Wow, what's not to love. This was a must-do destination for our trip that I had been eyeing for several weeks beforehand. Every good thing you see or hear about this place, it's probably all true. Having went to Casa Lolea several times on our trip, I'd say get here early and come at least twice to try everything! The Goods: Everything! Food was so delicious. There was nothing that I wouldn't order again. For the craftiness and quality of the tapas, I felt everything was well worth it. Cute place, great vibes, and simply the best Tapas I've ever had. The Spanish Tortilla is an absolute must but the same can be said for several dishes and the Sangria. I highly recommend trying the Cava here as well, because when in Spain right...? The Not So Goods: For a visitor, it may be a a little hard to find but trust me it's well worth it. The restaurant is pretty small so if you have a large or even semi-large party, you may be in for a long wait...maybe try calling ahead. Lastly, the paying for non-bottled water is strange for me, but it's also normal in Barcelona so what can you expect. The good thing is sometimes the Sangria or wine is nearly the same price as water so indulge. Enjoy! read more

Make a damn reservation and go here. I had the specials of the day: Risotto with truffle and mini hamburger. I also had the Lola no 5 Rose sangria. The risotto was fantastic, I got a whole scoop of black truffle and mixed it into the risotto. The mini hamburger was delicious as well. This place can get very busy, so you may have some luck if you're willing to eat earlier (like 530-6) or later (post dinner time in Spain). Either way, make a reservation for when you can and enjoy this lovely establishment. read more

I have been a long time fan of Lolea Sangria in the states so when I found out there was a restaurant in Barcelona I knew we had to try it on our trip. The food was delicious we came back twice for the Patatas Bravas! The pasta fell dia is changing every day but both that we tried were spectacular. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. A must try on your holiday in the beautiful Barcelona! read more

Unarguably a cute spot for decent tapas. I would rate everything good, but not great. Some dishes missed the mark on overall flavor for us. Wonderful cocktails & sangria! Make sure to make reservations if you visit! read more

this is a marvelous tapas spot with a delightful staff and delicious wine and food. it's a small space, and busy, but didn't feel overly noisy or hectic they've got the "usual suspects" for a tapas joint but the patatas bravas hit different here and were the best we had on our trip. the truffle risotto pasta (orzo) is a MUST if it's on the specials menu and the "french toast" dessert will roll your eyes into the back of your head. sublime. read more

THE BEST MEAL!!! My two bestfriends came to visit me in Spain and I brought them here because of the great reviews I read and how good the food looked! We ended up ordering a bunch of different tapas that stuck out to us or that yelp recommended we try and we loved them all! My favorite was the burrata it was to die for!!!!! A must get!! 2nd favorite was the truffle risotto. It was rich in black truffle but sharing it among 3 others was the perfect amount for us! 3rd was the chicken skewers! They were a bit on the pricey side being they were €14 euros which was the most expensive dish we got but they were incredible. So flavorful and addicting. Could of ordered 5 more. Wish it was a little bigger in size for that price. Only came with 4 mini skewers. 4th was patatas bravas! My friends loved them! I loved them too but wish they were fried potatoes instead of like boiled. read more

The restaurant is a bit small, so definitely need to make a reservation. I saw them turn away a lot of people because the restaurant was fully booked. I understand why it's booked though! Their house made sangria was delicious, and we enjoyed their octopus salad, mini beef burger and truffle risotto. The service was ok but we had no problems really, other than needing to flag down the server. Would recommend coming with a couple friends as this is a tapas style place and you'd get to try more dishes! read more

Had to stop for a refreshing sangria and a Spain cheese appetizer. Nice, quaint and it's Lolea

Great food and margarita! We tried the salmon tartar and truffles rice, both dishes are delicious! The Spanish tortillas is also fine

Great service and ambience. Very tasty spins on traditional catalán favorites as well as more experimental, yet well executed tapas. All the sangrias are amazing. Staff are super friendly and patient. For more than 4 guests, reserve a table in the back. Best for pre-theater tapas! read more

Two Words: La Cucaracha __ Lolea has been my favorite purchase from USA for years, it was on my bucket list to go to Barcelona Casa Lolea. We made a reservation for our one year anniversary. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite stop of our trip. I saw 4 across the floor, and my husband saw 2 others during our *quick* drink and no longer celebration dinner. Sangria is amazing, best to just buy elsewhere if you're not into bugs, like me. Sadly disappointed. read more

