    Manchego con membrillo y crostini
    Stephanie S.

    I was here in April and the food was out of this world. I have eaten in many Tapaceria in Spain and even at Jose Andres Jaleo in DC and they know what they're doing here. The food was so good that we ordered double of our first orders. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. I would eat here again if I was in the area.

    A cute venue- a multi-sided bar, cozy dining room, and additional upstairs levels. It has a great patio where I sat (sort of isolated from street level, which is preferable in an urban setting). There's lunch specials and quite a decent bar menu. Standouts were the option for a half-paella of the day for lunch (batch-made obviously) and a sleeper dessert that was one of the best I've had (flan and ice cream), a mere $6 add-on to your lunch special. Incentive to indulge! Croquettas were less interesting and the paella isn't as intensely flavored as typical in Spain, but here in Atlanta entirely decent. This section of the city near the Federal Reserve has quite a few interesting dining options. I liked Bulla's open design. Lots of green space nearby and decent sidewalks for walking around after your meal.

    Huevos Bravos

    My best friend and I were in town for a music festival and ended up at Bulla Gastrobar after our original brunch spot was too crowded. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Charles, who was incredible. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and made the experience easy and fun from start to finish. I ordered Montaditos de Salmon, Huevos Bravos, and the Torrija for dessert from Prix Fixe menu. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor! The bottomless mimosas and sangrias were a perfect touch. The passion fruit mimosa was great, but the beer sangria was shockingly good...and I'm not a beer drinker. Even with what looked like a busy bar and fewer hands than usual, Charles managed it all with ease and kept the vibe upbeat the whole time. The manager also came by to check in, which was a nice personal touch. All around, a 10/10 brunch! Great food, great drinks, and top-notch service.

    HH till 6:30 Food options and yummy cocktails special for HH. We loved the steak on toasted bread with shishito peppers. The chicken skewer was juicy and tender, but was lowkey salty. The garlic shrimp was unbearably salty, we had to send it back.

    Bulla Gastrobar sits on a lively street and definitely has the quality of food that makes it stand out. I came here for a bottomless brunch and although we arrived near the end of the allotted time, our waiter took great care of us and made sure we had several drinks. That type of service makes me want to come back. In additional to the service, the food here is awesome. I did a three course brunch which came with a pork hash, a flatbread, and dessert. The portions are decent and didn't have room to eat much more afterward. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

    Paella Mixta

    I have referred/ brought so many business lunches here! The salmon with the cream sauce is absolutely amazing and never dry. The tuna tartare is so fresh and cool which just hits the spot on a hot summer day. Their two for $15 tapas deal is great for sharing and allows you to sample a good portion of the menu. All the wine is stellar. Staff is usually pretty friendly and helpful but we did have a server once who was pretty rude. I let the manager know and they took over for the rest of the time we were there so it was pretty reactive. Love that! It saved what would have otherwise been a terrible time. I'll still recommend this spot for business lunches or nice chill spot before a show at the fox or something nearby

    Very good tapas place in midtown Atlanta! I came here for lunch with a friend, and we both ordered the lunch specials menu. Service overall was a little slow. It is $17 for an appetizer and entree option, with additional costs for form upgraded entrees. I got the salmon carpaccio and chicken paella bowl (+$3). The salmon carpaccio was fresh, but a little too much dressing for me. The paella was really good, although a little salty. Overall, this was a great restaurant and I would love to come back and try some more tapas.

    Super cute little tapas place! This was such a vibe for happy hour, they had several affordable food and drink specials. Their steak montaditos were probably my fave, along with their pintxo de pollo. You also can't go wrong with their patatas bravas. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some cosmos and our server was very attentive, food kept coming out fresh and perfectly portioned. Definitely come for happy hour! We probably had about 3-4 cocktails each and like 7 apps all for a bill.

    Paella Mixta

    Our server Milton was great! He was very attentive. The food was incredible with the paella being the highlight! The indoor bar was also a great vibe to grab a cocktail before gabbing seated. We came for a birthday and felt throughly celebrated!

    Bulla Gastrobar was a great accidental find. After spending the day at Truist Park I wanted to find a tasty dinner. Bulla didn't disappoint. I sat at the bar and was well attended to by the staff, including a couple visits by the GM. I was lucky to arrive during happy hour and tried the sautéed garlic shrimp...wow! Super tasty! I also had the Manchego & Serrano plate and the Patatas Bravas. This potato dish was the star of the show. Unfortunately, they were out of beer, which forced me to try some cocktails. The French 75 was classic, refreshing and expertly crafted. As a gin lover, I decided to also try the Proper Gin & Tonic. Wow! A great combination of a floral gin with star anise and juniper berries. I wish I could have enjoyed more than one. My next visit to ATL will definitely include a stop at Bulla!

    Happy hour menu
    Lauren R.

