Bodega Biarritz 1881

Amazing tapas restaurant with a unique concept. Before you enter, you choose how many tapas you want, and then they ask about any allergies or foods you don’t eat. After that, they serve you different small dishes as a surprise, which makes the experience really fun and special. I went the first day for dinner with a colleague from work, and the next day I came back for lunch with a different colleague, that alone says a lot. Both days we chose the biggest portion, and a bottle of wine was included: Bodegas Marqués de Cáceres, Reserva Vendimia Seleccionada, which is a solid wine and excellent value considering the price and quantity. You can also change the wine for sangria and receive four sangrias instead. The atmosphere inside is very warm and truly authentic. If you’re in Barcelona and want tapas, this is definitely the place to go.

I highly recommend you try this restaurant! It was recommended to us by people who live in Barcelona. They have several "couples" options. One was 8 tapas and an appetizer for 45 euros per couple. We chose the next option up which was 55 euros per couple and also included a charcuterie board with two meats, a cheese and tomato bread (yummy). There was another higher option which included alcohol. You can also order sodas and alcohol ala cart with your meal. The restaurant is in Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter). The restaurant is pretty small with a bar area and 7 tables. 5 tables were for couples (2 people) and the other 2 tables could support a party of 3-4. We arrived early by Barcelona standards at 6:30pm and were seated right away. Although when we left at around 7:30om, all tables were full and the bar was pretty full (presumably with people waiting for a table). The food was incredible and did not disappoint at all. Our 8 tapas were all delicious! Two other tables near us also ordered the same menu and they're at tapas were all fairly unique and different from ours. The manager told us that there were about 40 to 50 different tapas that the chef could serve on a given night and would vary across orders. The service was quick, polite and friendly. Enough said. The atmosphere was very cozy and unique (see my pictures on this post). I would definitely go here again. Also, they do not take reservations, so get there early if you don't want a wait. But it would definitely be worth the wait!

We ordered €45 meal set for two people and we absolutely enjoyed every dish. All the staffs were so nice and contently asked if we liked the food or not. (They said if you don’t like anything they can replace it!) We also ordered Sangria and it was DELICIOUS! I would recommend anyone to come here and enjoy amazing Tapas they serve. They don’t let people to make reservations here but we waited for only 5 minutes on Christmas Day.

A surprise hit. Kind of like omakase tapas. We picked the €55 prix fix menu, the middle one and it was a lot of food! Everything tasted great. I especially liked the quail on lime rice. The flavor is amazing. The tables are mostly for 2. A couple of 4 seaters and bar seating. Decor is kind of like a speakeasy library kind of funky and cool. Lighting is red so don’t expect to read in here. It’s excellent value as well.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience Bodega Biarritz 1881 is truly a gem! From the moment you step in, the decor grabs your attention—it's full of character and makes you feel like you're in a special place. They only offer a tasting menu, but don’t worry—you can let them know if you have any food preferences, like avoiding fish or other specific ingredients. Every dish was cooked to perfection and full of incredible flavours. It’s clear the chef puts so much thought into each plate. If you’re looking for a top-notch dining experience, this place should be on your list!

This was honestly the best food of my entire life like these pictures don’t justify how amazing this place was. The servers knew what they were talking about, the atmosphere was so sexy and romantic. When I had my first bite of food it felt like I was having sex. The texture, the taste and the pairings of the food were perfection. They were very quick with the food orders and honestly it’s such a cool concept and I love this place with all my heart I would recommend everyone in the entire earth to come here.

The hype is warranted 👌😊. Pleasantly impressed. Fairly priced, good value and very tasty. Service was warm and attentive. Ambiance cozy, low lights, intimate and not pretentious. I would highly recommend it 😉.

A very belated review but this was one of our favourite restaurants we dined at when we visited a few weeks ago! We lined up for only a short period of time before we were seated with an open window seat! the only option is so dine on a set tapas menu - a few to choose from but we really enjoyed having this option as it meant there was a lot of variety which we wouldn’t normally choose. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the gothic quarter :)
