Taller de Tapas | Rambla Catalunya

Great place. First of all the hostess was very kind to begin with. We ordered lots of lots of tapas and they were all lovely. Our waiter Moha was kind and attentive. Thank you for the experience. Definitely will be back. Keep up the good work!

First thing you notice is how stunning the place is The staff are so welcoming as well. Oscar, who was my waiter, was wonderful. He even let me sample the two wines I was deciding between. The food was delicious especially the brie, canelons de rostit, and the almond bar. Oscar helped to recommend options that would pair well with other dishes, such as the bread and tomato with the pawns. They told be to dip the bread in the garlic butter and it was so good. To finish, they brought me a limoncello, which is my favorite way to finish a meal. I had such a wonderful experience there. I would highly recommend.

Amazing experience! The service was incredibly good — attentive, friendly, and professional. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food, the prices, and the overall atmosphere. Everything was perfect, from the first moment to the last. It’s a truly great place that makes you feel welcome and relaxed. We highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely come back again. Specially thanks for Anna 🤍

Very nice and cozy vibe. There is a lot of space here, so it didn’t feel crowded even with a lot of people visiting. The food was delicious (although the portions were pretty small). Our waiter Oscar was super friendly and attentive. The only thing I didn’t really like was the bathroom, please fix the lock on the door🙏🏻

The dishes are great and very distinctive. Tina's service is extremely good. I give her a thumbs up and five stars. It's a wonderful experience. Great!

10/10 excellent service by the staff. They were so friendly, helpful, and warm which made the cold winter less harsh for dinner :) Tapas were delicious, although the serving size was small. I’d say one tapas serving is good for one person if you’re not hungry. The paella was incredible too. The staff did not push us to buy 2 servings of paella, so we got to order 1 serving for two people. I really liked this because most restaurants in the area aren’t transparent with this or are too strict with the servings size just to rip off customers. I 100% recommend this place for the vibes and the food.

I wish I could give more than five stars, if stars were enough to measure the essence of a moment. At Taller de Tapas, it wasn’t only the food that touched us, but the rare gentleness of human kindness — as if eternity had paused for an instant. Oscar, the waiter who served us, showed a grace that felt almost timeless. He guided us through the choices, helped us savour the Catalan flavours, and made us feel not like customers, but travellers welcomed into a safe harbour. We tasted what was recommended: grilled calamari, lamb, chicken tacos, and wings — each dish like a well-written verse, each flavour a brief silence in the noise of life. And the desserts… the crema catalana and the cheesecake, sweet as illusions we wish would never fade. Everything was phenomenal, as if life, for a moment, had meaning. The experience was so extraordinary that, on our gastronomic journey through Barcelona, we feel tempted to change our plans — because there are places that are not merely places, but memories asking to be lived again.

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is absolutely delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. We, four girls, spent less than 50 euros. The dishes were all recommended by the waiter, Oscar, and they perfectly matched our tastes. Oscar’s service was extremely warm and friendly, making the experience even better.

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*

Had just got into Barcelona- were starving- needed something quick- it was a Sunday- we found a spot in their sidewalk spot immediately- so decided to just go in! Was satisfying- nothing fancy - was simple - and hit the spot. Staff was friendly, welcoming and helpful! Spot is just cute- surrounded by the big city hustle bustle! Patatas brava- have had better fancier ones- but these were ok too Prawns- were yummy 4 kinds of hummus Steak: really liked this, was simply prepared - but the steak bites, pepper, potatoes, garlic all was very satisfying!!

Taller de Tapas was just across the street from the apartment we were renting and Omg...what an amazing find!!! My husband and I brought our 7month old daughter to eat a later dinner at the terrace and we had an amazing experience. Aitor was our waiter and he was so kind and friendly!! He was very attentive and I think our baby girl loved him!! The people watching on the terrace cannot be beat and the prices are very affordable especially for a place on las ramblas. Some of my favorite include the patatas bravas, hamburguesa de la Kate, Montadito con jamon and the pimientos de patron!! Some of the meh included the tortilla de patatas and bomba con carne. We also loved the wine that Aitor recommended-- Entrelobos! We might've had 2 bottles heheheh. Totally worth the value and ambiance!! I'll be coming back!!