    Recently went to the happy hour with some friends. There's a food and drink menu specifically for bar area. We tried the grilled chicken skewer, smoked salmon montaditos, steak montaditos, tuna tartare wonton crisps, truffle fries and ham croquettes (not pictured). Overall food was good, portions are small bites for happy hour. The bartender was helpful with the Hh menu. We tried the French 75 and lady killer cosmo. He was willing to help me make drinks skinny. We were there 3-4:45 on a Friday. It wasn't busy during that time. We found metered parking on the street but they will validate parking for you in the garage if there's parking available. Overall would return for a meetup with a friend for happy hour.

    Manchego with toast, nuts and fig or guava jelly or paste. Lovely!
    Elizabeth S.

    Not only was this one of the best tapas restaurants I've ever experienced, but our dinner at Bulla was one of the best meals I've ever had. Before I get to the food, MAJOR props to our wonderful server, Ilyeana, who had awesome recommendations and helped us make great choices -- and the perfect number so we still had room to share dessert. Thank you! Here are the dishes we had: 1. A lovely manchego, which came with small toasts, nuts and what I think was guava or fig paste. Whatever it was, it complimented the manchego perfectly! 2. Albondingas. Light, airy, but super flavorful meatballs in sauce. 3. Patatas bravas. You may be thinking, "I've had these before at other places." Well, you haven't had them HERE. Highly, highly recommend -- and the sauce has a nice kick to it. 4. Ham croquettes -- Again, LIGHT. I usually steer away from croquettes when I get tapas because they feel so heavy; these were delicious and again, light. 5. Chicken Fideua -- Oh my goodness, YUM. It's like Spanish pad thai, but totally different taste. Rice noodles with tender chicken, spices (flavorful, not hot), chickpeas and, well, unicorn dust, I think. SO GOOD. 6. SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST: Chorizo Stuffed Dates -- EHRMAGERD. They were roasted or seared or something magical -- one of the most delicious appetizers/small plates I've ever experienced! (By the way, we were three people in total, and this was perfect for us). As I mentioned, we had room for dessert -- so we shared a coconut flan and an oreo cheesecake. They were both good, but I LOVED the cheesecake. You know how cheesecake can be dense and heavy? Again -- the theme of this restaurant is LIGHT and FLAVORFUL. Once again -- the best Oreo cheesecake I've ever had. We were only in town for a few days and had hoped to return -- but we didn't get back this trip. But when I'm in Atlanta again, I definitely will make it back to Bulla -- and in the meantime, plan to review where the other locations are to see if I can make it to another location in the meantime!

    Pimentos de padron (grilled shishito peppers)
    Leyang Z.

    The Spanish restaurant that I go to most frequently in Atlanta. The restaurant offers lunch and dinners, with different menus. Have been there for quite a few times. The lunch was good and really worth the price. At $17 I get a big bowl of delicious butternut soup (seasonal dish) and a personal size paella. For dinner, I have tried quite a few dishes like the chicken paella, grilled shishito peppers, Pollo Al Chillindron (chicken stewed in red pepper sauce), Mallorcan style lamb, chicken fideua, etc. The shishito peppers dish is a must-order. The seasonal dish Mallorcan style lamb is also very creative and tasty. However, their paella could be less salty. Besides, service is just Okay. Sometimes it is too slow. The good thing is that you can scan a QR code to make the payment.

The location was VERY busy, almost difficult to walk through with the amount of people standing around waiting to get sat, but just wish it would have been a quicker turnaround time, especially with the reservation being booked. Now onto the good! Our server and server assistant Mitch were both lovely. Mitch came by frequently to take our order and check up on us. The food and drinks were INCREDIBLE! We got the some tapas, including potatoes, croquettes, empanadas, tomatoes and meatballs and everything was top tier. Quite an affordable night out if you end up sharing a bunch of dishes. The white sangria was also amazing. Very floral but in a not over powering way. We ended up choosing street parking a street down and were able to walk right to the restaurant with no issues. Would definitely love to give this place another try as it seems very promising but maybe on a less busy night.

It's a great place to hang out for the day, and Bar.bacoa is a good choice if you have 3 people or less in your party. The group size is about maximizing the value you get here. The portion sizes are small for tapas. The paella was $24 but would be hard-pressed to feed just two people. The ham and cheese empanadas were $12 and came with two empanadas. These rates aren't bad for tapas if your group is small, but any group larger than 3 is going to start losing on the value-to-price ratio. When it comes to the tacos, they're $6 each for tacos that are not new or outstanding, so I would lean on the tapas instead.

