We pottered down there a bit earlier than the usual late lunch to try and avoid the lines. It was worth it we were seated straight away and enjoyed the view of amazing tapas on display. The bar stools just inside offered a great view of inside and out plus a lot of the tapas can be seen. Our waiter... More

By far our best meal in Barcelona. This restaurant was recommended by our hotel. I am so happy it was! The line was out the door when we arrived. 15 minutes later, when we were finally able to give our name to the hostess, we were told it would be another 40-50 minutes. Five minutes later (after calling out a... More

Had to queue about 30-40 min at 4 in the afternoon! to get a table but it was well worth it. Service is prompt, polite and helpful although they are very busy. The tapas are amazing, we had patatas bravas, foie gras, mini burger, hot dog, manchego, croquetas...and more. I recommend all of them. Everything on the menu is excellent.... More

I've been there the second time and it was amazing. We arrived at nine, but had to wait more then one hour. But that's normal for Barcelona for the really good places. We ate a lot of tapas with four persons, drunk a lot and paid around 100-120€. Absolutely recommendable!

Nice place to go with some friends the place is always packed so expect a little bit of waiting time or call ahead, prices are not high and the tapas are awesome.

We walked straight in and got a table on a Sunday lunchtime, but a queue soon formed in the doorway. Despite clearly being a guidebook staple, it didn't feel overly touristy and the food was great. We feasted on pimientos de padron, excellent pan con tomate, garlic-heavy mushrooms, manchego cheese, croquetas, tender grilled veal, and a delicious one-bite mini-hamburguesa. The... More

I ate tapas everyday when I was in Barcelona. I tried 5 different tapas restaurants, but found Cerveceria Catalans the best. I went there three times within 6 days, but the second time, it was over-packed, so I did not eat there. Overall, good atmosphere, average service, reasonable price, good location and the most is, very good tapas. I missed... More

Enjoyed the tapas. Good selection of seafood tapas, moderately priced. It's a busy restaurant, very popular, so there's usually a wait for a table and a lot of hustle and bostle. But authentic and service is polite.
