Tapas, 24

Really good food, I ordered the chicken croquettes and they just melt to your mouth. Then I ate the salmon tartarewhich it was good it had salmon with avocado and this delicious sauce definitely good. The tortilla espanalo potatoes and onions was amazing it just melts in your mouth. The Sangria was good as well. Overall great place to eat.

Very delicious food and atmosphere, but bad services (male). The waiters were so unfriendly from the time we walked into the door. We could have left if it was recommended by a friend. A bit on the pricy side but the food served very fast and super tasty. It would have matched the price of the service can level up.

This a nice place to get some traditional and modern Spanish tapas. The food is great and it’s prepared really fast. We rocked up without a reservation and the alfresco area was packed and the indoor seatings were filling up. It was lucky that we managed to get 2 seats in the corner along the counter. The Fideuà is good but had a different texture than other places. The rest of the dishes were good as well but I suppose for the price we paid, we’ve had more substantial meals.

Tapas 24 has an outlet in Singapore, which I’ve tried and it’s pretty good so of course, I had to try the real deal in Barcelona! We rocked up without a reservation and the alfresco area was packed and the indoor seatings were filling up. It was lucky that we managed to get 3 seats in the corner along the counter. It was pretty busy inside, after being seated, we got our menu but as the servers were rather busy taking other orders, serving, settling the billed, it took a while for us to be able to place our orders. Luckily, our food and drinks (ordered a sangria!) didn’t take too long to get it us. I’ve always had a penchant for the Bikini so this was a must order for me along with the Tomato and Tuna salad. The tomatoes were extremely juicy with a slight sourish yet fresh twist! The rest of the dishes were good as well but I suppose for the price we paid, we’ve had more substantial meals. However, it was still a good experience!

Great little place , with freshly cooked food , prices a little high but good all round give it a try

They told me that their system was down for the reservation I made online two weeks ago. Later, they arranged a seat at a shared table. The prices are a bit expensive considering the quantity and quality of the food. (14.9 Euro for a few sausages) It was a disappointment for me. I wouldn't recommend it.

My favourite tapas bar in Bcn, come here at least once a year when i visit barcelona. Its for sure not the cheapes tapas bar but the Products are super fresh and the staff is very friendly, i would sit at the bar you have a great view in the kitchen and some nice and funny smalltalk with the Staff.

This a very nice place to get some traditional and modern Spanish tapas. The food is great and it’s prepared really fast. However the best of the whole experience was the service. Look for Andres Sanchez, a waiter that made our night. He gave us really great recommendations and was the nicest person in town. Totally recommend.

Great food and sangria! Tapas were served fresh and hot. We were in a large group (10 people) and the service was very good

Fabulous place! Great food and superb service. Julie from the Philippines via Italy was especially off the charts! She greeted us on both visits with a smile and a hand shake! Everything we had to eat and drink was just magnificent! You are cheating yourself by not stopping in. Robin and James from Chicago.

Food was good. Atmosphere was great. Service was very slow. They gave great street seating but the service did not make up for it.

We ordered -Sepionetas de playa a la plancha Grilled baby cuttlefish -Almejas al Jerez con berenjena y jamón ibérico Clams with sherry, eggplant and iberian ham (not my favorite, but my daughter really loved this dish) Anchoas 00 con tomate fresco y albahaca Anchovies 00 with fresh tomato and basil (perfectly balanced anchovies and tomato with basil)

Muy impresionante el restaurante. Estaba caminando a mi hotel y valió la pena entrar. El servicio es un poco despacio pero es por lo ocupado que se pone. Muy delicioso todo, el ambiente muy limpio y lindo. Regresaría la próxima vez que visito Barcelona!

From my son- best food on this trip! Everything we ordered was delicious- from the eggplant, sirloin, croquetas, bikini sandwich. Enjoyed it with a sangria, great spot for tapas in Barcelona

The owner of this spot has a Michelin star that being said expect a wait for a spot at the bar. Service was fast friendly and efficient kudos to them for maintaining high standards despite being super busy. The food here was the best bite I had during our entire 12 day trip. The flatbread was incredible and cuttlefish testicles surprisingly delicious. This should be a must go on your trip list.

