Top 5 Tapas/Small Plates in Catalonia

C/ de Salomó ben Adret, 10, Ciutat Vella, 08002 Barcelona, Spain

“It might feel weird to do a tasting menu with tapas, but it totally worth it! I love every dish, and would definitely come back! …”

Carrer de Santa Llúcia, 13, 17310 Lloret de Mar, Girona, Spain

“Great place! Great location, really close to the center and the beach, One of the best paellas in the city, amazing and refreshing sangria, and most importantly the service is amazing, we were treated like kings.”

Carrer de Santaló, 21, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, 08021 Barcelona, Spain

“Overall was good but I felt there are too many sauces added. The tuna was the star dish, I would rather take this than the salmon. The scallops were tasty but again, too much sauce, the same for the solomillo. Cheesecake was average. The brioche was tasty.”

Carrer de Mossèn Jacint Verdaguer, 2, 17844 Cornellà del Terri, Girona, Spain

“Can Xapas is in a converted 1930s cinema on what passes for the High Street in the small town of Cornella del Terri. Easy to find. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. No problem for Catalan or English speakers. The food was beautiful to the eye and impeccably fresh. Delicious and inventive combinations. We went for the €60 menu and it was more than enough. The €40 was essentially the same but needed hard choices. The tomato and fig salad was spectacular. The baccala was perfectly cooked. All other courses exceeded expectations. Great wine list with lots of local options.”

Carrer de Blai, 53, Sants-Montjuïc, 08004 Barcelona, Spain

“Great gastronomic experience!! Space for good cuisine and a well-chosen wine cellar. We had dinner at the bar (comfortable and friendly). We allowed ourselves to be advised and enjoyed it very much. You need to go there more times to try everything!! Everything we ate was very good. From the menu: duck croquettes...memorable!!! Off the menu: squid tattar with kimchi and carabiner with tripe juice... stunning!!!!! Well-chosen wines by the glass. Price per person: €50. Need to repeat!!!”

Carrer Sant Damià, 14, 08870 Sitges, Barcelona, Spain

“I would go again here. I came in during a busy night. It was just the chef and the waiter and the place was almost full. They both did an excellent job. Though it was extremely busy they maintained a calm atmosphere and excellent service. I can only recommend this place. Please do with patience and time.”

C/ de Martínez de la Rosa, 8, Gràcia, 08012 Barcelona, Spain

“Jose and Sabrina are amazing hosts and the food is incredible. Best value for money fine dining experience in Barcelona for sure. Expect nothing but the best from this amazing restaurant and the service with a personal touch. We had the “surprise” tasting menu with wine pairing and were blown away by the quality and creativity of the plates. Amazing night and incredible dinner, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back 🤩”

Carrer de Grànius, 4, 08224 Terrassa, Barcelona, Spain

“Wow. Amazing food, wine and service. Very tasty. A unique experience of a professional cuisine.”

C/ de Provença, 179, L'Eixample, 08036 Barcelona, Spain

“A lovely and cozy restaurant with excellent food and service! Everything we ate was so delicious. The tomato toast in particular is so simple but SO flavorful and unique. I also thought the prawn carpaccio was not something you’d find elsewhere but so tasty.”

Ctra. de Vic, 56, 08272 Sant Fruitós de Bages, Barcelona, Spain

“The ambiance is clean and crisp, clean starched white table cloth, good crockery and cutlery. The service is friendly and helpful. The gentleman even helped take care of the baby of the couple on the next table so they could eat without interruption, first I've ever seen this! For us, they provided a change of plates, when we asked, in between dishes. We ordered a set menu, which came with a number of taster dishes followed by a main course, dessert and coffee. While on the expensive side, the food portions were generous and tasty. The tasters are just the right amount to make you feel good but leaving you looking forward to what comes next. The dishes follow on one to the next, which is nice but if they wanted they could slow this down just slightly. Overall, while the food is tasty and well balanced, perhaps the use of oil is a bit too generous. For mains, I had the sea bass and Carles had the turbot, both were well cooked and came with the same assortment of side vegetables, a good balance. The turbot was baked and better than the bass, which needed a bit more cooking to crisp the skin A generous selection of desserts, i had Tiramisu and Carles had lioneses. Both were nice. The coffee was strong and a perfect finish to a good meal.”

