    Decent tapas, friendly service and reasonable prices. The menu is what you would expect to find in a tapas bar and the flavours are good. I would happily go back here for a lunch when in Barcelona next.

    I love this chain of Tapas restaurant in Barcelona and always wind up eating lunch here when I visit. The last time I was here a few years back, it was not yet a chain as they only had 1 location then and now have 6 altogether (I believe). Easy to find as they are conveniently (and strategically) located along the most touristy strips - even the ones hidden in courtyards that all tourists will wind up getting lost in. So even though it's a chain, don't be deterred from having ***lunch here because I have found it to still be just as good and reliable as on my first visit years ago. The service is excellent and the prices are fair. Most importantly, the food is delicious! Hard to dine here on your own without over-ordering because the whole point of tapas is to sample a few different flavors and regardless, the delicious wine will help you wash it all down. On my most recent visit I enjoyed *the ham croquettes - standard, but a bit more moist than usual. So good! *the sizzling chili shrimp - not spicy by my standards, but extremely fresh like they were plucked right out of the sea! *the sauteed spinach with chick peas & pancetta (I MUST try this recipe at home now!) and *the chorizo (of which there were several preparations to choose from). See what I'm saying? Waaay too much food for just me, but when in Spain...you know the rest. I would go again tomorrow and order the exact same thing cause it was just that good! Ole! ***Note, if you paid attention, I said good for "lunch"; try and go somewhere with a bit more atmosphere (be it lively or romantic) if you want a memorable dinner.

    I visited Taller de Tapas on my first night in Barcelona simply because it was near to my hotel and the menu sounded good after 6 hours on a train from Paris. Short of coming to Barcelona, this may have been one of my best decisions ever. Even though it was early by Barcelona standards, Freddy and the whole staff treated me like family. As a solo traveler, this extra attention makes the whole dining experience not seem so lonely. After a few hours that the bar and sampling many different tapas and cocktails, I was amazed to see a bill of only €36. Having just been in Paris (and living in San Francisco - I was sure I had racked up quite a bill). I happily paid my bill and strolled back to my hotel. On my third and last night in Barcelona, while I wandered the Gothic quarter looking at dinner options, I felt rather underwhelmed. I decided to come back to Taller de Tapas and I am so very glad I did. I was warmly greeted by Freddy again, who both quickly recognized me and got me a seat at the bar. I dined on fantastic tapas and amazing wine, thanks to a recommendation. All in all, I do not think my time in Barcelona would have been as magical if I had not discovered Taller de Tapas in Plaça Josep Oriol. If you are staying in the Gothic quarter it is a must.

    This is a chain that is tourist-friendly with their central locations and their English menus, but also decent in their servings of tapas. They charge a 10% extra on outdoor seating (feels nice and cozy in the Barri Gòtic). We had some patatas bravas (4.35€, firm, not as soft/crispy as I expected), xoricets cidra (chorizos in cider), musclos al vapor (steamed mussels), cansalada (spinach, jamon, and chickpea salad), and amanida alvocat (avocado and arugula salad). There are probably tastier and more authentic tapas elsewhere, but when you're lazy and don't know how to order in local Catalan, this is an easy and decent way out.

    Menu with 5 euro drink I thought I ordered and ended up with 15.50 euro gin and tonic totally unprofessional and sad :(

    Very convenient location -- off Las Ramblas enough to be quiet, but still accessible.

    Oh my goodness this is so good. If I ever go to Barcelona again I would come here…read more Must get: Steak with foie gras on bread 8/10: sooo decadent and luxurious. It's abt 8 euros a piece. Very flavorful and fast experience. Oxtail and mashed potatoes 10/10: the oxtail meet is so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes pair so well with the oxtail. 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! Staff I'm everywhere so it was very easy to order more food. Also we were sitting buy the area where they made dessert and they allowed me to record them making it!! Comfortable ambiance great for date night or casual meals!!!

Not only was his service incredible, but he also gave us amazing recommendations for our upcoming trip to Buenos Aires in two weeks. The food was hands-down our best meal in Barcelona. Every dish felt authentic and full of flavor. Our favorites were the accordion-style baked potato topped with creamy aioli and spicy sauce, and the truffle brie toast, which was completely out of this world. To top it all off, the meal ended with a shot of local acorn liquor as we toasted Jordi, our other server, which also made the whole experience feel so special. And shoutout to Flor behind the bar for the fantastic margaritas and sangria! Thank you, Sabastian, Jordi, and Flor for making our Barcelona trip so unforgettable. We'll be talking about this meal for a long time!

The inside of this place js small but has great decor, you feel like your stepping back into medieval times. It's perfectly at home in the gothic quarter. I had the bread to start with the tomato spread, this was very good. The spicy potato was phenomenal, a smothered baked potato in a nice blend of sauces. Then the sea bass and prawns in a coconut milk based soup...the star. Reminded me of a Thai Tom Kha soup. Overall would highly recommend. If I ever return to Barcelona, I will stop in.

    Walking from Barceloneta Beach, I stumbled upon Pasa Tapas and lured in by a very affordable menu…read moredel dia at lunch. Alas it was pretty average but you do have a variety of options and it came with wine which was a nice bonus. Started with some fideuá but found this paella noodle dish a little one note. Ironically the fried whole fishes, which didn't look very appetizing, were surprisingly decent. Crispy fried and served next to some refreshing salad. A simple flan rounds out the meal on a sweet note. Mostly locals inside. Not a destination stop per se but good value at lunch if you happen to be walking by.

    Did not enjoy my experience at all, if not even ruined my experience with great paella!…read more Disclaimer: I went to this place as part of a Sandeman tapas tour. (Was absolute rubbish and waste of time) The service: minimal Food: Below average paella Portion: I have had bigger tapas for babies Drinks: I have no idea what was served. Some form of watered down alco that's neither here nor there All in all, not a good experience at all. Agree I went with Sandeman so part to blame would be them. But my view is that if you love food, care about your customers, love your business; then care for your brand and don't join crappy partnerships. And if you plan to do that; suck it up and serve proper food!
