Sidewalk cafe

Rating is primarily for the service, but the food was fabulous also. Our recommendations are Gambas ajillo (shrimp scampi), especial tortilla, queso cabra con miel (crispy goat cheese) y croquetas jamón. The sangria was also delicious!

Sangria. Patatas Bravas. Crispy Chicken.

I'm from LA visiting only 3 days. This place is across from my hotel it's always busy so we decided to try it. Amazing service first of all. And anything that comes out of the kitchen is fresh. Maybe all hospitality in Spain is amazing, I couldn't tell you in a 3 day visit, but this place is a 5 star for sure & worth a quick, or long, stop.

Dora was a great late night spot to grab a bite! My husband and I as well as some of his co-workers were staying at a hotel nearby and many of the restaurants in walking distance were closed (this is around 9PM). We we walked by Dora we were thankful that they were 1) open and 2) offered vegetarian options! Thoughts and Recommendations: - Tapas were decent! Amongst us we ordered a variety of items and we were all very happy with our choices: Pan con Tomate, Patatas Bravas (Las Bravas), Pasta Bolognese, Spinach and Tomato Penne pasta, and John Ford Burger. - Good wine! I ordered the house wine and man it was so good and cheap! Equivalent to $5 a glass. - Loved the decor in here! As we waited for our food we couldn't help but noticed the interior design at Dora. It gives off this modern-retro train station vibe. The front of the restaurant is all glass with brass metal frames, the lighting fixtures are these massive retro round orbs, booths are emerald green leather, the upholstered chairs were old-timey but in good condition, and there are beautiful large plants hanging from the ceiling. It was something like out of a movie set! So pretty in it's own way. Overall, this a solid little tapas place in the heart of Barcelona. The food and service were all pleasant but nothing that really knocked my socks off, hence the 4 stars and not 5.

This is our waiter Juan Carlos and the service was great! Food was delicious and good variety.

It was very close to our hotel and it looked very busy. Asked customers about the food they were eating and they all gave a thumbs up. We weren't disappointed because our meal was delicious! Our waiter Juan Carlos was delightful and efficient! He was adorable.

Stay away from here! Slow and poor service. Very overpriced and the food is not good. The seafood paella looked overcooked, smelled unpleasant and tasted like nothing. The 1 prawn that was in the dish was totally dried out and shriveled up. The stuffed olives tasted like old fish. The best thing about this place was the bottled beer. €42 for this meal was regretful. To say I was unhappy with this meal would be a gross understatement. Worst restaurant I've eaten at in a long time.

Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. Mushroom, steak, and egg yolk 9/10: soo flavorful and balance of veggies and protein. Amazing textures and flavors. Sparkling sangria: 8/10 I don't normally live the taste of alcohol but this was great. Not tooooo strong and if tastes pretty good if you mix it with the orange juice. Fresh orange juice: 10/10 so tangy and delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Patatas bravas: 9/10 solid no complaints! Dessert Tapas: - bread dessert (Tarija): 11/10 amazing dessert that is creamy, cameralized, and has a mochi like texture. This fried chewy dessert is not too sweet and such an affordable price. - coconut pudding 9/10 solid and refreshing if you like flan - bread, chocolate oil, salt 7/10: I live the complex flavors. The chocolate mousse was light and the bread to mousse ratio was perfect. It's a smaller dessert tho I wouldn't recommend it if ur sharing. Service: amazing! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

