Came here (twice actually) recently on a trip to Barcelona - late lunch after La Sagrada Familia, and then for our final dinner before leaving. My aunt and uncle found this place on their last trip (their hotel was nearby) and then my parents had also went. Sangria is tasty, we ended up buying bottles of local wine because why not :) Food wise, we had the jamon iberico, paella, salads, veal + clams, grilled shrimp, garlic shrimp, padron peppers, and bread (they give you garlic and tomatoes here for yo my to do yourself). The first time we came it was really busy so service was a little slower so the manager gave us a free potato salad tapa which was also delicious. Some of the wait staff speak more English than others, but it was easy enough to communicate and the food was delicious (bathroom is also clean)! read more

This place had great reviews and we thought it would be nice. It looked nice inside and our waiter was quite pleasant. The sangria we ordered was tasty, but small, and the tapas were pretty decent. The patates braves were chunky French fries so I wouldn't recommend. The issue came when we ordered two paellas. We specifically said 4 people would be sharing two paella's, because the menu stated each cost €12,50. When we got our food, after waiting over 30 minutes, it was heavily salty to the point we couldn't eat anymore. The worst part was when our check came and we were charged for 4 paella's. When we asked why the waiter told us that it was for 2 and had two portions, per order, so we would have to pay €12,50 per serving. He then tells us the smaller size would have been €12,50 between two people. NO WHERE IN THE MENU OR RESTAURANT DID IT SAY THAT. we then asked a second person to make sure we were getting correct info and the waitress around confirmed the same thing. Overall, it was a ripoff and they scammed us. The food was mediocre at best and no one told us that we would be paying €25 more because there were different sizes. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY, and always ask specifically to avoid being ripped off. read more

I was told before the trip that this was an excellent place to get proper jamon iberico pata negra de bellota. I wasn't looking for a large meal. I just needed the ham fix. I liked that the restaurant gave me toasted bread with fresh tomato and garlic to rub on it myself. The server carved beautiful slightly irregular pieces to cover the entire plate. This was the best ham I had on the trip, and I tried quite a few. Along with some beer and some liquor de belotta, it was excellent. read more

Very delicious restaurant! We ordered the Iberian steaks and paella. The steaks were delicious, moist chicken wrapped around ham and a cream sauce, breaded and fried. It was served with the most delicious potatoes -a mix between a potato coin and a chip. They were amazing! The paella was so delicious and fresh -very savory with plenty of seafood. While we waited for our meal, waitstaff delivered 2 complimentary tapas tastes -a garlic potato salad and fried mushrooms. At the end of our meal, the waitress delivered complimentary tastes of acorn liquor. It's so darn amazing -our friend bought a bottle. The prices were reasonable -for a little less than 30€ we got a Fanta, a 1/2 liter of beer, paella, and Iberian steaks. That ACORN LIQUOR THO!!!! Wow! read more

I had ~45 min before my entry time into Sagrada Familia and still needed to check off eating authentic Iberian Melon and Ham (one of my favorite dishes) in Spain. This place did not disappoint! Awesome food and the waitstaff knew I was in a hurry and made sure I got it in time! I ordered the lunch special for less than 15 euros which included an appetizer, entree, dessert and drink. There was also a complementary potatoe and meat (pork heart?) pre appetizer than was so delicious. I got the Melon and Ham as my appetizer and Cordon Bleu as my main course, with rice pudding for dessert. Melon and Ham did NOT disappoint at all!!!! I will dream of this dish forever. The cordon bleu was average and the rice pudding was good, but I had such a good experience here it warranted 5 stars. Especially since it's so close to Sagrada familia, the prices and quality of food and lack of cheap touristy vibes is really impressive. It's also fun to eat with all the Ham legs on the wall for storage (and decor). read more

Los Bellota - Melon and Ham, and complimentary meat and potato dish - Spanish Near Me - Barcelona, B

