Out of our 8 days stay in Barcelona, this will be the meal we dream of. We had to visit 2 times because we could NOT stop thinking about these dishes. The Iberico ribs were to die for. 1000/10. The glaze was sweet and tiny bit of tang from the mustard was perfect. The potatoes.... HOW?? It was so crispy and soft in the inside. We tried patatas bravas at many places. None beat these. The aioli was divine, slight heat from the pepper sauce. Chefs kiss. The asparagus tempura was nothing exotic but why was it the most delicious thing ever. With all the strong flavors of the other dishes, the asparagus was a perfect pair. Light, crispy, and just the right amount of crunch and softness. All the other dishes were delicious. I can't wait to come visit again! read more

The best tapa place in downtown Barcelona! Pros - the food is absolutely delicious. Their slow braised rib is a must have if you visit. Great rice dishes and their cannelioni is an absolute delight. Super friendly and attentive staff. Cons - smaller and super popular place so be prepared to wait in line, especially during peak hours Definitely check this place out for amazing tapas and friendly service. My go-to place every-time I visit Barcelona read more

Do not skip this place when you're in Barcelona.m, and you need to have a reservation. The line can reach around the block, especially at night. This was some of the best sangria we had on our entire Spain trip. The ambience is dark and moody, and it's a long skinny room with tables on the right hand side and then bar seating on the left. do not skip the local favorites shown below in photos. Service is fine, just try to speak some spanish and make an effort!! read more

Nice bar with great food. Had several different dishes, all were very good. Service was on point. Good wine list.

10/10 not a place to miss when you're in Barcelona. Don't go there if you don't have a reservation because the wait can be very long and the place looks like a hall closet. Luckily I was able to make a reservation a month in advance but I'm sure you can make it sooner than that (I'm an over planner when it comes to European trips). We ordered about 15 tapas dishes and none of them disappoint. The only one I would skip on is the "meatball" which is $3 euros and mostly fried bread crumbs. But everything else was excellent. Order the "white" sangria called Sangria cava (sparkling sangria). It's a sweet sparkling white wine with fruit. And don't miss out on the passion fruit panna cotta. Best I ever tasted. The service was friendly and quick. read more

Tapeo - This is how small the restaurant is. It kinda wraps around the back but still quite small. - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

We went in the evening, and the restaurant was lively and busy. The fried aubergines with honey and lime were surprisingly the highlight. So simple yet so delicious. The Iberian pork ribs with honey and mustard as well as the grilled leeks were tasty but not groundbreaking. The asparagus tempura with romesco sauce was alright, but I would not order it again. read more

Loved our time at Tapeo and it was hit with the variety of their menu! There is something for everyone on their menu and I loved how quick and efficient they execute in bringing out food; I was very impressed as an American in Spain and expecting no speed. It was much appreciated because I was hangry. Haha Their lobster fried rice was so good and a top favorite. Their house wine was really good too. read more

Tapeo - Beef tenderloin tapas with fois gras .. 7/10 - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Wow is all I can say. Quick walk from hotel the day we landed. Tried the red sangria, beef cheeks, skirt steak, mushroom / sausage cannelloni, and the bombeta (sp?) everything was amazing! Service on point- they even let us. Try the cured ham leg (taste like prosciutto). Meal was very reasonably priced and I could eat here daily. Highly recommend! Tip, several English speakers left because they though the wait time was an hour. Open seats were avail - and limited to an hour per seat :) Highly recommend!!! read more

Tapeo - Red Sangria- Large - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

This place was packed.. 30 mins wait at 9:30 pm.. . Forgot people like to socialize late here. I was hungry and had good reviews so I thought I give it a try. Nice atmosphere little too small for my take.. Not much room to move around other than sit, eat, and drink. Ordered the house vermut and sangria.. This place vermut best so far. Ordered beef cheek, beef ribs, and cuttlefish pasta. Beef cheek was not bad. Very rich and I could not for the life of me figure out what sauce it was topped with.. Taste was not bad but nothing crazy. Beef ribs came with 2 small ribs but the flavor was similar to beef cheek and also very rich. Cuttlefish pasta was pretty good. You get what you order.. Very strong cuttlefish flavor. Again pretty good but nothing crazy good. Over all it was fun experience, friendly staff decent food. I give 3 star for food but over all atmosphere and service I give it a 4.. It was nice tapa bar to try out. read more