We stumbled upon this gem last night. Food was to die for and service was friendly and on point. I highly recommend the risotto !! We've eaten all around Barcelona and I can't stop thinking about this place. read more

Absolutely one of the best meals we had in Barcelona!! Get reservations because there will be a wait, but if you can't this place is more than worth the wait time. Very cute restaurant with great service even better food. The risotto with Truffle is the stuff of dreams!! Perfectly creamy risotto with a big truffle punch. Batatas are top 5 I've ever tried and the tortilla is so creamy you won't want to share. Son ordered a mini burger and I can't tell you how great it tasted! We went back 3 times in a 10 day stay in BCN...literally every dish was great...and leave room for dessert the Torrija amazing!! read more

My son found this place online so we checked it out. We were very impressed, the place was adorable. Love the ambiance, and the tapas! The staff were friendly and the food choices were interesting and yummy. The best Rose sangria I've had and loved how they had organic wine. All the tapas especially the risotto were good. Definitely want to go back again. read more

Casa Lolea - Love the ambiance, and the tapas! The staff were friendly and the food was so good! Definitely want to go back again soon! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

I'm sure you've seen Lolea's famous red/white polka dot sangria bottles. Make reservations on their website because the restaurant is very small and always busy. Menu is tapas style. Order the patatas bravas, octopus ceviche, truffle risotto, and of course the sangria. Definitely worth a visit if you have time, but I wouldn't say it is an absolute must.

A consistent fave of ours, for the past TEN years! Never disappointed and we felt like this visit was even better than before. A bottle of No 1 sangria, risotto with black truffle, tomato bread, mini burgers, and yummy olives. Can't wait to go back! read more

I awoke from a food coma to bring you this message. Eat here. Just get here and eat as much as you can. My faves were the truffle risotto, all that dreams are made of and more! The octopus ceviche was tender and flavorful. Chorizo was out of this world. They make their own sangria and it is damn good. So much good food and so little time. Seriously considering coming back again while here for just a few days. Heavenly good food. read more

Ventured here on the recommendation of two friends. I found the sangria just okay. I got the classic, and it was almost watery or diluted in some way. Tried the risotto trufa negra and as some other reviewers noted, it was just too rich. I think there was also some confusion on my end because I never tasted that strong kick of truffle. It was rather a sort of diluted truffle paste on top instead of fresh truffle shavings. The risotto was drowning in cream and reminded me of rice pudding more or less. Also had the patatas bravas and they were also okay. Could be better on the meat eaters end. read more

Great, fast service. We were pressed for time as we only had about an hour to eat prior to our Sagrada Familia reservation time slot and we asked if they would be able to get us in and out in that time frame and they were able to. So glad we decided to dine here. Food was delicious, sangria was amazing, would definitely recommend trying this spot. read more

Casa Lolea was a Barcelona favorite. The tapas were amazing, beautifully plated with great portion sizes. However, the absolute MUST HAVE is the sangria. This sangria I promise you, is like no other. You have to try it and you are guaranteed to love it. The ambience is super trendy and cute as well. read more

Made reservations for our first night in Barcelona. Very cute table setting that had a small chalkboard with my name on it. Sangria (3/5): average, comes in a nice bottle though. Black Truffle Risotto (4/5): good but extremely rich, so may be best to share this. Tomato Bread (2/5): wasn't really a fan of the do it yourself style dish. Patatas Bravas (4/5): pretty good. Overall it was a good meal, not as good as I was expecting but not bad for the first night of the trip. read more

This was a great find in Barcelona! We had reservations as the restaurant is smaller. Tables are close together so we made friends with a Belgian couple next to us. It added to the entire experience! Casa Lolea has their own sangria line they sell (you can also find it in the states). I enjoyed a glass and thought it had great flavor! We mainly ordered an assortment of montaditos as a snack after a shopping trip. Each one was different in flavor and absolutely wonderful. My favorite was the one with brie. Definitely recommend stopping by. read more

Exceptional food!! This restaurant was one of the best meals we had in Barcelona. If you don't try the risotto with black truffle you are making a huge mistake. The octopus ceviche was so tender and well done. My boyfriend and I were amazed by the patatas bravas as well and the Iberian ham was delicious! The steak tartar was good but maybe not the best I had ever had (it was still delicious though). You also HAVE to get the sangria here! They make it in house and it's delicious. We got sangria#1 which is just the traditional sangria with cinnamon and red wine. It was so flavorful that we bought another bottle to take home with us to drink later at night (only 8 euros!!!!!!). It went really nicely with the meal and we were so glad that we found this place. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona. It was opened on a Sunday which was great because I know a lot of places tend to close on Sundays. Overall, a wonderful meal and great service. read more

