My first day in Barcelona and I googled great place to eat and stumbled on this absolute gem! Service was great! They speak English BTW The staff were friendly and very helpful!

The portions were much bigger than I imagined tapas being. These were my first! They created a great desire for more! It was hard deciding what to try. They had duck risotto on the daily special menu and I wanted it, but it was a full meal and I would only get to taste that. I will definitely be going back during my two week stay here in Barcelona! Hopefully I will get to try the duck risotto! Highly recommend!!

Ziryab fell onto my radar as a popular tapas spot in Barcelona. I didn't make that many dining…read moreplans in advance before visiting the city, I just knew I wanted tapas. Ziryab seemed to fit the bill, so we made plans to stop here during our first night in the city. Ziryab is located close to the Gothic Quarter, on side street. It's kind of inconspicuous from the outside, but the interior gives way to a really welcoming space. The restaurant is separated into two main areas, with an earth-tone color scheme that has a rustic, almost cave-like aesthetic. The high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows keep the dining room open and spacious. The tapas menu had a good selection, and we decided on several items: pan con tomate, sweet potato rolls, chicken cannelloni, bacon-wrapped figs, croquettes, falafel, and a charcuterie board. All the tapas were great - my favorites were the chicken cannelloni, pan con tomate, and the charcuterie board. The cannelloni especially was a standout - definitely a unique dish, and the chicken was super flavorful. We opted for dessert, and got the feta whip cheesecake - this was great as well. The combination of tang and sweet was a good finisher to our meal. Service was great - everyone was friendly and our dishes were served at a good pace. Overall, I'm glad I tried out Ziryab - the tapas were delicious and atypical of ones you find elsewhere in Barcelona. I would have no qualms returning here for another meal.

The stars were definitely the braised leeks and scallops. The butter garlic sauce on the scallops was so delicious I want it injected in my veins.

Both my son and I are very picky about Lebanese food having been spoiled by the excellent Lebanese in our home town Los Angeles, so we ordered with trepidation. The very first must-try dish immediately set our minds at ease: please, do yourselves a favor and order their Fatoush salad. It's done so right, juicy tangy, bursting with flavors and the pita in the salad is made into a curly flower and gives a delicious crunch. We liked the dish of garbanzo and yogurt a bit less, as it was quite heavy and lacked flavor. My son was very pleased with shish tavouk with chicken, and I loved my halloumi dish. The service was slow (as everywhere in Barcelona) but it was efficient, and our Egyptian waiter had good recommendations for everything. He was funny and personable.

We started off with some cocktails…read morethat were delicious, but I must note that our server forgot about our drinks...well, I think she did. She said the bar was really busy - but they arrived shortly after we asked about them. The second round was much faster - and they sent complimentary shots to the table. So, you decide. Food: Starters: - Tomato bread, YUM! - Chicken croquet (my favorite) - Scallops (we all decided we could have done without) - Tacos (very juicy). I wish I took a picture of the menu, I don't recall what each dish was, but these are my best guesses. Main course: - Octopus (cooked perfectly!) - Steak (a little raw for my taste, but the potatoes and sauce it came with were great!) - Chicken something in a potato pasta or something like that (skip, too bland) Dessert: We had to get the sorbet in the shape of the succulent. I was very refreshing and better than i expected. The servers made up for the forgotten drinks and were very kind and even gave us recommendations of places to go out that evening. I would definitely go back!

We sat upstairs with a large party and had plenty of space. Our recommender said the food was phenomenal, but I personally found it to be just pretty good. I ordered the Thai vegetarian curry which was very good but salty. A decent amount of vegetables but much more rice than actual curry. My one friend who ordered a dish (which the name of unfortunately escapes me) with prawns, beans, and chorizo also shared this sentiment. Other dishes that received good reviews from the table included a cheese platter, the cactus dessert (mojito mousse and lemon sorbet), the fish of the day (which was cod), and the mushroom risotto. We also ordered a bottle of Cava Montjuic, which tasted similar to many other sparkling white wines. One problem to note was that we were not alerted that the fish of the day had clams atop it, which posed a problem for the recipient of the dish who has a shellfish allergy. The staff was polite and understanding, though she did just have to order and pay for another dish. Overall, nice atmosphere and good food, but not as great as expected.

While celebrating my lovely wife's birthday during our first-year trip to Barcelona, we shared one of our most impressive, imaginative, amazing meals ever at Etapes. We spent some three hours oohing, ahhing, and exclaiming over everything, from the foie gras/smoked eel appetizer through the multiple courses of the "gourmand" tasting menu. The menu changes seasonally, but whatever's on it when you go, you will not be disappointed. Or bored. (Especially if you request a pitcher of the house cava sangria to accompany your meal.) The service, the venue, and the unexpectedly delightful company of the other diners we met all enhanced the experience.

I had reserved a table for 14 so we were given a tasting menu which made ordering and drinking super easy. We got plenty of food and wine and left the restaurant happy and stuffed. The service was super nice and the Manager of the restaurant was super accommodating. Everything felt super high class and the food presentation and quality was superb. We selected the Colom menu at 55 euros per person and the drink choice of three types of wine for 20 euros. Everything was delicious and the wine kept on flowing throughout the whole meal. Each sharing plate was easy to split between 3-4 people. Toasted flat bread with tomato and extra virgin olive oil - the bread was soft yet crisp on the outside, nicely complemented by a light tomato spread and olive oil. A great start. Warm artichoke salad potatoes, Jabugo ham, cheese and poached quail egg - creamy from the potato salad with refreshing crisp salad and well-cooked artichokes. Salmon tartar with avocado, vegetables, wasabi, topiko - The salmon and vegetables both tasted super fresh. Fine chicken cannelloni, mushroom and black truffle oil - I loved this dish. The chicken and mushroom was like a paste stuffed in this delicate pasta. So good. I never had a dish like this before. Roast beef flatbread - another winner, the flavor of the roast beef was super prominent. Hot and cold foie gras duo - Super delicate and full of flavor. A great dish to eat with some toasted crisp bread. Scallops, artichokes, Iberian pork and truffle oil - scallops were perfectly cooked. Seared on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside. Each plate had three which was plenty per person. Grilled steak fillet with seasoned vegetables - steak was cooked perfectly. Soft to cut with a butter knife. The seasoning was spot on and meat itself was so tender. Great execution in the dish. Star Bombay gin and tonic with tonka beans, lemon and raspberries - I wasn't sure what to expect from this pre-dessert but I was blown away. It had the consistency of maybe aired out mousse. It was delicate looking but man it was full of flavor. It was very refreshing and all the flavors just meshed so well together. A great and unique dish. Never had anything like it. Chocolate ice cream and ganache with olive oil and salt - A delicious end to a delicious meal. The chocolate just shined. It was sweet but not overly sweet and the crunch from the crumbles added a great texture to the velvety smooth chocolate ice cream. Overall, an amazing dining 5 star experience.
