Telefèric

We had a fantastic meal here with my partner! I was impressed with the food. The steak was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender, and the potatoes were crispy and delicious. The paella was also a highlight—rich, flavorful, and packed with fresh seafood. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting.I was also impressed that they have multiple places in America. Very highly recommend this place!

Beautiful restaurant with great food and staff! Alejandro was so kind and helped us choose great options. We loved the crispy tuna tacos and the squid croquettes! Definitely recommend a visit!

The place is nice, a bit of a tourist spot I believe. The food was ok but nothing out of the ordinary in what I ordered. The octopus was fried, I did not expect it. Tuna tartar taco was so small, and looked good, tasted ok.

The food here is exceptionally tasty. If you are a meat lover, you will particularly enjoy this place. The flavors and recipes are quite unique. The pork rib dish melts in your mouth, and the sauce is divine. The brioche sandwich is fantastic and very filling. The paella was also tasty but not as flavorful as the other dishes. And the rice could have been cooked a bit more for my liking. We did not make a reservation and simply walked in when the restaurant opened. However, it filled up quickly, so making a reservation would be a good idea.

I love the food & the prices are fair. The waiter was very nice, fast & helpful. I would like to come back. I walked in before the restaurant got busy so I could choose where to sit.

Modern Spanish kitchen for fair price. Perfect place for a lunch or dinner for those who care what they eat. Very friendly staff. The restaurant serves very good alcohol free drinks

Loved the vibe! Alejandro was a great host and took great care of us. Service was quick. Food was good. The bread was phenomenal and so was the cheesecake!!

we came in on a Sunday afternoon, there were three other groups of guests. We ordered the tuna tartare taco, black paella, and a duck foie gras paella. The duck paella happened to be a bit too salty. But overall it’s a good deal and delicious.

Met some friends at Telefèric while vacationing in Barcelona and the food was great. We ordered several tapas, including croquetas de jamón ibérico, a tabla de jamón ibérico, pan con tomate, patatas bravas, and bracitos de pollo crujiente. We also ordered arroz de butifarra, which was my first time trying it and it was absolutely delicious. My husband doesn't eat seafood, so he appreciated having a non-seafood rice dish that he could enjoy. The service was great and the restaurant ambiance was lovely as well.

The best paella I've had in years, not too long to wait for, and sized for one (which is a rarity where I come from). Could not recommend more highly.

Short walk from our boutique hotel, we found Teleferic based on previous yelp reviews. Thanks for not steering us wrong! Best sangria I had while in Spain. All food was beautifully served and delicious. Paella was worth the wait. Comfortable and open setting, but my husband and I felt it was romantic too.

We had the Duck Ravioli, Ribs, Salmon Sashimi, and Tuna Tacos, as well as a duck Paella. Everything was wonderful with the exception of the ribs that were a bit chewy and lacked flavor. The Duck ravioli and Paella really stood out and were amazing. The server was very friendly and attentive and while this was a bit more pricey than other places around it justified the cost.

The good news is their staff and the design. The not so good food is the problem. Nothing we had impressed. It felt like the chef was trying too hard to create unique combinations but they just didn't work. The only place we ate where nothing struck us as very good.

Really good food. Ordered the sausage paella and rabbit paella along with sangria. The food was delicious and so was the drink. Service was great, no complaints. The decor was modern and it was relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend going to Teleferic if you're in the area

Food was great. We got seated right away. Service was efficient and fast. Nice clean restaurant.

I don't know if I had too high of expectations based on other reviews or if they were having an off night. While it is a lovely restaurant and the staff were nice & service was adequate I didn't like much of the food. The sangria I had was the best part of the meal. I ordered 2 tapas to start. The tuna tacos & some croquettes. The tuna tacos were quite small and the fried onions on them were overpowering and not necessary. The croquettes seemed undercooked and under seasoned. Others at our table ordered a few other tapas. The ribs were amazing! The octopus was nice. The bread with grilled tomato just ok. Then we had 2 different paellas at our table. The black squid ink and a mixed seafood. I took one bite of the mixed seafood and did not care for it at all. I've had paella in Mexico that was 10 times better than this paella. Note: We were a group of 5 and they were unable to separate our checks. If you're dining in a group be forewarned.

What a treat this was. I solely went here based on their location in walnut Creek and I am glad I went to the original. The flavors of each meal was an explosion. The sangria was delicious and the rabbit and duck paellas were a must try. Seasonal veggies gyoza was presented in a delicious sauce which we used for the chicken and the papata bravas. The service was very welcoming and the waiters went out of their way to speak their best English due to my lack of Spanish literacy. Ambiance was cozy and stylish. We didn't make a reservation because it's early in the evening but if you plan to go later, I would recommend it.

