La llar de Bárbara

Amazing family ran tapas and restaurant recommend dates/prunes in bacon. Have been going here as long as I remember (34 years) and the dates/prunes in bacon are just lovely. I dream of them often, used to pester my grandma to make them. We went in July and as good as usual. Beautiful atmosphere, very busy and bustling. I would recommend getting their advice on portions as they know portion sizes. I had eyes bigger than my stomach and wanted to order too much they helped me reduce it but they were right was too much. Wish I had ordered less and ordered more of the dates/prunes in bacon. Probably worth booking if in summer especially if bigger group and on Friday/Saturday. My partner has allergies and the son speaks amazing English and could advise on dishes.

I recently had the most incredible dining experience at this hidden gem of a restaurant. From the moment I stepped onto the charming, narrow street where it's nestled, I knew I was in for something special. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, with tables set outside to enjoy the perfect weather. Now, let's talk about the food. Words can hardly do justice to the exquisite dishes they serve. It was so phenomenal that my companions and I couldn't resist booking a second dinner just to savor more items from their extensive menu. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavor and presentation. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They are not just waiters; they are culinary guides who helped us navigate the menu and made thoughtful recommendations. We were so excited about the choices that we tried to order more than we could handle, but they kindly intervened, ensuring we had a delightful dining experience without overindulging. In summary, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. The cozy atmosphere, the tantalizingly tasty food, and the welcoming vibe all combine to create an unforgettable dining adventure. I can confidently say that this place has secured a permanent spot on my list of all-time favorites.

Waiter was great fun and service was fantastic. Atmosphere was super relaxed with everyone around chatting and enjoying the food. BEST OF ALL the food was absolutely delicious, by far one of the best restaurants we’ve been to.

Located up a narrow street in the old town. A beautiful hidden gem. Tapas you dont get anywhere else - served by great staff. Every dish is worth trying - especially the slow cooked oven chicken Amazing.

A great little place with quality tapas, some of which are much more original in taste to the standard average choice. A very nice glass of wine too. Friendly service. Shame they close for the winter next month but they need their holidays.

Love the vibe and setting of the place, looks so different during the day compared to night! We were lucky to find an empty table to have dinner here as other neighbouring diners were fully occupied. The Chicken with Tomato dish and Aioli with Toast was delicious however we were utterly disappointed with the Spicy Potatoes as the potatoes itself was tasteless and the Cheesy Capsicum was mediocre with nothing special to note (though dipping both with Aioli made it tastier). Not sure if perhaps ordering something else would make a difference on the food experience.

Beautiful area of the old town. We had the stuffed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, chicken, stuffed peppers and garlic prawns between 3 and it was more than enough. Favourite was definitely the stuffed mushrooms. Service was excellent even in the event of a power cut! The waiters english was outstanding and gave us confidence when asking about my sisters nut allergy. Thank you ◡̈

Amazing food, a must visit. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious (the pear, goats cheese and honey was phenomenal), the location was great. On a very quiet street, no traffic and barely any people around La llar de Barbara is idyllic. If you visit one place in Calpe this should be it