This is the first restaurant I stopped at for some tapas during my trip to Barcelona and it spoiled…read moreme. I ordered a few things so let me talk about each one. Ham & Chicken Croquette: This was too good for how small it was. Just a nice potato croquette filled with some great quality ham and chicken. It was akin to a cordon bleu. White Asparagus with Baby Beans and Ham: This one floored me. Tender white asparagus in a vinegar based sauce with some tender ham and beans. I could have had two orders of this. Pulpo (Octopus) with Pork Belly: Not the best Pulpo of the trip but it sure set the standard. The octopus was unbelievably tender and you can just taste how fresh it is. The pork belly slice almost felt like an odd choice here to be honest. I didn't really know how to eat it with the pulpo since it overpowered it. The pork belly itself wasn't very impressive either so I kinda brushed it off at the end. It was a bit dry at some parts and just kept throwing me off. Gambas roja a la plancha: Prawns are EVERYWHERE here and they know how to cook them. These were tasty but not the freshest or most flavorful I had this trip either. Always eat the shell! Scallops a la plancha in a leek-apple based sauce with bits of crisped ham: This dish on its own makes this place a 5. The sauce is DIVINE. It's a little sweet and creamy to contrast the savory, perfectly cooked scallops swimming in it. The crunchy bits of ham give you a nice texture surprise with some much needed salt to balance it all out. These scallops practically melted in my mouth with each bite. This is a must try. Beef filet and foie gras montadito: Basically steak and foie gras on a toasty slice of bread. Honestly? This was the weakest dish here. The steak itself was just okay and I didn't really like the foie gras. It was like a very gamey butter. I'm sure it has its applications but it just felt like too much going on here. I'd pass on it. Chocolate in 3 textures: So for dessert I wanted chocolate so I went for the choco bomb. It was okay. I guess the three textures were the ganache, mousse, and wafers? It just reminded me of an elevated chocolate wafer bar like one from Loaker. I'd also pass on this dessert. My server was lovely and the atmosphere here is vibrant. Though there were few misses I would absolutely eat here again and get the things I loved but switch up the rest. That's part of the fun in tapas anyway.

Some meals stay with you forever, and this was one of them…read more The food here was, without question, some of the best I've ever had. The foie gras was absolutely unforgettable--rich, delicate, and simply to die for. The sangria was equally exceptional, fresh, balanced, and dangerously delicious. But what makes this place truly special is something that can't be captured on a menu. The atmosphere, the warmth, the way time seems to slow down... words simply can't do it justice. If you're visiting Barcelona, don't just come here for dinner. Come here to fall in love with the food, the city, the moment, or maybe even someone sitting across the table. An experience I'll never forget.

My husband and I arrived to Barcelona late in the evening. We had read reviews that the food scene…read moreextended well into the night, so we decided that even though it was 10:30pm, we would still walk over to Tapeo and see if we had any luck getting seating. Well, the restaurant was cute and cozy with a great ambiance. With luck on our side, we found two seats at the bar and quickly ordered drinks. We ordered a pitcher of the sangria (because why not?). The sangria was delicious, refreshing, and made to order. It was definitely more authentic than what we're getting in America. We ordered the patatas bravas, tempura asparagus, the octopus, and the steak. It all came out as it became available. We couldn't decide what our favorite was, to be honest. We ordered an ice cream sandwich for dessert and quickly requested our bill. We didn't want to hold the staff up as we noticed they were cleaning the establishment and people were finishing up. Overall, what a great experience for our first meal in Barcelona! Cute and hidden gem.

Walking from Barceloneta Beach, I stumbled upon Pasa Tapas and lured in by a very affordable menu…read moredel dia at lunch. Alas it was pretty average but you do have a variety of options and it came with wine which was a nice bonus. Started with some fideuá but found this paella noodle dish a little one note. Ironically the fried whole fishes, which didn't look very appetizing, were surprisingly decent. Crispy fried and served next to some refreshing salad. A simple flan rounds out the meal on a sweet note. Mostly locals inside. Not a destination stop per se but good value at lunch if you happen to be walking by.

Did not enjoy my experience at all, if not even ruined my experience with great paella!…read more Disclaimer: I went to this place as part of a Sandeman tapas tour. (Was absolute rubbish and waste of time) The service: minimal Food: Below average paella Portion: I have had bigger tapas for babies Drinks: I have no idea what was served. Some form of watered down alco that's neither here nor there All in all, not a good experience at all. Agree I went with Sandeman so part to blame would be them. But my view is that if you love food, care about your customers, love your business; then care for your brand and don't join crappy partnerships. And if you plan to do that; suck it up and serve proper food!
