Belmonte is the best meal I had on my month-long trip through Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian, Valencia) in a crowded field of favorites. Coming from SF and LA I am accustomed to high-caliber food. I am writing this reviews 2 years after the fact and can't recall what I had but I certainly enjoyed my meal, the ambiance and the neighborhood. Price-wise I would say it is medium to high. I highly recommend Belmonte. You won't be disappointed. ******* Belmonte es uno de los mejores restaurantes que probe durante mi estadia en Espana. Esta estadia incluyo Madrid, Barcelona, San Sebastian y Valencia. He vivido en Los Angeles y San Francisco y estamos acostumbrados a comida de alta calidad y Belmonte nos impresiono a todos. Si mi encuentro de nueve en Barcelona seguramente iria a Belmonte de nuevo. read more

This was our second stop on "The Barcelona Taste" tapas tour. I would say the best stop, because of one particular, amazing reason: the Patatons (salted baby potatoes) with Romesco sauce. OMG!!! I couldn't stop eating them. I felt bad for the others on the tapas tour because I definitely took these down. I also really enjoyed the plate of grilled vegetables. Sounds simple, but they do them right. This place also serves one of the better beers in Spain: Estrella Galicia. Do yourself a favor and sign up for "The Barcelona Taste" tapas tour. The stories about the food and owners and the company makes it that much more special. If your tour doesn't stop here, then just try it another day. read more

Belmonte - Patatons (salted baby potatoes) with Romesco sauce - Catalan Near Me - Barcelona, B

Friendly tapa place. Patatas bravas were yummy! Would go back again and try more. A few of the dishes we wanted were out so we just sampled about 4 tapas and had some vermouth ( spicy delicious local drink). read more

Hands down best tasting food in Barcelona. My family and I were here for a week and our taste buds were blown away! The duck confit was amazing paired with apples and jam. The patadas were rich and tasty (one was even eaten off the floor). The apple goat cheese salad was a perfect combination. A special they had with cabbage and Iberian bacon was delicious. For dessert, the chocolate truffles and flan topped off the perfect meal. It's a small quaint restaurant with one chef but was the true, authentic meal my family and I were searching for. The restaurants that mainly occupy Barcelona with tourist tapas and paella are nice to say you ate, but this place is where the real food is! Dreaming of this food and I am definitely coming back in the near future! read more

The most amazing food ever. And our server was gracious and sweet. If I knew the language better, I would tell you what to have. But everything was the best thing ever. From prawns to white beans to the most amazing flan I've ever eaten. The vermouth was amazing too. read more

It's been three years now, and I still dream about my meal at Belmonte. While in Spain with friends, we chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. I feel lucky that we were able to just walk in without reservations, as the food and service here is truly special. It felt like a true "local" spot, as opposed to many of the tourist places we ended up prior to this meal. I had to look back at our photos to remember what we ate here, and I don't know if these items are still on the menu, but here's our menu from the night: Patatas Bravas, Pan con Tomate, Salad with Cod, Salad with Goat Cheese and Apples, Salmon, Flan, and Chocolate Truffles. I'm drooling right now thinking about this place...hmm, when can I get back to Barcelona?? If you're in Barcelona, you owe it to yourself to eat here at least once! read more

Cozy, authentic, delicious food. Owners are true Catalan and you can brush up on your Catalan with the newspapers and magazines they have. Very much recommend while in the area. read more

Don't worry about the other Yelp reviews that say they ate here 3 years ago (I've been to tons of horrid places that were terrific three years ago) - the place is still fantastic! Maybe it's getting better with age. No question, this was my best meal in Barcelona. There's a small menu of what tapas are available today - and every single one we tried was outstanding. The tortilla was made to order (our choice was white beans and carmelized onions) and absolutely delicious. The zucchini carpaccio is probably the best preparation of zucchini I've ever tried. Service was so kind and welcoming, very unpretentious, and the pacing was flawless. We ordered everything at once, but it was served not quite in courses, but paced. This allows you to appreciate the flavors of each dish without creating a muddled mess of everything at once. Don't miss this place! read more

Yes, 5 stars cause I can't put 6 !! My daughter found this gem of a place online and we decided to take a look. At first , we were hesitant to walk in the door as this is a very unassuming place located down a random street /alley. The decor reminded me of a small restaurant in New Orleans, complete with Jazzy tunes playing. Despite the menu looking like it had been typed on the "Smith/Corona" Typewriter that I had in college, the food was by far the most amazing I have ever tasted. The appetizer we had was the Patatons (small potatoes with Romesco Sauce). So delicious that you would eat them off the floor......seriously, my daughter dropped one on the floor and almost cried, but quickly scooped it up and ate it (well within the 5 second rule !!). Same daughter ( the Carnivore) had the Duck Confit, fried perfectly so the skin was crispy. It paired perfectly with the Apple jam. My other daughter (who thinks she is a foodie) had the pan seared Goat Cheese salad with walnuts, raisins, apples ....lightly covered with balsamic vinegar. She was amazed on how well the Goat Cheese was prepared. My wife got the calamari (of course she did, she's Asian). It was labeled a "slow cooked" dish as it was prepared in the traditional manner. For me, well I am all about the pork, and one of the specials not on the Menu was "Iberian Bacon w/ cabbage, potatoes, and roasted garlic"...sounded like good old southern comfort food to me.....boy was I wrong!!!! Separately, all were very tasty (and that bacon was as salty as a good country ham), but when I spread the cabbage/potato/garlic on the toasted bread and topped it off with the bacon...WOW, I mean, DANG... I have never and I mean NEVER have I tasted something that combined all the components so well together. (So good that my toes curled up!!!) I told the Chef that for the first time in 57 years, my taste buds were alive. I think she understood that i meant that as a compliment ( I think that was better than taking off my shoes and showing her my toes !! ). For desert it was the Cheese Flan and some Chocolate Truffles...of course another home run as I don't think anything leaves that kitchen that isn't prepared perfectly!! The flan was as light as could be and the truffles were very rich. As far as cost, it was all moderately priced, I mean for a family of four we could not have gotten out of any mundane restaurant (i.e., Chilis, The O.G., Ruby Tues...etc...) in the states for less). As far as the quality of the food, don't think I could even find anything close to this here in the Red Neck Riviera... those fancy eateries in Destin, 30A, Seaside, Grayton Beach, etc...couldn't hold a candle to Belmonte's..but those eateries would certainly charge you an arm and a leg trying!! Thank You Belmonte, for showing me what fine cuisine is all about !! read more

