Honestly, this was a fantastic tapas spot. Decently priced and EXCELLENT food. We got (and completely recommend) the papas bravas, the octopus/meatball dish, and the eggplant and honey. The service was quick and attentive, the vibe is fun and fresh, and the sangria is probably the best we've had on Las Rambla. If you're staying at the Le Meridien like we were it's a no brainer. read more

This was absolutely amazing. Even when the store was packed we got service in under five minutes. The staff is so nice, I came to Barcelona and this is a must they have everything. Not to mention the food was fire If you are ever in Barcelona this is a must. read more

Absolutely the best dining experience we had while in Barcelona. AMBIENCE: First of all, the place is chic - chic in that new-age meets mid-century modern, 2014 takes on streamlined simplicity sort of way. Teak two party tables, sleek metal bars, and perfectly selected music (something like RJD2) all melt together to create the perfect ambience/atmosphere (at least to me). SERVICE: Although our waiter was new (it literally was his second day....who starts a waiter on a Friday night?!?), the service was still excellent. He flubbed our drink once, but quickly came to correct his mistake and promptly brought us new beverages. They even changed my mojito for me, just because I'm cheap and don't want a ton of ice (more drankkk pleaseee). Our waiter was sweet and friendly, as was everyone who served us. FOOD: The food was DIVINE - asparagus tempura (tapas) is amazinggggggggggg. We, being the greedy heathens we are, ordered like two extra orders of it. The Spinach salad (light dish) with blue cheese, apple, and bacon too, is perfectly blended. It's just...ugh. Delicious. I ordered the veal, which was quite interesting, as the mustard almost had a horseradish kick to it. All the meats in Spain are delicious (to me), so I was quite please (although it was a bit too heavy for me. Should have gone with the chicken or duck). DRINKS: Mad good. Enough said. We had an amazing night here. This place seriously became a highlight for me - good food, good drinks, great restaurant, good friends/company, and great weather - and Paige is a happy girl! read more

I had to get over myself and resign to the fact that European service just cannot be compared with American service, before I could write a satisfactory review. Everything about Lobo was excellent, except the terrible reception and service we initially got. We were greeted upon entering the premise by a server who even told us where to sit, and then disappeared for a good amount of time. My courageous friend got up twice to fetch us food and drink menus, and there were two other American diners sitting two tables away from us who quipped, "yeah, serve yourselves." After another while, the couple sitting next to us got up and left. It wasn't until then that we realized they had been sitting there, ignored, until they just decided to leave since their table was empty the whole time. All in all, not an auspicious start to a good dinner. After we finally got someone who came over to take our order, everything went smoothly from there. The cava sangria was great, and we shared champiñones fritos and patatas bravas as starters. The mushrooms were excellent, but after our respective main courses we just could not finish them. My arroz a la marinera had a good portion and a generous amount of seafood; it also did not take forever despite the 20-minute warning on the menu. Lobo has a good ambiance that's modern and sleek; it's also rather expansive and located in a good area, but not too overwhelmed with swarms of people passing by since it's a block off la Rambla. The large windows also provide good views for the street. There's a bar in the center of the place, I assume good for grabbing drinks on a casual night. I would come back, but I'll be ready to brace for the Spanish style service I may initially receive, again. read more

This place is a gem. Most restaurants near Las Ramblas are tourist traps, but this corner tapas restaurant is the real deal. Some of the best tapas, Iberian ham, and drinks in BCN. What's great is there are traditional tapas but also new fusion ones like tuna tataki and asparagus tempura. If you like grilled calamari, the octopus was AMAZING. So get a fresh take on tapas with high quality ingredients. The windows make this place bright and fun to people watch too. The service is friendly and excellent too. Highly recommend Bar Lobos! read more

Excellent spot for a lovely dinner off Las Ramblas. Food is high quality. Service quick (actually!) and professional. Street entertainers constantly rotate through the night if you are eating outside. read more

Bar Lobo - Tuna tataki, goat cheese salad, meatballs with calamari, fried little fish. - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

This restaurant was located across the street from my hotel.i stopped by for dinner twice wine it was very convenient and was not a tourist trap along La Rambla. The food and service was very good. I rated as 3 stars simply because I had as good, if not better food for a lower price within a 10 minute walk of Lobo. One added benefit was that I was close enough to pull a wi-fi signal from my hotel. Very helpful when trying to post several pictures to Instagram using my international data plan. read more

The tapas were good but service was poor. The waiter was rude, seemed to want to pawn us off on his manager who also had to tell him to serve us. We are not fluent in Spanish but we try to be good guests in any country we visit and speak as much as we can. Apparently this was not good enough for this young man and he was truly unprofessional and we will not come back and will not recommend. read more

Trendy/lively vibe. The food especially the tuna was delicious! Servers were a bit slow, but I think it was due to how busy the place was. Perfect spot for a date or a night on the town with friends. Don't be fooled by the location, not touristy. read more

Found this tapas bar on yelp and looks promising. Once we got there, we were greeted right away and we requested to sit outside since it wasn't cold. Plus there was a live music. The food are pretty good, different varieties of beers and wine, service is pretty decent. Definitely a nice spot to chill and get some tapas! read more