We were able to get a table right away. Everything was clean and we had lot of space for just the two of us. Our food came out quicker than I thought it would which is really good. The food was really good. I got the Kate's special which was a burger but it was really good; heavy too. My partner had the seafood skillet which was really good too. Gonna come back sometime and try the chicken tacos.

Decent but not stupendous. I'll go along with the other reviews. Fried goat cheese salad was interesting. Octopus was very good. Shrimp was good but small and a little unseasoned. Croquettes are croquettes. We wanted the steak but they only served it in 18oz servings or larger and there were only two of us. It was relatively inexpensive at $5 for 3.5oz. Note, all this was in euro and grams at the restaurant. Pro tip: Outdoor seating comes with a 15 percent price premium

Attentive service. Excellent sangria! Patatas Bravas was very good. It can get pricey if you don't watch how many appetizers you order. We went back twice during our 5 days in Barcelona.

Stopped in for a late dinner after arriving in Barcelona that evening . Ordered a salad and steak. The service was fast and surprisingly efficient. The food was delicious! The only thing was the lemon wedge placed in my Pepsi. Not a thing where I'm from.

We were looking for a place to have dinner near our hotel and stumbled upon this gem! It's beautifully decorated with a fun, date night vibe. Service was great from the moment we were seated, to our orders, and getting the check. Super happy with the service and the food! The price was reasonable for a meal for 2. We didn't order any drinks, just 3 tapas and a steak to share. The steak came with fries and it was a good portion to share! The calamari was super flavorful compared to a lot of other places around the area.

There are so many different Tapas restaurants to choose from in Barcelona...it's overwhelming, however, Taller de Tapas gave my friend group everything we were looking for! We wanted to have some traditional food, Paella/tapas, and to dine somewhere on the nicer side for our first night in Barcelona. The Paella was so good, better then the one I had in Madrid. The restaurant was very nice and vibey. The Tapas were amazing!! Make a reservation if you decide to try this place out.

Came here with a family of 8. Michele was very friendly and great. Food came fast and was great. Highly recommend this place, location is great.

Gayle and I dined at a Taller de Tapas in the Born the last time we were in Barcelona in 2017. This time around (in June 2022) we were walking the upper (and quieter) part of La Rambla looking for Lunch. It was a warm and sunny day, so finding a table in the shade was important. Gayle had also been told that any restaurant that showed pictures of their food was suspect. I don't know whether that's true, but it did take a number of places out of contention. We finally arrived at a nice looking place, but with only tables in the Sun. As we usually do, we looked to find where the home restaurant was located and it turned out to be Taller de Tapas. We then wandered over the the "brick and mortar", looked inside and spotted a nice place to sit by the bar, and settled in. When I first started writing reviews, I often wondered why folks at the next table were taking pictures of their food. Now I'm one of those people, and with the hypocrisy of not trusting the same dish pictured by the restaurant. This time around at Taller de Tapas, I simply forgot to take any photos. Maybe it was because Gayle and I were having such a great time, our choices were so good, and they were gone faster than we could pull our iphones out. And the service was stellar! Same as it Ever Was! Note - I don't put a lot of nuance into a food-related review and tend to also look at service, atmosphere, and fellowship as a whole. So I understand a lower star review from someone who as a different food focus. At the same time, I don't care that the chicken I'm eating was named Colin and that he grew up nearby on four acres of land, eating a diet of sheep's milk, soy and hazelnuts. :)

Corona at Tapas We had dinner at TALLER DE TAPAS SANT JOSEP ORIOL. It was a wonderful night, our food was delicious, and our waitress RAJAE was the best. She was very kind and helpful, we had a lot of laughs with her throughout the evening. Highly recommend...More

The absolute worst service imaginable. After asking about our order two times, it finally arrived after asking again, 30 minutes after the initial request. And they were only taco tapas. Then we wanted to order more, but had to flag down the waiter. It took four requests to three different people to get our bill. The food is OK, service horrendous.

Great service terrific food and a fun, festive atmosphere. Went with a group of 6 and it was perfect!