Cute and yummy. We had great tapas. Drinks were great too. Staff was wonderful. Checking in on us. Was a lovely spot for lunch

The best tapas we had in Barcelona! We wanted to eat here one night, but they were completely booked. We made a reservation for the next day(at 5:30pm because that was the only time they had) online. The wait was worth it. The patatas bravas were the highlight of our meal. They melted in our mouths and were coated in a delicious tomato based cream sauce. The salmon tartar was also very good. It was served with a generous amount of bread and avocado. We also had the special of the day, which was a truffle risotto. It was incredibly creamy and rich. We had a white and red sangria as well. Both were refreshing and I loved the bubbly-ness of the drink. I wish I could go back to this place again, and I definitely will if I'm ever in the area. Despite the fame of this place, the prices were reasonable, too! read more

Casa Lolea - Salmon tartar - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

We were in Barcelona for 10 days and tried alot of vermuth. This places house made Vermuth was the best. White vermuth in states is no good but I saw on YouTube that Spain makes there own dark Vermuth. In the Catalonia region it's supposed to be the best. So I tried it and I really liked it. They give you a small cup with an olive and a orange slice in it. So it was weird at first. But the olive was delicious and so was the vermuth. Basically a fruity wine with kind of a spiced cake type of flavor. They have a pretty good sangría too. They have different 4 kinds, we tried 3 and the second on the list was the best. The patatas bravas and Spanish tortilla were pretty good too. We came by 4 times while we were there. Like I said, I really liked that house made Vermuth. read more

This place is a mandatory visit when in Barcelona. We came across that place when walking out of our Yurbbann Passage hotel, googled the place, saw the good reviews and entered of course!!:) They have seating inside and always two tables outside. We visited them three times during our stay in Barcelona, always choosing outside seating with no reservation. We had visited plenty of other places of course but Casalolea gave us great food experience every time, we wanted to try more of their food too. You cannot try everything at once even if they are tapas :) The portions are very well sized even for small plates and they have additional daily menu in addition to their regular menu which is very nice. On top of that their wine menu is fantastic, very good prices, and the service is excellent. We always had some chat with our servers. I dont remember all the food we had but cannot say that anything was bland or not tasty, each dish was lively and delicious. Daily special Risotto with truffle cream was a blast. We loved their way of serving Patatas BRavas which is a must. We had great octopus, ceviche , tartare, beef carpacio was amazing. If you want great tapas a little bit away from crowdy center this is the place to go, no questions asked. read more

Casa Lolea is my wife and I's favorite tapas bar in Barcelona FOOD (5/5): Everything here was incredible. There are daily specials that depend on what is in season. They are known for their truffle Risotto and potatoes bravas. My personal favorite dishes include the octopus ceviche, tuna tartar, all of their individual bites (toast with various toppings), and their sangria. For two people, it is recommended to order around 4 tapas (the small bites count as 0.5). For red sangria, their #4 (Grenache based) is my favorite. SERVICE (5/5): Very friendly and prompt service. ATMOSPHERE (4.5/5): Inside seating only. It is best to get a reservation if possible. Expect to wait for a table if you come during prime hours. Overall, Casa Lolea is an excellent restaurant to check out during your time in Barcelona. read more

Absolutely delicious! Must try the patatas bravas, the sangria, and the risotto! The customer service was amazing and they made great recommendations. Will be going again next time I am in barcelona. Although the tables were a bit close together, overall vibe was cozy read more

If you ever stay in Barcelona, go to this restaurant. The food is so good and genuinely one of my favorite places here.

This place is the cutest! I was able to make a reservation for 8:00 pm this evening, just 45 minutes in advance, and the staff had my name on a chalkboard attached to a (presumably empty) bottle of sangria holding my table when I walked in. My parents and I split 7 dishes and a glass of sangria. We had the patatas bravas, salmon pancakes, coca bread (a sort of DIY bread with tomatoes and garlic), acorn-fed Iberian ham, truffle risotto, octopus ceviche, and sea bass ceviche. Everything was great--the truffle risotto was especially delicious--and the glass of sangria was giant. I would have personally loved to have seen more hot seafood options, but it was such a wonderful dinner nonetheless. This spot is absolutely worth checking out if you're in the area! read more
