What an incredible experience. Not only Was the service top notch, the food amazing. Chef Xavier has created some of the best dishes I have eaten. The lamb chops to die for and his rendition of caprice salad is one you have to eat to say you have really experienced something amazing. Sangria was delicious and very reasonably priced. We were fortunate to have Chef Xavier sit with us and share life experiences. We live about an hour away and this will be a treasured place we will visit often. Salute.
Fantastic hidden gem of a Spanish restaurant that is actually run by a Spanish chef! The food is always incredible and ambiance and decor make you feel like you walked into Spain. Can't recommend this place highly enough.
We stumbled upon this gem last night, and what a lucky stumble it was! I was set on trying something new and wonderful and that is what I got. I'm a bit of a food snob, and I enjoy good classic dishes from different ethnic backgrounds; I did not leave disappointed at all. Barcelona Tapas has delicious dishes that are simply perfect, and fantastic customer service. We tried a few of the tapas and paella. I highly suggest the grilled calamari and the sangria! It is evident how passionate chef is about the restaurant and the food he serves. We are looking forward to going back to try more menu items. I must also add that this New Orleans dining treasure would make an ideal intimate date spot.
This is a wonderful and cozy place. The Chef served our food explaining each item. Great drink selection, relaxed atmosphere. It reminded me of eating in Europe. We shared a delicious selection of tapas. The garlic soup, lamb, and calamari are my favorites.
The food was fantastic, the chef was personal with his customers and a very nice guy. I would highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely return when we come back into town!
My first tapas. Will be impossible to improve upon! You know when you've had the best. The Calamari was like another animal, tender and tasty. I live in New Orleans. I will not go to any other Tapas restaurant period.
Love this place, as soon as you walk in the smells capture your senses. The ambience is romantic and cozy. Nice wine selection for amazing tapas! Love the chefs passion, and the Spanish taste comes through every dish! One of my favorite places!!
Excellent food and excellent recommendations——my teenage son loved every bite!
Bareclona Tapas was amazing I tried the paella valenciana sooo sooo good I loved the atmosphere and everything chef laurentino was so nice as well!!
We had such a great dinning experience. Our waitress was awesome. She explained to us about Tapa and helped us with our ordering. Best for families and close friends. Top notch. Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing. Better than our tapas in Barcelona. This is our new staple restaurant.
Every item that he been put in front of us has been absolutely amazing. Great food, price, atmosphere, and wine choice. Can't wait to bring friends back.
A gem in the Riverbend area! (And you canusually park close!) My grown children and I love to pick lots of tapas and share. And everything we’ve gotten has been delicious! Get a pitcher of Sangria! Yummm and a great value. And a convo with Xavier is a must!!
Amazing food � Everything was spectacular!!!!!!!!!
El chef sabe de qué va todo el cocina en el cielo
1st visit, I'm from Houston and we just love this food! Tapas are just perfect and the Paella Valenciana OMG outstanding, we got recommendations from the chef and it made the evening just great! Next time we visit New Orleans definitely we will have Barcelona Tapas!
Cannot say enough about this place! The atmosphere, the food, the people were EXCEPTIONAL & GO ABOVE/BEYOND to make your experience so lovely. The food was SO FLAVORFUL & each bite was like fireworks going off inside your mouth with each new bite. We had a party of six & everyone tasted & loved everything down to the Sangria we drank too. This is DEFINITELY a hidden gem inside of NOLA’s melting pot cuisine here. Being a local New Orleanian born & raised here - I WILL DEFINITELY be back soon & visit this establishment frequently. :)
We absolutely love Barcelona Tapas! Service is amazing and so is the chef, Javier! My favorite is definitely the garlic shrimp and the paella. The dessert was to die for as well! We ordered a ton of tapas for the table and it was honestly a wonderful experience. I have to recommend this place to any foodie in the city!
One of the best dinners and experiences I've had in a while. Thoroughly enjoyed every item we ordered. Ate am early dinner so was able to visit with the Chef. Let him choose our last 3 items for the table. He rounded odd our dinner perfectly. There was an older couple dining next to us who had been coming here for 24 years. This was our first time and I wish we had found it years ago. This restaurant just became top of our list for dining when in New Orleans. Can't wait to come back soon.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. service made me feel so at home. Every single dish you could tell was made from scratch and with love. Every single bite was fantastic. I felt like I was at home in my dads kitchen as a young child once again. I love love love this place and will absolutely be returning!!!! The lamb was the best I’ve ever had. The Serrano Ham was fantastic. So pleased I found this place. Get yourself a pitcher of sangria as well!
Wonderful restaurant! The service was great. The chef came out multiple times to check with us on about our food. He taught us the best way to eat some of the tapas. The food was amazing, some of the best I have ever had! Definitely a winner. Note: The restaurant Excepts cash only, so make sure you are prepared.
I’ve been all over Spain. I’ve lived in Miami most of my life. This is by far the best Spanish food I’ve ever had. Chef Xavier treats you like family. Just sit back, order lots of tapas, let the food comes as it does with a glass of sangria
It felt exactly like being in Spain, the ambiance to the amazing food. Authentic and totally delicious. Totally recommend
Everything here was absolutely amazing. The owner is very passionate about his food and you can taste it in the food. The atmosphere is makes you feel like you are at home in Spain.
Phenomenal tapas and entrees. Lorenzo recommended a fantastic wine and took great care of us. Atmosphere was divine. An experience to remember.
Sangria was delicious and literally every dish we had was incredible. Really nice Atmosphere as well!
