THE BEST TAPAS IN BCN! We cleared our plates entirely. Everything on there menu was good, you won't go wrong ordering here. We sat outside which was very comfortable and warm despite the cooler weather.

I absolutely love this place . As as solo traveler , this is the perfect place to enjoy their delicious offerings at the bar from the tortilla espanola , grilled shrimp skewers and my ultimate favorite, foie on beef tenderloin , all paired with a small bottle of cava . Great , vibey ambiance with fast service . Yes it's a tourist spot which is to be expected as it's in that part of the town , close to shopping ( both medium and high end stores ). Though I was there alone , it's a great place to come with a group ! I wish I came with more people so I can try the other delicious dishes ( an example , another person at the bar ordered the eggplant chips which looked incredible ). Next time ...

This is a solid tapas bar near Placa de Catalunya. It shares the same owner as Cervesaria Catalana and Vinitus. My favorites are the eggplant chips, and the shrimp and asparagus tempura. The eggplant chips were crispy and had a nice sweet drizzle on top. I have never dipped shrimp tempura in romesco sauce before, but it was nice, kind of felt like it was a Japanese-Spanish fusion tapa. The torrija (Spanish French toast) was good too. Service was pretty fast. Given the number of tourists in the area, I am sure they would want to turn over the tables as soon as possible. Unlike other tapas places in touristy areas, this one gets a big thumb up from me.

Great service from the front staff on a very busy time and date. Food was great, prices are very reasonable. Cod, beef tenderloin and razer clams are a must!! No wonder the great reviews. Here's another 5 stars Ciutat Comtal!

Let me start by saying how delicious this place is. Everything we tried was spot on! The service is impressively quick. Despite arriving without reservations at 9 PM on a Friday, we were seated promptly. Next time we're in Barcelona, we will definitely return to Ciutat Comtal. Some standout dishes were the cod, the mini burgers, the crema catalana, and my all-time favorite, the torreja Sta Teresa!

We were immediately seated at the bar. Servers were nice. The food was good. We really enjoyed the roasted peppers. The sirloin with foie gras on top was very rich. The churros were nice and crunchy. The crema catalana was like a creme brûlée.

Thought we would have to wait a bit to get seated, but there's a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor. Even with so many customers, their service was rather fast and efficient. Once we got seated, they wasted no time and asked us if we were ready to order. We ordered a few traditional Spanish tapas, which we were all very delightful CALAMARI ANDALUSIAN: Loved this! The batter was very thin and the calamari were all very thick and bouncy! These were so easy to eat and the citrus from the lemon cut the oiliness from the calamari. CROQUETTES: Crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside. I loved the croquettes and could probably inhale a ton of these. PAPAS FRITAS: I'm not a huge papas fritas fan, but my boyfriend is and he loved the sauce and seasoning on the potatoes. The potatoes were crispy on the outside, but soft and pillowy inside as well. TENDERLOIN AND FOIE GRAS MONTADITO: I didn't love this as much especially for what it's worth. The tenderloin was hard to chew through and the foie gras just seemed a little extra on top of it. Nothing about the flavors really stood out. But the one item that deserves a category of it is own is the TORRIGA QUEMADA DE STA TERESA. Oh my goodness! This bread pudding was amazing! The custard was brûlée and toasty, but creamy and rich. Even the bread soaked in everything and was creamy and very flavorful. If there's anything you should get, it's this!

Came in for lunch and only had to wait about 15 minutes for a table for 4. The hostess was very friendly. She then led us upstairs to our table that was against a wall near the waiters station. Service wasn't speedy but we got everything we ordered and everything was so good!! Even our simple steak sandwich was so delicious!! I am so glad we were able to enjoy lunch here!

We had our first meal and our last meal in Barcelona here. Both times we were seated almost immediately, but we did see lines when we left. Timing is everything. Service was fast and the two waiters that we had were both friendly and brought our food quickly. We liked the asparagus and mushrooms so much that we got it both times. The patatas bravas and the churros with chocolate were also repeats. The flan was very good and the squid tentacles were delicious but sold out by our second visit. Our least favorite was the grilled spring onions. The restaurant is fairly large and has outdoor seating.
