Senyor Vermut

Have you ever left a restaurant hungry❓ I bet you have, unfortunately. 😓 But have you ever felt the need to go to another restaurant to finish your meal? 🥺 That happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I had been invited to a place and, not only was the quantity served low, but the food was so bad that we decided not to ask for more and we went to a tapas place from my bucket list a few blocks away: Senyor Vermut. The place looks like an old school bar, with really cool vibes. 🤩 And it seems people like that, cause the room was packed and there's a huge sign (actually there are 2 or 3 😅) at the door asking you to wait to be seated. These signs are not subtle and they didn't make me feel welcome, TBH. 🤨 Nor did the first contact with the waitress, even though she ended up being very nice. In fact, her service was very efficient and, even though it was rush hour, she took the needed time to help us choose. 🙏 We shared bravas 🥔 and torreznos 🥓 (fried pork belly stripes). We picked the torreznos cause this is what the server recommended and it was a good recommendation: they were tasty, not greazy and not too chewy nor too hard. 👍 And we ordered the bravas cause the place is famous for their bravas. They were good, even though I like the potatoes better when they're softer and sweeter and I like the sauce a bit stronger (this one was kinda strong on the garlicky side, not that much on the spicy side). Last but not least: less than €3 for a portion of bravas is a bargain nowadays. 🥳 Overall, the price was fair: we paid €15 for 2 tapas, 1 croquete and 2 soft drinks. Now I need to go back to try their entrees, cause it's not only a tapas spot. 👏 . . . Quality & taste: 9/10 Quantities: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Originality: 6/10 Ratio price / quality: 9/10 Service: 8/10 How I felt afterwards: 9/10

Perfect spot for vermouth and patatas bravas in the weekend. The staff are warm and welcoming. We sat inside and loved the atmosphere. The bravas are top!

I'm not really a bar person but this place was recommended to me for the tapas, particularly the patatas braves. The tapas were ok, nothing too special. Service and pricing were also ok. You might need to wait in line to get into this establishment.

Best tapas my friend and me ate in our lives... The patatas bravas won a price and I understand why. Also super affordable, we paid 30 euros for 2 aperol spritzes and a lot of tapas. They were closing so we had to leave but we would wanted to eat everything on the menu. Very good!

10/10 Bravas for an incredibly cheap price. Calamari were also 10/10. Truite/tortilla was a bit dry for my taste and everything else was ok. My recommendation would be to get the bravas, they are delicious, seriously spicy, and under €3 which is just ludicroud

Senyor Vermut's patatas bravas surprised me – nice spicy kick, perfectly cooked, and great value. A solid for quick bites and drinks.

We came in on a very busy night, but the service was super quick, not to mention the servers were all very friendly. They did their best to communicate with us in English, gave recommendations and accommodated all our questions. The tapas came out freshly made and well seasoned, probably some of the best we've tried in Barcelona. Do ask for their desserts when you dine in!

They don’t accept reservations, so expect to be waiting in line for 20/30 minutes because it is usually very crowded. You will find typically Spanish food such as croquettes, Spanish omelette, “flamenquillos”, among others. To drink, the vermut is a MUST. Is like red wine but sweeter. It comes with ice and two olives. Good place to hang out with friends. BTW, they have some tables outside with a 45/ 60 min limit per customer.

Cute local place that was referred to us by our amazing food tour guide. Great inside area with good group seating + plus good outdoor seating for smaller groups. They had several specialty drinks too - solid drink menu. Unfortunately, the service struggled a bit. We were never told that the food menu was on the wall nor that payment was collected at the bar.

Wonderful local restaurant for Tapas! I found this after searching for the best potatas bravas. Several search results had them listed as best in Barcelona. I have to agree! Beyond that, the menu is extensive! Several delicious varieties of croquettes, amazing Calamari, meats, cheeses, etc. The menu board is all in Catalan, but the wait staff was patient with us English speaking tourists.

Incredible food! Calamari and sausage dish were excellent. Lovely neighborhood place. Must try!

4/14/23 We wanted vermut. And Senyor delivered! This is a tapas bar, the menu is on the chalkboard. It's a small place, but they are fast, efficient, and friendly. So while you're waiting in line (you will be if it's dark out) pick out what you want! We got there around 9pm, waited about 20-25 minutes. We got the bombas, two different croquettas, calamari, patatas, and pan con tomate. Oh and I needed a pick me up and got a shot of espresso. Heavy on the deep fried treats. The cheese croquetta I highly recommend. The bombas was okay, get it if you have never had one just to try it! It's like a croquetta but with a little ground beef. The calamari was good, pan con was a little hard, but lots of good olive oil was drizzled and softened them up a bit. The vermut? BOMB. Who knew olives in a sweet drink would add so much and pair so well together. Did we get a bottle to bring home? No, we got two. A bottle is €9 and refill is €8. (When you're done eating/drinking, bring your table marker with you to the front and pay there) They accept card and everyone is friendly. Highly recommend if your bar hopping. GET THE VERMUT! Senyor will not let you down!

