El Xampanyet

Great intimate place in el born. I highly recommend that place when you are in Barcelona. Get a bottle of cava (cheap !!!) and taste the fresh tapas . Awesome! Many locals there!

An exceptional experience with some of the best tapas around. The atmosphere and energy of the place is electrifying. Don't worry about going to town on the menu and cava , the price will be minimal.

They have one of the best tapas in Barcelona! You have to try the house wine and their ham . The grilled calamari with pesto is spot on delicious. This place is very inexpensive . Eat at the bar !

Old style small restaurant with excellent traditional tapas . Beans & botifarra, white asparagus , leaks and pan con tomate, all very good. Be prepared to wait in line though, but we'll worth it.

I have no words...the chickpeas with bacon and the huevos ferrats (mashed potatoes , chorizo and fried egg ) are just...I’ve no words but I know I’m coming back!!! Nice cava too! ????

It was a great experience! We were on the queue a few minutes before opening. Otherwise it's difficult to find seating. Cava and all dishes are amazing. Service is very friendly :)

Easily in my top 3 meals ever. Really hectic in the evenings, but tables free up quickly. Sit down, get a bottle of wine and enjoy as much food as you can handle. Chorizo tortilla is to die for.

It's official. This is one of the top 5 tapas bars in the world. They focus on top ingredients so most items are amazing. To close, get the desert plate w Moscatel

Everything is amazing here. The wine , the cheese stuffed peppers , dried tomatoes , octopus , the bread , and more. We arrived 10 min early. By the time it opened there were easily 30 people waiting.

Best tapas in town . Also a historic place in El Born. Do not fear lines outside, wait for your table ordering a ???? try Catalonian pasta ???? . Seems italian dish but here it is served differently ????????

Must go place for tapas , always crowded but worth it! Order a bottle of their house Cava and definitely try the "huevos ferrats" (photo) personal favorite -mashed potatoes , chorizo and egg on top ????

Wait for a table, get a bottle of house champagne , and order wave after wave of tapas . Squid with ratatouille was especially good. Dessert is homemade cookies with a shot of amaretto . An amazing place

We got a table quickly but the place was packed minutes later. The cooked pork is amazing (we ended up getting 2 orders). The waiter poured us cava without our consent, but no regrets it was delicious

Be ready to wait for the table 10-15 mins. Also very crowded , so you'll need to eat fast. But the place is very authentic and tapas are great! Would recommend it for quick Spanish food experience ????

perfecto! we loved everything we ate! home made champagne is to die for.. squid was delicious, tomatoe bread and i dont know the exact name but potaoes with cheese and bacon on top was yum????

Great tapas place . Turists know it, but quite a lot of locals there too. Order 5-6 different plates for two and enjoy. We had olives , anchovies are a must, squid and sliced beef too.

Always at the top of the list when people are talking about authentic tapas bars in Barcelona. And it is without any doubt a place to come to, to enjoy tapas the traditional way

We had the best time here! The calamari and peppers were amazing! A bit loud and hectic but I just guess that is a part of the tapas environment. I will always recommend this place.

Delicious food and I loved the staff ! One of the girls just took us all in from the queue outside “when there’s line outside the bar’s not full, so let’s make the bar full” ????????????

Very friendly and fun place. Everything was delicious, especially fried and stuffed calamari was perfect. Beer ıs good and servise is very fast. May be the best tapas bar in town

Best tapas experience in Barcelona. Authentic flavours, nice ambience, friendly staff . Try the house cava , sardines, steak , and as much as you can basically. You will not be disappointed.

Everything is awesome. Just ger there and order two rose wine cups the mixed sausage platter and a cheese platter , to anyone who looks at you first. Great experience!

Very authentic place with great selection of tapas and cavas . The friendly service won’t let you get dry of it. Gets busy early. Not as cheap as it used to be.

