Ordered sangria, paella, and fried calamari. Sangria was good, came in a big glass, fried calamari was so so, but the big disappointment was the paella. While they gave big portion, it was soupy. There's no crunchy bottom. So clearly this was undercooked or maybe just preheated. Nonetheless, the service was good and the place was nice and cozy. read more

In Spain said they are very popular on "Paellas" so me and my friend we went here to try and I didn't like it at all.. it was like not flavor.. the drinks very a big pricey we just order a beer. Service was good. They waiters were very communicative, that day was not a busy day, so the food came fast.. too bad I didn't take a pic of the food read more

We came here after our other Tapas spot fell through. With less than ninety minutes before close they were able to accommodate us and serve us. However, the waitress mentioned we were limited to a certain part of the menu. What we had was alright, nothing unique. I do remember hilariously bitting into a jalapeno that was so spicy I drank all the water. The tomato spread bread was good. We all shared some wine while we waited. We had a lot of tapas while in Barcelona, this place was great to hang out with friends and have some late night tapas. Not as memorable perhaps because we came late but food could have been better. read more

Have come here the last two times I've been to Barcelona and would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a solid no-frills dining experience. Not as busy as some other restaurants, but the food is excellent and the service is fast - important if you're doing a tapas crawl. Highly recommend the gambas and shishito peppers read more

I didn't try everything our group of four ordered, but I heard good things about ibérico sliced ham, grilled steak, calamari, & even the burger. However, no one cared for the chicken skewers. They raved about the potatoes with chorizo & egg so much that I was influenced to try them; no regrets giving into peer pressure, this dish was super flavorful. I liked all three shrimp tapas (crispy, garlic, & ajillo), as well as the patatas bravas, potato omelette, & ham & cheese croquettes. To add color to my plate, I ordered grilled veggies with romesco sauce. We ended with a chocolate dessert drizzled with olive oil & salt. I'm sure each tapas bar in Barcelona is even more amazing than the next, but after a 19-hour travel day & a late-night arrival, I was pleased with this one. Beautiful outdoor seating where we enjoyed warm weather & energetic passers-by. Friendly, efficient service from our lovely Filipino waiter. A fine recommendation from our hotel's front desk staff. read more

The food here was absolutely amazing. We had service right away as it wasn't very busy and they deserved 20 stars out of five. The ambience was cute and it was very tidy and well put together place. Would recommend, got 6 tapas and sangria for 50€!! read more

On my ventures to find amazing Spanish tapas, I happily stumbled upon Lonja de Tapas! The Homemade ham croquettes ( 4.90 € ) are an absolute MUST! They are exploding with flavors and just feel like you died and went to cheesy, gooey heaven! I also ordered the fried egg with potatoes & chorizo from "La Rioja" ( 6.90 € ) which was delicious. Perfectly cooked egg atop potatoes with a dollop of authentic chorizo... mmmm! I couldn't have had a more enjoyable lunch on a beautiful April day in the heart of Barcelona! read more

Lonja de Tapas - Fried egg with potatoes and chorizo from "La Rioja" with incredible homemade ham croquettes and roja sangria - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Respectable decent tapas bar. The terrace seems tempting but inside is nicer. The view from the terrace is - "What view? - the trucks are blocking the way." The food is lovely. Manchego cheese and guava is the standard manchego cheese and guava you get anywhere - which means delightful. Sauteed padron peppers with coarse salt are addictive - and that is a kitchen skill item. There are other places this good in Barcelona but this ain't bad, read more

My family and I came here for lunch and it was perfect. The food offered was very kid-friendly and was amazing. We ordered tapas including the ham croquettes and it was quite delicious. Our server was very nice as well. Was a little disappointed that cocktails were not available for order but the food and service certainly made up for it. read more