Of all the Tapas joints in Barcelona, I had to walk into this one. I've had the fortune of visiting Barcelona many times for work and on one trip years ago I found Tapas 24 where it has remained on my 'must drop by' list every time I visit. It's on the pricier side of things but you can drop by if you're not too hungry and make out ok. Now they have the greatest hits as far as tapas go...get those and get some other stuff you normally don't see. A few of to note: the lentil stew was full of flavor, the avocado salad (really just a sliced avocado dressed in pesto) was stellar, and the chocolate mousse with a wafer, olive oil, and sea salt is just mind blowing. It's proudly Catalonian so don't ask for a Spanish red as they only carry wines local to the region. For me, it's remains on the go to list for Barcelona.

If your in Barcelona & want TAPAS GO HERE!!! GREAT lil spot with cool atmosphere not to mention GR8 foodIt's a small place so we went early, they open at 7pm we arrived just a bit after sat at the counter luckily the menu had English on all the food so that was a HUGH help for sure! Our server was Pablo from Germany, LOL!!! not really he is from Argentina. (Ask for him, & tell him the people from Las Vegas told you to Extremely helpful & patient (always a good thing for tourists) with recommendations~ E started with grilled french bread and instead of rubbing it with garlic, they used fresh tomato's, might sound odd but was quite good Next we had Iberico Ham a full dang plate of it, sliced so thin just ideal to grab & devour either alone or on the grilled tomato bread. Along came he "Bikini Sandwiches" called this as they resemble the bottom of a bikini, a triangle of course it could be the top of the bikini, but this is Spain and topless might be a popular thing these are grilled smaller sandwiches with Iberico Ham (never can get enuf of this) w/ mozzarella cheese all melty deliciousness and truffle. Now I am NOT a big fan of truffle however these are wonderful treats so don't be put off due to the truffle thang! our next selection was the avocado salad, simple presentation of sliced avo about 15 or so topped with pesto, pine nuts and a it of cheese which I think was feta ‍ , also my husband ordered tomato tartare!! who ever heard of this?!!? It looked like meat tartare like a a shape of a raw hamburger pattie with aioli and capers along the edge, he enjoyed the entire thing by himself~ lastly we shared their cheesecake, served with mixed berry topping? kinda like jam and it added a nice element to an already delisssh cheesecake

Everything about Tapas 24 was amazing! Service was great, food magnificent and the environment very welcoming and cozy! Highly recommend

Incredible ambiance, felt like 'the real deal' sitting at a downstairs counter eating tapas. Everything I had was great, the humble pan con tomato was a star, and there was an Eggplant dish that was just amazing. Well worth taking the few steps off of la rambla to give this a shot.

Loved the tapas here and the wine. I've visited this place every time I've been to Barcelona and it's never failed me. The service is very good, the customers in their early thirties and seem local. Really love it!

Best tapas in all of Barcelona! Where is the so deserved Michelin Star? The most incredible meatballs I have ever had! Tomato bread with Iberian ham, grilled Skirt Steak w/ Chimichurri & the Bikini de Jamon Iberico, wow. Oh, and the pear and rosemary jelly.... Only wish was the McFoie was on the menu.

An absolute hole in the wall with the best raises I've ever had!!! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is organized chaos. Everyone has a specific job that they do expertly and quickly. We ordered off their seasonal menu. Steak w/ chimichurri, drilled artichoke w/ ibérico ham and salmon tartar.

Some tapas were great, others were average or below average. Ambience was nice. We sat outside on a warm summer night. It was a Sunday, so it was quiet and lovely. Service was mixed; didn't have our reservation, one gentleman was very dismissive, our server was a bit rude at first, but ultimately very helpful.

Came here after a busy day of exploring the city with my friends, and we ordered a ton of different dishes. My favorite was probably the steak was deliciously seasoned and came with the most interesting puréed potatoes. The Russian salad was also a highlight for me. The truffle sandwich, which is one of their highlights on their menu was just OK in my opinion, you can skip it for the price tbh. Overall, it was a solid option that had sitting on a busy night and we enjoyed our meal!

