    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

    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.

    Fried egg with potatoes and chorizo from "La Rioja" with incredible homemade ham croquettes and roja sangria

    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!

    Great place! We came for a mod day food break and we weren't disappointed. The tapas were great. This is a cute quiet place worth stopping in.

    Grilled duck foie gras with ginger bread. Neither component was very good.

    The Applebee's of tapas. Do you want to eat at Applebee's after flying all the way to Spain? 'nuff said.

    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.

    Foie gras burger was 10 stars !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Kara P.

    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.

    Calamari
    Todd N.

    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!

    Great tapas. We had grilled vegetables, fried calamari and Pulpo Gallego. Everything was delicious.

    Tapas for everyone
    Andy S.

    Cool little place that we stumbled upon during a Gothic stroll. The prices weren't right, but the variety of tapas were what we were looking for. Tip Try a little of everything. I am sure there is something that most will like. Shrimp was a safe hit for us.

    Wilson L.

    I thought this place was decent and above average. Cool ambiance and good service. It's pricey but most of the restaurants in the area are too. It's not fast food tapas like some others have said. It's better than that. An overall nice place. Try it.

    Lightly fried large prawns
    Anna M.

    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.

    The kickoff!

    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.

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!

The feta cheese was absolutely disgusting, it tasted like imitation rubber cheese. - The "Al Ajillo" Style Shrimps (GAMBES AMB ALLADA) had a very strange flavor within it, which overwhelmed the garlic flavors. - The Beef Tenderloin (FILET VEDELLA), she had to spit 1/4 of it out because it was too tough. - Everything was overpriced there for the value.

    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.

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.

    Quite pleased with my meal as a whole. Lot of positive a tad bit of negative during my dining…read moreexperience here. On the positive side, the food was very good and very fresh. My Greek salad was very authentic and was as good as any salad I had while I lived in Greece. Very fresh vegetables, great Feta and seasoned to perfection. The shrimp scampi under the Tapas menu with garlic was equally good and oh so tasty. The smallish inside restaurant is best described as rustic and a tad warm. Instead I opted for the outside dining area, which has just a few tables but offered a very pleasant ambiance in the small side street this business is located on with low foot traffic and a very nice breeze on the warm day I dined here. The relaxed dining on the outside is definitely the way to go here especially during the summer months. From a negative standpoint, certain aspects of the service were too slow. I was seated pretty quickly upon arrival but I waited a tad bit too long to get my order in. Once ordered though, the food came pretty quickly on a positive note. However, for all intents and purposes the service stopped at that point where I had no follow up and literally had to walk inside the business to get my bill. Overall, the dining experience was still great for me slow service aside as the quality of the food and outdoor ambiance far outweighed the negatives. I would say if you are in a bit of there rush you may want to look elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a relaxing dining experience with great food than this business will be definitely fit the bill!

    What a gem! Yes, it's a bit touristy -- but in the fun, festive, "you're on vacation and loving…read morelife" kind of way. Taverna El Glop wraps you up in its warm, lively atmosphere the second you walk in. We were a group of four, and from start to finish, we had an awesome time. The open kitchen is a great touch -- you can watch the chef in action, which adds to the energy and makes the whole experience feel more connected and authentic. We shared a bunch of dishes, and everything was on point. The paella was rich and delicious -- exactly what we came for. The patatas bravas were crispy, creamy, and gone in seconds, and the shishito peppers were the perfect salty, snacky starter. Of course, we had to get a pitcher of sangria (okay, maybe two), which was fruity, refreshing, and just strong enough to keep things festive. The space itself has this great, rustic charm -- complete with checkered tablecloths and even an old cigarette machine near the bar (haven't seen one of those since I was a kid -- aren't those banned in the U.S. now?). I don't smoke -- smoking sucks -- but it added a bit of unexpected nostalgia and character. Service was excellent. I always make a point to be friendly, ask people their names, and introduce myself -- and that's usually met with warmth. It definitely was here. The staff were quick, kind, and seemed to enjoy the place as much as we did. Personally, I loved it. It's the kind of place you remember -- not because it's fancy or trendy, but because it's fun, flavorful, and full of heart. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Candied tomatoes kind of reminded me a stewed tomatoes. But burrata is always a good thing. Shiso Taco with steak tartare and horseradish. This was a miss for me. The Shiso leaf is getting way overdone at the moment, as it seems to be everywhere. It's obviously very common at Japanese sushi bars. I missed having some kind of crunch with the steak tartare. Maybe flash fry the Shiso leaf to make it crispy? This was all one texture Grilled Black Angus Hanger Steak. This was the best dish of the night. Smoked table side with a mini torch on wood embers, it smelled and tasted wonderful. Sweet and Sour Bonito with currents and radicchio. Hit all the right notes, no complaints here. Cuttlefish fried rice with Iberian pork. Had a beautiful crisp layer of rice on the bottom of the pan and the pork and cuttlefish went perfectly together as a surf and turf. It's Spain in a skillet. Passion Fruit Sorbet was a nice palate cleanser, wasn't super sweet, which led nicely into the dessert. Caprese Cake with Hot Chocolate and Orange. I love this flavor profile, which you never get in the US. The citrus of the orange cuts through the richness of the chocolate. Loved it. As far as tasting menus go, It's closer to 4 stars for me, but the place gets 1 extra star for the name and the vision that the chef always wanted to do things right when he owned his fucking restaurant. Now he does. Respect!!!!