We had a great lunch at Celler de Tapas, so we knew that Lonja de Tapas would be just as good. The food was delicious. We ordered a variety of tapas from the menu. English menu was available and the waiters also spoke English. We had the following: - Tomato bread - I liked this tomato bread compared to La Plata. The bread was toasted and lots of yummy olive oil infused with the tomatoes. - Potato and egg with foie gras - My husband liked this dish a lot! The foie gras was not as good as his dish at El Quim, but it wasn't bad. - Eggplant, artichokes, and sundried tomatoes - So awesome since they were marinated in olive oil. - Shrimp in casserole - Out of all of the tapas, this was disappointing. The shrimps were really small. - Scallops with asparagus and peppers - Pretty good. - Tomato salad with smoked salmon - Loved this salad. The heirloom tomatoes were awesome. The red onions weren't overwhelming too. Loved the smoked salmon. It was an interesting combination of soy sauce flavors with the smoked salmon. - Crispy potatoes with spicy sauce - Complimentary which was delicious. - Octopus with potatoes - The octopus was actually fatty, but it was good. We spent around 48 euros for dinner which is pretty pricey, but at least we liked the food. read more

Foie gras burger was hands down the BEST lunch near the Picasso Museum. Perfectly cooked resting on top of sea salted potato in a delicious olive oil. Heaven. The olive oil they use is magical pixie dust. Service was slow at first, but once they submit the order via wireless device, food comes out like the Jetson's cartoon. Our server brought out complimentary patatas bravas without the mayo aioli for the kids. Bravo for the bravas !! Extensive wine list and menu "del dia" included, appetizer, entree, & dessert for 9.95 Euro. Completely worth it. Outdoor seating is the usual + 15%, but if you sit inside you will enjoy the modern lighting and decorative varnished wooden repurposed wine crates. read more

What a random find this place was! My original intention was going to this other restaurant in the Gothic area, but the menu was entirely Catalynan and a bar setting, and it just wasn't right for a lunch setting with my family. We veered off and found this gem. What drew our attention to this place was their lunch special: 3 courses + drink for 9.95 Euros only if you inside but we had no problem with that. I ordered the calamari, beef filet, and chocolate/marscapone dessert and of course a white wine. I really enjoyed each dish, and it was quite a good serving size! I was leery that they may have downsized each dish because of the special lunch deal, but I was so full afterwards. My favorite dish was the beef filet as it was cooked perfectly and it just broke apart with great seasoning and flavors. It was spot on. I also really enjoyed the dessert. I don't often eat things with marscapone but glad that I got to have some on this trip! Definitely coming back for this lunch special! read more

I really enjoyed this place. There was a group of 10 or so of us, all exchange students. The waiter was extremely patient and accommodating. I ordered the prawns which were simply amazing- lightly and perfectly fried. No need to peel these bad boys, just eat them whole (that's how good). The mojito was also extremely fresh, I just wish there had been a bit less ice. A bit pricy, but good portions and quality. I would definitely go back. read more

While with our group, we were treated to a wonderful lunch. The location was amazingly difficult to arrive at. This was our introduction to the Gotic area in Barcelona. The restaurant is an artist's thought. The atmosphere is right out of an old movie. Dark, quiet and a rest from the hustle outside. Our menu was prepared ahead of our arrival. So the menu was also planned with excellent care. Sun dried tomatoes with parmigiana, artichokes with pesto olive oil. Green peppers with Maldonado salt. Crispy coated prawns and homemade cod croquettes. Never, with the exception of business meals have I ever had such a delicious experience. And this was part of a trip! Lunch, wine and excellent conversation rounded this experience. There was a small and for me, not needed dessert. Three chocolate ice cream. Three 3 count them 3 types of chocolate. I really love this place. read more

Pros: -Indoor and outdoor seating -we quickly received our food and drinks (keep in mind we ate lunch around 2 pm) Cons: -the ham croquettes. We have been doing tapas hops the last couple of days. I hate to say it but this places ham croquettes were my least favorite. -Bombas-they were cold. Just like the ham croquettes. -sangria-tasted like cheap liquor which is not what I'm looking for when I order sangria. The taste was so overpowering that I could only drink a sip. read more

