Best tapas I've ever had. Try to grab the corner seat at the bar and be sure to order: steak tartar , tuna chunks, langoustines , jamon , almejas del carrillo, razor clams & the steak w/ olive oil .

Noah Weiss

Very tasty albeit a bit more expensive tapas . Cuddle fish croquettes (“obama ”), steak tartare with pan con tomate, patatas bravas with extra spicy oil all great.

Vicki Kolovou

Exceptional food and service!! Everything we tried was delicious and the house wine , excellent. You must pre-book because it's packed with locals. Very reasonable prices for the great quality!

violeta

One of my fav in Bcn! Great staff and atmosphere, whatever you order is delicious. Try obama 's, steak tartar , and foie grass

Sam Maes

This restaurant in the Eixample area is a hidden gem . The food is delicious and fresh. It can get busy but the atmosphere stays nice and the service remains quick! A seafood heaven!

Florian Raufeisen

Very friendly staff and extraordinary tasting tapas and sea food . We took the steak tartar , Pop a la planxa and Croquetes de sípia “Obama ” and it was delicious!

Lars Ginnerup

Really popular place - but also really professional service and tasty well-prepared food. The chicken/ham croquettes are super recommendable.

Charles B

best tapas ive ever had. asked a bunch of locals and this was their pick. place delivers on every dish, but the steak tartar is my favorite jam .

Jetset Bart

Highly recommend the razor clams , courgette flowers, bombas, bravas (probably the best you'll find in Barcelona), pan con tomate and garlic steak . The plates just kept coming & it was all outstanding!

Julia Oso

Your traditional tapas done just a tad bit different: the touch so subtle you don't even know what exactly is not like the usual thing. Keep in mind their patatas bravissimas are real hot indeed!

Rodolfo W

A few "must-try"s are pepito de ternera, gazpacho , filete de tuna crudo , patatas bravissimas y bacalao esqueixat. You can find most of these anywhere, but nothing will ever compare to here.

Tobias Grönberg

Marvellous resto, with high standards and an extensive list of delicious tapas . Authentic , and full of locals since tourist seem to not manage to reach out of their comfort zone. Highly recommended.

Johnmael Vazquez

This place is amazing. Service and food are absolutely good. Try: steak tartar , bomba, rabo de buey, asparagus , pa amb tomaquèt (of course) and crema catalana for dessert .

Elizabeth Iriz

The cuttlefish croquetas were phenomenal! Make sure you add them to what I’m sure will be a lengthy list of selections from their menu.

Mario S

Just divine. Make sure you engage with the waiter for recommendations. And be careful as you'll soon lose track of how much you've eaten. Try the steak , the squid , the fried cod ... All great

Deniz Ozuygur

Best tapas in Barcelona ! Winners were raw tuna , steak tartare and tomato bread . Skip the meatballs and octopus .. Also, very attentive and friendly staff . Sit at the bar ..

Adam Awda

Friendly , great food, simple decor and all the locals go here... I recommend the patas bravas it's all delicious just try it all...

Jessica Rae

Tapas Rocks! from the classical calamares fritos (fried cuttlefish rings) to the pimientos de Padrón (green peppers , some fiery, from the Galician town of Padrón.)

Fatima Al Hashimi

Hands down best tapas in Barcelona !! We tried a variety of things & everything was good!!

Condé Nast Traveler

Jetset Bart

Simple, fresh, delicious ingredients. Attentive service. As a tapas aficionado I was excited to try lots of things & literally everything we had was wonderful!

A. Idil Gaziulusoy

Amazing tapas , mostly seafood . If you haven't booked go early (8ish) to get a spot at the bar which is more fun anyway than sitting at a table.

Malamadre

It's a bit expensive and lots of tourists come here but you get great service and each plate will leave you wanting more, cosy place . I would ask for the daily specials .

Holger Lüdorf

I just give you seven words: Gambas , ham , tartar , pepper steak , raw tuna

Luke

You can't go wrong with their varied seafood offerings, but the steak tartar is excellent too

Alina J.

All my recommendations go to this place. Sit at the bar with cava and try their sea snails, tuna tataki and baby scallops .

Kim Tan

Obama squid croquettes were great! Service generally friendly and efficient. A recommend.

vanton

Nice tapas and if you are lucky you can find a place to sit easier than other tapas bars in the area with this kind of quality.

Lina Bodestad

Their tapas are simply outstanding - try the veal carpaccio with duck fois gras , the rabbit fillet with garlic or the "obama " cuttlefish croquettes .

Elizabeth Burstein

Delicious tapas place where we enjoyed veggie tempura , ham plate, boiled shrimp , and white wine . Tuna tartar was ok

Natalia Montilla

This place is amazing! Awesome tapas , great service and good ambience. Get there early if you don't have a reservation .

Vinil Reddy

Patatas bravas , cod fritters & deep-fried mashed cuttlefish . They're so nice and would refer to visit again. Unfortunately paella is available only for lunch .

Ryan Stenson

You should try some sort of liver dish called Montadito de foie . And everything else. Best tapas ever!

Amazing gazpacho , bambo, cuttlefish obama were amazing. Skip the mushrooms with ham - bland

Gorgeous tapas bar . Mouth watering food, funky atmosphere, attentive service . And very unpretentious. If you're in Barca, make it a must-stop.

Great Spanish tavern. The oxtail , mushroom croquettes , and the toro carpaccio are particularly delicious