Delicious. No other word can describe it. We were looking for a place to eat after visiting La Sagrada Familia and wanted to get away from the restaurants just across the street. We stumbled upon Los Bellota a couple of blocks away. Wow. Amazing sangria. Amazing food. Excellent service. Don't waste your time at the loud and busy fish restaurant across the street. Come to Los Bellota, try the baked eggs, lamb stew, and sausages in wine. (And if you'd prefer beer, you can get a meter of it). A previous review seems to have docked them some stars for not speaking English. I don't expect anyone in Spain to speak English, and would never dock stars for non-English speaking staff in a non-English speaking country. We were able to communicate with the staff just fine. The baked eggs were perfectly cooked, golden, and runny. Cooked with red pepper, sausage, and peas, it was the perfect marriage of ingredients. The lamb stew was tender, flavorful, and included bones that were perfect for spreading marrow on the provided bread. The sangria was sweet and smooth. Patatas Bravas is my favorite comfort food in Barcelona and the ones here did not disappoint. I highly recommend Los Bellota for anyone near La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. read more

We stumbled upon this place after our 3rd attempt to eat at a restaurant near Sagrada Familia. Everything in the area was closing for siesta (it was around 4pm) and we were getting desperate. They seated us right a away and brought out this complimentary potato salad dish served with two pieces of toast. It was very very good. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms, anchovies served over tomatoes with vinegar, chorizo in a red wine sauce, and a salad with manchego cheese, nuts, dried fruit and honey. We devoured everything. I was having straight up foodgasms with every bite. I'm so so happy that we found this place. I've had too many experiences where I was completely disappointed with a meal, especially near tourist sites of big cities. This was definitely a great find. Our tummies were very pleased. :) read more

We where walking around the area. What a pleasant suppose. The food was very good. We had several taps all where better than the one before it. All was fresh and cooked to order. If I have the opportunity to return I will be returning to have a mother meal here. read more

Just came from having dinner here. It was open during the afternoon on Jan 1, which was helpful for us. Because it was open!!! We were a group of 4 adults and two kids. They gave us a nice table where the kids would be out of the way. The service was fantastic and the food was really good! Very different type of flavors. The peppers were very good, as were the croquettes and the omelette. Be sure and look at the other offerings listed under the pictures. They had an extensive dessert list, which makes a nice change. The price wasn't bad for six people, wine, juices, entrees, and appetizers. Only 112 euros. read more

It was our first time in Barcelona, Spain, and this place was recommended by my nephew, who's a foodie. Our hotel is just one block away from the glorious Sagrada Familia church. It's walking distance. Being first-time tourists in the area, we wanted to try authentic Spanish food. We ordered the seafood paella and some tapas(small food plates in Spain). I fell in love with Paella. The rice was perfect, and the mussels, shrimps, and the rest of the ingredients were delicious. I will never eat paella in the US again. LOL Theirs is the best. We also tried their calamari, chorizos, and Iberico ham. All were very good! The manager asked us to try the salted green chili. At first, we were afraid to taste it since it might be very hot and we will lose our sense of taste, but we were wrong, the chili is like eating a regular vegetable like beans or spinach (not actual shape comparison), meaning it wasn't spicy or hot at all. It was good too! We must try the sangria, of course, and it's the real deal sangria! Hahaha. It was fantastic. The restaurant also serves cream liquor similar to Irish Baileys. It was very yummy! The service was really fast, and the ambiance is excellent. The manager and the servers were all very friendly. The restaurant looks clean, and it cozy. There's no loud music so you can really enjoy your meal. They have a wall full of wines and, on the other side, have a wall filled with ham. We returned the following day to have some coffee, and they serve good coffee as well. A lot of tourists go to the place, sometimes in big groups because it's so popular. I will definitely go back to this place when we visit the beautiful city of Barcelona again. read more

Food was not good, I got the garlic prawns and they did not bother to devine the shrimps. Service was ok but not a lot of English spoken by the waitresses. The back of the restaurant smelled like a sewer had backed up. I will not go back for another meal. read more

This place is amazing. They give you a complimentary appetizer for starters which is always a good thing. We ordered steak, lamb stew, pork rib and tripes. Everything was amazing. The staff was really friendly too. We'll be back for sure before we head back home. read more

SO GOOD! Another one in the neighborhood that you can't miss. Family-owned and the pride in their restaurant shows. Reasonably priced and the free almond liquor at the end tops it all off. read more

