Babula Bar 1937

I discovered this wonderful bar by chance and ended up going three times during a one week stay in Eixample. The bar has a cosy atmosphere with dark green, brown and blue colors. It is well lit and literally draws you in to try the skillfully made cocktails and try some of the very tasty food - small plates to share or plates the size of a main course. Don’t miss out on the desserts! I recommend d the cheese cake with crema catalana. The staff works together in a professional and playful way. It is a pleasure to watch them create drinking and eating experiences that stick! I will definitely be back next time in Barcelona!

We visited Babula Bar for our dinner experience. It was one of the best choices to try authentic Spanish cuisine and have an inforgettable experience. I strongly recommend to make a reservation beforehand, as place is quite popular and you may find hard to see free seat. They offer good selection of Tapas, strongly recommended shrimps and salmon ones. Also Sea Bass Anti Seviche was really delicious. As a finish line, I tried Crema Catalana Cheesecake, which is really worth trying. Staff was very attentive, helpful and lovely. Definitely a place, which will live in your heart.

Shout-out to our host of the evening, Laia, who was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was tasty and the overall experience was above average. However, we did feel that the dishes are priced on the higher end. We ordered four tapas and two glasses of white wine each for the two of us, and the total came to €95. If the portions were slightly larger or the prices reduced by around 8%, guests would likely leave feeling even more satisfied. Just our two cents!

We are in Barcelona this time every year and always make sure we eat in this tapas bar. The atmosphere is so relaxing. The food is delicious the range of flavours in everything we ate was just perfect. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, they explain the menu and give great recommendations. We just love everything about it. We can’t wait to be back in it again. These are some of the wonderful dishes we had tonight.

A very delicious and atmospheric restaurant with beautiful presentation. Every dish was truly amazing. The staff are incredibly pleasant, and the interior is stunning. Overall, it’s one of those places you absolutely must visit in Barcelona. Highly recommend!

Our first day in Barcelona couldn’t have ended any better than at this restaurant/bar. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The tartar de atún bluefin and tataki de vaca vieja were out of this world! The cocktails were beautifully balanced as well. It was so amazing that we decided to come back on our very last evening in Barcelona to close our trip here too. I could keep writing praise after praise, but honestly you just have to experience it yourself! A huge thank you to the whole team, and especially Tomas, Coco, Rut, Laia, Emi, and Diego for making it unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back!

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We made reservations on the same day for a group of 6 (it was a Thursday night). Every single plate we ordered was amazing. Cooked to perfection! The service was great too. Our table got a mix of standard cocktails along with their specialty cocktails and we really enjoyed both kinds! Really worth the visit if you’re staying in this area of Barcelona.

I had the pleasure of dining here twice on a recent trip to Barcelona. It was a few blocks from my hotel. The food, hospitality, and wine were spectacular. I highly recommended visiting this restaurant if you are in Barcelona!! I have posted pictures from the two separate dinners. The first time I went with two friends the second time I went alone.

We had the most amazing time at Babula last night. As an American with a severe shellfish allergy it can be quite daunting to try new things when traveling because of the fear of cross contamination. No worries at Babula. The manager took my allergy very seriously and communicated it to the chef, which made me feel so relaxed knowing I didn't have to worry. We had a reservation and were seated outside on their terrace on a beautiful evening. From the time we were seated we had incredible service and food. Their cocktail list is impressive as well as their wine selection BUT oh the food was the star of the evening. Beef Tartare, burrata, cannelloni, charcuterie was all amazing. Watching the tartare being prepared table side was a treat. We finished the meal with mouthwatering cheesecake. The atmosphere was very intimate and romantic and it was the perfect ending to our time in Barcelona. The manager even hailed us a cab when we finished our meal. Service was impeccable we will be back on our next trip. Thanks to the restaurant for making an amazing memory for us.

Loved so many things about this spot! Walking in felt like you were walking into a trendy, jungle restaurant. Lots of fun food options and the drinks were delicious! Would recommend!!

Okay I looked this place up the night before and I was so excited to try it out!!! But I was basically evaded from the premises for arriving before the opening hours. Now to let you all know. The opening hours are from the afternoon. 1 pm- 3 AM. That's 13:00- 3:00. I arrived at noon with the manager giving me a look that told me I needed a reality check, so I took a walk around until 12:50. When I headed back at 12:50, everything was set up already, so I asked if I could sit and wait until they opened. To this the manager( with lit cigarette in hand) replied " no we are closed. Go away. " Fine then.

Not a bad place to have some tapas and some drinks. The inside is very chic shabby . We tried various tapas, and I have to say the eggplant was my favorite as well as the typical tapa plate of Patatas bravas . They do take reservations or walk-ins . The prices were reasonable. Some of the tapas could've been a little bit better but overall, it was a decent experience.

One of the best bars I've ever been to in my entire life! The bartender--or should I say the mixologist--really knew his craft. He genuinely enjoyed making different drinks for us, and we enjoyed every single one! The food was lick-the-plate good, and the service was amazing. If I ever go back to Barcelona, this will be the first place I visit!

Food was outstanding!!! Service was excellent and very helpful with navigating the menu gave great suggestions. Great decor and a fab bar. Drinks were delicious.

Beautiful restaurant near Casa Batlló. We stumbled upon this looking for a restaurant before an event and were able to walk in though reservations are encouraged. All of the staff were warm and helpful. Noise level was low & ambience was perfect. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious & this was our favorite meal in Barcelona. Gluten free friendly as well!