Bar Lobo - Tapas! And the famos padron peppers! Yums. - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

We came here for snacks because the places we really wanted to go around the corner was closed 15 minutes earlier. The maitre'd set us down quickly and we proceeded with to order. The problem was that they handed us water glasses that was severely chipped. You know the kind that would cut your lip in half should you be so unfortunate not to see it before drinking. We couldn't flag down a waiter and when we made eye contact the waiter simply snatched the glass and disappeared into the kitchen. NO new glass, NO apologies,... NADA. ZIP. ZERO. It gets +2 stars for everything else that was decent. read more

Pros: Delicious Ambience Cons: Review your bill. My server charged bread I did not order or have. read more

Nothing special about the place, food is okay but personally I wouldn't come back here for food. Service is average at best. We had patatas, fried eggplant, squid and some veggies. All a bit too oily. The potatas had way too much aioli even for a person that usually asks for extra aioli. Save yourself for some place else. It's a trap. read more

Cute little tapas spot in the heart of Barcelona. The honey eggplant dish was something I still think about to this day. They had a nice wine and beer menu and plenty of seating for larger groups. read more

This place is overpriced. It's an ok place and the food is fine. It's a hip place for the tourists that don't know about food and will spend money without thinking. You can eat better in other places for half the money. Food comes out fast and the service is nice. The environment is great and hip. Super modern and fun. read more

Casual brunch place. Cool vibe and great choice of modern and classic tapas. This is slightly off la Rambla but not touristic. Prices are reasonable and drinks/wine variety is amazing. Make sure you finish your meal with an espresso read more

My boyfriend and I had many many meals here during our one week stay in the city. We came back for many reasons including the incredible staff, the delicious food, the outside seating, and the street entertainment--not to mention the proximity to our hotel. We almost always ordered the Galician octopus to share as an appetizer-delicious. Their green salad with goat cheese is outstanding. I often ordered the salmon "light dish" which was incredibly delicious and filling, or the chicken paillard. Their servers were very knowledgeable and honest when recommending food and beverages, and the service in general was outstanding. The restaurant itself is super cute with outside seating in a courtyard area that is often visited by various street performers--as well as pickpockets, so be warned! Don't leave your valuables unattended on on your table, it will get swiped-as our server was kind enough to inform us. Will definitely go back the next time we're in Barcelona!! read more

Spanish food is fantastic when it's good - this is one of those examples. Bar lobo truly delivers and I will tell you a good few reasons why. 1. Outside you can lounge in the couches and have a pre-cocktail, people spot and just relax. It's comfy and welcoming. 2. Ambience. Cool, roomy, light, contemporary mixed with Spanish. Yeah now I'm out of adjectives. 3. The food. We went through a good few tapas, my favorite was the wild rice with mushroom sauce, the tuna, and the octopus. Do not miss the rice! I would never think rice could be this good until I tried it at Bar Lobo. For dessert, lemon tart and chocolate cake was a tie. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, patience it turned out as well as we asked for about a million extra orders (yeah crew was hungry). We paid around 35 Euro each and then we all had drinks and so much food we could have been rolling out the restaurant. A keeper! read more

I really liked the place. It was really lively. The staff was friendly & busy. Had a nice bottle of wine, a spinach & blue cheese salad and the duck breast entree. Overall, everything was excellent. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch after touring the MACBA. I ordered a spinach salad with blue cheese, apples, pine nuts, and bacon. It was delicious! My parents ordered the tomato and cheese salad as well as the veal sirloin. They were pretty satisfied. The service was good. I only gave this three stars because it was not anything special but still satisfying. read more

1. I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO IF I COULD FOR SERVICE AND CLEANLINESS. 2. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Overlooked several times despite promised wait 5 min. 3. UNCLEAN. While waiting at the bar for seats, saw dessert/appetizer chef use an ice cream scooper in a container with mustard brown water while scooping multiple dessert orders. read more

The food is amazing here! The breakfast specials include coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. The bread with tomatoes here is divine. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice breakfast. The menu has a wide range of options so it's good to go with people who do not necessarily want only Spanish food. read more

Bar Lobo - Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Amazing service , fast and friendly. We were able to walk right in. Food was very good and affordable.

On a side street off la rambla, so not as touristy. Outside and inside seating. Great sangria, though the food is average. Seared tuna was good, nothing mind-blowing, acceptable portion for the price. Chicken fajitas were below average - flour tortillas seemed like they came straight from a grocery store. I would return with girlfriends for a couple rounds of sangria, but not for dinner. read more

Good things: -food was AMAZING! -generous portions -price was good!, not very expensive -setting is good -location is great Downside: -just a little slow service (i think it was due to busy day) -during summer you see few flies flying around :/ Overall: -i would go back again for sure! -highly recommended read more

We visited here twice on our trip and both times the food and service were great! During the first visit we had cava, jamon and asparagus with romesco. The second time we had their daily special that included a chickpea dish, fresh fish with tomato and onion, and a pineapple dessert. We both had wine and 3 courses for 27€. Staff was attentive and kind about our attempts to speak Spanish. Highly recommend! read more

