    It's the only place we ate at twice during our trip to Barcelona...so that says a lot about how much we enjoyed it. They are a small store with a counter for ordering to go sliced meats, cheeses and other small grocery items, but also have several tables for eating in. It has the perfect quaint but comfortable vibe. The staff was so friendly and remembered us when we returned for the second time. Prices are slightly high, but worth it. They have several assorted cold tapas, sliced meats and cheeses as well as sandwiches.

    Came here twice with my sister during my recent stay in Barcelona. Everything we had was so good but our favorite was the simple jamon sandwiches. The bread was just the right amount of crisp and the jamon was so delicious! I still dream of the sandwiches back in the States. I can't remember which sandwich I liked better - the one with jamon from the shoulder or the thigh but they were all so yummy. Will definitely revisit if I am ever in Barcelona again!

    In Barcelona, my lunch of choice became the ever-present bocadillo - not too heavy, easy to find, and delicious! Most I grabbed by stopping at the first cafe that advertised them, but La Pineda stood out as well recommended, so I had to try it. Displays and displays of meat greet you upon first step into the store. My second impression was a waitress asking me if I'd like a drink - wine, cava? I opted for a rose cava. After I sat down, she brought over the cava and walked me through their extensive menu. La Pineda's specialty is an acorn-fed Iberian ham, which was some of the best I had in Barcelona. I ordered two half bocadillos - the jamon, and one with goat cheese. The bread was deliciously crusty, and the meat and cheese were generous and of such high quality. Despite the high quality, La Pineda is incredibly affordable - I think my bill came out to under 10€ for two half sandwiches and a glass of cava. The space feels incredibly authentic, but the waitress ably spoke English to me and was very patient.

    The delicious spread! We ate it all!

    Ahoy, I came here on part of a food tour. This was our first stop. I was unsure of what to expect. It is a quaint and pretty shop. I love the look and feel of the entire shop. We walked to the rear of the shop. There were the tables. We had a beautiful spread. Plates of various cheese, jamon, pan con tomate, and a few other delicious tapas. We had three types of ham. All were delicious with their own distinct taste. You cannot find great ham like this in the States. It was neat seeing the brace that holds the boar's leg from which the Ham comes from. Very fresh! I am also a fan of the various hanging meats. That is my aesthetic. Great place. I look forward to returning!

    This is our second stop at La Pineda in the past 8 months. We specifically searched out La Pineda to have lunch on our most recent stay in Barcelona, as we had such a wonderful experience during our first trip. They seriously have some of the best pan con tomate around - wonderfully crispy bread, bright tomates with a bit of olive oil to give it some depth. They also put together some amazing charcuterie and cheese plates , but we limited ourselves to just some bellota iberico ham, and chorizo with a few different types of manchego. All outstanding. Paired with some olives, and a great bottle of Rioja it made a wonderful lunch and another great experience.

    We had a wonderful lunch at this adorable shop. The olives were amazing - I asked to try all three varieties. Our favorite cheese was the truffle manchego - I will probably dream about that for days! The food is so fresh that you really can't go wrong. We paired everything with a wonderful light Rose wine that our server recommended. All in all, a fantastic meal!

    In the heart of the Gothic quarter is this tight spaced place that will have you Iberico ham heaven. Dont miss the opportunity to feast on perfection. The place is super clean and the staff is very friendly and very accommodating. They are very good at giving recommendations on Food as well as wines. Trust them , they know the best pairing for what you order

    I ADORED this place. From the outside, it looks like a hole in the wall. when you walk in you're transported into an authentic tapas restaurant. We got by just fine with English, but we noticed we were the only "tourists" inside. We did make friends with the guy at the charcuterie counter, as he let us back there to take photos with him. Another man, who seemed like a regular came over and had a 10 minute conversation with me in Spanish. Even though I don't speak or understand any Spanish. The tapas they have may not even be there the next day, but we loved the mixed seafood, artichokes, cheese, and I asked for Iberico jamon. Upside: Authentic, delicious food, friendly servers Downside: Not as many choices, don't get the pan con tomate (there's better everywhere else!)

    Meat meat and more meat. We didn't even need to look at the menu with the leg of meat starring right at us. Service was friendly and amazing as she taught us about our poor friend who we were about to eat.

This was recommended by friends awhile back, I remembered the modern ambiance, amazing Tapas, friendly service and the place was as busy then until now. For this big restaurant caliber, it's pretty crowded yet they do a good job with a fast turnaround. We did the early Dinner and by the time we got out there was already a long line for late Diners. The fact that even after a decade, it's rare that I go back to the same spot let alone they're still around after all these years. You already know that tells a lot and I feel bad for those who didn't have the same great experience, hope they give it another shot. See y'all soon! Salut, Vermouth!

    We had planned to go to a tapas place recommended by our Gaudi House tour guide (Touring Pandas…read moreguide Jekaterina who was EXCELLENT) but the joint had a line of 20+...so we chose to go to my plan B! We were happy to enter the cozy La Alcoba Azul and seated by a smiling host immediately & presented with menus. The interior looks almost like a wine cellar with brick vaulted ceilings. The offerings are best described as fusion tapas but there are a few traditional bites as well. Our waiter presented us with an amuse bouché of pumpkin hummus topped with roasted pepitas on an herbed toasted baguette crisp. DELICIOUS! We confidently ordered the tomato tartare with avocado cream, basil, olive powder and rosemary olive oil caviar as well as a half order of cured Iberican meats featuring chorizo, loin, sausage and ham, an order of the hummus with black olives, parsley, pine nuts and pita triangles. All were terrific! We especially enjoyed the meats and tomato tartare. I enjoyed a red sangria that was satisfying and happened to be topped with cinnamon...a first and welcome addition for me. La Alcoba Azul is a spot we'll keep on our tapas go to list! You shouldn't hesitate to visit.

We grabbed the only table open when we arrived at 1 on a Monday afternoon. We saw a Cava Sangria (a first) and had to try-light and delicious! They also had Majou Beer (from Malaga) on draft which is hard to find outside of Malaga so had to have one. We ordered a couple of starters and a couple of what I'd say were bigger plates. The pork belly marinated in lime was tasty but the fresh Mackerel stole the show! The Truffled eggs with foie and mushrooms was finished table-side and was amazing. We missed that the Cuttlefish had squid ink-no matter, so light and exquisite-only complaint would be to have more cuttlefish. Service was engaged and friendly from start to finish. Tapeo reminds me of some of the regional restaurants where you want to try the entire menu at once cause it all looks so good. Tapeo is now on the list of "must stops" when in Barcelona!

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.

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.

(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!
