I visited Taller de Tapas on Rambla de Catalunya for dinner during my August 2024 trip to Barcelona, the location is good and I was also impressed by the menu online which had a filter for all major allergens and an English language option.
The staff were friendly and spoke good English to communicate, I could make a table reservation at very short notice on their online website.
It is a little pricey and it can add up when ordering multiple dishes.
I decided to opt for three dishes.
1. Sizzling chorizos cooked in cava
This was my favourite of the three dishes, the generous thick chunks of chorizo were so tasty, especially with the cava, the meat was cooked perfectly, fresh and good quality and was some of the best chorizo I've had in my life.
2. Potatoes Bravas
The potatoes were cooked well, and the sauces were nice, they were described as spicy but I didn't get that, although I did still enjoy them.
3. Fried egg & chips with cured Iberian ham
Probably my least favourite of the dishes, and I wish I had ordered more of the Bravas, the chips were ordinary and I've had better or similar quality at a fast food joint, although the eggs were cooked well with a generous double yoke, I did find the ham to be a little chewy but the intense smokey flavour went well with the rest of the plate.
A guest on my table ordered the Iberian Burger as a main and was pleased with it.
For drinks, I went for the sangria with cava, I asked my waiter which sangria was best and he told me he preferred this one, but it was again just OK for me, I've certainly had better from other Spanish restaurants even back home in the UK, but it was the best drink to go with the tapas for an authentic experience for sure.
Overall, my experience was good and I would return on future visits to Barcelona, even if it is just for the chorizo! 4*