Taller de Tapas was recommended by our tour guide. She said the food served is very good for the price. I ordered Russian salad and cod tapas. The Russian salad was a potato salad with tuna. It was very good with bread sticks. The cod fish tapa was breaded snd deep fried. It was tasty too. Cava was sparkling wine, not sweet, on the dry side. The crowds started to come in around 11:45a. Its s popular place for casual diners and business people, so it must be well liked. We enjoyed our visit and food at Taller de Tapas.

Súper recomendado! Muy buen servicio de todos los meseros, muy atentos! La comida muy buena! Y las bebidas 10/10!

This place was such a nice little Tapas place to eat. I highly recommend the potatoes. They were amazing. Nice view sitting outside.

Staffs are friendly and speaks English. We ordered fried squid, grilled shrimp, grilled squid, mussels, sirloin steak, fried small fish, seafood and vegetable paella. The fried squid and grilled squid was very tasty. Fried small fish and mussels was ok. Sirloin steak was tender. The grilled shrimp was not fresh. The seafood paella was under cooked, we have to send it back.

Good selection of tapas and they also have paella! Great flavor, especially the paella. Sangria was perfect and refreshing.

OML THIS place was so good the service was fast and the toppas where so good! i recommend the octopus and the potato's ( if they are still there) also the brownie i got was good but the gelato ice cream was WOWZA MIND BLOWING anyway, super recommend

My fiancé and I stumbled upon this place while in Barcelona. Lots of seating space and a beautiful patio out back. Wait staff was great, I was speaking Spanish to the server, but English could be heard all around as well. The paella was OUTSTANDING. I would fly back to Barcelona just to have another bite. Highly recommend!

This is where we had our first meal in Barcelona and we were not disappointed! We got the shrimp with garlic, seafood paella, Iberico ham, grilled squid, salad, roasted vegetables with anchovies, salted cod fritters, some bread with tomato, and grilled Iberico pork. Everything was delicious and came out pretty quickly, but the roasted vegetables tasted really weird. Not sure if they were pickled or something, but just not my cup of tea. Would love to go back and try more!

Customer service needs alot of improvement. The drinkware was dirty. Overall environment was ok. Staff speaks good English, but was not friendly. This was my first restaurant experience in Barcelona . I ordered two beef burgers and 1 sirloin steak. My burger was raw !!! Only the outside was brown. The inside was bloody red. This is the way burgers are served I guess because they fixed another one and it was still red. First time dining.... I'm a lm little disappointed.

So we tried to go to Cerveseria Catalana but the wait was over an hour and a half wow! My family and I were so hungry and couldn't wait. I found this place from just walking around the corner about less than 5 mins away. Try this place, no wait time, food was great and price was reasonable.

Great place to eat and have a nice evening night out at. Went to dinner here at about 9pm and had some great Sangria and Anchovies with bread and tomato sauce. Also tried the calamari which to very fresh and great taste. I also ordered the octopus with potatos which was nicely seasoned and cooked. After we ate we ordered a couple slices of cheesecake which to me tasted great because they weren't overly sweet.

Fantastic food. Four of us went and were waited on by Fernando, he was fantastic. Best service and very accommodating. Fernando had a great personality that definitely contributed to the great experience. The food was cheap and high quality. The tapas were amazing and the ensalada with ham was one of the best dishes for us!

Great food, great service, fair prices! Thank you to Fernando for providing amazing service!!

Was it recommended this restaurant by friends. We strolled by after a day of exploring the city and were welcomed by a great staff. There was plenty of outdoor seating so we took advantage of that! We ordered an appetizer dish that came with a variety of tapas. It consisted of delicious bread, ham, hummus, tortilla and olives. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Bread and ham combination was absolutely delicious. The ham was slightly salted, full of flavor and shaved very thin. Another exceptional component to the platter was the hummus. It was rich and had a very nutty flavor that really went well with the toasted bread. Overall it was a great experience, but the prices seemed a little high for the quality of food. There are better options in the city, however this place is very good!

