Excellent tapas spot with your choice of indoor and outdoor seating. The patio area is in the middle of a small courtyard between the buildings. To finish off, we had to get the nougat ice cream, which is basically almond. We are gonna try to come back for the Albondigas. read more

We really enjoyed a few tapas here - Catalonian meatballs, and Iberico ham sandwich - and the Sangria was a delicious accompaniment. We dined outside under covered canopies labels Bar SPI, so I assume this is related to that nearby bar. Service was fast and friendly. They helped me with my Spanish and I helped them with their English. I def recommend them for small bites! read more

It's too bad because the food at this place was actually decent. However, the service and potential racism really soured our experience. We didn't find the portions to be as small as others have described. They were a bit overpriced, but that comes with the territory of being in a touristy area. The croquetas de jamon, buñuelos de bacalao, grilled octopus, and gambas al ajillo were all really delicious. The octopus was actually the best I had in Barcelona, and I ordered it at several really great restaurants. Unfortunately, the service really ruined it for us. Follow me for a minute. We came during the late afternoon when many other places were closed. We wanted a happy hour type spot with patio seating. When we arrived, they only had one table and it was the only one not under the two large umbrellas. Given that it was August, it was very hot. We asked the server if we could move the table about a meter so we'd be in the shade. She said it was not problem. Then this angry man comes out of the restaurant and starts berating her. After about a half hour, the sun shifted and we were completely out of the shade. We asked our server if we could move to a now open table under one of the umbrellas. She said it was not problem, so we moved. Then the man comes out yelling at us and telling us we need to "calm down and stop moving." He then proceeds to move the umbrella, supposedly so that another customer would not be in the sun. However, she was already in the shade and the result was that we were no longer in the shade and were completely in the sun. Eventually, I asked him if he could please move one of the other umbrellas so that we would not be in the sun, as he had done for the other woman. He argued with me that we were not in the sun, despite me pointing out that my shadow was clearly visible and the only way that would be possible is if I were in the sun. He begrudgingly accommodated, but first sarcastically mocked me for my request. It was especially telling that when we told our other server that he was very rude, she simply responded, "I know." All in all, the food was actually decent, but this one employee really ruined our experience. I mention racism because my wife was the one Black customer there. He seemed to be particularly agitated toward her and especially accommodating toward all of the other customers. It's very sad to see this and this was the only such experience we've had in Barcelone. read more

Food was so-so and service was terrible. Extremely rude when checking out. I definitely would not eat there again. read more

We asked to sit and order drinks. They said yes. Then when people arrived they insisted that we order two tapas. When we ordered two tapas, they asked that we order two more or leave. We left. read more

Touristy. 10% service charge. Food is good but a bit pricier for what it is. There are street performances who come by for tips.

There were many restaurants and tapas place in this area of Barcelona. Lots of tourists also. I picked this one I don't know why. I was happy for their prompt service, good food and wine. Definitely a tourists place, but a good one. Paella was tasty and anchovies with vinegar was good. Olives and red wine, they are good almost all places in Barcelona! read more

4 tapas for 15 euros. Sounds good right? Nope. They fail to mention that they're mini, and that all 4 tapas that came in one itty bitty platter could not even fulfill one little girl. I'm barely 5'2 and less than 120 lbs. They saw our group of 3, but didn't warn us we would not be full. Portion size is measly, about 1/3 the size of a normal tapas dish. I had tapas the last two nights so I would know. We were so hungry before the meal AND after the meal. The worst thing was they were very aware of their unethical business. My friend called out the waitress and said, "This is the worst meal we've had here. Did you know that we wouldn't be full off of this? " "Yes" the waitress says shamelessly. Also, there was a one euro fee for sitting outside. Thanks for telling us. No one should come here. read more

PaTapas - This for "4 tapas dishes" for 15 euro. Tourist trap! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

I've been coming to Barcelona for countless times and this is a very first place I won't recommended to anyone. Plus this is a first time I sent my food back in the past 10 years. Their tapas were just ok, not as good as other places I went to before. -Garlic potatoes tastes nothing like garlic. It was more like potatoes dips in olive oil. -Grilled small peppers were under salted. -Seafood paella was horrible and it was the plate I had to send back. It was inedible fishy. I asked my friends to took a bite of the rice and they all agreed the seafood was bad. (We didn't even touch the seafood.) The rice tasted that fishy we didn't want to get food poison by tasting any of those seafood. The server told me it made with seafood so it suppose to taste like seafood..fresh seafood yes, a week old seafood NO! My friends speak Spanish so they told the guy we know what seafood paella taste like. Finally he took it back. Thank you! -Tiramisu was alright. It was different than regular tiramisu. First I just taste more like a custard cream with coco powder on top but once I dig my spoon all the way down I could taste a coffee syrup. This dish actually was the best I had that night beside my sangria :) -Catalunya cream brûlée was super eggy with a thick burn sugar on top..my friends and I had a bite and no one dare to take a second. -Sangria was good. I never experience any bad sangria in Barcelona ;) Sorry for this bad review. There are many tapas places in BCN so if you guys don't step up a little bit, you will be able to fool those poor tourist once but no one would ever come back. read more

