After reading the reviews I was really excited to dine here for tapas our last night in Barcelona. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype - maybe it was just an off night. The croquetas were still cold in the middle - clearly not fully cooked. The other dishes lacked flavor, including the octopus, which was such a bummer. On a plus side - the sangria was good. read more

The atmosphere was fantastic, the service was wonderful seedlings and the food was divine. We found this place on Yelp and had to go back a second time before we left Barcelona. read more

Kind of a busy, touristy place the portions seemed small even for a tapas restaurant and the food was just okay. It might've been a better value if we had more people but with just two people 3 dishes and drinks weren't enough to satisfy. Its still a nice place with good atmosphere and fast service but theres definitely better tapas in Barcelona. read more

Our second tapa's experience on our first trip to Barcelona and after staying for a month and trying many other Tapa's bars this by far was one of my favorites. We got there early (7:00) to avoid a long wait and it was crowed and ended up waiting about 30 minutes, but so worth the wait. read more

I've walked by many times and Vinitus seemed to always be bustling. Came for tapas one night with my mother and it was absolutely delicious! The service is amazing, all of the waiters are sweet and funny. The food is delicious, and not too pricey. I highly recommend the crunchy Camembert. Also they have plenty of seating so there's a good chance to get a table! read more

4.2 stars for the vibe, 3.5 stars for food. The food were way too salty and greasy. I wouldn't refer this place if you have a lighter/healthier diet. read more

After 3 weeks in Spain eating out twice a day, this is probably the best overall restaurant we tried. The menu is diverse: so many options. And we tried many. From a simple grilled vegetable plate that was cooked and seasoned perfectly to a more sophisticated foie with apple confit dish that was indescribably fantastic. My kids learned to love croquettes here; they just seemed to have the touch of getting the flavor and frying just right. We tried croquettes at a half a dozen other restaurants on our travels and we finally gave up as nothing ever measured up. The service is first rate. The restaurant is new, modern and has a great lively feel to it. It does get crowded but that makes sense given the quality of the food. All this and the prices are really reasonable. read more

Adding my voice to the horde. This place was both amazing and decently priced. Amazing amazing food. Quick attentive service. Fantastic all around. read more

Vinitus - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

We wanted tapas upon arriving to Barcelona after a long travel day. Other reviewers made me feel that our early dinner arrival here would not be looked down upon and they were right. The top portion of the restaurant was already quite full by 7pm so we were seated downstairs which was still beautiful. I was a little nervous at first because of the clearly touristy crowd; however the tapas themselves were fantastic. The patatas bravas were some of the best we've ever had (definitely no shortcuts taken to roast and cook them perfectly). We also devoured the crispy artichoke hearts (we had to keep reminding ourselves these weren't potato chips because they were so perfectly crispy and salty and addictive!). Add a half (or full!) carafe of their sangria to complete your Spanish tapas experience! read more

The tapas at Vinitus were excellent and so was the service. We were able to get a taste of all things Barcelona, especially the Crema Catalan. Crema Catalan is a family favorite, and the Vinitus Crema Catalan was amazing! They are extremely popular, so get there before 8 PM if you don't want to wait. read more

We were a little worried coming here because it is definitely one of the more reviewed places in Barcelona - so there's always a risk of it being very touristy (although we were tourists too...sorry). But, rejoice, the food was really good. My favourites were the anchovies and the jamon plate. Perfect with the pan con tomate and some nice cold beer. read more

Vinitus - Tapas Bars Near Me - Barcelona, B

Ended up at this place since we couldn't get seated at Cervecería Catalana, which is a very popular tapas bar on Carrer de Mallorca. The girl at Cervecería Catalana directed us to Vinitus, saying that "the food there is as good as here". Though some in our big group of about 15 were initially pessimistic, we thought of giving it a try. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and service. They serve excellent tapas and have a decent selection of wines. The icing on the cake was the dessert. My only gripe is that they don't serve big bottles of water! If you are in Barcelona and like tapas, you should try this place. read more

Same owner as cerveseria catalana, long wait to get seated, but food is amazing and good pricing.

The food is high quality and delicious. Definitely full of tourists, but the food is good! If you're looking for a hole in the wall experience- this is not your place. But if that turns you off, you really can't order anything bad here. Dessert here is delicious as well- the carrot cake was wonderful! read more

Really delicious and affordable. Great service. Went for lunch time, did not have to wait too long.

This place was an awesome experience as our first stop into Barcelona! The tapas were amazing and every dish was excellent, the dessert was my favorite! This place a must when visiting BCN - they will not disappoint! Enjoy! read more

Amazing food and service! Definitely would come back and recommend this place to our friends if they come to visit Barcelona!

Nice tapas bar off the Ramblas. Good mix of people and reasonably busy and buzzing- many locals. I guessed folks working in the area enjoying late afternoon tapas and wine on a Friday afternoon before going home. Had a steak Mondadori, fried fish, calamari etc, jambon iberico, spicy gambas and an omelette. Alll were delicious - wine by glass selection was limited and not great...that's my only complaint especially for a place called Vinitus. Really need to buy by the bottle :-) service was good. read more

This hot spot in Barcelona was nearly as good as the Catalano. No regrets, however-excellent tapas all around. Sardines were the best!! Fun for people watching too. read more

I visited this place based off the reviews and let me tell you they are well earned. From the ambience, to the wait staff everything was perfect. I went around 7:30 pm and they were crazy busy. Nobody seemed flustered and the hostess sat people efficiently. I dined alone so I thought they were going to stick me in a far off back corner. Nope! My waitress answered all my questions though I had very few because the menu was very descriptive. I had the ham w/ croissant, mini veggies with romesco sauce and calamari. Delicious is all I can say. I topped it off with churros and strawberries w/ orange juice! Perfect. I told the waiter I plan to return and he mentioned that they serve paella from 1:30-4:30 so I'll be making a return visit. read more