Perfect place to start or continue your evening (or morning;)) Tasty tapas , super tasty champange Xampanyet! Eat and drink as much as you can. Stay ouside, meet new people, share bottle with others :)

One of the best if not the best place I've eaten in Barcelona. Awesome food like the tortillas chorizo and much more. Awesome drinks. Awesome staff who cheer when they get a tip. Atmosphere is great

Awesome place for tapas ! Touristy & yet authentic ! Trendy but locals are around as well ! Take your time & wait for table definitely worth it! 8/10

Said to be some of the best tapas in town . We were lucky enough to snag a table right when Xampanyet opened after siesta and it was fantastic: delicious food, good beer , an excellent house Cava .

One of the best meals of my life. Had 5 glasses of the house cava , multiple fish dishes , roasted eggplant-tomato perfection, little clams in salted butter , and a cheese AND cured meat plate. Amazing.

This place was fantastic. This place gets full quickly so come early or be prepared to wait a little bit. We had the chefs selection and everything was great. Get the dessert and the house cava .

place is not very small but always packed, worth to wait for a table. majority of the crowd is tourists but also recommended as one of the best by the locals. go wild with their taps and homemade wine

For me, best tapas place in Barcelona. Relatively cheap , but very tasty. Small place, but it was exactly like I expected from tapas bar in Spain. Small glass of cava and few bites at the bar !

Fantastic food! Authentic Third generation owned place packed every night in el Born near the Picasso museum . Cod with chickpeas , grilled calamari , cheese platter , anchovies .

Must have house made sparkling wine (xampanyet). Food and wait staff sensational. Packed place, worth ANY wait. Just find a corner, grab a drink, and start ordering. 3rd trip to barca. Best place yet!

Amazing anchovies (have with bread ), grilled calamari , beef with peppers , pulpo and tortilla con bacalao. Excellent cava too.

Must see/try! They make their own cava ! Tapas are very fresh, just tell the waiter what you usually like to eat-she will bring a few dishes, and you'll like them all. Prepare to wait and stand

Lovely tapas , very lively atmosphere , crowded but still comfortable . And amazing vino tinto de la casa. Calamares a la plancha were amazing!

Calamari with pesto sauce and aubergine was amazing. Delicious bread and anchovies filled olives . Great quality and very good prices and good service . It is worth to wait for a table.

A local tapas bar . Delicious! A lot of locals come to eat here and it definitely means a lot. Very fresh and very delicious! Do not miss!

Holy moly, this place is amazing. Get a table and just tell them you want to try everything, they will just bring it to you. They do a home made 7 Euro Cava , that goes down little too well .

Excellent old style tapas bar with traditional dishes such as bacalao omelette , chick peas with chorizo/morcilla, caillots etc. Well worth a visit

Best authentic and affordable tapas . Make sure to tell the person behind the bar your name and how many people are in your party. Get bottles of cava :)

you're lucky to find a table but you can eat standing before the counter. traditional spanish tapas , very cosy and extremely delicious, kind of expensive though!

super small and crowded , but the food is delicious. get there early to beat the crowds! the house cava , chorizo , jamón , and goat cheese stuffed peppers are must-trys.

one of Barcelona's prettiest taverns, with marble-topped tables and walls decorated with colorful ceramic tiles. don't miss the pa amb tomaquet (toasted bread with squeezed tomato and olive oil ).

Brilliant. Although this place would be stuffed 24h they close in the afternoon. At 19.00 they re-open and 19.01 everyone is drinking and eating. Quick service , nice food. Don't forget the cava

Squid , chickpeas , and jamon were truly amazing. Best vibe. Come early or be patient for a table, it is worth it!

Don’t skip out on the place while visiting Barca for the mildly chaotic yet perfect ambiance, free flowing cava and briny dishes galore. We’ll worth a wait in the line outside!

Awesome place! Very good food.. do not miss the calamari ! Pair it with a bottle of Xampanyet! And you are set! Expect to wait..

Such a great atmosphere! Fast, hectic. Delicious tapas and cold beer . For a crazy place, they manage to serve quickly. They also miscalculated our bill but realized it and apologised deeply.

Always crowded , leave your name to waiter/desk if you want a table. House Cava is good and cheap , service efficient. You should visit this place for their atmosphere.
