Another delicious Barcelona restaurant. We were visiting Casa Batlló so it's kind of a tourist-y area and Vinitus was absolutely packed. We were about to walk away because of all the people waiting outside but ended up deciding to put our names down when the hostess said the wait was surprisingly only around 20 mins. I'm so glad we waited because it was really great. Cute restaurant and the food was so good, especially the lobster paella and some toast thing that had beef tenderloin and foie gras on top. This weird codfish with honey dish I was skeptical about turned out to be great. The roasted peppers were maybe my favorite part! The server was very patient with our many questions as well. It was pouring rain but I'd love to go back and sit outside next time! read more

Food was above average,not worth the wait.I don't think I would come back or recommend to a friend

Ok so this might have been our first meal in Barcelona, but I can guarantee it will be one of our favorites. From the tasty 1/2 liter or sangria (for 11 euros!!) to the amazing tapas to the chocolate churros... this place rocked. I HIGHLY recommend the cod with honey aioli and the beef tenderloin on foca. Ugh it's been a whole day and I'm still thinking about this place!!! Also, the wait may look daunting but the place was packed with several people waiting outside and we got a table in roughly 20 min. read more

Vinitus - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

If you like seafood, you will love this place. I've eaten here twice now and a few times at the sister restaurants that this restaurant group owns (Cervceria Catalana, Ciudad Condal, La Flauta). Having eaten three of the four restaurants, Vinitus is my favorite because it's more seafood focused, it's easier to get a seat at the bar, and they haven't jacked up the prices on the same dishes like Ciudad Condal) They have a whole section of fresh seafood that is beautifully displayed on ice by the bar. Order the things that are on the specials for the day. Obviously the menu changes frequently, but here are the things I ordered over 2 separate visits to this restaurant in the spring: - Croquetas - Pretty standard croquetas - they were good and fresh out of the fryer, but pretty similar to what you can get elsewhere. - Grilled razor clams - These were some of my favorites - fresh, flavorful, and you can't get razor clams in a lot of places in the States or in Europe. Definitely get these! They are called "navajas" on the menu. - Grilled Shrimp - All the seafood here is phenomenal - the grilled shrimp was fresh and delicious - get this if they have it on the menu! - Pan con tomate - A staple in Barcelona and you can find this at most restaurants. The pan con tomate here was great - - Fried Anchovies - This is a pretty traditional dish in Barcelona and this comes served with the heads and tails - you can eat all of it. It's not really my thing, and you get a pretty large amount of fried anchovies in this dish. They aren't overly salty, but it's not something I wanted to eat more than 4-5 pieces of. - Fried Calamari - This calamari is the Andalucian kind - not your typical calamari rings you find in the States. The calamari is small, so there's a decent amount of batter to calamari ratio - I found the portion to be a bit big for 2 people - this is better shared amongst 4-6 people. It was good, but just too much in one plate! - Montadito - I got one with jamon serrano and cheese that was grilled and it was delicious. I got this when I was dining solo, so I had to pick smaller things that didn't need sharing. If you're eating solo, the montaditos and smaller seafood skewers on toast are a great choice. - Foie Gras, Mushrooms and Scrambled Eggs - This was just okay, I had a better rendition of this dish at Tapeo. The foie gras was more of a pate texture, not necessarily a seared piece of whole foie gras. I'd pass on this dish and focus more on the other smaller plates / seafood. - Grilled Shrimp Montadito - Had a piece of grilled shrimp on a skewer on top of a piece of toast and it was delicious. You can't go wrong with the seafood here! - Montadito of shrimp + calamari with romesco sauce - I saw someone next to me at the bar eating this, and ordered it. I'm a broken record, but if you like seafood, just get all the grilled seafood dishes and tapas/montaditos that are on the menu. Look around and see what people order to see what looks good, or what is fresh on the ice/display. Desserts: - Crema Calatana (2,95 €)- A cross between a flan/creme brulee, and a very typical dessert in Barcelona. It's a perfect way to end the meal, and perfectly torched on top. Get this! - Torrija Quemada (2,75 €)- I came here a second time by myself and this was amazing - I liked this more than the crema catalana. It was kind of a mix of bread pudding, flan, and custard, and creme brulee all in one. Make sure you get this! I've had torrijas more than 5 times in Spain, and this one was the best one I've had yet. Overall, I've recommended this to so many of my friends who have loved this restaurant. I would come here on every trip to Barcelona, it's definitely one of my favorites and the best out of the 4 restaurants in this restaurant group, for ambiance, seafood, variety on the menu and quality of food, and price. Worth the wait, and one of the best. Definitely come here if you make a trip to Barcelona! read more

During one stretch we ate at Vinitus 3 out of 4 days. All of the food and service has been outstanding. Important tip for non-Spanish speaking guests - gently insist the help of an English speaking server. The regular menu has English sub-notes, but the daily specials lack any translation (that's where much of the good stuff is located). Everything was great, but favorites included: Garlic Red Skewered Shrimp Foie with Apple Confit Artichokes Prepared Three Ways Sardine w/Preserved Tomato Anchovies with Cold Roast Peppers and many more... Have Fun! read more

Que bien se cena en este local, tienen mucha variedad y todo es de calidad, y a buen precio.

