L'Alcoba Azul - Tapes

Must try for Tapas and atmosphere. This was our favourite restaurant during our stay in Barcelona. The food was incredible, especially the cod carpaccio and sardines. Sangria was also amazing and the restaurant itself had so much character. Highly recommend!

It's the best tapas we've had in Barcelona. We walked past the place when we tried to find it! 😅 It feels like one of those holes in the wall, anonymous and great food. We really liked the atmosphere. It was cozy, small, and dark. The food was amazing. We looked up a few tapas to order but asked the waiter what he recommended. We got more and more excited after every plate that arrived at our table.

My favourite tapas place in Barcelona, and really enjoyed my filled bell peppers with goat cheese and the meat dish I had was amazing (don’t remember the name). It was quite dark inside, but I think it’s supposed to be for the romantic vibe. The music was nice and chilled and the had a glass of white wine, red wine and IPA beer. I enjoyed the red wine and beer the most, really complimented the tapas I had. Lovely experience. Quick service and friendly staff.

This spot has a very cool vibe to it, but I found the food and seating to be a bit lacking. Some of the tables here are quite close to one another which makes the dining experience to be not the most comfortable. The food was also fine, but there were no dishes that really stood out in my opinion. The interior is really moody and unique as this spot is located in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, but I just feel like this spot should definitely improve its seating arrangement and the menu offerings. In terms of the best dishes that we tried, I would recommend the stuffed peppers and the grilled octopus. It does have a stellar location so if you're in the area, then it might be worth a visit.

Came here by myself after searching a spot for dinner and the reviews sold me. Ordered the stuffed peppers on reviews recommendations and they did not disappoint! Also ordered the calamari and was excellent. Sat at the bar and bartender was lovely. Even gave me a chupito (little shot) of an acorn liqueur as dessert which was delicious! My only regret is not coming with more people so we could order more items. I was full!

This was is overrated. It is extremely overpriced for the quality and portions of food. Two small tuna tacos were 16€ and a piece of white bread with cured meat was 10€. It was tasty enough but nothing phenomenal. We sat outside which was nice. We enjoyed our cocktails but recommend the sangria overall.

A very nice place in the middle of the gothic quarter, great service and quite an interesting food choice, a fusion of tapas and eastern cuisine. The ambience was great as well. Definitely coming back!

Exquisite tapas, perfectly paired drinks, and a soundtrack of smooth jazz. An absolute delight! The best dishes I've ever enjoyed! I will definitely come back for more.