We came early (6:45pm) as a family. Barcelona has a late eating culture so this popular place was virtually empty aside from one other table. The kids didn't want anything, so we ordered 5 tapas. My favorites were the salmon sashimi on brioche bun, the Peking duck ravioli, and the cheese fritter with a honey lime sauce. The croquettes were my least favorite. La Flauta did croquettes much better in my opinion. This place is more expensive than La Flauta and their food was on par with La Flauta. Both were very good and we were lucky to come early because everything had been reserved for 8 pm. I'm sure this place gets popular in the night. 69 ę for two drinks and 5 tapas versus 40ę at La flauta for something comprable. Both are great! Enjoy!!

Was so looking forward to trying this place out. Disappointed, hours of service showing till 0100, they wouldn't take us at 2300 on a Saturday night. Wish we knew that before making a 20 minute walk to this place.

A modern tapas restaurant with an interesting and varied menu. Wine and drinks menu to match but only Estrella beer on tap. Ambience is very nice and quiet. Unassuming and very polite service

Fabulous tapas in a cute, simply and beautifully decorated restaurant. Excellent service!! We had the rabbit paella, cheese fritters, tuna tartare tacos pan con tomato and papatas bravas plus some Cava and red wine. All excellent! Fresh and great flavors. Highly recommend this lovely place!!

Didn't even bother to serve, threw me out because I was looking for a table for 1. Told me they are all reserved for tonight when most 2 person tables were empty. I guess welcome to Barcelona

First tapa restaurant in Barcelona. Enjoying the ambience with the Octopus with creamy truffled sweet potato and tuna tartare. The octopus was nice the tartar a little salty. We topped it off with a Spanish Tempranillo wine, priced well at $5.

Teleferic Barcelona is one of our favorite Walnut Creek (California) restaurants, so we smiled big when the concierge at our Barcelona hotel suggested we try the original Teleferic restaurant just a few blocks away. It did not disappoint! Outstanding food, excellent service, and same yummy pink sparkling wine sangrias (oh, and the bill was about half of what it would have been back in the States).

This restaurant is beautiful on the inside and the food does not disappoint. Both the red and white wine sangrias are delicious and fresh. Their selection of tapas provide a great way to taste classic Spanish dishes. The chicken bravitos in particular were very good. We also got dessert and the raspberry compote was made in house and so delicious. The service is also so kind. Definitely recommend visiting this place if you're in Barcelona for some classic Spanish food!

I came here as a recommendation from my hotel. My hotel even provided me a voucher for a complimentary glass of cava. I ordered the patatas bravas and chicken tenders. The food came out piping hot which was great, but the flavor was lacking. I ate the food because I was hungry, but there was nothing special or tasty about it. Staff was super friendly, and the restaurant is clean, but I wish the food offered more.

Dear owners of Teleferic, Before traveling to Barcelona, my wife and I occasionally went to your other locations in Walnut Creek and Palo Alto. By far, that was the closest we could find to authentic Spanish tapas and paella in the Bay Area. We knew we had to visit the store during our Barcelona trip recently and we couldn't believe how much more blown away we were! The menu surprised us and we wished we could have eaten more. Also, special shout-out to Alina, Jimmy, Mila, and Sajani! Whether in the bay or in Spain, the crew is amazing. It was so nice to hear from Mila how Teleferic was born and to know a bit about the history of how things came to be. Sajani killed it on the cocktails especially with a couple of concoctions that we asked her to think of on the spot. We're just upset that we couldn't be closer to this location because the menu is sooo unique compared to the ones near us (like the duck and foie gras paella!) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hola! There are several Teleferic locations and a couple in the SF Bay Area. It was shared that Teleferic was founded by a couple who worked in the tech industry who are passionate about food? Speaking off, service was excellent, and our grilled squid was the best in the menu. Really loved the ambiance here. Super modern yet Spanish traditional feel. It's located at the circle and not far from the University. It gets pack by 9PM so we found coming in before 7PM was the best. I forgot to mention, most Barceloneans eat late around 9PM. Cheers!

We stayed at a nearby hotel who gave us a card that allowed us a free welcome drink. This ended up being a small glass of Cavas for each of us, not too shabby! Both my girlfriend and I ordered the sangria. One red, one white and we were delighted. Tapas wise, the croquettas were very nice but 2 for €5 seemed a little hefty. The bravas Telefèric were very good. I had the beef tenderloin which was served on a very warm plate. The meat itself was tasty, just needed more salt. My girlfriend said the same about the salmon. On both pieces of meat, the areas that they sprinkled salt onto were the best part! (This is likely just the American in me talking). The restaurant felt upscale but wasn't snotty at all and is in a very good location in Eixample. Would return after exhausting all other options.

