Ten's Tapes Restaurant Barcelona

Amazing experience. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. The food literally melts in your mouth. Don’t skip this restaurant! Very creative tapas in a lovely atmosphere with helpful waitstaff and reasonable prices.

I mentioned that my sangria was a bit strong, and to my surprise, they changed it and didn’t even charge me. The service was excellent—super attentive and thoughtful. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Great experience overall!

OK we have been here a couple times over the years and were not that impressed. But yesterday we decided to give it another go and we are so glad we did, it was amazing in all aspects. We ordered 6 dishes and loved them all, and the service was very attentive. Here was our line up: Iberian ham; low temperature egg with a foam of cheese (outstanding); "fish & chips" in brioche w/ smoked yogurt; spiral potato fry w/garlic foam and spicy saute; tomato stuffed w/ smoked stracciatella cheese; & bacon brioche "slider". I would order every one of these dishes again plus there is a lot more to choose from. Go!

Tried 5 tapas: Ribs - too salty for our preference, we guessed it might have gone well with beer? Marinated wings - wings had an interesting flavour for me but the crispy hollow bun with the foam didn’t really add any flavour profiles, my wife wasn’t a massive fan of the wings though.. Calamari - flavour was nice but we thought that it wasn’t fried/crispy enough (almost like the oil wasn’t heated up before cooking) Russian salad - very delicious! Flavourful but not too overpowering Patatas bravas - the best dish we had, the garlic foam + the red sauce was delicious when combining the two. The potatoes were also sufficiently crispy but not too dry on the inside PS: We were super full after the meal

High cuisine tapas with the approval seal from Jordi Cruz, it obviously did not disappoint. Every time I come to Barcelona I love to try “pricey” places (which when compared to London they aren’t really). The quality though it is miles away to what you pay in London for. Every single plate was unique and each bite enveloped a variety of tastes and aromas form the beginning to the end. The place is nice and the staff are ok. I am not sure if we had inexperienced staff serving us but they were struggling with our questions (nothing dramatic, asking for recommendations or questions about the food for dietary requirements). I would definitely recommend it if you are visiting Barcelona.

As a tapas restaurant, I would rate 4 for the cost performance! I tried the tasting menu. Beef tartar was amazing! Price is reasonable. But here some improvement if compared to Michelin restaurant: waitress should let the customer taste the wine before pouring the whole glass(common sense); more staff with English skills so the great work by chef can be known(sauce in dogfish fries was amazing but definitely not mayonnaise which the waitress explained to me…); arrange the menus consider the temperature of the dishes(icy ceviche and hot fried dishes are after each other throughout the first half, and my gum and stomach challenged by the sudden temperature change all the time)

A few years ago the food was good, today we were deeply disappointed in every way. The service was dreadful (we waited 30 minutes for the second round of tapas, and only got them when we stacked the plates on our table, empty water bottles were only picked up very late, when put right in front of them, no cleaning of the table when they spilled sparkling wine, nobody asked how the food was - even when we barely touched it, plates just put down on the table without care or elegance and very short to no explanation), the food was basic and not well balanced (steak tartar that tasted only of mustard, starters not special, fish and chips not good at all, shrimps and mushroom tasted only like soy sauce, the pink panther tasted like a velvet cake mix...) We advise to quickly have a quality check of staff and food !!! Price-quality not at all okay !!!

So soooo good!the best patatas bravas in Barcelona !trust me I’ve tried a lot of places

This felt like a good, not great meal. We were really excited about this meal but ended up a bit disappointed, maybe in part due to high expectations. The food was tasty; we especially liked the tartare tacos, egg & cheese dish (loved the bowl and was a really unique mix of flavors and textures), and fish tiradito - really beautifully plated, bright and acidic dish. The chocolate textures desserts was also artistically plated. I really enjoyed the different temperatures and textures of chocolate through this playful dish, though it did become too sweet given the amount of chocolate. The remaining dishes were good but not great. The sliders felt a little bit uninspired and the spiral potatoes with peppers didn't taste all that good - it was fried nicely and looked cool but didn't do more to excite. The orzo "fideua" tasted very nice but the accompanying meatball was rather dry and bland. Service was fine, however, the pacing of the meal was off. A couple times we were just digging into our dish when the next was brought out, not a huge complaint but the food cooled off and the table got a bit crowded. Overall, the food was good but I think there are better tasting menus in BCN.

I was lucky enough to be staying at the Park Hotel - Ten's is on the ground floor of the hotel. It was also on my list of places to eat. I must say I was impressed with the food...Wow! Each dish was like nothing I have ever had. My favorite was the Low Temperature Egg with foam of cheese, Parmesan shavings, Iberian ham and bread crumbs is a Must Get when you visit. I also recommend the Tomato stuffed with smoked Stracciatella cheese, and the Taco of Iberian pork steak tartar with fried capers. The food was so good I ate there two nights in a row. If you go same day, call to make a reservation. Otherwise, doing it online works too. It also helps if you are staying at the hotel. If I am ever in Barcelona again, I will make sure to stop at Ten's for the tapas!

Wonderful waitresses very alert, kind, and delightful. Definitely would return when in Spain again

Not sure how to put it. Good food. Great service but a bit of a letdown in terms of expectations. If you look at the site and expecting the touch of Jordi Cruz. Instead you have top notch service one would expect but the tasting menu lacked for the lack of the better word soul. May be this was because we came to dinner on Christmas Eve but it seems that we were not the only ones and a lot of restaurants were closed on that day but again I would have expected better from the tasting menu and from the chef instead we have received good food with excellent service but complete lack of flair. I mean I don't expect the flair of ABaC but at least something....