Tied for my favorite meal in Barcelona, Vinitus had amazingly fresh and delicious seafood items. For me, the razor neck clams were the standout winner. The foie gras was also tasty (and cheap!), though my friends liked it than I did. Call ahead as this place is super popular with locals abd travelers alike, and often has a wait. read more

Amazing food, great ambiance , the tapas are great ,but the octopus is a must at vinitus, good service and super razonables prices for this wonderful restaurant. A place at barcelona read more

Vinitus could not have been better! We enjoyed dinner here twice and cannot wait to return. All of the tapas were amazing, even the desserts. (Try the Beef & Foie, Asparagus and Mushroom, and Three-Texture Chocolate.) Staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend! read more

Amazing tapas in Barcelona! Ironically (and out of all the restaurants in Barcelona) we ate at their sister restaurant for afternoon tapas and here for dinner! The restaurant was clean and well decorated, staff was friendly and spoke English, the food and food presentation was amazing! Loved this spot and would say it is well worth the wait! read more

3.75 stars... Like to give it more but didn't get to try too many dishes. Cool little joint. Good food, good size restaurant with sidewalk seating. Good service.. Clams and Calamari dishes I had were pretty good (see photos). Like I said, I let them pick and it was pretty good. read more

Was weary of the overwhelming busy appearance when we walked in. Put our name on the list and waited about 20-30 minutes for our table, right on target with what we were quoted. So glad we stayed, service at our table was phenomenal but hands down the BEST tapas of our trip! Try the razor clams, shrimp with garlic (so good we ordered another round), fried artichoke slices and cuddle fish. The bread pudding was to die for. Total bill for 2 including drinks, tapas and desserts was $77 euros, not bad at all!!! read more

Amazig tapas! This is a must go if you are in Barcelona. Nice, small place that is a favorite with the locals and has a wide variety of foods. read more

Stopped for lunch after a busy morning touring the City. We sat downstairs which proved to be much cooler than upstairs. We had a magnificent goat cheese salad, tempura perfectly light and crispy, tender pieces of meat on toast. But the very best was the chocolate on toast with salt OMG the best dessert I've had in the three weeks in Spain. read more

This place was SO amazing! Very fresh seafood (huge, tasty mussels, beautifully cooked lobster, tender calamari). The bread pudding is amazing! It's like a mix of creme brûlée with crunchy top and bread around it. Give it a shot!! We really enjoyed it, and the place was hopping when many other tapas bars were not read more

We were there Sept 26 2018, this was one of the best restaurant we visited. I am impressed with the flavor, the food presentation, the drinks , hostess who seated us and the ambience. Everything we ordered were good!! Nothing disappoint. Make sure you order the Sangria too, the best I've tried. Some of the tapas we ordered codfish with honey, baby squid, razor clam, fried small fish, red shrimp, assortment tapas . There's so many restaurant to choose from in Barcelona but I am glad we waited for this one. It's about an hour wait because we went around 8 pm . It's worth the wait though! read more

Overall the food was good, however there were some quality slip ups here and there. We ordered a sangria and ended up getting a fly in it. To me it was no big deal, however I was very negatively surprised when the waiter gave us an attitude when we asked for a new one. Also, for a restaurant with that high of a reputation, I wasn't expecting to find poop lines in my shrimps. Other than that I would recommend this place. A tip is to show up a bit earlier as some of the popular items go pretty quick. read more

Tapas at its freshest and most flavorful. The menu is diverse and can please people who love and hate most things. If you don't like seafood no problem , have a delicious cheese toast or frois gras or so many other options to choose. For dessert we just had the creme brûlée which they just describe as cream with burnt sugar. I had a friend that hates it try a taste and she loved it. Staff are friendly and accommodating to your needs. They did not make fun of our broken Spanish and we actually learned a few more words to get us through! read more

I have visited this restaurant several times over the course of my travels in the last few years. I brought two people to Vinitus who had never been to Barcelona before. It started off good, as it's not unusual for the place to be packed and the wait was very reasonable. Once seated, the experience declined quickly. We ordered wine and water. Then a couple of starter tapas. The tapas showed up... the drinks did not. After asking twice for something to drink, our incompetent waiter finally brought wine. Mine was not what I ordered, and this waiter tried to talk me into what he brought. Like I don't know wine. Big mistake. He acted so put out to bring me what I ordered! And still, no water. 3rd time asking, finally we got water. Midway through the first round of tapas, ( one of which I never got until the END of the sitting... again him trying to convince us when we are supposed to eat this particular tapa..) we ordered another batch of savory and main type tapas plates. Because there were three of us, we ordered THREE of each. Only two were brought to the table. Asking where the third one was, this "waiter" snipped.." you only ordered two." I'm not daft, I was sitting there when we ordered three. He literally rolled his eyes and sniffed loudly when we insisted that we ordered three. Absolutely unacceptable. Fired on the spot if he worked for me! I've never had such horrible service in such a nice place. He basically ruined the place for the newcomers I brought there. Really good food, but the experience was ruined by an entitled surly jerk of a waiter! Date of visit : 2045, 26July 2019. Outside seating. read more

We were excited to visit Vinitus while in Barcelona. Our hostess Michelle gave tables based on ethnicity and language to those arriving after us. About 10 other people arriving after us got their table while our name kept being pushed down the list. We decided to stick it out, because it was the food that would matter. Unfortunately, the prawns were stale and peppers were overcooked. Tapas were very average - the only saving grace was average wine and ambience. After waiting over 40 minutes, being badly treated by Michelle, the terrible hostess and spending over 50 Euros on bad quality food, we have decided never to return or recommend. Stay away! read more