After 10 days of Spain, we had experienced pain and pleasure in the hunt for a good place to eat. This was our last day and last shot. After walking for 20 minutes we were finally delighted to see Telefèric's menu. On a Friday night there were open tables too! The four of us were seated immediately past the self-serve pinxos and olive bar. We ordered several tapas that sounded exciting and tasty amidst the typical tapas we had eaten before. Everything was great. It was a food adventure! Telefèric took a creative route to tapas that we hadn't seen any other restaurant excel at. Even the things we didn't like much sparked fun conversation and tickled our tongues. Pictured are some of the plates we got. My personal favorites were the tuna tacos and eggplant burrata salad but agghh it's so hard to pick!! Our waitress was adorable and funny. She treated us at the end with some cava with grenadine. What a perfect way to end our Spain trip! Salud!

We thoroughly enjoyed this meal of tapas that served as our dinner. At the suggestion of our server we ordered 5 tapas for the two of us. Through Yelp I received a complimentary glass of Cavo. No problem at all redeeming the offer. We enjoyed the grilled octopus, steak tartare, fried artichokes, cauliflower and grilled foie. We also shared a dessert of Crema catalana foam which is served in a flower pot and is similar to Cream brûlée. All were delicious. The menu is very interesting and eclectic. The service was great. They have menus in English and the staff is very fluent in English. The restaurant is very bright, clean and modern. Go and enjoy!

Awful place. We were recommended to come her from our hotel which we realized was because they probably got some sort of kickback for recommending people to come here. It was our first night and we were looking for a place for dinner. We came here and the Paella was awful. It tastes so fishy and not fresh at all! The shrimp looked like it was a vegan shrimp full of food coloring. We spoke to the manager to tell him and he still charged us for the dish. We didn't eat more than the bite we tasted, so we paid the bill and found an awesome restaurant with the best tapas less than 5 mins walking. I'm not sure how this place has great reviews. It must be paid because there's no way this place is highly rated in a great culinary country.

Wonderful tapas and good wine sitting outdoors in beautiful Barcelona! The food was great and the cost was modest. Not many tourists and lots of locals, which was a good sign. Service was slow, which fit our mood and helped us enjoy the experience even more!

The foie gras appetizer (or tapa) here is worth the visit alone. It is one of the best things I've ever eaten throughout my Europe travels. I paired this with a pulpo tapa and grilled Basque steak. These three were recommended by my friendly waiter and all three were simply amazing !! Unfortunately I was not able to come back for a second visit here, but there are some good reviews on Yelp to help guide you guys. Once again, Yelp comes through in the clutch. And gave me my favorite meal during 1.5 weeks in Spain and Portugal. One last tip, they have some tapas pre-made upon entry. I would recommend just ordering from the menu as they can provide an English one to explain the dishes. Be adventurous! Your stomach will certainly thank you.

A colleague and I came for dinner, and thought that the food was interesting, well-prepared, and thoughtfully plated. The main that we shared (we ordered two portions, but one would have been plenty) was the seafood fideua, which was a beautiful and tasty take on the staple dish. Tapas we shared included the octopus with sweet potato purée (astoundingly good!), the pan con tomate (I wish that I would have ordered more--the portion was plenty but it was absolutely delicious!), the iberico ham (a huge portion, strongly flavored and appropriately fatty), and the cheese balls, kind of like a croquette but better. Service was smooth, friendly, the gin and tonics were Barcelona's in size and flavor. Great night!

Just had dinner here because our first option had an hour wait. We did not have a reservation but was seated right away. The wait staff seemed to not want to seat us because we didnt have a reservation. We tried the pinxchos (prepared small bites) at the bar for 2.5 euros each. We had 9 of them. The ones with the ham and onion jam was really good. I ordered the grilled pepper but they brought us the fried octopus. It was the same price so I didn't care to send it back. I had a yelp check-in offer for a free glass of sparkling wine which they never honored even though i asked towards the end of dinner. One of the waiter came to our table and made the check sign and i nodded. Fifteen minutes later still no check I ask the same waiter and he forgot to tabulate our skewers (pinxchos). The glass of sangria was 10 euros. kinda steep imo. Many of the diners are tourist, I should have waited at our original place,

This place is one of the best restaurants my family and I have been to in Barcelona. The octopus was PHENOMENAL and so were the croquettes. The staff is so friendly and the ambience is very welcoming and comfortable. However, if you are looking for a place to eat good paella, this isn't it. We ordered seafood paella and it was very salty and not worth the price. I definitely recommend this restaurant for the tapas and the beautiful ambience!

