Babula Bar 1937

Wow what a great place! We enjoyed it so much!!! The food was creative and so so good. They really knew their way in the kitchen and also at the Bar. Our cocktails were amazing and the alcohol was from high quality. The portions are not big but suitable for sharing. Really recommend

Everything was perfect. Food was amazing, tons of choices. Cocktails were delicious. Vibe was great. On top of it all the service was beyond exceptional. We had a huge group and they were happy to accommodate us. Our waitress took care of us with a smile on her face, she was beyond sweet; bartenders were so nice and welcoming as well. Cannot recommend them enough!

We lived in Barcelona for 2 years many years ago and it’s always good to be back and try new restos. This was recommended to me by a girlfriend and it was one of the better tapas restaurants I’ve been to. Firstly this spot knows how to service. Entire staff are welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and detail oriented. They provide genuine service and check in with us to make sure everything is good. Really, their attentiveness deserves some applaud. Secondly, food was superb. We probably would recommend 8/9 dishes we ordered. The beef tartare, codfish, mushrooms, pork taco, and scallops were all fantastic. Not a single dish we didn’t like. There’s a twist on the classic dishes and it all uniquely stands out. Thirdly, cocktails were very good and refreshing. All in all this was a seamless dining experience for us and the setting is gorgeous and intimate. The owner named/dedicated the resto to his grandma and there is a photo of them on top of the bar. I found it has depth while also elegant and refined. Suitable for dates, groups, celebrations. 10/10 must visit in Barcelona

Babula Bar 1937 is a standout culinary destination in Barcelona—think Michelin-star-level presentation and flavors in a cozy, eclectic setting. They’re especially known for their expertly prepared crudos, fish, and meats. The salmon crudo, served in a delicate sphere, was like something from a mouthwatering fantasy—silky, bold, unforgettable. The octopus was incredibly tender, and the roasted eggplant? Magnificent! Their cocktails are equally impressive—classic and signature creations crafted with passion and precision. The bartenders take their time, and it shows. From start to finish, the experience is unrushed, expertly curated, and unforgettable. A must-visit for any serious food lover.

We had such a great time at this restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented and tasty. Every dish we tried was clearly made with care and attention to detail. The cocktails were amazing. Highly recommend trying pornstar martini ! What truly made the evening special, though, was our waiter Ray. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly helpful with recommendations. Service was 10/10. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

I wanted a good cocktail as I was on my way back to my hotel and I happened to stumble upon this place. The service was great and it was a real delight to see the bartenders making the drinks which were also good. I can’t really speak much for the food since I only had one tapas but I would come back!

This was a great recommendation and we're glad we went. Not complicated but elevated and food was prepared table side. We had an amazing beef tartare. We opted for their suggested tapas. Just make sure you ask the price before ordering. We had the wagyu steak and it was thinly sliced and prepared at the table. For the price it was not worth it ($100 or 65 euro). Overall, one of our best dining experiences in Barcelona.

Wow!! The food was fantastic, the flavours and presentation, words cannot describe. The service from all the members was friendly and fantastic. We ordered a selection of many dishes and they brought them out in an order that allowed us to enjoy each dish more than the last! Of all the places we have eaten in Barcelona this was the best!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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 .

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.

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.

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