We had been staying at a nearby hotel and asked the front desk for a recommendation for a place to grab dinner. When we mentioned we wanted tapas they recommended we visit here, and gave us a coupon for two free tapas. The food itself was quite tasty, even if we weren't overly adventurous. It was clear they had lots to pick from, though because of that it would probably help to go with someone who is familiar with what's good and what you'll like. We played it safe though and had potatoes bravas and a charcuterie platter, both of which were excellent. Our free tapas were also good, though it was a little unclear exactly what they were. The staff were friendly but their english wasn't the strongest which made communicating tricky. It also wasn't overly pricey. Overall a great option for people who had no idea where to go, and we left very pleased with the choice. read more

When we were last in Barcelona in 2014, our family ate here at least twice. The food was great and the atmosphere, inside and out was delightful. It is steps from La Sagrada Familia, too... We are back in Barcelona, but only for the day. We came back for more, and it did not disappoint! read more

Super authentic. Pig cheeks were incredible, salads were fresh and delicious, the wine though - I still have a photo of the best wine. The gentleman with glasses and long grey hair recommended it. He might be an owner as he was incredibly hospitable and craved meat right in the middle of the restaurant. Wonderful coffee as well. Just overall perfect experience to digest the Sagrada Familia. read more

The service was nice and the food was pretty good. The chorizo in wine was great and so were the patatas bravas and the eggs. The paella was just OK.. the paella gets 2.5 stars and the rest gets 5 so 4 stars it is :) if you want jamon Serrano and/or cheese I would go to Enrique Tomas it's a better value.. The cooked foods are really good at Los bellota. read more

Despite it's location near Sagrada Familia, we didn't find this place to be too touristy. Food was excellent and so was the service. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because they forgot a part of our meal but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. read more

This restaurant had been recommended to us by a friend, so we decided to go by during our visit to La Sagrada Familia. The place is located one block away from the Sagrada Familia, on one of the side streets and locals are not familiar with it unless you provide an exact address, so have the address handy (sometimes I think they are just not helpful, at least that was our experience all around). We had their local draft beer, Estrella, croquetas, choricitos al vino, pimientos de padron - all tapas were very good. We didn't order anything else as we just wanted to taste a few things here and there. It's not a fancy place, it is equivalent to a cafeteria in America. They do have a restroom that you can use when you eat there, which is a plus in Europe. We asked for water and we were charged 1.95 Euros, which I thought was ridiculous since it was their local water not bottled, but seems like in Europe they charge you for everything separately, so be aware! I do recommend this place as it was good and inexpensive. If you are two or more I recommend getting a "Tabla" which is an assortment of cheeses and ham or other options. By the way, none of the restaurants that we visited assisted us with what to order or what would be your best deal, so again, be aware and read the menu before selecting so you don't end up paying more. read more

We were pleased with our visit here. It was confusing at first because all the tables are in the back. The menu had things on it we never saw anywhere else, and that was nice. We liked all our dishes and the sangria was nice. They also served a little digestif to us afterwards which was excellent. read more

Excellent experience here. Nobody spoke much English, but there were pictures on the menu that helped make sense of the descriptions, and everything we had was great. The pig cheeks were amazing, and my wife's veal with clams was tasty as well. The potatoes were fried to an airy texture that we couldn't stop eating, the free appetizer/tapas they brought when we sat down was a very interesting chorizo/bacon/bread stuffing mixture I'd love to make at home. We had two excellent gin and tonics with dinner, and bought a shot of the Bellota (acorn) liqueur, which was also tasty--reminded me of Frangelico. We bought a bottle to tak with us, and he brought us two more shots of the Bellota cream liqueur, which was a great way to end the evening. Highly recommended. read more

This place rocks! We had a group of 12 and we shared a bunch of different tapas. The sangria was amazing... Not too sweet. The service where is your phone and they even brought us a free sampling of their acorn liquor. It was so delicious that three people bought a bottle of it. I bought two bottles of their red wine. €10 apiece! Oh, and one more thing... And the check does not include tip and there is no space for it so tell them how much to add ahead of time. read more

Went to this place as recommended by our hotel. Liked the look of the restaurant upon entering. Typical tapas menu, inexpensive. 2/3 of us didn't like our food at all--calamari, Patatas bravas served with a side of sauce, croquettes all flavorless other ham tasting like fried food. Iberico ham and tomato bread was good but that would be hard to mess up. I say skip this place many better options around read more

Not impressed with this place at all, sub par Spanish food and over priced
