Bar Raval

Quality time guaranteed! Friendly staff and very nice service. Outside true Kreuzberg vibes near the park. Inside nice ambiance. The goat cheese with honey was outstanding. Big wine selection. Would we come again? Yes!

Excellent value for money, friendly staff and great food/drinks (Negro's €9) Highly recommend the croquettes (all of them), sardines, calamari and crispy octopus all cooked beautifully and al dented not over done, excellent. Only a couple of negatives, a mix up in orders and some errant cigarette smoke flowing in from outside tables through open door but overall very good.

We had an amazing dinner at Bar Raval. The food was outstanding and incredibly fresh, and the wine selection was top-notch. The service deserves special mention as well – the staff were friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Definitely one of the best spots in town for Spanish cuisine and wine. Highly recommended!

Great place and amazing tapas! Customer service is also a reason to come back, 100% recommended!

Cozy and warm Tapas Bar in the heart of Kreuzberg. Wines and service are excellent. You can sit outside and just have a nice glass of wine with some sweet nibbles. Love how welcoming and approachable the place is, even though it looks much fancier it is quite affordable. Standouts were the goat cheese, the octopus and the Croquettes. Though I felt like some of the dishes lacked a little seasoning. But what the food lacked was made up by the warm service and atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a catch up with a big group of friends!

we came here for the 3rd time. the first 2 times (last summer) would have been totally be five stars, all dishes were delicious and they also served txakoli for a short period. This summer, the atmosphere and server are still nice but the food was not as we remembered last year.

Amazing food and drinks, you have to get the chorizo! They also have great vegetarian options. The outside seating was lovely. Overall one of the best tapas I had so far.

A chill place with a relaxed vibe and easygoing staff that made us feel right at home. The food and drinks were great, and we had a fantastic time just enjoying ourselves. I highly recommend trying the beetroot with goat cheese—it was a standout dish! Overall, a great spot to unwind and enjoy some good company.

Horrible horrible service. It's not worth coming here. Go eat at Txokoa instead. They do basque-style tapas at a similar price point with much better service. Or, nearby, there's also Picoteo, which also does more standard Spanish tapas. Bar Raval is bullshit.

Great Tapas with an innovative approach. My highlights were the Tataki de press iberica - pork (beautifully cooked), Goat cheese gratin with honey and a marmalade of tomato and herbs, Eggplant tempura with honey and the Tortilla de patatas

An excellent Spanish small-plate restaurant that has it all: great food and wine selection, friendly staff, and lovely design with lots of outdoor seating when the weather is warm enough. The location is really nice, too, as its right across the street from Görlitzer Park in the heart of Kreuzberg's Wrangelkiez. The extensive menu features lots of traditional tapas as well as more creative ideas. Highlights include baked goat cheese with rosemary and strawberry marmalade, fried eggplant drizzled with honey, and the patatas bravas (fried potatoes). It's not cheap, but won't break the bank and is really worth every penny. I highly recommend this place to both locals and visitors. We take all of our friends here when they come to visit and nobody has ever complained.

Bar Raval is one of those trendy places where you feel lucky to get a table without having a reservation. The interior is a great blend of Berlin coolness and Spanish identity and the The menu offers a wide range of choice from traditional tapas (pan con tomate, tortillas, patatas bravas) to more original items (spinach croquetas, who are delicious btw). I had the vegetarian plate composed of 5 or 6 different tapas. It was ok but I can't say I was wowed. In the country of beer, their wine selection is good enough to be notified. The service was really good, with "bonafide" Spanish waiters and waitresses that switch seamlessly from German to English to Spanish and are very helpful if you need some guidance through the choices. Overall, even if it was a bit pricey for Berlin and the taps were not mind blowing, we had a very good time thanks to the staff, the interior and the "ambiance" of the place.

On my second trip to Berlin, I visited Bar Raval because I remembered having a great experience there almost two years earlier. The quality of the food and service hasn't changed. I loved the chorizo in cider and the eggplant tempura with honey, and the chocolate mi-cuit was well worth the wait (which can be up to twenty minutes, but that would be the case at any restaurant). The wait staff are friendly and generous, doling out smiles and travel tips, and pouring a generous glass of wine to make up for a small misstep. Kreuzberg is a vibrant neighbourhood and this place is definitely a solid bet.

I went here with two friends, the tapas were good, we were hungry so we ordered garlic prawn, boiled octopus, fried cuttlefish, eggplant tempura, potato omelette, and bread with tomato.. and the seafood were really good, especially the prawns!!

Fun, great atmosphere, Very friendly service, I will go back,

Tataki de press iberica- pork is soooooo tender! Strongly recommend! Sweet potato is nice, good prawns and fried cuttlefish! But sweet wine is just okay, a bit like syrup:p price is a bit costly cuz the portion is quite small, nice atmosphere and stuff!

Fabulous tapas. One of our best meals in Berlin. Very very dishes. Each one delicious. Wait staff was very helpful. Our favorite dishes were the fried calamari, the steak, the garlic shrimp, and the goat cheese.Ask the wait staff for advice on dishes. Some of the best tapas anywhere.

