Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante

I love tapas. I love Barcelona. So when I accidentally stumbled past this place on the way to my hotel from the car park, I couldn't resist but to come back for some dinner entertainment! We didn't have a booking, and feared the worst when we saw how busy it was, but the gent at the door sat us down by the bar whilst he worked out where we could sit. A few moments later we were sat on a cute two-seater, in the thick of the action. We were presented with a food and drinks menu, but having that it was our first visit, it would have been rude to pass up their famous set menu with all the trimmings. We chucked in a jamon croquettes and a pan con tomate, just for good measure. These were accompanied by a bottle of rioja (medium/light red) and pint of Estrella Galicia! The food was all very good. The standout for me was the croquettes and the tortilla (very rare that you get tortilla this good - eggs cooked just under - perfect!). The reason this got 5* (would have been a 6* if possible) was the attentive and friendly service. Turns out the friendly gent at the door was the owner, David. He was really great, gave us so much time to chat and make us feel welcome. He even sent over his sherry expert, Will, to talk us through some post meal Fino options. I had the most incredible oloroso with some cheese, just wow. I hadn't seen any of the reviews before I came here, so really surprised to see the mixed bag. I had such a good night, the vibe was unreal and the meal was delightful. Wouldn't hesitate to come back, at all. Vamos!

Serendipitous choice for a late lunch as we walked past. Excellent food and service. We ended up staying for several hours grazing on the excellent tapas. We made three separate orders for food, and the equivalent for drinks. Everything arrived speedily and with a smile. We will visit again in a more planned manner.

My secondary school and I went there to celebrate the end of year. We loved the restaurant! Quality tapas, excellent service, great atmosphere and very authentic. I am from Barcelona and I have been in other restaurants in London and nothing compare to Barcelona Tapas Bar. The event manager is also very friendly and very kind when accommodating a group of teenagers. I would 100% recommend the place to go for any occasion.