My wife and I came here to try what we thought is authentic Spanish paella. We were very mistaken. I got the vegetarian paella with chicken added, my wife got the traditional seafood paella. The seafood paella was dry, overly salty, and not very good at all. The clams left a terrible taste. Rice was very hard, again not tasty at all. My vegetarian paella with chicken was not good either. I got 3 small pieces of chicken that were mostly soft and squishy meat, almost like the meat around the joints. The rice was also hard and lacked flavor. The veggies were there but no flavor came from them. I saw tomatoes, peppers, onions, and mushrooms but neither gave any distinct taste. Avoid it if you want paella. We also both had here burn afterwards, the first time we experienced this after 6 days of eating and drinking in Europe.

I stumbled upon this place with a couple of friends after a long day of travelling through Barcleona. I ordered a tapas platter to share. Everything was pretty good, the padron peppers were grilled and crispy, the croquettes were melt in your mouth and the bravas sauce was decent. Not extremely impressed with the food but it's definitely a place to check out if you're looking for a quick bite.

Food: Was very tasty and well presented. Drinks: We had white sangria and it was delicious with some great orange and lemon notes. Ambiance: this is the only reason this place did not get 5 stars. Smell inside was a little fishy for my liking as well as we battled gnats flying around our food through out the meal. Service: Great!

Delicious! Sangria is one of the best I've had in Spain so far (I've been here for 4 months). The staff is extremely friendly and our food was great. We had the Bomba, patas bravas, buñuelos de bacalao, y tortilla. The Afortunado white wine was delicious & so was my Pink Paloma cocktail. We will be back!!

4.5 stars really. Super tapas place with lots of space inside and a nice section in the centre of the Ramblas de Catalunya. Ordered the chorizo, humus, iberian ham, cheese platter, chicken fingers, fried squid, deep fried brie, the croquettes and a few cocktails. Everything was perfect but had to order a second octopus as it was something special.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyy GOODNESS!!!! So freaking delicious! I'm in gastronomic heaven right now. We ordered multiple tapas, as one does in a tapas bar, but I only had the patience to take pictures of a few. Our waiter was kind, patient, and incredibly nice; honestly, just an overall great human being. I'm full, happy, and would revisit this place if I had more time here. Thank you for being a wonderful restaurant and being here.

Rushed, impersonal service. English menu available. When we asked our waiter for recommendations, he sounded irritated and said look at the chef's specials on the menu. Had to flag our waiter several times. We had the anchovy tapas (€4.80), chorizo (€4.05), grilled shrimp (€3.55), burger (€7.85), tomato bread (forgot price). Drank water and red wine. Meh food & service. ps - 15% price increase if you eat outside (we ate inside)

Discovered during my first stay in Barcelona, I did not hesitate and went again each time we visited Barcelona. In a comfortable place, with a sober but chic decoration, we always envoyed fresh products, and yummy tapas recipes, either traditional or innovative. We also enjoy the good wine selection. A very satisfactory tapas experience ! However, I need to say we did not like that much the same Taller de Tapas located in Ciutat Vela...

Good service Really nice fried shellfish Sangria is well done too Better ambience than most of the stores I've seen

Great food and great service. The food was fresh and tasty we had a mixed tapas and all of it was delicious. The seafood paella was really yummy as well.

Possibly my favorite restaurant in the world. Been to Barcelona three times and every time we go here at least once. Dining al fresco, delicious cava, and the ham croquettes and albondigas are weep worthy. So. Good.

We found this place walking on rimbla de Catalunya. Great tapas! The eggplant and the mussels tapas were a hit. Our waiter Xavi was very friendly.

Best thing you can do for yourself is to not come here. Service was uncomfortable as soon as we stepped in. Guy who seated us thought he was being super funny saying "Konnichiwa" to me. I'm Chinese. Okay, honest mistake; he's just being friendly. On the other hand, waiter wouldn't let us order a larger main (paella) without ordering tapas first. We didn't want tapas. He literally didn't let me order my food until we ordered a couple plates of tapas. Then, after we finally get our order taken, and I get my paella order in, he tries to upsell us like a sketchy hairdressers' might try to sell you expensive hair masks while cutting your hair. We don't need bread with olive oil on it; sorry, not sorry. Tapas are tiny portion sizes, especially considering the prices. I am the exact opposite of impressed with this place.