Love this place! Came twice on our trip to Barcelona. Are outside once (5 stars) and at a counter the second time do to smokers outside (4 stars inside). I believe there is another indoor sitting area, but I did not look at it. Came here with my wife and kids, ages 18 and 13 for dinner. We had a jug of Sangria and it was yummy. For tapas we had the avocado salad (delish), Iberian ham platter (yum), meatballs (two of them--double yum), artichoke dish (yum), eggplant (just ok--tasted charred), bikini sandwich (multiple and double yum), calamari (good taste but thick), and tomato bread.The best bite on the table was a tie between the meatballs, bikini and avocado. I would give it to the meatballs. Service was fantastic and the energy was good. Would definitely come here again. Go. Here. Now

I barely had an opportunity to order food because the service is awful here. I was Actually born and raised in Brazil, but I live in the USA for most of my life. I can assure you that people need training on how to be nicer to tourists. MY home town in Brazil breath of tourism. I know these people can do better. It's a matter of willingness. The chef has all kinds of pics on the walls, I guess he must be known.. well he needs to get someone to trains his stuff On friendliness Your shop is offa main shopping street be NICER to tourists.

Worst service ever!!! Stuck up pretentious servers. After sitting for 25min at table without a hello or acknowledgment from server we had to get up and leave. Do better!!!! You suck

Way overpriced and not worth it! Sangria was weak and not flavorful. Tapas are OKAY but definitely not worth what they cost (2-3 X the price of other tapas restaurants in the area). Also there is only outdoor seating (indoor seating is bar only and pretty dingy). We will not be back, save your money and avoid!

So, we went to Tapas 24 a few years ago for a quick bite and absolutely LOVED it! Some of the best octopus preparations we'd ever tried. Perfectly-cooked bravas. Nice staff. Affordable. You name it, we really couldn't find a complaint. Fast-forward to late 2018 and we decided to pop in for some more tapas during a more recent trip, and it's incredible what a couple of years can do. Maybe it was a bad night? Maybe the service suffered because we were the only people sitting outside? Who knows. All we know is that our attempt at recreating that amazing experience from a few visits ago was a complete failure. The octopus, which had been so perfectly cooked, was just awful in texture and preparation. The bravas suffered from a similar fate. Poorly-cooked, but the prep at least remained the same. We also noticed that the prices seemed to be higher than we remembered. Perhaps the perceived cost hit us more because of such disappointing food, but the higher cost and the less-quality food execution just had us regretting going back. As people who travel to Barcelona a minimum of once every year, I can tell you that there are far better places to go, especially if you're looking for average food in a touristy atmosphere.

Excellent - Barcelonas finest street side dining going. Loved the food, drink and views