The ambience of the restaurant was nice and clean. And our server was so friendly and funny too... But unfortunately the food was terrible! My family and I were very disappointed! Estimated time wait for our food was 45 minutes. My order: Seafood Paella $18 It was the worst seafood paella I've ever eaten! It was burnt and awful. Don't order this! Husband's order: Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli $11 Frozen food gone bad! Not fresh at all, it came out cold! I would not recommend any of my friends and family to come here. I will definitely not be back.

A delight to the senses! Incredible tapas action, and a culmination of flavors that I still haven't fully recovered from. I don't want to say life altering but expect a moderate change in the best way possible. An IOS upgrade, if you will. The type of food that'll make you gallop your way back home (so I've heard). Till we meet again, Teleféric.

Great food and tapas with a really nice Iberian ham available. Service was great, wouldn't recommend visiting if you're sensitive to cigarette smoke, though; even inside the scent was pretty think. Service was super good, our waiter spoke like 3 different languages so was definitely accommodating to us native English speakers. Duck bao was also delicious, along with the tomato bread; toasted to perfection. W/o a doubt one of the better restaurants in Barcelona since pretty much everything is a hit or miss. Would stop here again. Added bonus was the free glass of champagne w/ a check in thru Yelp, and sever gave entire table a free peach juice drink thing (w/o alcohol for the kids) which was great

I came in on a Tuesday night for dinner around 9pm and they were packed. It was only a 10 mins wait. They have menu for plate tapas to order but the pieces tapas were pre made on the two buffet style counters for you to go help yourself. Each item is priced differently. They price you base on the stick from the items eaten. I didn't like any of the little pieces tapas but I did enjoy the grilled octopus plate and the garlic prawns plate. They were the highlight of my meal. Tips, skip the pieces tapas and just order the plate dishes because most of the items I chose from the two counters were cold. The little pieces tapas are expensive for what they are also. Service was best during busy time

GREAT Spanish food. I had all the vegetarian tapas and they were fantastic. The home Sangrias were very tasty and presentation was unlike any other I've seen. We had some dessert as well and it was delicious. Totally recommend it!

Unfortunately Our first meal in Barecelona was a complete let down. This is a city famed for innovative and sophisticated cuisine and I had eagerly anticipated a superb culinary experiences and hoped my first meal here would validate my expectation. This was not how I wanted for my first meal here. Vinitus was too packed with 1 hr wait and we were starving. Was surprised teleric was empty. Upon entry the waiter immediately asked us what hotel had recommended us -first obvious bad sign. We ordered 7-8 diff tapas ranging from classic of octopus, potatas bravado, croquette, flatbread, sautéed prawns to foi grai. Also orders 2 diff paella, mixed and squid ink. Nothing really stood out. My wife, who had lived in Barcelona for 2 years admitted this place does not represent barcelona food scene well Worst offense of the night was their seafood. The grilled prawn and the shrimp in the paella were rancid. The flesh crumpled in our mouth and tasted foul. When I tore head off the prawn, there was no appetizing head fat, but black goo. Not sure how this place rated 4.5 star but I suspect yelp ratings may not be accurate in this city.

Limited menu but food was good. Slightly overpriced for what you get. Service was good and food was fresh.

The tuna tartare tacos so far have been the best thing I've had in Spain. Scallops were fantastic. Everything we ordered we had to pretend as if we weren't going to kick the plates clean. This place gives Ciudad Condal a run for their money in my favorite Barcelona restaurant. And for a plus, the staff (Aziz and Coni) is beyond friendly! I've had over a hundred meals in Spain, and it ranks as one of my favorites.

On our last night in Barcelona, 6 of us headed out to dinner at Teleferic. It's on a quiet street by a park, not far from the hustle and bustle of La Rambla de Catalunya. We were seated at the big table near the entrance. There was an Yelp check-in offer for cava and they gave it to all of us. We browsed the pintxos and got a bunch. Everything was oh so good. We also ordered many things to share from the menu: pluma, steak, garlic prawns, and grilled octopus to a name a few. We were all extremely impressed by the texture of the pluma, which seemed more like beef than pork. You can't really go wrong with any of the options. We also had the cheesecake, chocolate fondant, and crema catalana for dessert. All were decadent and the cheesecake was definitely the best.

Amazing wine and food. We redeemed the free copa de cava from our yelp check in. Came here twice because the food and service was so great. The truffled octopus was incredible and for entrees we had the salmon and bacaloa. Everything was phenomenal!