Great bar with all of the high end whiskey that I like. Sits in the middle of many stores and various shops. The staff is very inviting and speak English.

This place was such a great find near our Airbnb in Las Ramblas. We we were on our way back from the pharmacy when we turned around and saw Taller de Tapas directly across the tiny street we were on. We walked up to the restaurant and we were warmly greeted by the hostess who handed us the menu. We took a look at the menu and we were sold. From the very start everyone was friendly and accommodating. (My Spanish is non existent) The two in our group of four who could speak Spanish ordered first. They ordered the Menus Tapas; which was basically a tapas sampler with croquettes, potatoes bravas, fried calamari, grilled peppers, and a "Russian" potato salad. All of it was delicious but the best was yet to come. I ordered the grilled octopus with garlic mash. It was perfectly cooked, tender with the perfect amount seasoning. Another person ordered the grilled squid in a lemon dressing, that was also absolutely perfect. Every dish that came after that was DROP DEAD AWESOME! The muscles, the langostine in aioli, the octopus and langostine ceviche and a dish so good it was devoured by everyone before I could even think to take a picture. The fried farmhouse egg with chips (fries) and cured Jabugo Ham. It's something so simple with so much flavor. The egg yoke makes this beautiful silken sauce that coats itself over the warm fries and mixes in with the saltiness of the cured ham making this perfect harmony of texture and flavor. It was gone in less than a minute! I also have to call attention to the Mojito Barcelones. I rarely ever more than one drink but this one was so good that I had to. Adding oranges to the traditional mojito gives it an extra depth of flavor. I was so happy with my experience here and I hope everyone can enjoy this restaurant as much as I did. I want to thank Barbara and Richard for the wonderful service.

Everything was great from when walking in to when leaving. Waitress was super friendly and attentive. Food was great will definitely come back. Specially for the sangria, it's a must when in here

Came here for a light, quick dinner on our first night in Barcelona and ordered the Paella, the Spanish cheese board and a fried Iberico ham on a slice of bread (forgot the name of it). The place was pretty packed but the servers were very attentive and friendly. Food was amazing, albeit a little pricey. Would come back if I ever visit Barcelona again.

Had champagne and a bit of everything from the tapas menu. Staff was friendly and let me try things before I decided on what to get. First time in Barcelona and I wasn't sure what tapas was, so I'm very happy I stopped by. Lots of menu options and in a great location!

If you are a tourist and you know nothing of Spanish food, you might like this place. My friend and I, both tired and hungry and well versed in the culture and language HAD to just grab something. We ordered: an aperol spritz (good), a fizzy water (good), a tortilla española ( ehh ) and the mushiest garlic shrimp ever!!!! Gross. The service was slow and lacking of any personality, at best. Food took a while and the manager knew from our faces we were unhappy with our experience there. AGAIN, if you've no idea what Spanish food really is...oh, you know what AVOID THIS PLACE!!!! Find a place off the main roads and where the locals go. Tourists = sub standard food and service

Hungry? Try some place else. The menu seemed adequate and somewhat crowded so thought to give it a try. Started by attempting to order drinks. I ordered a Bloody Jose' - when I was asked what kind of wine? I repeated and was told that my accent sounded like Rose' - never heard of a Bloody Rose'. After correcting me telling me I need to work on my Spanish. Was told it was Spicy but found it not spicy at all but more sweet. Two tables seated after us received their food before our server even took our order. My companion ordered a burger med and I ordered the paella. His burger came more rare then med and 1/3 size of the bun - can't tell you about the paella - it never came. He finished the burger and when asked about mine - they apologized but the order was not turned in . They were prompt to provide the bill and when asked how everything was - I had to just walk away! Never anywhere in Europe has this happen! There are too many other choices to waste your time here.

we arrived in Barcelona early this morning after an all night flight. After napping, we went for a walk and built up quite an appetite. We stuck our noses in quite a few restaurants before settling on Tellar Tapas. Thankfully it was a great choice. Small plates of croquets perfectly fried, giant prawns in a delicious garlic sauce, chicken kabob and finally topped off with incredibly delicious lamb with a side of gzrk lic mayo sauce. Tbe Euro vs the dollar ,akes dining likr a king vert aff..ordable.