The last time I visited Barcelona was in September of 2008, before the financial crisis that gripped the country for a good part of the last decade happened. Back then, El Bulli was at its peak with impossible reservations, reinterpreted classics and molecular gastronomy that did not try to recreate your childhood, but drew experiences from that innocent time. Chef Adria was also churning out disciples daily who carried forward his spirit by opening their own innovative eateries around the world. "Vicki Cristina Barcelona" had just premiered, and it was rumored that Woody Allen himself would jam with the band at a swanky 5-star hotel in upper Gracia between shoots. In short, it was a town hopping with wealth, creativity and global interest. That was the right ecosystem to sustain Carles Abellan's Comerc24. I remember this being the first time I experienced (and paid for) a "deconstructed" prosciutto e melone appetizer consisting simply of a honeydew chupito with crunchy ham chips. I remember having the sensation of being so fascinated by the creative presentation, that I didn't mind that it was neither a. satisfying nor b. an improvement on the real thing. All I could think of was, "what else can these guys do?" and, "how come I never came up with anything like that?" Fast forward to this January, and all I wanted was seeing how Barcelona had reinvented itself after the financial downturn. I found this in Tapas24 -- Carles Abellan's more casual restaurant since the now defunct Comerc24. The set up is underwhelming and feels like you will be in for a run-of-the-mill experience found in any of the dozens of tapas bars lining Eixample. If it hadn't been suggested by a foodie friend who's a local, I would have walked right past not even knowing this was Chef Abellan's newer incarnation. Once you pull up a stool at the counter, you're in for a treat. I'm glad I went with a group of friends who were more than happy to try the top hits on the menu as recommended by our server. It was like a Catalonian omakase. We had a calamari sandwich inspired by the popular fare you find near the beach that was out of this world -- it had kicked-up umami from a kimchi salt they developed at the restaurant. Their burger with foie gras looked more like a slider by American standards, but it was packed with flavor, juicy and the right amount of doneness. I loved the pairing of romesco with griddled, in-season artichokes. It's difficult to make patatas bravas sexy, especially within Spain, but the tricked-up sauce that topped them was plain delicious. Their pa amb tomaquet flatbread was positively addictive and showcased the best of the region: fresh tomatoes, herbs, tangy olive oil and gorgeous, lip-smacking sea salt. Their drinks were prepared with a lot of care and with copious pours of gin & tonics, cavas and sangrías, I'm happy to report anything that happened after this restaurant visit is a gleeful blur. I think our server was a young woman named Dani, and her enthusiasm, knowledge and professionalism made all the difference. She had been working at the restaurant for more than five years, and I wouldn't be surprised if she were running the joint soon. Even if it's dismissed as a tourist spot or there's a long wait time, do yourself a favor if you're in Barcelona, and make it a point to try this place. You won't regret experiencing how a city can show its resilience, relevance and virtuosity through its food.

Service was good and family friendly. Tapas was very tasty. Arrived around 10pm and wasn't as crowded, unlike some of the other tapas places at that time fortunately for us. We sat at the bar which we preferred so it worked out for us.

3.5 s! Busy place so definitely plan to wait a little if you are stopping by! We got seated in 20-30 minutes. Because the restaurant is so small, you may have to sit at the bar or share a table (we were lucky enough to get our own!) Service was pretty fast but it will take you a while to get the attention of a server to get the menu. They do have an English menu so if you don't want to guess, don't bother trying to read the utensils wrapper. My favorite tapas dish of the night was definitely the fried green chilli. It was a little over seasoned but it's such an unique dish that tasted absolutely amazing and the tortilla was a close second. Everything else, the fries (bravas) and the potato ball (bomba, which is way better at Porto's if you are from the states) were just average. Personally, I would skip the sausage pasta (fideos). While the pasta was fresh and cooked to perfection, it was, again, over seasoned to the point where it was difficult to eat. We had to wash the pasta down with water because it was just too salty. Overall, great experience and the interior is very "hip". In terms of food, it was average.

Excellent service, but the food and wine were just amazing! Croquettes we're so fresh and flavorful and the chimichuri steak strips were a burst of flavor and texture.

Amazing food and very kind servers. Traveling solo so asked the waitress her recommendations and she suggested the bikini - so good with truffle!

Wow ! Ate lunch here and it was fantastic. They have outside tables but for more excitement go inside. The place was packed and we can see why. Had the Tomato Bread, the Spiced Potatoes, the Stuffed Zucchini Flower and the "Mc Foie" Burger. All were well above average. The bill with 2 beers was around $45. Great place !

This was the priciest tapas place we went to. This portions are microscopic, but unfortunately the prices are not. It's just not worth the premium. Id recommend trying other places.