Went here as part of a food tour and had a great meal. The tapas and the drinks were great. The wine porron was a hit. A few of us tried to some wine from the porron Catalan style with our arms "fully extended". Successfully get all of the wine in your mouth without spilling is a bit tricky. read more

The duck was delicious. Crispy skin on top of soft, succulent meat. The salad was cheese was a welcome, well thought out, vegetable that is often lacking at other restaurants that we found. The warm cheese blended perfectly with the greens and dressing. The grilled vegetables were simply seasoned vegetables. Cooked well, very tasty. The shrimp casserole was a miss-step for me. I wouldn't call it a casserole myself, more of a stir fry. Shrimp and chick peas pan fried. There was too much salt for my taste. Bread with tomato. I'd like this at every meal. Super slow service, though it seemed like the servers were a bit in over their heads with the number of people that came in for dinner. It took us quite a while to even get some wine. A quite yelp search shows that this is a spot on some tasting tour, so you might have a crowd to contend with. This was a good meal, and I would go back. I keep going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. I'll give the benefit of the doubt that the service is usually better than this. read more

Another one who went to Belmonte with the Taste of Barcelona tour. This was our 3rd and last stop, so we were all stuffed, and there was more lovely food to come. read more

We had very delicious Catalonian lunch with excellent service and amazing music! Warmly recommended! read more

Had two nights in Barcelona and we couldn't resist going here both nights. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was made with care and creativity. The patatas and duck were out of this world. For how good the food was, the prices are amazing. One of the best meals my boyfriend and I have had, we will come back to Barcelona one day just to go back to this restaurant. Waitress and the cook were very warm and friendly. It's a really great environment for dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing food and great,cozy atmosphere. I would consider this more of a home-style cooking restaurant. One of the best meals I had in Barcelona!! Everything was delicious but I especially liked the calamari! There will probably be a wait if you arrive during prime dining hours, but it's definitely worth it! read more

Pretty good little, unpretentious place with some nice, down-home Catalonian tapas. Our waitress was extremely helpful (spoke little English but understood what we were ordering and asking). Great salads. The potato appetizer was a little strange. Food came quickly and our waitress checked on us frequently. Very reasonably priced and a good selection of wines. Great place to go if you're looking for a mid-priced meal with friendly staff and good food. Very enjoyable experience. read more

This was my favorite meal I've had in all of Barcelona. Cute and cozy spot, not too crowded with tourists, and the food is incredibly fresh, flavorful and delicious. I will definitely be going back! read more

The food was absolutely fantastic! Our favorites were the Delta appetizer, the duck confit, potatoes with romesco sauce, and the flan for dessert. Basically, everything the waiter recommended was ridiculously great! read more

Excellent meal here last night. The apple, walnut and warm goats cheese salad was divine. The omelette so light. The potatoes... Yum. It was all delicious and very reasonable. Service was great. Highly recommend this unassuming restaurant if you love great food. read more

Eh. We should have known not to go in when it was empty while every other restaurant on the block was packed, but were persuaded by the positive Yelp reviews. We were told it was ok to sit at a table for aperitifs and a few tapas, but then a waitress came by and scolded us for not sitting at the bar (meanwhile, the restaurant was completely empty). We had the patacons and some sausage pinxtos. Food was fine but nothing special - that plus the unwelcoming atmosphere makes it a place definitely not worth returning to. There are so many other great options in Barcelona. read more

It was so good we went here two nights in a row while on vacation. Much care and artistry put into their dishes and also their drinks (e.g., their mosto). Try their smoky escalavida (but only if you like the Catalunyan mix of eggplant, peppers, pickles, etc). Lovely owners, lovely vibe, and they do speak a bit of English. Our favorite restaurant in Barcelona. read more

This is a terrific restaurant, the best we ate at in Barcelona. We went there first as part of a tapas tasting tour and it was so good we ate there 3 more times during the week we were in Barcelona. As others have mentioned, the owners are lovely (Merce, who runs the front of the restaurant hugged my wife when we were leaving for the last time) and the vibe is great... very relaxed and non-touristy. The patatons (potatoes) with romesco are sublime... one of the best tastes I've ever had (best eaten upside down so the romesco hits your taste buds before the salty potato skin). The escalavida (smoky grilled vegetables) was also astounding for what, like the potatoes mentioned above, is ostensibly a pretty simple dish. The tortilla with carmelized onions was also great. To drink, we had cava as well as the non-alcoholic mosto, which is basically a rich grape juice/sangria without the alcohol. A real find; highly recommended. read more
