We were definitely in a neighborhood spot for locals but they didn't seem to mind that we were tourists from America. The menu was printed in English but it had familiar items from tapas restaurants in the US. The tapas prices were reasonable for the quality of food but I wish there was a bit more on each plate as we ended up ordering doubles of some plates because we just needed a few more bites. I felt like we ordered most of the menu because either everything looked delicious or it tasted delicious. Inside the restaurant, it is very cozy and quaint and somewhat dark but many Dutch restaurants have the same ambiance. We enjoyed our meal and I would definitely return here again to enjoy some other wonderful menu items.

Lovely little place for a date in Amsterdam. The tapas were…read morenicely presented and tasted good. The tomato salad was seasoned well, and we enjoyed the burrata and avocado, though the burrata was a bit chewier I would have liked. The highlight was the octopus, it was the most tender I have ever tasted! We also got the fried sole which was seasoned and cooked just right. It was a good full portion of the fish. Prices feel a bit steep for the portions of the other dishes at €7-9 per plate.

We went here after getting in from a long flight from Chicago. It was a random decision, but one I…read moredo not regret. It was a quaint little restaurant and we sat outside even though it was chilly. The servers were extremely helpful and friendly. The food was Spanish tapas and it was some of the best food I've ever had. Chicago's tapas restaurants cannot hold a candle to this. Everything was good. I really loved the anchoa which was an anchovy toast and the berenjas which was like a crispy eggplant with mushrooms.

The food is incredible, eggplant, mushrooms, paella, good service! This is a must visit.read more

I stumbled upon this place on accident trying to get out of the cold in Amsterdam and I'm glad that I did! The aesthetic was homey but with a modern twist-I felt like I was in a family members home eating dinner. The service could have been better which was odd because it wasn't really busy. This was my first time trying true Italian pasta outside of the States and now I can't look back. I would for sure recommend this place for a chill and familiar vibe for a drink or a bite to eat.

The food served were definitely the traditional Spanish tapas. We had the pata negra jamon Iberico which were okay but was really hoping to get the acorn-fed black pig ham but they did not have it. Other dishes we tried were the pulpo (octopus), boquerones (sardines) served in olive oil and garlic, ham and codfish croquettes, bread with aioli. Total was about 46 EU. I really enjoyed the sardines and the croquettes but the other dishes were just okay. The place was very lively with scribbles of writings on the wall left by the patrons.

The server admitted it was frozen out of a bag, just reheated. Gross. He recommended the calamari "next time". We also had the Iberian ham, which came out looking like someone had hacked it with a steak knife. Tasted fine, but wtf, I doubt it was the real product. Service was fine, ambiance is cute, but the place is Spanish in name only, don't be fooled. There won't be a next time. Place is a tourist trap. Good for a quick drink and then move on.

I really wanted to enjoy this place more than I did, but the menu is very limited compared to what I have seen in other tapas restaurants. I chose the croquettes and a toasted bread with a tomato topping. Both were okay, but rather bland. In my opinion, the menu could use a revamp.

We visited Barca for drinks and it was a solid place for them. While we were in the area, we…read morestopped by here as another nearby bar was packed and couldn't find any seats. Therefore, Barca came to our rescue. Barca is a Spanish restaurant, so red wine is a must. And from what we discovered, Barca had the best prices for wine, compared to many bars we had visited. Glasses were about six bucks, US dollars, and the pours were fair. Yet, if wine isn't your thing, they do have a full bar. Many people were dining in, and what came out of the kitchen looked yummy! But the bar area that we were in was spacious and nice. Service was also very good. Glad to have found a place while traveling for glasses of malbec.