The staff were friendly and familiar with the dishes and kitchen. The vibe was darker than most restaurants, perhaps good for dating but I would prefer a brighter dining room since I want to take photos of the dishes! I have been there twice and tried the following dishes: 1. Carrilleras. Braised beef cheek with seasonally changing vegetables. My "version" was served with parsnip puree. The cheek was very tender and meaty, the sauce was thick and flavorful, and the puree was rich and creamy. One of the best tapas I have ever tried. 2. Crudo. The version I had was erved with thinly sliced pickled butternut squash, herbs and orange infused oil. The flavor was savory, and slightly sweet and sour. The seared tuna was tender. Creative and tasty. 3. Smoked carrots. The version I had was served with orange yogurt and topped with pepper relish. It had both red and purple carrots, which provided different flavors. I also liked the idea of pairing creamy yogurt with the sweet & crunchy carrots. 4. Grilled oysters. Served with diced piquillo & onions over grilled Pan Cristal pieces. Savory and slightly sweet & sour. 5. Cordero. Grilled lamb chops served with harrissa, eggplant escabeche and smoked tomato puree. They grilled the chops, sliced the meat from the bone, then grilled the bone again, so that the sliced meat was quite tender, while the meat on the bone was quite crispy. The smoked tomato puree was smoky and paired well with the chops. The eggplant added some freshness to the dish. Plus, I really like the plating of this dish. 6. Grilled Branzino. This dish was priced by weight. About 1lb so shareable for two. The fish was butterflied and grilled until the skin (and even bones) were quite crispy. The sauce was refreshing and delicious as well. 7. Arroz Cremoso. Similar to risotto. At first it was too salty for me; my server asked the kitchen to remake it and the second one was good. The version I had contained three kinds of mushrooms, plus some broccolini, which made every bite surprising and exciting. Overall highly recommended. I will definitely return to try more dishes!

The staff as soon as we walked were all smiles they must love it here. I recommend it for a quiet conversations with a small group. I sat in a sunny corner and ordered the whole bird meal for two with cabbage. Our drinks were ice tea (bottled) and the Ananas Jaibol (bourbon pineapple). I am a big fan of sofrito so the cabbage was delicious. The appetizer they serve you with popcorn and roasted chickpea was a wild combination but divine. I've tasted roasted chicken before and this did not disappoint. But the fries were cut in a way I haven't experience. It made them fluffy like a wedge but still crispy. Dip them in the aioli it's everything. Of course I'll be back again. There is no reason not to revisit. See you soon.

    I'm a huge fan of Spanish cuisine from the limited times I've tried it, which have mainly come in…read moretapas form. Seeing this relatively new restaurant open up at PCM excited me as they were offering Spanish-style chicken. Not sure if it they rotisserie style or baked but either way it's very flavorful. The first time I went they were offering a lunch special of a quarter chicken and fries. It was awesome and their fries are different from your typical style as these are crispy, yet fluffy wedges. The second time I visited, they were no longer offering that special so I settled for a chicken sandwich which was very good. The sandwich is on focaccia which is my favorite type of bread. It's definitely worth trying amongst the sea of options at Ponce City Market.

    Order: Pinot, chicken, lettuce, wrapped, mussels, blackjack, wings, edamame, octopus…read more Pros: the ambience and vibe was amazing. Food was great, hot and fresh. Nothing was sent back. Everything was eaten. My favorite was probably the edamame whatever sauce they cook that them things over the moon! A plus plus was that the parking was free in the garage with the validation. Came here with friends, but definitely a great date spot. Oh, and our server was amazing. There was three of us who came for happy hour. Cons: n/a

    So I've been looking at this spot since it opened and I actually finally made it. Because of what…read moreit is, you have to worry about parking and it's not free to park but actually kind of is free. You have to worry about validating because they do validate so just keep that in mind. You'll park in the structure and then walk over to the restaurant but at that point you'll be able to get a validation code. Validation code will get something sent to your phone and you'll use it to negate the parking. Coming in the service was pretty good. Last time I went in it was actually pretty quiet and nobody was there so I got all the servers and bartenders to myself lol. But seriously everybody was super nice and really friendly and explained the menu very well and no complaints about that See you space cowboy - This was a pretty good and very balanced drink. I wanted something with bourbon in it so this is what I came up with from looking at the menu. Pretty solid and not overpowering at all. Salt and pepper shrimp - the salt and pepper shrimp was the star of the show to me as far as the appetizers that I had. It came with five of them but I could probably have eaten 25 of those joints. They were amazing. Out of the appetizers that I had, they were the best ones and they actually came pretty large. It's not like you got little baby shrimp. These were impactful, powerful shrimp that packed a heck of a flavor. I would 200% get these again and maybe I might get three orders of them by myself lol. Soft shell crab - the crab was good but the crab itself was only okay but the sauce in the bowl of the crab actually carried it. It's not a bad thing, but at the same time by itself it was only okay but the sauce definitely added a little extra to it. Grilled Octopus - the octopus was pretty good but at the same time it was a little more chewy than I would've liked it to be. It wasn't impossibly chewy. It was actually still pretty good. The thing that made the octopus actually pop was the sauce that came with it. The sauce was like a chili-lime sauce and that actually carried the dish itself. Without that it would've just been okay but the sauce definitely helped. The sauce went well with a couple of things actually . But I'll still order doctors again. It was actually pretty decent. Bangkok Hot fries - the fries are actually good. They had a a spice to them. That was a kick in the face but also citrusy as well. So you got a little bit of heat and citrus at the same time. They came out really good. Hot fresh and that would have been really good on a burger LOL Overall, it smells pretty good if you want small plates. This is a spot to go to now. They do have regular and large size portions, but that's not this place's bag, which is okay. If you're in the business of just trying a bunch of stuff, this is a good spot to go to because they actually have a combo where you can get a few things off of the small place menu to try and share. This is a good spot if you just want to stop in somewhere to try a few Asian dishes.