Fabulous lunch spot! The tapas selection is extensive and unique. We had grilled artichoke sprinkled with chopped bacon, fried eggplant slices drizzled with honey, meatballs and squid in gravy, and hummus and fresh pita bread. I indulged in a glass of sangria, as well. We sat inside to enjoy the air conditioning near the opened door. A Spanish guitarist on the patio added to the ambiance. Perfect! read more

Great food. Last night had dinner over there: Honey fried Eggplant (great), tempura asparagus (not so good), cod carpaccio (excellent), chicken paillard with rocket salad in soy sauce (was good, except the fact it was barely warm), Cecs, with truffled sausage on toast (too greasy for me), lemon meringue (awesome) and chocolate cake (good). Food was more or less satisfying, but the staff was terrible and very rude, except for one or two waiters. Most likely not gonna go there again (thanks to rude people working there).. With nice ambient isn't enough. read more

Great decor and location....awful service and horrible attitude. One would have to ask the staff at lobo...If you hate tourists so much, why work a restaurant next to la rambla? read more

Great location just of the ramblas near the market. Very nice interior and relaxed atmosphere. Very busy during lunch, but the friendly waiter took our reservation and told up to return after a quarter of an hour, which worked for us. They serve very nice tapas (tempura asparagus) and seafood rice dishes and have a wonderful selection of cakes.. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Food 4 stars. Service 2 stars. We went here our last night in Barcelona because it was always busy and conveniently located across the street from our hotel. Our sangria was mostly juice. We waited so long for our waiter we nearly left. When we got his attention he was rude. After we ordered, the food quickly came out and was very good. I had the spinach salad and my husband had pasta with pesto that rivaled my homemade pesto! read more

Really hot day and tired on our second to last day in Barcelona. Walking up and down La Ramblas and not finding anything except for tapas and paella. Frankly we wanted something different for dinner. Happened onto Bar Lobo and there were many open tables and the menu looked great. So we decided to have dinner here out of desperation. WOW! What a great dinner we had. We ordered duck breast (perfectly cooked) Lobo burgers, Spanish tomatoes (very fresh) and spinach blue cheese salad. ALL great and delicious! So good we went back the next night as well. Ordered the mussels in cream sauce, meatballs and squid, rigatoni pasta and veal sirloin. Pasta portion was a bit small but very tasty. Veal was excellent. Their French fries are fantastic! Was not disappointed. The sangria was very nice and refreshing! My wife and I polished off the one liter pitcher. The wait staff spoke English well enough to not leave us guessing. Very prompt and courteous. A well run establishment. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service. About €70 to €80 for a family of four. Come early to avoid the rush. We arrived at around 7:00 pm and were seated immediately. By 8:00 there was a line out the door. But folks just went to the bar for drinks first. I don't think they had to wait too long as they set up more tables outside. We sat inside for the air conditioning. I would come back here again when we return to Spain! read more

I love Bar Lobo! Highly recommended for tourists who want good quality food, reasonable prices and good service. The servers are friendly, the location is very good. I live in the neighborhood and visit Bar Lobo regularly. I host a lot of guests and Bar Lobo is a must for each visitor - every one of my guests has enjoyed their meals. Personally I recommend the fried eggplant (noteworthy because I'm not usually a fan of eggplant - but this is the best!), chicken wings, any of the green salads, tuna, salmon & boquerones. But honestly, you can't go wrong by ordering any of the small plates & sharing. read more

It's a bit of a rant, but here I go: Walking into this restaurant, we were told to sit ourselves down where a waiter timidly brought us a multi language menu. Afterwards, we were completely ignored for 20mins, and we had to flag him down to take our order. After he finally took our order, we were served bread without plates because the waiter simply forgot about us. The service was horrible. We were not well attended to from the moment we walked in (And no, they were not busy when we walked in and even less so when we left). Later on, the waiter that served us practically sat on me (his butt was on my shoulder even after I moved my chair away) when he was clearing away the dishes for the table besides ours. After finishing our meal, we had to wait several minutes and flag him down again to give us the bill because he did not once check on us. I'm not sure if he was just uncomfortable with foreigners, but he did not treat the natives that way; he was more attentive and remembered to bring plates to the other customers around us. I know not everyone speaks English, but my friend spoke Spanish and he ignored her just the same. But, the hamburger with mushroom sauce was good (French fries were a bit soggy) and my friend's spinach and blue cheese salad was over oiled and average by her standards. I most likely would have liked the food a lot more if the service had not put me in such a bad mood, but we were starving after walking all over the beautiful city of BCN. Tl;dr The service sucked, the burgers were good, and the salads are meh. read more

A happening place. Fun and lively. Considering its proximity to La Rambla, an amazing find. Tapas 8.5 out of 10. Service is deliberately abrupt. It's a tapas joint classed up. Make friends with your waiter, show some respect, and you'll have a wonderful time. About 60% tourists, but few dorks in shorts. read more