Had a lovely brunch at Senyor Vermut today, including tortilla espanol, patatas bravas, and estrella galicia. Yum. Great service. Lovely experience. Recommend without qualification.

This is a lively and delightful neighborhood bar with tasty and affordable tapas. Worth waiting for a place to sit. We enjoyed the Bomba, the Bacalao croquettes were delicous, the fried calamari were tender and tasty... really everything we had was satisfying. The atmosphere is light and convivial - lots of small groups of happy people. Highly recommend.

This corner tapas restaurant is right near our apartment and every time we walk by, it is BUSY! Today we decided to see what the hype is all about. Upon walking in, we found a table with stools. There is a chalkboard menu posted on the wall and specials posted on other walls of the restaurant. The server came and gave us a stand with a number. We ordered: Bomba - aka massive ball croquette with some sort of meat, potato with sauce. Amazing! Patatas Bravas - perfect if you like a little hot spice Morro - Deep fries pork - tastes like chicharron Mini Croquette plate - supposed to be 5 pieces but we were lucky and got 6 (mushroom, fish, cheese) Calamari croquette and shrimp and merluza croquette. One of the croquettes was still cold in the middle. These are great prices. I didn't see a special lunch menu. After you're finished, take your number up to the cashier and pay your tab there. They accept credit cards.

My boyfriend navigated me here based on a timeout article. However, the yelp reviews should be just as awesome! Tucked away and filled with locales this place is perfect in the afternoon. The tapas are written on the chalkboard and changed frequently. It is about 12 euros for a carafe of sangria that is amazing. Everything else is well priced and you can pick based on budget. Get the papas bravas you won't be sad and experiment! My boyfriend got a beef dish that he loved! The waiter will explain anything. We ended up here twice because it was that great.

Tapas súper exquisita! Les recomiendo probar el Fricando y Capipota. Los meseros muy amable y atento. Buen servicio.

I wish I could give a more fair review of this place, but they refused to give us seats that were clearly available and made some of us stand. I was really looking forward to splurge a meal of tapas, in the order of €100+, here before I leave and try their wonderful patatas bravas, so I may update this review if I happen to go back to Barcelona again, later in the future, if I could actually have a good, comfortable dining experience.

Wow. First attempt at tapas in Spain, and this was a winner. Confusing at first, but we successfully ordered 7 or 8 dishes, some beers and a drink, and went to town. Good prices, tasty food. Very happy we found this place!

This was our favorite tapas place. The patatas bravas were so good that my boyfriend and I each got an order for ourselves - definitely the best ones we had in Barcelona. We also tried the bomba, pimientos, and fricando (beef) and all of them were delicious as well. Service is great (albeit a bit rushed, but they were really busy) and the crowd is made up of mostly locals. There's bar seating and tables, and the vibe is a lot of fun. Would definitely recommend!

Super Cheap & Tasty.... We tried to get into O Retorno, but there was a line out the door; always a good sign, right, except we were hungry. Stumbled upon Senyor Vermuts just a few short blocks away. Service was great (our server spoke english- bonus for us), menu is available on chalkboards in the bar. Food is tasty and came out quickly. We had an order each of - mussels, clams, potatoes, and another interesting fish dish (thinly sliced, smoked/cured with some almonds sprinkled on top) and of course Vermut. Note: How it works - You will need to find a spot to claim, the sever will stop by and leave a number with you and take your order (by this time, hopefully you have had had a chance to review what is on the chalkboards). Once you have had your fill, take your number to the bar and pay... its that simple. Enjoy....

Awesome food! Awesome prices! Awesome service! Of all the great food we sampled all over London, Barcelona and other parts of Europe on our trip, this place was one of the best. Try the mussels, gambos (sp?), potatoes, croquettes, beer, calamari, and ham tapas. Basically try their whole menu if you can. Each tapa ran about €4. The menu is in Spanish and written on their blackboard. Being non-Spanish speaking, we needed help understanding the menu. The waiter was more than willing to help even though the place was packed. Every dish was great. This is one of those places you gotta try when in Barcelona.

Cheap, wide variety and tasty tapas. The pity is that the place is quite small so if you want to get a sit try to go around 12pm no later!!

We saw the good rating and wanted to come here. It was 7pm but it was already packed. No staff seemed to care to help us with setting up a table. We stood there for 10 minutes but still no one seemed to care. We decided it was time to walk away and offer our business elsewhere.

Terrific Tapas. While it is a little small, it is worth sitting in cramped quarters because the food is terrific. We will likely go again during our stay in Barcelona
