. Volveré :)

Muy risas en general y además la comida muy buena, me fui sin probar el calamar , pero fue lo que más me recomendaron, la próxima lo pediré seguro, lo malo es la cola que se forma para entrar.

De lo mejor de la zona!! Bar antiguo y pequeño pero von muchisimo encanto, todo de calidad.