It's not particularly cheap but it's very tasty. And the wine is delicious too. Bustling, lively atmosphere and friendly staff. I had a really good time.

Bar Raval is all about the tapas, but the one time I was there, the wine was actually the best thing. That's because the wine was amazing, not because the tapas was lacking. We ordered a bunch of things off the menu, much more than we could possibly eat and felt extravagant for an evening. Only downside: the lighting is way too bright. So don't go if you want to impress someone with your lovely face because this light ain't doing you any favors.

My favorite Tapas place in Berlin.Food is totally yummy here, especially the octopus and squids.I have absolutely no complains about the place.Gives a very tapas bar feel with wooden tables and chairs.The place stays empty early evenings but one can almost never find a place a little later in the evening, when the real Spanish come in for dinner. Good for friends to hang out or a chilled out date.

The best Tapas in Berlin.Food is always fresh and tastes wonderful.Most Tapas restaurants in Berlin do not serve fresh food or seafood.This one has lot of options and the staff are friendly.

Though Bar Raval didn't blow us away, it was a nice spot with good food. It has a very simple but well put together atmosphere. The prices were good and the wine selection was pretty decent. Worth going to if you are staying in the neighborhood, but not sure I would go out of my way to go there.

The food is good, the wine is fine, the ambiente is nice. More classy than most places in the neighborhood but good there is some of the Kind around here!

Very nice Spanish tapas restaurant in Kreuzberg. Easy to find, with good service (for Berlin, anyway). Tapas is mostly spot on. We ordered one of the more inexpensive bottles of wine on the menu, but the quality was still top-notch. We tried about 7 dishes, plus dessert. No duds, but the salad and goat cheese were nothing special, so a disappointment given the price. Some of the other dishes, while tasty on their own, are unfortunately served just as is, no dressings, garnishes or pairings, as I've seen at higher-end tapas restaurants in other countries. It's a shame, as it would be a great chance for a chef to add some creativity to a standard croquette or fried calamari plate. Other dishes were rounded out better, including a delicious rabbit. The star of the night though was the dessert, a deeply dark-chocolatey souffle with in-house made ice cream. The waitress, perhaps aware of our American sensibilities, even came by to apologize for the extra time the kitchen needed to prepare the dish, but the wait was worth it.

The place is becoming kind of hip lately. I really don't get why though. They draw their name from the Barcelona barrio 'El Raval' but that is about the only reference to the real Raval. The tapas are of low quality without much refinement. Wines are average without any distinction. Prices are more on the high side. Sorry to say, but this place has no heart and appears to be primarily a money making machine for the owners given its cool location across from Goerlitzer Park

The food was incredible, the service was incredible, and I would absolutely eat here again. Everyone should visit when they are in Berlin and especially when they want a break from typical German food. Get anything off the favorites menu and you will not be disappointed!!!!

We like it, always great service and tasty munchies! Busy sometimes, but atmosphere counts , no?!

My girlfriend and I were extremely disappointented. We read and heard quite positive reviews about the place but unfortunately discovered quite the contrary. The food is very unimpressive, the staff is nice but the service is slow (there was only 1 waitress for the entire restaurant!) and the prices are way too high for such a mediocre (at best) experience... The worst part is that we came specifically for the paella that they make once a month. As soon as we walked in the door and saw it, we decided to order something else on the menu. Need I say more?

Leckere , wirklich authentische spanische Küche . Die Einrichtung ist retro ,aber zeitlos und wenn voll sehr gemütlich . Der Service hat noch Verbesserungspotential, ist aber freundlich. Wenn du in Kreuzberg bist und Tapas magst ein MUSS !

Lovely atmosphere, full house but the service was so friendly and found us a table as quickly as they could. Not always what you find in Kreuzberg, where 'non-locals' are often treated with disdain, so this was a refreshing change. The beer was great, an amazing one from around the corner in Neukölln which is worth trying. The food was....OK...but nothing really made us leap out of our chairs with excitement. The patatas bravas could have been softer and crunchier on the outside, the gambas con ajillo were a real lowpoint: pale and anaemic and the garlic oil didn't pack a punch. All in all it was a nice evening mainly thanks to the service and atmosphere (and each other's company) but the food was a disappointment, which I hate to say.

Really disappointed! Poor service and food quality. Meatballs and chicken were cold when served and the chorizo was burned.

croquettes, jamon serrano, chorizo, cheese dish, tomato dish ... all fantastic

As spaniard I have to say that after 3 years in Berlin Ive finally found real spanish tapas that taste like in Spain! We were told that the paellas are made by a real valenciano and you can totally feel it in the taste. The waiters are friendly, even if the bar is sometimes too full (in summer it is difficult to get a table outside but they always managed to give us one a.s.a.p). Last time we were there the food took a bit long, but they told us in advance and gave us some extra olives and allioli (garlic mayonaise), they were making this to every table around us so the wait wasnt that horrible. Timbal de escalibada, chocos, pan amb tomaquet, pulpo a la gallega, ensaladilla rusa, croquetas, albondigas, tataki, pimientos de padron I could recommend every tapa of the menu. And for dessert, my favourite: Flan, the best flan I ate in years! I can totally understand why it is always so full. Congrats!