We really enjoyed this place. Sangria was amazing! The atmosphere was great with the raw bar, the people, and the service was great. Also, the FOOD was so delicious and fresh. If you ask the servers for recommendations, take their word! Our server recommended us some great dishes. A lot of people said that there are a lot of tourists that come here, but I also think the locals enjoy this place here as well. Overall, we enjoyed this place a lot! read more

Vinitus was really great for tapas and seafood! Everything we ordered was quite delicious and very flavorful. My favorites were the razor clams, the octopus with sweet potatoes, and the cod with a honey aioli. We sat at the bar and got to watch the cooks prepare our food. Quite impressive to watch a team work so well together during the dinner rush. Everyone (servers and cooks) was also so friendly and helpful to give us suggestions from the menu. Will definitely try to come back before the end of my trip! read more

This place is amazing. Food, ambiance, and service are EXCEPTIONAL. I had grilled squid, razor clams, grilled Iberian beef, and fried anchovies. The woman who was sitting next to me shared with me her bacalao con alioli y miel and the lloret de mar ice cream, which were both superb. Will definitely be back! read more

Fantastic tapas and vino. Expect a long wait time (we waited around an hour at 9pm). The hostess was unnecessarily super rude, but our waiter was friendly. The tapas were delicious - everything from the jamon potatas bravas, razor clams, and foie with apple confit was delicious. read more

Great food, great service, best clams I've ever had. A must try if you are in the Eixample area.

Came here on a Friday evening before the dinner crowd. Quiet but our waitress was very attentive and offered great suggestions. The highlight was the codfish with honeyed aioli! read more

I haven't been in years. Not because I didn't like. I loved it. But there is always a long queue and I don't like to wait when I am hungry.

Stumbled upon Vinitus at around 9pm and every restaurant in the area was packed! Pro tip: I learned to put our name down for a table both inside AND outside at every restaurant to shorten wait time. It worked, and we got a table outside. Mid way our meal, the inside host called us. I ate my fill of jamon, chorizo and tomato bread here. Plus plenty of fried anchovies. I'd skip their popular Bacalao (cod dish) next time though. The added sweetness threw me off. read more

The food, wine, service and vibe were all extraordinary. Well worth the wait. The best tapas we had in Barcelona!

So so...hit or miss with the best tapas we had but the staff were super kind and friendly.

Amazing tapas restaurant with friendly English speaking staff. They have a beautiful bar area. An English menu is available, but tapas menu is Spanish only. The Spanish house red wine and Spanish draft beer were excellent. We ate various seafood tapas and beef tenderloin with foie gras was delicious. The long razor clams were fantastic as I normally do not care for tiny round clams. All for $71 euros. I love this place and we'll return before leaving Barcelona. read more

After reading the Yelp reviews for this tapas bar, my partner and I knew we had to check it out. The reviews didn't lie about how crowded it gets though, when we showed up around 7:30 we were told it would be around a 30 minute wait (and it wound up being very close to that before we were seated). Their menu is HUGE, so many tapas to choose from. They've got their whole normal menu as well as tapas of the day, we tried some from both menu and overall I preferred their tapas of the day. We tried the patatas bravas (as one must) and they were good, but not the best version we had during our time in Barcelona. Then we had their mussels galician style, crispy honey vegetables, cockles, and monkfish tail. The mussels were amazing - they still tasted of the ocean and were dressed so lightly that it perfectly complemented their flavor. The cockles were also good, but a little chewy for my partner. The crispy veggies were a lovely suprise because we weren't 100% sure what we were ordering, but we got a huge plate of perfectly crisp veggie chips topped with a sweet balsamic (?) that just really made them so delish. The monkfish tail was also a star, we got the last one of the night and I felt so lucky! It came served on a bed of potatoes and caramelized onions and we both really enjoyed it. We finished our meal with their "bread pudding", after reading the reviews we decided this was a must try. HOLY CANNOLI it was fricken amazing. It was like the best doughnut ever had a baby with creme brulee and that child grew up to be a soft and decadent dessert - one word, wow. Their sangria is also very yummy, we enjoyed that throughout our meal. Overall, a great place to get some very yummy tapas if you don't mind a little bit of a wait for some fantastic food! read more

Came here on a Saturday night around 11pm and there was quite the line. We waited for about 15 minutes for a table for two - not bad at all. We ordered quite the variety of tapas. Everything was great, except for the fried mixed seafood. We ordered the bread pudding for dessert and it was amazing! Hands down one of the best I've had , ever. I almost ordered a second bread pudding. read more