Loved this place. Excellent service and great tapas. Busy yet cozy setting. We had a variety of tapas. The fried asparagus were excellent: crispy, light, and great way to start. We then moved on to the beef cheeks: rich, indulgent, meaty. We decided to the try the Bombeta (sp?) which we enjoyed. It had a flaky outside crust and just the right hint of spice. The tortellini was good. A lot of the food we ordered was heavier and I may have picked something else if given then chance but still enjoyed it. The pasta tasted homemade and great flavors and balance. Lastly the mushroom, quail egg, foie gras was great. This was the last thing we enjoyed before dessert and I was so full this was hard to get down. I might start with it first. For desert, we enjoyed the Catalan cream. Nice light desert, almost a cross between a mouse and whip cream. Excellent way to finish the meal. Make sure you make reservations in advance. This place quickly books out. read more

The tapas was TOP NOTCH. Explosion of flavors!! My favorite was the veal with marrow, the slow cooked marinated pork belly, and the steak with chimichurri. It's hard for me to say that because everything was so delicious. Service was fast and easy. Resy via Google. Got seated right when we got there. Nicer tapas place. Bigger inside than it looks. Definitely a GREAT choice for tapas! read more

Came and tried this tapas bar in the Gothic quarter. I was a bit skeptical because if it's location but it did not disappoint. In fact it was one of the best meals in Barcelona. We ordered the bombeta it was a spicy ground pork croquette. Outside was so crispy and inside so tender and tasty. It reminded me of a fried shepherds pie. Ox tail with santa pau beans. The ox tail came off the bone but in one whole piece. It was so tender and soft. Glazed beef cheek and beef ribs were fork tender and properly braised. The beef rib came off the bone and came with roasted garlic which added a nice sweetness when eaten together. We got the grilled leek confit with olive paste which went well as an an added veg to each of the meat dishes. I also had a house vermouth which was really nice. I believe it came with orange zest and olives. It was sweet and had a nice citrusy flavor. Tapeo seems to have a bit of a Japanese influence with the soy marinated beef rib, tempura asparagus, yakisoba veggies and mushrooms. I like Cervesaria Catalonia for seafood based tapas and Tapeo for meat based tapas. This place was crowded but we got sat right away at the bar, service was friendly and helpful and they spoke perfect English. It's a tight squeeze but so worth it. Highly recommend this place. read more

My family and I enjoyed the food here at Tapeo during lunch. The short ribs were so tender and juicy and the patatas bravas were delicious!

We had an amazing meal and service. We were visiting and looked on yelp for a non tourist place and this was it. Busy busy but we got squished in to the bar. Although busy the staff treated us very well and we never felt rushed. Now the important part The FOOD.. it was delish! We had pork that was perfect and delish croquettes. The chocolate dessert with salt and olive oil oh my and have it with a glass of sweet port! read more

Best restaurant I've ever been to. Ever. My boyfriend and I were visiting Barcelona for 5 days and ate here twice because it was just that good. The place is really small, so I would recommend making a reservation. We made a reservation the first time we went and were seated right away. The second time we went, we didn't have a reservation, and had to wait about an hour on a weekday. However, it's entirely worth the wait if you're not able to get a reservation! Items that completely blew me out of the water: - Iberican pork belly - patatas bravas (GET THESE. The best patatas bravas EVER) - Iberian ham croquettes - cuttle fish fideua pasta - grilled octopus with chickpeas - skirt steak with chimichurri - chocolate with bread, olive oil, and salt The only thing that was okay was the grilled rabbit with snails. It was just slightly lacking in flavor and wasn't for me since the rabbit was a little mushy. For drinks, we got a pitcher of the cava sangria the first visit, and a pitcher of the red wine sangria the second visit. I preferred the cava since the red was a little too sweet for my liking. I'm definitely returning to Tapeo the next time I'm in Barcelona. Until then, I'll just dream about it 6,000 miles away. read more

Upon walking in, this place was mostly empty with a few customers. Then 15 minutes later the place was almost full. Despite the rush of customers, service was quick and attentive. The asparagus tempura, sea bass ceviche and beef cheeks were excellent. The asparagus was thick and nicely fried. The ceviche was fresh with a nice heat from kimchi juice and the cheeks were tender and rich. My only criticism was the beef was a bit salty, but after removing some of the glaze, it tasted better and the potatoes that it came with help cut through the saltiness. The place is dim, modern and intimate. This was not traditional tapas, but more creative and upscale. The ceviche was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. This was my favorite dish. Service was friendly and polite. read more

Great tapas place in the old gothic born neighborhood of Barcelona. The service was fairly standard, and the ambiance was nice and slightly above par of other similar establishments: typical small interior, clean, well kept, and looked on the fancier side. The reason to come here is for the food and it does not disappoint. There are definitely some dishes which are better than others; the highlights for me were the oysters (might be top 3 I've ever had), skirt steak, and the burratta (I recommend to order coca bread to spread it on). The cuttlefish pasta was also good, and the only thing I wouldn't order again is the patatas bravas (which I only ordered based on some of the raved yelp reviews) as they were basic and just weren't that impressive (or simply didn't live up to the hype). Prices are reasonable and comparable to other tapas joints in the area. Although you might get lucky with a walk-in, this place takes advance reservations and I strongly recommend going that route if you're looking to try this place out. read more

