Entrepanes Diaz

What a fantastic little find, the food was lovely, very fresh, well made and put together. By far the star is the owner/host, made us feel welcome and explained menu well. One of the best meals we had in Barcelona

Enjoyed a delicious fried squid sandwich topped with a well-balanced aioli (regular and squid ink). Spicy tuna cannelloni isn't a pasta dish. It's just spicy tuna cubes topped with perfectly ripe avocado slices and tobiko. Highly recommend!!

Best Catalan tapas in Barcelona. During our trip this place stood out for food, drinks, and atmosphere. The octopus was amazing, it is lightly fried but still tender. The shrimp were also top notch and incredibly fresh. I like to pair my meals with vermouth and my wife loved every drink she had. The staff is amazing and even helped me with my Spanish. The place is smaller and has indoor and outdoor seating making it a very fun experience, we met some fellow travelers. We were very impressed and left very happy, can’t wait to go back someday. You have to try this place if you are in Barcelona.

I found this spot while doing my research, and it turned out to be a good discovery. The service was warm, well-presented, and friendly. Sitting at the window table added to the experience, offering a view of both the interior and exterior simultaneously. The food was tasty overall, although I was a bit let down by the tortilla. I'm accustomed to hearty, thick tortillas, but this one resembled more of a scrambled egg mixed with an omelette. Despite the difference, it was still quite tasty. On the sweet side, the cheesecake was a standout, delivering on flavour. If you appreciate good service and a pleasant dining atmosphere, this place is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a slightly different take on the tortilla dish. And try to reserve, just in case.

I arrived right as they opened and had to wait a few minutes for the kitchen to be ready, but it was worth it. While waiting I had a beer that was poured perfectly and some olives. For the food, I had a jamon and an escalavida croquette, they were both great. I also had the Pollo sandwich, it was so tender and flavorful with the spicy mayo and fresh vegetables. Very good and I would go back several times!

It’s a small restaurant we randomly chose but it turned out to be great choice. We ordered oxtail pasta, calamari sandwich and croquetas. Love them all. Recommended!

Sat outdoors soaking in retro elegance and Barcelona soul. The oxtail sandwich was decadent, the vegetarian fresh and flavorful, and the kebab warmly spiced. Cold beer rounded it out. A spot with nostalgic charm and authentic neighborhood energy—perfect for a refined yet relaxed bite in the city.

Absolutely love the food and brilliant service.

Spectacular service and an exceptional bocadille de calamares. Try this little family-owned gem. You won't regret it!

Approached this spot because every dining patron was clearly NOT a tourist. Free olives inform you that "this is Catalan." Early evening tapas were unique & flavorful. Fun ambia

Really great spot that seems like it's frequented by locals. They have a great menu with tapas, sandwiches, and a couple of large plates. I had an oxtail sandwich. It was small enough to make me want two, but it was delicious. The bravas were great, as were the croquetas.

Very old school vibes. Servers had great recommendations. Entrepanes: Calamares - 5/5 Tapas y Platillos: Croquetas con Pollo - 5/5 Patatas Diaz - 4/5 Postres: Leche Frita con Helado de Pistachio - 4/5 Sandwich was delicious but a tad on the small side, not really worth the 9€ price tag. Croquetas were tasty. Crispy fried outside but soft perfectly cooked inside. The pistachio ice cream was really good. The fried milk was good but lacking a sweetness that really could have brought the dish together.

Nice tapas place/ bar. Waiters were very friendly and gave great recommendations. Good location too with a lot of other cute spots around.

An authentic, local spot in Barcelona known for their infamous 'Bocadillo antxon.' As soon as you get to the restaurant, you can tell that this spot doesn't attract tourists. The ambience gives off the vibes of a local gem. Our waiter George also made our experience a lot more fun! He was interested in getting to know us and shared some of his travel stories with us. The bocadillo antxon is the most popular item on the dish: a sandwich with chorizo and a poached egg, sprinkled with thin fries. I thought it was really good, but there were a few of other dishes that were a lot tastier in my opinion. The bocadillo calamares won me over the bocadillo antxon. It was a simple dish -- a sandwich with calamari topped with catalan aioli and (what looks like) squid ink aioli. I highly recommend it, or try both and compare them for yourself. The buñuelos de calamar was another favorite! It's a squid ink fritter that has a creamy texture inside. Definitely have to try this one! Lastly, the pulpo 3 texturas also deserves a shoutout. The octopus was cooked perfectly. In retrospect, this restaurant had the best octopus out of all the restaurants we ate at on our trip. Overall, the food here was really good, but the service and friendliness from our waiter George is why I'm giving this restaurant 5 stars. We had a great first night in Barcelona. Also, definitely get a bottle of wine with your meal. We got a Botella Montsant for 23 euros, a deal you can't get in other parts of the world.

