La Alcoba Azul

From the moment we walked in, Serena made us feel completely at ease. She was warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly—exactly the kind of host who turns a great meal into a memorable experience. Her energy set the tone for the evening, and we instantly felt like we were in good hands. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. It was hands-down one of the best meals we had during our time in Barcelona—fresh, inventive, and deeply satisfying. The atmosphere was just as impressive. The space had a relaxed yet vibrant vibe, with just the right balance of cozy and chic. Whether you’re out for a romantic dinner or a laid-back evening with friends, Serena’s place hits the mark. Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just a meal, but an experience. We’ll be dreaming about this one for a long time.

The male server/bartender is really friendly and welcoming! The drinks are so yummy and generous! Thank you!!! The lamb hummus is also quite good!

Amazing tapas place and great sangria! The Eggplant toast is SO GOOD. I didn't know what to expect and took a bite and immediately paused to savor how good it was. It's one of the top foods I feel like I've had in a very long time - it is perfect. The sangria is really good and the lemon pie/dessert was great! Very small spot but we were able to walk in and be seated - agreed it is easy to pass so keep your eye out! Highly recommend - excellent meal and service.

We wandered around the corner from our hotel, hangry and in low-spirits, saying “let’s see what we come across,” no real plan or expectations, when we noticed this spot had a table that was being vacated. ¡Qué suerte! Do you like Spanish food that has a middle-eastern slant without feeling recherché? This is the spot. We had the fattouche (you must get this), the toast with jamón and tomato jam, patata brava, pita, smoked sardines in a beautiful sauce that we sopped up with pita, a seasonal green gazpacho that had a beautiful, soft burrata in the middle, and the most delightful gin/tonics. They have a gin and tonic menu! To miss this place would be a shame. Bonus: the waitstaff is charming and attentive.

Came to this beautiful restaurant on 06 August 2025, for my birthday meal, with 3 friends. The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish tasting unique and delicious! We were especially impressed by the very helpful and kind chef - who recommended items on the menu and really made our experience special. Even though we came during siesta time, he made sure to accommodate us. We didn't get his name, but he speaks French (if I remember correctly, Guinea) Thank you for such a great time, and we will definitely be back on our next trip to Barcelona :-) Tres bien!

We found this little gem while walking through the Gothic Quarter one afternoon. Super small and intimate with the coziest vibe. The food was wonderful, we got the octopus, pork belly and bread. All of it was to die for work the pork being our favorite. The wine was wonderful as well. We wound up coming back later the next evening with a couple we had met on our trip for some drinks and had a wonderful time.

A modern, fancier take of tapas (€20-30pp), but food is absolutely delicious! We were impressed by basically every dish we had - the ceviche and sardines are a must-order. They are meant to be famous for their tostadas but we actually think that is not as impressive as the other dishes - the topping was good but the bread itself was a bit disappointing. It’s also hidden in a quieter area in the gothic quarter away from the crowd. We sat outdoors in the terrace and it was super relaxing. Only thing is service is quite slow outside. Overall highly recommend!

Fave restaurant in all of Barcelona - Delicious cocktails, sardines, octopus, pork belly, eggplant toast, and lemon pie. Great service (English menu available) and cozy whimsical medieval atmosphere.
