GiGi von tapas

I stumbled on to this little place and loved it so much i had to comeback the night. It’s a completely fresh and unique taste on tapas especially the fried eggplant and the shrimp. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. The Irish girl from Kerry absolutely rocked as everything she recommended was 10 out of 10! I absolutely enjoyed everything ordered.

Gigi von Tapas was an absolute treat! The food was packed with flavour and offered a variety of tapas dishes from around the world. Lots of veggie and vegan options as well - always a bonus! We had an incredible variety of dishes—everything from crispy chicken wings to perfectly charred cabbage. The chicken and toasted aubergine were insanely good. And their sangria was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a leisurely meal. The staff were friendly, and service was great until it got really busy and got a little slow. Worth a stop if you’re in the area!

Nice staff, royale Benedict and the tacos were delicious. Didn’t break the bank but a tad more expensive than other shops, still worth it! I sat inside but there was seating outdoors. One stop over from sagrada on the metro, can easily walk back and enjoy the streets and sun. 5/5

The food was absolutely phenomenal!! We tried quite a few items and we highly recommend all - Salmón fresco marinado, Cordero cocinado a fuego lento, Alitas de pollo “sticky” estilo japonès, and more - you really will enjoy all! Looking forward to coming back while we’re here - thank you for the excellent service - oh and the mulled wine - just delicious!

They claim to have the best tapas in Barcelona. I cannot refute that claim. My order included a beautiful salad, and shrimp with a delicious garlic sauce and pieces of Mexican tortilla to wrap the shrimp, but the black rice flavored with lemon accompanied by shrimp was a standout. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices are reasonable, even modest for the quality. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. I was dining alone so I chose to sit at the bar. I recommend to any traveler wishing excellent, gourmet, creative dishes at modest cost and fine casual atmosphere.

Very kind and friendly staff who made us family felt very welcomed on our first day in Barcelona! :) also the sangria and tall hot chocolate is super delicious

The service & tapas are unparalleled. This place is truly a treasure to have found. Our server was Will and he was extremely professional, efficient and spoke very good English. We only took pictures of some of the amazing dishes as we ate the rest too quickly! Special recognition to the kitchen staff who not only made excellent food but were sincerely like artists in their presentation.

The tapas were great, especially the meatballs and tacos. The atmosphere was chill and the service was attentive and cheerful. Thank you Will and Ian!

Seat wait was pretty fast, nice and welcoming, very accommodating! The place has a rustic feel, the lights are dim and overall very chill, good ambiance. They are open late so plenty of time to eat. The staff was very nice, they spoke english which is a plus to ask any questions regarding the menu. They have some non-alcoholic options like mock-tails besides regular cocktails and beer. The food was delish, we ordered a bunch of tapas and everything was so tasty, and good portions too, worth every penny, will definitely be coming back!

The best thing here is the drunken prawns. NUTS! The flavors and the butter and mix is to die for. Get it! Everything else is satisfactory. The long pieces of bread with a middle eastern tzatziki taste dip in the middle is also good. Very kind and funny servers who all speak English.

this place is more like a 2.5 out of 5 stars. we finished walking around the La Sagrada Familia and was looking for a tapas place nearby. we saw that this location had tapas on google maps, so we decided to walk here to check it out. honestly this place is a letdown. the menu was lacking and the service wasn't that good. We did get seated fairly quickly, but it took forever for them to come around to get our order, and it took a while for them to get out checks. as for the food, i ordered a russian salad, potato wedges and bread tomato. the bread tomato was deconstructed and very sad. the russian salad with anchovies was similar to potato salad. The best thing was the potato wedges with spicy sauce. i would skip this place and find something else.

Wonderful service and delicious tapas. Second time here. Outstanding food and service

We tried the bread accompaniment, the endive salad, the miso salmon, and both croquettes. Every dish was good, and I would order it again. I thought the prices were reasonable as well. The service was great, and fast (although it was not too busy at 7 pm on a Monday). We informed our server of allergies and he took extra care to ask clarifying questions and confirmed with the chef. All servers spoke English very well. I'd definitely come back here again.

I feel bad writing this review since the server seemed to be running around, but the day we came here it was packed outside with just one waitress. The food was not great. I think it's hard when you go to a million tapas places in a week, get the same dishes and then can compare some that are fine and some that are unbelievable. We tried the tomato bread (which tasted like old stale bread), the croquettes (which were fine), a farro salad and an eggplant dish. The eggplant was so fried that it was almost a challenge to eat. The outdoor seating is great, but maybe we'd tried different dishes on our next visit here.

Great spot with outdoor seating for tapas, super close to my family's Barcelona Airbnb and the Monumental subway station. They were able to seat my family of six right away outside (only wish they had more than two heat lamps so we could have had one too) on Saturday evening around 8 p.m. I believe. We ordered Gigi's fries, huevos rotos, drunken prawns, braised lamb, pan fried chorizo, and the shishito peppers (pimientos padron). I think we also ordered the tacos and the calamari after our initial order. We never got our prawns but that's okay since we had enough to eat. They kindly did not charge us for three hot waters with lemon (most other places in Spain charged for this). Food was good and service was friendly and relatively fast, except for the tacos which our server apologized for the wait.

Great tapas spot, especially for vegetarians! Lots of food in Barcelona (especially tapas) is usually meat heavy but gigi's has a lot of yummy veggie-friendly option which I love. The gyozas are my fav! And the sangria is fire too.

Great spot for amazing tapas. One of my absolutely favorite restaurants in Barcelona!

Good sangria & great tapas. Iberica ham was outstanding , great cheese selection. Wonderful wings

10/10, would highly recommend as a MUST for Barcelona! The food is absolutely spectacular, get the gyozas! Our server, Fabio was incredible. Amazing recommendations and excellent hospitality, left behind a bag and he kept it for us!

My first tapas experience in Barcelona was ruined by an astounding hour wait time for the staff to ask me if I wanted anything else to eat, when I hadn't eaten anything. Then a further wait before my food was started, prepared, and delivered. This has been my only negative experience in Barcelona so far. Sadly they made no offer of any discount on the bill for the mistake. Unfortunate, because if the service had been better I would have loved to return here. There are too many delicious things to eat in this great city to waste more time returning somewhere like this. Check out the excellent Pasta Market instead.

Great place to brunch! They have many options for vegan and many drinks to try. The only reason I'm not giving 5* is because the patio is situated on a busy street. I strongly recommend that you try this place if you're visiting Barcelona.

wow. so delicious i can't stop eating these chicken wings they might be the best ones I've ever had. Don't miss them when you come

This place was a nice little surprise on our way to the Cathedral. The weather was nice so we decided to sit outside. We ordered some very interesting vegan entrees. We certainly were glad to bump into this place and would definitely recommend this place.

Sticking wings are the best wings I have ever had in my life. I went here probably 10 times in my 2 months there. Nice staff. Bread and oil is also really good along with the risotto.