I'm so confused by all of the good reviews of this place! Visited with my family on a Sunday evening and were seated at the bar. The menu looked pretty exciting and we were able to see into the kitchen so off to a good start! However, those really were the only positives about the meal We ordered the patatas bravas, lentils with meat, fried squid, and Barcelona rice. Welll...... the patatas bravas were French fries with sauce (I'm as big of a French fry fan as the next person but these could have been frozen). The lentils were pretty good but the size was itty bitty. We attempted to order the fried calamari but were instead given the fried squid sandwich. No big deal about the communication issue but a tiny hot dog bun with maybe 6 squid pieces on it for 9 euros?! You've got to be joking! Sadly I didn't even get a picture because I was in shock. The rice dish of the day was artichoke and squid. The artichokes were cooked well (but we were given 1 artichoke cut into 4 pieces) but the squid was very gritty. Overall the rice had very little flavor, especially not for 22 euros. Overall I was extremely disappointed by this meal. I don't know if we ordered the wrong things or if we honestly ate at the wrong restaurant. This place was bustling with English speaking people and many more were standing around the restaurant waiting for seats. It took everything out of me not to tell them to leave and find something better for dinner. Big disappointment Food - 2 stars Price - 2 stars Service - 3 stars Atmosphere - 3 stars

Probably our favorite meal during our too-short visit to Barcelona. We came on a quiet, rainy Sunday night in November and had no problem getting a primo spot right at the bar. It was relatively empty, which our server/bartender informed us is RARE - and I can see why. It was our only real chance to do the Tapas experience, so we went for anything that looked good, including: - Patatas bravas - Bombes de la Barceloneta - Croquettes w/ ham - Croquettes w/ chicken - Tortilla española - Bikini Carles Abellan - Coca de pa amb tomaquet - Canatabric anchovies Everything was delicious, but our favorite was the anchovies! Something so simple and so powerfully flavorful. The service was great, and it was fun to chat with the folks behind the counter.

I'll keep this short and sweet. I would not go here again, but maybe you should go here once like I did. I legitimately only enjoyed the grilled cheese with ham. I think you will be able to find that on the menu. The burger... no. Don't do it. It is small and I just felt weird as I ate it. The taste in my mouth was not for me. Lentejas was okay, nothing that great. When I lived in Mexico the lentejas I had were always delicious either with some banana or pineapple in them to add a little sweet. But these were basically a watered down version with no sweetness. THE VERDICT: Unless you live here I don't really see this as a place that you need to visit on a quick vacation. I tried my hardest to enjoy it, but over and over, bite after bite there was very little redeeming. I feel very harsh on this one, but look at the star review. A ok. Wait... in a last minute change... I have had better.

D: a small venue that packs a punch. If you arrive during normal lunch/ dinner time, be prepared for a little bit of a wait. Smaller groups get seated quicker as there tends to be smaller tables here (date night scenarios). It's bustling. It's loud. Cafeteria style. You come for the food not the ambience. I'm not a "fish guy" but the fried sardines were very good. Get the truffle sandwich cheese bikini thing... you'll thank me later. Z: this was our first stop of s tapas binge evening so we didn't try as many things as we wanted but the jamon iberico, truffle "bikini" (basically a panini), and sardines were fresh YUM. Dishes at other tables looked great too.

Yes yes yes! You guys I'm telling you if you want delicious tapas check this place out! Light beer and sangria Warm fluffy croquettes And Innovated traditional's with a twist If you go to Barcelona and are looking for some amazing tapas check this place out!! We had the tomato bread Tartar Meatballs - OMG they were insane! Scallops Lobster And croquettes. This place was so delicious we ended up dining there twice with in our stay!

Nothing bad to say about this place but don't think you really need to visit this place since there are so many other good options in town. (Go to Quimet&Quimet for sure) I tried the king crab salad with avocado and grilled octopus but both were mid-of-the-road nothing outstanding but they do charge you an"outstanding" price. I ordered 2 dishes and 1 glass of house wine and paid ~€50 vs I paid €20 for 3 tapas and 1 glass of wine in Quimet & Quimet!

We are vegetarians, so always looking for a Delicious Place which Is hard at times. The Tapas here is five star delicious! You have to try the grilled artichokes with romesco sauce!! Also the potatoes and egg! Yum!!