Stopped here the first night we arrived and it set our food expectations extraordinarily high. The food here was so good and so much better than anywhere else we ate at during the trip. 5 stars Picanha carpaccio Steak tataki with foie gras (special) False beef tenderloin wellington 4 stars Oysters Shirmp chips Chinese donut Scallops Grilled octopus Tuna Tataki With Foie Gras 3 stars Salmon spheres Foie gras eel Tuna cubes Egg dessert Catalana brulee

Babula rocked my world. My meal was one of the most memorable of this trip to Spain. The service was excellent, the outdoor patio was charming and my scallops were fantastic. I would definitely eat here again.

Service was very attentive and the ambiance is beautiful. One of the best ceviche I've ever had. The scallops were amazing as well. Everything was delicious and I'll definitely return the next time I visit Barcelona!

Amazing Tapas. All food was perfect and innovative. If you want to eat Tapas lime the locals, I would highly recommend this place. The oxtail melts in your mouth.

This place is a gem! We got here and went straight to the bar and had exceptional service all night long. We had several drinks here and each one was amazing! I had the porn star, aviation and espresso martini and my husband had the Paloma, Dr. pepper and the old but new. These drinks are carefully crafted to perfection and put together by talented bartenders. The staff was so friendly and the ambiance is stunning in this place! I'd definitely check it out!

From the moment you step through the doors of babula, it becomes abundantly clear this is not just a meal -- it's an experience. This elegant gem has an exquisite blend of creativity, precision, and imagination. Lilaya was exceptional at providing service and her passion for culinary artistry is evident in every recommendation, every detail, and every moment.

Excellent tapas. Actually Russian owned. All were very good but the foie put it over the top.

LOVED this place! I can't believe it was so great. We got off the plane, checked into our hotel and were hungry. I just wanted something relatively close to our hotel since I was tired and hungry. A quick yelp search led me to Babula - yes, there's only 3 reviews, but yelp isn't really great for Europe. But it was open and a lot of places were not open on a Monday. We walked in and were told that we could sit at the bar since we didn't have a reservation. The bar was dimly lit and I wish there was more light around the area, but it was still cool. We also got to watch them make a bunch of pretty cool drinks so it was entertaining. Food was excellent - probably my favorite restaurant in Barcelona. The staff were all super kind and warm, and they were english friendly (we do speak some Spanish). We left pretty full and happy!

Amazing service and amazing food! Cozy boutique vibes and really nice decor. All around great experience! We went there twice on vacation!

Absolutely delicious tapas, something for everyone and the servers make recommendations if you're unsure of what to get. Their Sin Nombre signature cocktail is

The most beautiful tapas ever! Very grateful to have found this small gem of a restaurant. Loved the vibe!

We found Babula on a YouTube search before leaving California. This authentic tapas restaurant is named the endearing name of the owner's grandmother. The tapas and cocktails are so great and the staff are friendly. We loved this cozy spot.

This is a gem and must visit in Barcelona. The food is amazing (very creative and tasty) and drinks are even better. Service is above and beyond. We went twice and would have gone back even more if our stay was longer. Definitely order whatever the servers/bartenders recommend. We were also given complimentary truffle nachos with our drinks and a lemon digestif. The Korean-style taco is especially delicious. We sls tried the passion fruit mousse dessert and it was fabulous. Tip: sit at the bar to witness the amazing talent of the bartenders firsthand. And make a reservation because it gets busy!

Sit at the bar and watch the very skilled bartenders. Tapas were excellent. Good people watching too.

The food was good, the service was okay, the prices were high. Seemed high for what we got and other comparable places in the city. Prob won't be back to this one

Went a while ago and had a good experience overall. I found the food to be slightly overpriced but delicious. The bravas sauce was outstanding and a bit spicy, sweet and smoky, and the tartare and scallops were delicious. The only issue I had was the service -- they charged us for an extra scallop dish and then started to argue with us when we informed them of the mistake. It left a sour note on an otherwise good meal.

Not enough words can describe how awesome this place is. The "egg" desert made with chocolate and passion fruit won us over. The house cocktails are extremely savory and amazing. We tried every drink on the house cocktails menu, specially loved the Sr. Mendoza, a old fashioned made with tequila! The food is the right proportion and finger looking good. Definitely one of the top places to eat at in Barcelona

The food is spectacular especially the Tuna Tartar! The service was pleasant and not overbearing made recommendations! The restaurant is warm and inviting!

Babula has amazing food, amazing service, and a great vibe. Went twice in 3 days. Highly recommend.

Service was great and the food was delicious. Such great flavors. Complimentary shots after the meal was also a nice bonus

Keke greeted us and was super professional and gracious! the food , atmosphere and service was exceptional. highly recommend!

The food was great. The waters were funny and nice. The place was cozy and felt good. It is a great restaurant .

The best restaurant in Barcelona. The staff are the kindest and warmest individuals in the country. The food is spectacular, the ambience is out of the world, and the staff will literally go out of their way to make you feel like a million dollars. Kudos on the owner, the waiters, and the chef. recommended for a visit.

Great, romantic atmosphere. Came in without a reservation. Host sat us by the bookshelf. Very pretty waitresses and handsome cooks (according to my wife). Food was excellent - drinks were good too. Some things are a tad overpriced - two pieces of pork chops for 25 Euros - wasn't worth it. Come for the atmosphere.

Shayla made us feel welcome right from the start! Food was good too but we would go back just for Shayla! Such a treasure!