Over priced. Underwhelming food.. small potion, no sides with the fish I ordered. Totally avoidable . Not the fault of the staff - they were helpful. The place is lousy .find another restaurant.

I came here solo to have a tapas dinner recommended from a friend and it did not disappoint. I was seated inside at the bar. I made a reservation 1.5-2 weeks ahead. I really enjoyed the interior design and the 70s/80s music playing inside. Beware for the summer, there is no a/c so outside might be a bit cooler. My server was Jorge and his service made the experience! He went over the menu with me and had a very lively personality. He was attentive and checked in with me at a good pace for me to enjoy my meal. I ordered the following and it came out in this order: 1. Aperol Spritz: this cocktail was quite strong but was yummy and on point of what a usual aperol spritz tasted like. 2. Patatas Diaz: a must order! The potatoes were cooked with a nice cronch and the sauce gave it a nice heat but not too spicy(mild). 3. Pulpo con maiz en texturas y alioli de lima:the octopus was grilled to perfection! It had a nice smokey taste which the corn textures and aioli complimented. 4. Gambas al ajillo with tomato toast: the prawns were very fresh and im glad i ordered the toast to dip into the oil. Was typical besides the prawn quality. (At this point, I was satiated but wanted to try their oxtail) 5. Glass of Cava: delicious as always 6. Rabo de Buey, oxtail sandwich was good but I personally would not order again. If i had more room in my stomach, I would have ordered the oxtail pasta which my friends recommended to me but, it was on the pricer side of the menu. Overall, I really enjoyed my solo dining experience here for their service and food. Although, it is a bit pricer on the tapas end, it is well worth it.

Amazing. First of all the ambiance is everything. Old colorful floor tiles, bright red stools, distressed looking mirror. The staff wear uniforms of white button-downs with black bow ties and suspenders. We've got fun music, ceiling fans, and funky lighting. Just lots of love for this hole in the wall with minimal seating. Indoors there's about 5 small tables plus some seating at the small bar, and about 5 tables outside too under a tented area, but the smokers outside were not ideal dining neighbors for us. Entre panes literally translates to "between breads," or sandwich, so it's no surprise that Entrepanes Diaz specializes in sandwiches as part of its more extensive menu. We started with prawn tortas, which were super thin and crispy fritters. The flavor reminded us a bit of RI clam cakes. These were not unlike American seafood fritters, but were totally flat and crispy instead of round and puffy. We also tried the pan con tomate, which is a tried and true favorite, and yet it's always slightly different everywhere we have ordered it. These super crisp thin bread pieces are topped with an ample amount of grated tomato, a drizzle of olive oil, and flakes of sea salt to finish. Simple. Our favorite item of the entire evening (drum rolll!) was the beef stew bomba or potato ball. This has a great combination of flavors and textures with a crispy exterior, and soft interior of mashed potato wrapped around a filling of tender stewed beef. The whole shebang sits atop a spicy mayo and is then topped with a drizzle of something sweet, a dark syrup of some kind, but not sure what. Each bite was a medley of magic, just such good flavor from beginning to end. These bombas are popular here at Entrepanes Diaz, and they were some of our favorite bites of the trip! Let's not forget that they are also known for their sandwiches here, hence the name of the restaurant. The sandwiches are actually quite small, so you can easily eat more than one, or supplement as we did with some additional tapas. The calamari sandwich was my favorite of the two sandwiches we tried. It could have used a touch of acid, but I liked the dryer bread texture which held its own quite well against the filling of fried calamari and two alliolis, a traditional and a black squid ink allioli. Overall this was a great presentation and flavor. We also tried the rabo de buey or oxtail sandwich, which was also good but not my favorite of the two. The bun was filled with tender meat and more of the spicy mayo on top. In general the sandwiches were good but a bit over-hyped in my opinion. The bomba was the best item we tried, and it was impossible to stand up next to that. I would happily recommend this place and would love to return someday.