For the first tapas stop on this trip, I felt that it was just right to go at a favourite of mine! What I love about this place is its vibe, the long bar facing the open, just kitchen adds to its charm! My 2 friends and I had Moritz beer to start, then proceeded to randomly order: smashed eggs (on a bed of fried potatoes), fried potatoes with spicy/garlicky sauce (otherwise known as patatas bravas - one of the better ones in Barcelona), Iberian ham croquette (crispy, light shell - but soft on the inside with bursting flavour of ham), Spanish omelette with Iberian ham, Catalan bread with tomatoes (also known as pan con tomate - here prepared fresh, crispy bread with generous tomato puree and splashes of olive oil). We capped this visit with glasses of tinto de Verano - a simpler version (but a tastier alternative to sangria.

Came here for a wonderful little lunch. If you're looking for a tapas experience, you've come to the right place. You'll get your tomato bread, your patatas bravas, etc. but you'll also find many daily specials and innovative fare. With an Aperol Spritz, we gratefully devoured the above, spicy chicken wings, the most elegant snow crab & avocado salad and cod fritters with a pepper aioli. The fritters were my favourite dish and were a great example of Spanish simplicity, in how perfectly they were cooked and presented. In terms of service, it's a bit brisk but precise. The uniforms are perfectly pressed. And once seated, you're in safe hands. It's a bit pricey for tapas portion sizes, but you do feel like you are dealing with exceptional quality. Enjoy.

Great spot. Everything was fresh and hot. The bravas were crispy and light with a great sauce blend. Staff was pleasant and very attentive. we sat inside, which I recommend. They have paintings on the wall of everything they serve.

Good food, cozy atmosphere, long wait if want to sit outdoors. The restaurant is set in a basement of a building and the line goes all the way against the wall up the stairs and out the door. Even though they have long wait, they do not rush the clientele out and you can have a relaxing meal. We tried the Mac Foie Gras, Bikini ham/cheese, Croquettes and the chocolate Gelato with sea salt and olive oil. All was tasty, the chocolate gelato is an acquired taste as the combination of the salt/olive oil with chocolate was not what we cared for. Great experience for a lunch off the busy Av. Diagonal.

I got a list of all the top foodie places to check out while in Barcelona and tapas24 was on the top of the list. While walking around after checkin at the hotel, I realized the restaurant was two blocks away. I went in asap to request a dinner reservation and found that they don't take reservation. One tip is that the locals eat late so if you go in around 6.30pm then you can get s table without any wait time. The food was amazing. I went with a group and we ordered multiple dishes including lamb skewer, chicken wings, papas fritas, croquettes, olives and a bottle of cava The food was amazing and the cava was so good. The menu had so many other items I want to check out that I will go back once more before I leave

TL;DR - Horrible service with mediocre food I visited Tapas 24 for dinner during my stay in Barcelona. I went with decent expectations because of 4.5 stars review, but I can honestly say none of the food I ordered were good and service in the bar area was just horrible. There's a short guy with glasses behind the counter who was just a prick to everybody. He was so bad that he had to be replaced by his superior during his shift. I ordered following menu: - Tomato Salad: Salty and sour - Wings: Too salty - Oyster in Ceviche: Sour and you barely get any oyster flavor - Iberian Prey: Really gamey - Smashed egg with sausage: on the saltier end but this was probably the most edible item from what I ordered With all the horrible services and food, price is ironically too high. Unless you want to waste money, I recommend other great tapas restaurants nearby.

Everything you need to know about Tapas 24 can be summed up simply: McFoie Burguer. I could go on - I could try to explain its goodness to you - but really what's the point? Just get your butt to Barça and order your own.

On our last day in Barcelona, we had about 5 meals and one of them was at Tapas24. This is a semi-upscale tapas bar, but the terrace still gives it its casual side. We wanted some light bites, so the four of us shared a pitcher of sangria and 3 tapas: McFoie Burger, Bikini, & cap i tripa All three tapas were really good as was the sangria. The prices are on the higher end, especially for the size of the dishes.