This place is INCREDIBLE! We bounced around Barcelona trying different tapas and this was by far the BEST!!! Highly recommend to try this spot on your visit. The goat cheese salad was amazing. As well as the tuna tartar. Sangria was sparkly and strong (which we loved). Service was awesome. GO HERE!! read more

This is the BEST tapas place to go to while in Barcelona. There are 2 locations in the city, both are equally amazing. My FAVORITE has to be the spinach and goat cheese croquettes -an appetizer. Their fish is so good as well as their Yaki soba! Their piña colada is HUGE which can be shared. I love this place I came here twice while here. read more

Our favorite tapas spot in Barcelona. We had an incredible lunch, the menu of the day is 3 courses for 9.95 euros, and worth it! We started with langostinos, then the was the hamburgesa con fois gras, and finally the chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. Everything was extremely tasty! We brought the kids, and they had chicken skewers, sardine bites, and patates. They ate everything, including our desserts. 5 of us for lunch and a bottle of wine, $60 euros. read more

Just finished eating grilled squid...phenomenal! On the other hand, my mojito was mostly ice! Expensive place which is why we got one tapa. read more

This was a total letdown. It looked so nice and cozy from the outside, but once inside we quickly suspected we'd fallen into a tourist trap. The staff was in attentive and uninspired. This was a quiet night, the restaurant was not even half full, and yet we were forgotten twice. One of our orders came 20-30 minutes after we'd finished eating. We were asked if we wanted to see the desert menu, answered 'yes', and it just never showed up. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. Overall the whole experience was let down by feeling like you were a nuisance to the staff just by showing up. Not going back here! read more

I got food poisoning! Someone in the reviews called this the Applebee's of tapas, and they were spot on! Like I mentioned, this place gave me food poisoning!! The food seemed like it came out of a microwaveable box, be cautious! My stomach was gone for a few days and dampened my Spain trip a bit :/ . And the sad thing was, the waiter recommended I get the breaded chicken, and it was awful!!! I'm giving two stars because prices are reasonable for menu of the day. This place is a tourist trap, indeed. Rule of thumb: if they have someone standing outside the restaurant trying to get people to come in, DO NOT GO. I do NOT recommend this place, seriously, go anywhere else, there are many better options everywhere. read more

We stopped here on the way back from the beach. It was nice to have the indoor seating on a hot August evening. The service was good but the food was just adequate. The portion of mussels was super sized but lacked the refined taste. (Don't believe the urban myth that unopened mussels are bad, do your research!) Gazpacho was mostly tomatoes without the herbs. The sea bass was good, served on a layer of thinly sliced potatoes and sweet onions somewhat oversaturated with oil. The steaks were just ok, the meat was not soft, and had a few ligaments in them. The baked camembert cheese looked like it was deep fried in oil. Overall we did not have the feeling that the cuisine was authentic. read more

Had a very good meal here. The grilled squid was amazingly wonderful! Service was also very good.

The tapas is not bad but the waiter charges 15% more and when I found it out，the waiter told me that there will be more 15% charge if you eat outside in Barcelona by policy. After that，I double check with other bars and restaurants, and the answer is absolutely no. So take care about the check when waiters give them to you and make sure the money on the bill matches the ones showing at the menu. read more

Mediocre tapas at a high price - in a nice ambiance. Not worth a meal on your visit to Barcelona.

This place had great tapas! outdoor seating... got full for less than 20 euros! Remember, people are allowed to smoke at outdoor tables here, so you might be eating dinner and the person sitting next to you lights up. read more

AMAZING!!!!!!!!! This was our last meal in Barcelona and it was fantastic!! We had the burger with foie gras and fries which just melted in your mouth, the fried calamari, sauteed squid and shrimp.

Wandered up to this place late night as they had a good patio. Overall great food, particularly the garlic shrimp. The paella portions are quite big, an order for 2 was enough for 4 of us with the 3-4 tapas starters we ordered. The only slightly disappointing dish was the octopus. read more
