I would order it again...just perhaps without seeing the live one first...lol The restaurant was in walking distance of our hotel and the casino so it was extremely convenient.

It's very clearly a bunch of pre cooked rice into which they throw whatever you order. The grilled seafood platters may be your best bet, as a chance to just get a good piece of seafood. That was the only diner at our table who really seemed to enjoy his meal. The place appears to have hundreds of seats and be able to turn tables over really quickly, and their emphasis appears to be strongly on "feed tourists quickly". So why four stars? They do a lot to give you value for money. Just sat down? Free glass of cava. Menu prices, food and drink, emphasize low cost, it's easy to have a ton of food and drink for under 50 Euro. End of the meal? Shot of limoncello-like herbal liqueur. Don't want a whole dessert? Complementary tray of olive oil cake. And a refill on that liqueur. On that basis, it's a pretty good overall dinner experience and we weren't unhappy. Just don't come here if you aren't motivated by alcohol.

They also gave us bread and tomatoes to make our own pan con tomate. Everything tasted very fresh, and it was a nice ambience, in covered open air seating right along the beach.

Overall, a nice spot for a nice dinner.

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!

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!

Our server, Amaya, was funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He took great care of us, and every single recommendation he made was delicious. I wish I knew all the Spanish names of the dishes because everything was amazing. The highlights for us were the Bacalao -- so tender and full of flavor -- and honestly the best octopus I've ever had in my life. We also loved the soft steak with duck liver served on a slice of French baguette, the shrimp skewers, patatas, and the Spanish ham with tomato toasts. Every dish was unforgettable. On top of the incredible food, the restaurant itself has such an elegant atmosphere with beautiful décor that made the whole dining experience even more special. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona!

We picked the nice outside that also had shade where we were seated. Our server was a nice older man that was super quick on the drinks and for our offer. The food was pretty tasty, and we ordered a few different items for the table to share. Had raw oysters, fried shrimp, tomato bread with anchovies on top, fried oysters, grilled fish, and a seafood plate that was steamed nicely. Maybe one dish I didn't really like was the fried shrimp. My favorite was the grilled fish that had chopped garlic butter on it. I also love the tomato bread with anchovies. Overall I did enjoy this place because everything came out super quick and the food tasted good! I'm surprised at how low the rating is for this place on Yelp. But I would say if you want specific items you should ask the server and that is what we did for our grilled fish and that we were quick on time.

This is one of the most beautifully designed restaurants in Barcelona--fresh, open and cool. The exterior patio overlooking the beach is also gorgeous. We enjoyed a leisurely 3hour lunch and look forward to coming back to Barcelona to eat here. Aside from the outstanding service, which you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber, I'm totally in awe of the food. Each dish is as delightful to your tastebuds as it is artfully displayed. The bomba barcelonet was the bomb--lots of flavor packed into a small ball. The fresh sardines were mild and delightful. The seafood stew and fish filets were also delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and each morsel of food made me gasp with delight. Our son was gracious enough to give me a small sample of the truffle caviar on delicate blinis. We finished our meal with several glasses of toro albalas and a beautiful platter of sweets. Each morsel of food was well worth the calories and price. If you are not looking to eat cheaply, I strongly recommend that you treat yourself to a great meal here.

-New Year's Eve Party Review Only-…read more We wanted a place that we knew we would have a good time on New Year's Eve and we certainly did! The hotel that Arola is in offered many different packages for New Year's Eve. We selected the one to have dinner at Arola and then be able to go to the Gala ballroom after midnight. The location was great, food was pretty good (maybe not great because of it being massed produced for the night), and the service was also fair except for the awesome sommelier. The Gala afterwards was also fun with music and open bar. Then why not a higher star rating? Mainly the value for the event, it was expensive for what you got. Also the Gala ended around 2am which usually is plenty late enough for me but in Barcelona on NYE seemed early. Regardless we had a great time!