Small and busy basement level tapas bar. We definitely liked the quality of the food more than the fancier Cerveceria Catalunya. More innovative and chef-inspired rather than traditional tapas. Highlights included the mixed olives and amazing, thyme-scented Arroz Valenciana. Staff worked hard to keep us comfortable by offering us drinks while we waited in line. Nice touch. Definitely a global destination. Met folks from France in line and sat with a nice couple from Sweden. NOTE: If you're not comfortable sitting with strangers in communal seating, this may not be the place for you. Also, try to avoid peak times by getting there before 9:00 or after 10:00.

I was originally going to give it 3 stars but with the rude waitress who bothered us time and time again, it lost a star. We came here because my husband's friend who lives in Barcelona, recommended this place. It's a chain so there's more than one, but this was the closest to our hotel. We got there around 9pm, when dinner really starts to be busy with two kids, no less. Got down the stairs to stand in line, we were blocking the stairway, so we stood to the corner, out of the line. My daughter got tired of standing so she leaned on the side of the stairs and the lady with red glasses yelled "she's blocking the stairs!" when my daughter's little hands were far from the stairs, it was on the edge, under the railing, where the waitress can't walk anyway. I told my daughter to move her hand. Second time, she yelled again "she's blocking the stairs!" and so I moved my daughter from that area altogether. Dirty looks and yelling at a toddler isn't going to get her to stop, you crazy lady! Then more people came in and stood in line, so my husband went to stand in line so the newer people wouldn't be served before us since at this point, we've been waiting for 45 minutes. The waiter yells at my husband "we know where you are in line, you don't need to stand in line" umm, ok? He came from no where and it didn't look like any of the waiters were paying attention as to who's next to be seated. Again, rude! Finally we got seated, I was already angry and I figured the next rude waiter that bugs me, I'm going to yell back at them. Our waiter helped my daughter up on the chair and was rather nice. Though we shared a table with another couple, we were in the corner. They don't have much selections for wine, it's either red or white and you have no idea what you're drinking. The selections of tapas sounded good and based on recommendations on yelp.com, we went with the recommendations. We were pretty full after a few tapas and decided to leave. Food was ok, it was pricey for what you get. The place is very pretentious and overrated. I know that servers in Barcelona don't work for tips, but it doesn't mean you have to be jerks to your guests. Your food isn't even worth that kind of attitude!

There is absolutely no way this place is less that 3 stars. All the reviews that I read giving it two ordered the wrong stuff. Get the eggs, breads, potatoes and hams you are in Spain not Mexico. The bombas, bikini and huevos are amazing. Yes it's a bit pricey and it's packed, they must be doing something right.

You can find Tapas 24 all over the web when it comes to looking for places that are "must try while in Barcelona." Although the food was very good, it's not the best the city has to offer. When compared to other local greats, Tapas 24 is a little bit on the pricier side. Still affordable, just pricier when compared to other local Tapas. The ambience is wonderful and the restaurant boasts a cool "basement vibe." The restaurant's menu is written throughout the walls with colorful graffiti like illustrations. Inside capacity is about 37 with a few tables located outside as well. Some must tries: Bikini Carles Abellan- This is a warm grilled cheese like sandwich with fresh shaved black truffles, buffalo mozzarella, and Spain classic Iberia Ham. Croquetas de pollo- Made with fresh roasted pulled chicken Don't waste your money- Croquetas de Jamon- stick with the chicken Octopus with partmentier potatoes- very delicious but not 19 € worth.

Do not expect to be 1/2 full and sky rocket tap when come here. A colleague and I came for lunch per hotel recommendation. I asked for salad and they said no salad. The counter is loaded with green, red pepper, cucumber, Green apples, egg plant, Basil, mint. Wth! I ordered grilled pawn - €20. 7 tiny prawns salted with salt. OMG! My colleague squid sandwich - 1.5 wide by 3" length. 2 bites and that's gone. I gave 2 stars because it's a nice uniques restaurant. 1 star for the guy who took the order. Maybe he had a bad day so he wasn't friendly nor smile. 1 star for food quality and portion. They should give description on their menu. 1 OJ and 1 mango/ passion juice. The bill - €40 We walked to the Cafe next door for and ordered the sandwich €7 for lunch. LOL!!