Carrer Llana, 9, 25717 Josa de Cadí, Lleida, Spain

“It's kind of far from everything but totally worthy. To people who loves discovering food by taste not by stomach (and you leave full 😁👍) …”

C/ de Balmes, 139, L'Eixample, 08008 Barcelona, Spain

“Our favourite restaurant in Barcelona in these days. especially the lunch set price is perfect! and food quality is 10/10! Love the staff!!! They are friendly and cute 🤭 not much tourist so the menu is Spanish only, but I am happy to listen to their explanation haha lovely people”

C/ d'Entença, 60, L'Eixample, 08015 Barcelona, Spain

“We love almost all the dishes, each with a perfect balance between rich flavors and a bit of surprises. Services are good too. The only parts for improvement could be 1) an earlier reminder of the traffic jam due to 3 king parade (taking us 30min to walk around it) and 2) maybe some small celebrations of special date (as we put down this as a bday celebration).”

Carrer d'Amposta, 1, Sants-Montjuïc, 08004 Barcelona, Spain

“Highly recommended! Great staff and food. Red prawn with chickpeas and olives were especially delicious. Staff spoke english and Mark was attentive and polite despite being very busy at the bar. Perfect night to end our Barcelona trip.”

Avinguda Verge de Montserrat, 5, 25243 El Palau d'Anglesola, Lleida, Spain

“When in a town of around 2,000 people in the middle of nowhere you find a restaurant with a menu that could be compared to the ones offered in most of the best restaurants I’ve been anywhere in Europe or the US. Every single meal was extraordinary both in flavor and presentation. I highly recommend the fish croquettes, the cod and the amazing paella. For dessert each offering is a bliss. As usual in this part of Catalonia you need to be patient: service can be a bit slow compared to other parts of the country. Otherwise, a true discovery in a beautiful setting.”

Carrer de Minerva, 6, Gràcia, 08006 Barcelona, Spain

“We were recommended to Berbena by a friend and it did not disappoint! If you can make a reservation as seating is limited. We showed up early for the lunch seating to get on the waitlist and luckily a party had to cancel. As the restaurant doesn’t hold many people it creates a very intimate atmosphere. We loved the open kitchen and seeing the food prep. The staff were lovely! They were so personable and really took interest and invested in each party. Anything we were unsure about they were there with a stellar recommendation. Now to the food 🤤 EVERYTHING we ate was PHENOMENAL! I think we sampled the entire menu and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t like. Every bite was *chefs kiss*! The flavors, the portions, even the timing of the dishes were top notch. We can’t say enough about how truly amazing this restaurant is from top to bottom in every aspect. We will definitely be back!”

C/ de Pau Claris, 97, L'Eixample, 08009 Barcelona, Spain

“Nice interior space. Both entrees were pretty good, and the server was really nice to let me try two whites before liking the latter. Gets really busy after 8pm so go early if you prefer a quieter dining experience.”

Carrer de Can Solà del Pla, 7, 08230 Matadepera, Barcelona, Spain

“No doubt, a cozy place to enjoy work friends. Good food, service and a fantastic terrace for summertime.”

C/ de Bilbao, 79, Sant Martí, 08005 Barcelona, Spain

“Great small plates to share! Very creative dishes, beautiful combination of flavours!”

Avinguda de Canovelles, 55, 08420 Canovelles, Barcelona, Spain

“Fantastic and delicate place. A varied and nice posh menu with delicate exclusive dishes. It seems a regular bar but wait to try it. It will be 5 if the place was with trendy decoration.”