Oh my goodness! This place is just an absolute gem. Not only was the interior and location stunning but the customer service from our waiter was just outstanding. He went above and beyond and treated us like family. We came here for tapas. We started off with olives (again my fiancé's fav) and "pan con tomate" and OMG soo good. It was rediculously delicous. The bread was a little on the crispy side but so fresh and the tomato that was rubbed on was so perfect. Salty, savory and sweetness all on point! We also order the "croqueta de buey" "Beef Crockett" this was absolutely delicious again small portion but packed with so much flavor! It's basically a stuffed potato ball with beef. It's a similar concept to Colombian "papas rellenas" Our waiter recommended coffee to finish off as it is the tradition here in Spain to have coffee and desert at the end of your meal. He went above and beyond and offered to take our picture and provide us with a little back story of the business. Next time we we are in Barcelona I will be sure to stop by to eat and say hello.

Steak tartar, beef stew potato croquet, and sangria. All delish for an early evening tapas pop-in. Sat outside and watched people /traffic. Very cordial waiter. Him not much English, me not much Spanish, but he was a good communicator and kept us up to date and gave good recommendations. Would come again for a chill drink and tapas.

We sat outside and enjoyed our dinner with the locals. Amazing food, great staff and friendly bartender... you can tell they are very passionate and thoughtful.

Came here with my dad for lunch and tried 3 sandwiches - calamares (calamari with squid ink mayo), rabo de buey (oxtail with greens, cheese, and mayo), and antxón (ground pork sausage with poached eggs). The oxtail sandwich was by far the best - the flavorful oxtail gets balanced out by the bitter greens. The calamari sandwich was also very tasty. The antxón is supposedly also popular, but I didn't quite like this one. Service is good and the ambiance is very cozy.

This place is a little amazing and the sandwiches are awesome. We've been a couple of times now and the Oxtail as well as the Calamari, which has an amazing squid ink mayo, are by far our favourites. We are slowly working through the menu. The sandwiches are a good size, but not massive, so you are likely to eat 2 (they cost around €9-€10 each). Both times we've sat outside on the street tables and drink Vermouth and eat the sandwiches. Very good for hangovers. It is not a €€ place as marked and is more a €€€ place, but worth it! Dog friendly.

Great tapas & sandwiches place. Initially we were not sure if to stay for dinner since just sandwiches didn't sound so appealing but we sat at the bar (since the resto was full!), the waiter was very friendly and after a glass of good wine "LA COMEDIA" or 2, we ordered a Calamares sandwich, and then another one, with Croquetas and salad, and everything was really tasty. Also the desert brownies were good. The bill is enclosed. Price quality is good, average tapas at ~€7.5 seem very reasonable you me.

There were quite a few meals we ate during our stay in Barcelona. Entrepanes Diaz was surely one of them. We had several items but the show stopper is the Antxon, a mixture of chistorra (ground chorizo) top with a poached egg and crispy potatoes. The calamari entrepan was also delicious and for dessert the torreja was heavenly. Make this one of your stops when in Barcelona. You will not be disappointed. BTW, we visited Entrepanes Diaz twice.

Pretty cool restaurant that offers a variety of tapas style sandwiches offering from tartar to braised, fish to meat, and cured. Also has its own tapas menu which is pretty classic. All in all its a good spot server was good too. Keep an eye my bill was punched in wrong. I got charged for multiple items on it that i didnt get didnt end up arguing since it was my last day in Barcelona Ps its infront of bar mut which is packed so the server there told us to head across it lol

DELICIOUS food and, as most reviewers have pointed out, excellent service. Ordered a red wine that was cheap and great. Complimentary olives were delivered. We decided on two sandwiches to share - the Calamares and the Antxón. Both were incredible. The bread of the calamari sandwich was crusty and soft at the same time and held a hefty amount of crisp, fried calamares topped with squid ink, mayonnaise, and chives. It was also generously seasoned -- which I appreciate as a salt lover. The Antxón was equally as impressive, with a chorizo type sausage, a poached egg, and shoestring potatoes on a perfectly crusty roll. Prices are high for sandwiches, but they are less like sandwiches and more like delicious dishes held together by great bread. Well worth the price.

Had the sandwiches, Oxtail and Roast Beef were spot on. Portions are small, but great to drop in for a quick bite for lunch and beer. Friendly staff as well..

15€ for seven prawns. nothing accompanying. I gave up when two were bad. second star because olives were good and beer was cold.

Our server was so sweet and patient as we had a difficult time speaking the language. The food was outstanding! Worth the visit.

Probably the best place to stop by and have some 'bocadillos' and some tapas. All superb, delicious and really melt in your mouth. If you go to Barcelona, go there: reasonable price with unbelievable quality. Tip: go early (around 8pm is OK, later will be crowded).