Turns out there are actually THREE teleferic's in Barcelona, but we mostly came here because it was close to our AirBNB. Turns out, it has some of the best tasting and most innovative tapas so far in our trip! My boyfriend still talks about the tuna tacos as some of the best that he's had. The grilled octopus was beautifully done and the brussel sprouts were crisped really nicely; no soggy brussel sprouts here! We tried the foie gras because it was the "#1 rated tapas" (not sure by whom or for what), and it was incredibly decadent. Finished off with some nice fried chicken (how could you go wrong?) this was one of the best tapas places we went to in Spain.

Telefèric, more like terrific. Came in with family for dinner. Cool decor, inviting atmosphere and attentive and friendly staff. We tried some of the tapas menu and opted for paella and ended with dessert. Great experience overall. Drinks: - mojito, very good - red sangria - white sangria - bottle of rioja Tapas: - tuna tartare, was incredible - mushrooms, the only item on the menu which we tried that left more to be desired. Came out to be very salty that it overpowered everything else - octopus, good but the sauce it was on was a little on the bland side - chicken and shrimp dumplings, amazing! - roasted duck ravioli, was phenomenal! - paella was excellent. It was six of us at dinner and they talked us into 4 portions - which turned out to be 18€ per portion and a little too much food. Unless you are looking to stuff itself, 1 portion should be good for 2.5-3 people. Order accordingly. Desserts: - chocolate truffle fondue, was the absolute best - cream Catalana, a crime brûlée was really good - cheese cake, not too sweet but just right - bread pudding, which wasn't bad

One of my favorite tapas meals in Barcelona. It is very busy but we arrived early and got a table in the back. Tapas were fresh, tasty and a good portion. Enjoyed the house wine. I used my yelp coupon and got a free glass of cava!!! They made a mistake on our bill but corrected it right away.

If you're looking for great service, come to Telefèric! The ambiance is cozy and the staff is amazing. Our server Aziz was super helpful and very attentive! The sangria was tasty and he even gave us a drink on the house at the end of our meal! Highly recommend coming here :)

Disappointing. Even though they advertise heavily here on yelp, my experience was not that good. Entering at 2pm, the restaurant was empty (all the other restaurants were filled with people from Barcelona, not a single local here). I was alone so instantly seated at a high table which isn't super comfortable (again: restaurant was empty). I took the tapas which are 2.5 per stick, which is expensive if you see how small they were. They were good but there was only a choice between 10 different tapas, which is very little compared to other pintxos restaurants. In the end I payed over 20 euros for 7 small tapas and a glass of red wine. The experience was ok, just don't get fooled by their ads and that guys mark zuckerberg story, there are better restaurants in Barcelona.

Teleféric was such a pleasant surprise. I went here with a group of 5 and we were seated at the table right in the front. The waitress was very helpful with her suggestions and told us to try the Sangria Barceloneta, which was by far the best choice. We ended up ordering lots of tapas. My favorites were the patatas bravas (one of my favorites in Barcelona so far) and the cauliflower dish. I actually enjoyed this place so much I went back a few days later despite the countless options I had. Will definitely be back soon and would absolutely recommend to everyone.

Teleferic was very close to our apartment and turned out to be an interesting find. It is owned by a Vietnamese family who know their Catalonian cuisine. We experimented with the pintxto style tapas and other small plates. Food was excellent. Service had quite a few hiccups but the food made up for it. Top mentions: Cod fritters , croquettes, Iberian ham, salmon stuffed with goat cheese and nuts, octopus with black truffle.

Please trust us and go to Teleferic when in Barcelona!! A beautiful restaurant, unique experience, fantastic, delicious food (seriously), and friendly and fast service!! Here are a few of our faves: patatas bravas, croquetas, burrata salad, and the tuna tartare. For dessert, the raspberry cheesecake!!! You must choose the cheesecake! Thank you Teleferic for an unforgettable dinner and memory of this beautiful city!!

I seriously don't understand why this place has such good reviews. The food and the service is just okay. My wife and I landed her because the good restaurants in the area all had hour long waits. The food was just okay. Majority of the menu is not tapas even though they say it is. We had the scallops which were drowning in curry. I didn't know curry was tapas style cooking. They served potstickers which you can get anywhere, especially at your average Chinese restaurant. Potstickers aren't tapas in my opinion. The chicken and cheese crokets tasted microwaved. I was personally disappointed but if nothing else is open, this place is better than going to McDonalds.

Great option of pinxchos. Fun atmosphere. More for tourists than a local destination. Great service. Good food.