Amazing food! Though be prepared to wait for a long time here (around 45 mins at peak times). We liked this place so much we came back again the next day. We didn't have to wait both times as we arrived at around 6pm. We had the croquettes, the scrambled eggs with potatoes and Iberian ham (my favorite OF ALL TIME), patatas bravas, the mini burger (too small but totally worth it), the tortilla (probably the best I've ever had), the fried cuttlefish which was fresh and the Cava sangria which was quite good as well. The service was amazing, all the staff was friendly and accommodating and spoke great English. Recommend this place 10/10 read more

Each time I've been in Barcelona, I've had to eat multiple meals at this place. It's a little off to the side streets, but probably one of the best tapas places near by with a fantastic vibe and a ton of fun sitting at the bar. I was just there 2 nights ago and sat next to a South Korean traveler that's visited this restaurant 5 out of the 7 nights he was in town! Amazing food and worth a visit! read more

If you don't have reservations, there could be a wait time around 30-40 mins, but it's totally worth it to stop by while you're in Barcelona-- just grab a glass of wine at the bar area and time will fly by. The tapas here are amazing and so delicious. It's honestly now my favorite tapas place in BCN! read more

I was looking for a place that was open around 5 p.m. and asked the hotel concierge where to go she recommended Vinitus. It was located just a short distance from my hotel. They do have an English menu however the special tapus of the day was all in Spanish. I did not understand it however the staff was amazingly accommodating and literally walk me through the display of tapus and explained what each dish was and how it was prepared. I then ordered a lovely grilled pork on a crostini, Spanish sausage with beans an amazingly delicious array of ssuteed mushrooms topped with a runny egg yolk. I also enjoyed their house Rioja and spent less on two glasses of wine then I would have on one back in the States. I enjoyed it so much I return for a second time. This time octopus and razor clams, grilled vegetables and again that lovely grilled pork. Portions are small as it is tapas, but I enjoyed the variety of flavors. Prices are very reasonable. I will bookmark this restaurant and look forward to returning in the future. read more

I am one for elaborate reviews and stories around my experience. But for Vinitus I don't have many words, in fact I was rendered a little speechless. This little piece of heaven has amazing Tapas, brilliant Pintxos and the wines......ah the wines.... The service is polite and around when you need them. Exactly how it should be. Since we didn't meet Vinitus until a couple hours before our flight back to Amsterdam we only visited it once during our stay. But one things is for sure.....Vinitus when I am back in Beautiful Barca, you will be seeing me as you are now my new love! and oh yeah....it is still very reasonably priced :) read more

Love this place. Delicious tapas and fresh seafood. Must get their razor clams - lightly seasoned and juicy. Also love their lobster paella to share (small portion great for two to share and still order other tapas). Sangria is delicious as well although they sell by the pitcher only. Finally, try their Bread Pudding dessert. read more

It was bit disappointing after having been to few tapas places in Sevilla. Maybe we had such high hopes for this place, but the food were decent, not superb. The ambience and the service were great though. Tons of tourists so expect a long wait. read more

So 4 adults go to a Tapas bar and order - 2 bottles of wine, 2 goat cheese salads, 1 bread smeared with tomato, 1 grilled veggies, 1 fried artichoke, 1 fried potatoes, 4 croquettes, 1 cod, 1 cuttlefish and calamari, 1 octopus, 1 muscles, 2 bread pudding, 4 bottles of water and only spent 102 Euro. Everyone shared and came away full and happy we walked the mile from the hotel to eat such amazing food. You must eat here above all other recommendations you receive. The Cod was the guys favorite. read more

This review is long overdue as I was hoping to resolve the issue prior posting my comments...... My family and I have traveled to Spain in July and on our last day in Spain we have decided to eat at Vinitus since it was highly recommended through Yelp. We waited for about 30 minutes prior getting seated. We were glad to be seated less than expected wait time of 45 minutes as there were other groups of people that got there before we did. We were seated downstairs right next to a staircase with a bench attached. Didn't think too much of it until we were done with our meal that my son's backpack was stolen right off of the bench! We have asked the restaurant hosts as well as the waiter to help us contacting the police and to share their surveillance tape with us. They refused and declined to cooperate. They also were in a hurry to rush us out of the restaurant. This all feel suspicious to me as other groups of people had same amount of guests but they offer us the seats instead to them. Just want to forewarn you all that when you are enjoying food please also beware of your surroundings at this restaurant! read more

Great food and service! Mushroom and shrimp risotto was so creamy. We have been here twice and everything we have tried has been very good.

Amazing tapas & diverse menu. The kicker was the staff was so accommodating even though the place with overflowing with customers. Made friends with one of the servers who was a big NBA and Raptors fan. Will definitely revisit when I'm back in Barca. read more

Vinitus is a must visit restaurant in Barcelona. Excellent food, friendly service . Try the sangria de cava

Vinitus was a suggestion from a friend. It was amazing. The service was excellent! They never left a dirty plate on your table. Every tapa was mouth savoring. The prices were very reasonable. The lowest price was 1 euro. The food was so good, we went twice, back to back. read more