Great food and great service! This place was super packed on a Sunday night. The Iberian ribs, the cuttlefish pasta were both amazing. Skirt steak was pretty food, but not my absolute favorite. read more

Very good service was great but very noisy and small place good for a quick bite I would definitely come back

This is a tapas style restaurant. First off, I'd recommend making a reservation. I waited over an hour for a table and only did so because of the high ratings. The food was above average and well prepared. The dishes were flavorful and decent sized portions. The bombeta, patatas bravas, asparagus tempura, and beef skirt steak were really good, and I'd have these again. The fried eggplant with goat cheese and honey wasn't bad but exactly what it sounds like. The restaurant is small and a little crowded but I think it adds to its personality. The service was really good and the food comes from various stations so it was fast and kept coming. I'd come here again but read the first paragraph again. I'd definitely make a reservation before I came here. read more

The ribs here are amazing. Id fly back for another order located in the heart of the gothic district this little gem is a must try

I was on a hunt to find some good fideua, so TripAdvisor and Yelp came in handy. I made a reservation for two, but it seemed we didn't really need it. We walked in, and the bartender motioned us to have a seat at a free table. The bar is small, as you'd expect in Barcelona. It can get quite loud, depending on other patrons. Most tables seat two, but there is one larger table that'll fit maybe 4 comfortably. Masks are worn by staff. We were given English menus, and the server spoke (American?) English. I feel that the portions were small for the price, although the food did taste somewhat good. We ordered three items, which came out to a little over €30 for two people, but it wasn't even a full meal. The Iberian pork ribs was the best item we ordered. It was very sweet and sticky due to the honey. The beef cheek was so salty, and the sea urchin fideua was overpowered by the fishy taste. Maybe the cuttlefish fideua would have tasted better. This isn't a tapas bar that I'd come back to if/when I am back in Barcelona as the options are endless in the area. It was nice to try. read more

Super fun place to enjoy a late dinner. When I arrived, there was a small line, but it didn't take too long for me to get seated. It did however, take some time to receive any help when I sat down.

Felt like a pretty touristy spot, evidenced by the inclusion of hamburgers and a lot of potatoes on the menu. Most of the other tables were speaking English. Prices are pretty high... everything is quite expensive. Jamon board: Jamon is always solid. You can't go wrong with it. The only thing you can go wrong with is the price, which in this case was expensive.. Cheese board: half of the cheeses tasted the same. The idiazabal was nice. They were stingy on the breadsticks. They were stingy on the cheese as well. This was a really pathetic cheeseboard for 16 euros. Bombeta: Average Croquetas: Average Steak w/ chimichurri: Juicy and rich steak. Calamari: This grilled squid was pretty solid. I'd recommend this one. Truffled Eggs: Pretty good, but seems unnecessary unless you really like truffles Veal: was pretty good, but I wouldn't even have known it was veal if you didn't tell me. (Not to mention the ethical concerns with eating veal) Overall, most things were good. It's just quite expensive and a lot of menu items look like they're catering more towards the tourist crowd. The most important thing to know is that this restaurant is directly across from another restaurant called Xampanyet, which is far superior to Tapeo. Even though Tapeo is a solid choice, if you're already in that area, you might as well go for Xampanyet. There's a stark difference, as there's usually a large line to get into Xampanyet while there is no such line for Tapeo. read more

Food was very good. We had Rabo de toro, canelones and patatas bravas. Every thing was delicious. Place is very small and crowded.

High quality tapas. Not much else to say. Highly recommended, Go classic with Iberian ham, or try some creative house specials.

Absolutely my favorite experience while visiting Barcelona! Wayyyyy better than the Michelin Restaurant as well. The food was exceptional, superb value and exceeded my expectations. Would pay double for what this place served. Huge servings, quality ingredients and I just couldn't stop ordering and eating. The foie burger was juicy and foie cooked properly. The chimichurri steak had a spice factor and cooked to perfection. read more

This was my bf's favorite place and you know all the food in spain was fantastic. I do feel it was pricier than the others but being so close to picasso museum probably contributed to that. plates were small and around 12-15$ approx. the honey short ribs were phenomenal. good definitely order 5 plates of just that and be so happy. he said it was possibly the best meat item he had in spain. the flavor and how soft the meat was, ridiculous. don't know how they achieved this. it's fantastic. read more