Great food. It came out veRy quick. Only down fall was drink cane with tons of ice but when we asked for less ice on the next one they did it. Bread was very thin with tomatoe but we had extra white bread. I recommend dulling the bread into the oil of the chorizo. We had chorizo pulpit Caesar salad croquettes cheese ham calamari and the olives. All perfect amounts.ready for dessert it looks good! Except the expression double was not really a double read more

Ok so I am somewhat of a tapas snob. I grew up in Spain so I known what things are supposed to look like, and especially how they're supposed to taste. We had a delicious meal here: of tapas. Portions were fine. They're supposed to be small, but shared between the 2 of us, we made a fine meal. Don't know what the haters were so upset about. Not us! read more

I have to agree with most of the other reviews. The tapas here are edible but very small. You'll need a lot to sate your hunger. The location is convenient in the gothic quarter, the service is ok. Better tapas are available elsewhere. read more

What's up Philly!!! It's your boy!!! Well I must say it's been a minute since I've given a review. But I got married & me & my wife decided to honeymoon in Barcelona Spain. And let me tell you this city is full of life. Folks in this town treat everyday like the weekend. Each day & night people fill the streets just enjoying life. With restaurants & taverns everywhere you go. Now me & wifey dined at a few spots ( some hits & misses) but one particular restaurant won our respect in the fact that the food & service was so good we went back to dine there 3 times. And every time was a great experience. The food was on point. Remember this name Pa Tapas in Gothic Quarter Barcelona. Great food, Great service & Great prices. Trust me you won't be disappointed. Ok till next time. Peace!!! read more

We were hungry and wandering La Rambla and desperately needed lunch! The tapas here were about 4 Euros but nothing spectacular. I ordered a sausage sandwich and was welcomed by two lonely slices of hard bread with a lacking garlic mayo sauce and literally 3 sausages that weren't even sliced. I was so disappointed but had to eat because I was so hungry T_____T read more

We ate here 2 times. First time it was OK but just barely. We went a second time because the kids actually liked their hamburgers. I was sitting in the back looking directly into the kitchen...that was not good. The guys in the back had 2 cutting boards and they were cutting anything on them from squid to bread. Then to make matters worse I saw one of them just wiping dirty plates with what looked like a wet towel. I was so grossed out. We didn't eat what we ordered, I just paid and we left. I think this place is more of a tourist trap than anything. Eat anywhere else. read more

Mediocre tapas. Bit of a tourist trap in the gothic quarter. I'd go off down the little lanes in search of something more authentic unless you're famished and need something quick. read more

The tapas at this small casual tapas bar inside the Gothic Quarter were good but nothing spectacular. Service was fast and friendly. We never felt rushed or got any attitude from the staff for being tourists. The small bathroom was also pretty clean. read more

This is a total Tourist Trap. We chose the menu and got 4 tapas of very low quality in small quantities. I suggest you choose a place in a less popular location. read more

Good place, recommended. In the windy back street behind La Rambla this is a simple unpretentious place for Tapas (hence the name) and drinks. We met one evening after a day at the Fera with a group of workmates and had a pretty pleasant time. Nice beer, good tapas, efficient service. Solid! read more

I have to thank Richard for this one. We were in Barcelona because of the MWC and we met at this place and tried some tapas and it was awesome! Unfortunately I don't remember what we had but I saved this place for the next time I'll be in the city. Absolutely suggested if you fancy some tapas. read more

Disgusting food. So badly prepared and just so cheap. Ordered a panini and the ham was very dry and cheap. The nachos were cheaper than what you would get at a sporting event. read more

Indifferent service at best, non existent at worst. Average tapas dishes. Female waitress decided to take her break during lunch service and left us with equally disinterested waiter/owner who lectured me on the sins of salt when I asked for some (the chef had forgotten the Malden Salt on the Tomato Bread with Malden Salt!). Tapas dishes were ok, not bad but not good Avoidthere are far better experiences read more