So so delicious, everything I ordered was on point, full of flavor and cooked to the right point. Every dish came with an explanation of what it was, couldn't have enjoyed a better place. Thank you Chef Jordi Cruz.

Very good food! We went here for a bachelorette party and the tapas and wine were delicious! The egg was divine!

This place was awesome! We got the patatas bravas, fried dogfish, Iberian spareribs, steak tartare, smoked octopus, and Esqueixada-style cod. Everything was very modern with beautiful presentation of dishes. Prices are on the higher side for normal tapas, but this place is Michelin rated and is worth it.

I count myself fortunate I stumbled onto this place earlier tonight. Chef Jordi Cruz has an outstanding pedigree with his 4 Michelin stars. Let's forget I know this less this shades my review. Ten's menu caught my eye. It hung off the awning leaning into the pedestrian path's center. It highlighted the 15 tapas menu items in 3 languages including English. I quickly scanned looking for something interesting and I found it, but would my friends want to try this restaurant? They did. After checking with management, we sat ourselves outside. As our server was receiving our drink orders, he sung Chef Jordi's praises. For myself, I ordered the foie gras dish with sichuan pepper ice cream (intriguing) and the slow cooked egg dish. I also shared some bread, fried potatoes, and black rice. Onto the dishes. Mine were very attractive dishes, quite well presented. I even added pictures to the Yelp photo section. Overall, the foie gras dish was quite sweet. The crunchy topping alleviated some of the sweetness. I was hoping the sichuan pepper ice cream might lend slight heat, but even that was blatantly sweet. What sat between each foie gras piece was lost in the shuffle. The second presented dish was the slow cooked egg. It sounded really good and again, presented well. However, I was told that to properly eat it, one must swirl it around thoroughly and apply it atop the tomato toast. My gorgeous dish became a seething eggy mass. It tasted nice, the egg overwhelmed everything else. The iberian ham, sobrassada paprika sausage, mature gouda - all lost. Where does this leave Ten's? Merely satisfactory. I appreciate Chef Jordi Cruz's presentation skills and willingness to pair disparate items. However, I am underwhelmed when a dish doesn't elevate any one flavor or masks too many pieces. Also, the service was confusing at times. Our waiter was quite thorough, but sometimes too quick with his suggestions. Customer(s) and waiter must work harder to overcome both language difficulties (he spoke acceptable English, though quick and Catalan tinted) and a challenging menu.

The 62€ degustation is great for understanding why this restaurant is Michelin-guide rated. The food was creative and fun and some plates were truly remarkable. For me, the oyster with uni, the beef tartare taco, the micuit egg, and the shrimp were lovely. The real winner is their dessert selection. Italian coffee and the Pink Panther were both lovely and had great flavor combinations (sweet, umami) and textures. The reason this isn't five stars: I've eaten at a number of Michelin star and guide-rated restaurants, and this one, sadly, lacks the service to match its incredible food. While I was in the middle of my egg dish, the waitress brought out my next course (?!). On numerous occasions, I had to ask for silverware--when the waitress didn't take the used utensils and place them back down in the settings (?!). These are basics that unfortunately detracted from the experience. That having been said, try this place! The food is absolutely worth it!!

Glad I got to stop by this place. Came here for lunch and we got to sit outside. It was really nice! Michelin star rated so of course everything we ate was amazing. We had really amazing oysters ($6 each) but well worth it. Hamachi ceviche and it was so fresh! Lobster and foie gras rice was also very tasty! Of course we had to order octopus too and it was awesome. Everything was very small so we didn't leave extremely full but it was a good amount.

Very nice place in front of the French Train Station. Nice tapas and excellent service!

Absolutely delicious restaurant !!!! I've eaten the most amazing and tasty tapas in Barcelona. Prices are quite high but really if you prefer quality than quantity just head to this restaurant. You won't be disappointed. I've eaten some Iberico Lacrima, pulpo, fresh tuna fish and every thing was perfect.

Excellent tapas, good prices, friendly service and nice house wines. The onion soup and tuna tartare were highlights. Don't miss the tomato bread loaded with garlic, and crunchy calimari

My wife and I were quite excited to try this place given the mostly stellar reviews and proximity to our hotel. Sadly, it was quite dissatisfying. We did the "Top Ten" tasting menu, and overall: Food: - some dishes were tasty, but nithing was remarkable or memorable for the right reasons - the fried fish was incoherent, and the sauce was too heavy for a delicate protein - short ribs were much too salty - etc etc Service: - very nice bartender! - each item was rushed out while we barely started eating the previous one - our server probably wanted the day off, he was clearly disinterested with his tables I would like a redo on this one

Pretty good, but the service was a bit brusque (not normal for Barcelona), and the food was good, but not amazing. I will readily admit that I am jaded in Barcelona, there is so much good food that in any other city this place would probably rate higher.

Just found the business card to this place and reminded me to write a quick review. Interesting menu, good design and well located between El Borne and Barceloneta.

I stumbled into this place for lunch after a hot afternoon of wandering and shopping. I was hoping for a nice glass of wine and much needed A/C, but the food was out of this world. I had the soft egg with prosciutto, steak tartar and oyster tapas. All were delicious. Presentation was beautiful. Even the bread was better than other restaurants. I highly recommend it. The portions are on the smaller side so if you are more than one person you may need double orders if you want more than a few bites each.
