“ Service was on point. We had quite the wait, but were offered drinks while we did and the beer was served in a chilled glass - nice touch. The food is tapas style but prepared by the kitchen. This was so much fun and everything was unexpected, but yummy. A few that come to mind are scalloped potatoes, shepherds pie, chorizo, green beans, salmon, fries, kebabs. Our waiter was the best and this was a lot of fun! ”

“ We went in early November. It was my first night in Barcelona, and I was pretty tired from traveling. This was a perfect spot. Staff was welcoming, it was cozy and quirky, and I was grateful to have all the lovely dishes coming out without having to read a long menu and trying to pick. We were happily full by the end, but still ordered the Crema Catalan which was delicious. The mojitos were perfect. When I travel I like to visit the non chain, off beat restaurants when I can. This didn't not disappoint. ”

“ Took us quite a while to figure out where this place was, but it was worth it. I wasn't even hungry and we finished everything on the board. Thr shrimp and potatoes were amazing. The shrimp was soft and sweet. The mayo aioli and whatever seasoning they put on the potatoes was amazing. The crispy fish on the bottom left was also light and flaky. The dessert drinks at the end were a nice touch. ”

“ The food was delicious. The best hummus I've ever tasted. There was a 20 minute wait but well worth it. I am so happy I found this gem ”

“ I'd give this place 3.5 stars but I'm being generous and rounding up to 4. It's hard to say I'd "recommend" this place with so many amazing tapas places in Barcelona, but I guess this is a decent place to try if you're looking for a budgeted intro into tapas food. As for the establishment; centrally located in the gothic neighborhood - not far from la rambla; typical small interior but a bit kitschy. Service was standard, nice and friendly staff. For food you really only have two options with the menu - the prefix with or without the charcuterie board, $40 or $50 respectively. We went with the board. The food was okay, 3 stars at most. Good quantity; definitely a lot of food for two people, but nothing really special in terms of dishes with quality. Perhaps the shrimp and mussel paella might be the highlight for me, and the turkey kabob and the brisket was decent, while the remaining dishes were either bland or completely missed the mark (example: the mustard chicken wasn't appetizing and hard to eat; we didn't have more than one bite). Also the charcuterie board was "just okay," not a lot of variety and quality matched character of the rest of the meal. I felt the prices were fairly reasonable given the quantity and quality. Prices appear on the low side given the quantity of food you get, but perhaps this is like a buffet where they just scoop from the few mass made dishes onto smaller plates prior to brining it to your table -- and hence, "that's the rub." While I certainly wouldn't come back here; if it's your first time in Barcelona and you're looking for an inexpensive crash course into tapas, consider giving this place a go. ”

“ Best tapas and dining experience in Barcelona! The service was extremely attentive and friendly. An awesome atmosphere with great tunes. My kids and I had a great time! ”

“ I heard about this place before arriving in Barcelona, so it was already on my list of must-visit eateries. Despite the long line and a wait of over 45 minutes, I can confidently say it was worth every minute. We decided on the €40 surprise tapas for two, and since there were four of us, we were treated to a generous platter featuring two appetizers, 16 tapas, and shots to finish. It was an absolute delight! Each dish showcased exquisite preparation and a variety of flavors and styles, truly a culinary adventure for our palates. Their sangria was also a highlight of our trip. The cozy atmosphere made it perfect for a romantic date night. Overall an amazing experience. ”

“ Bodega Biarritz 1881 was such a great experience for me while in Barcelona. The location was within walking distance from my hotel. I found it looking through Yelp. The location is so cozy and intimate. I went solo and sat in the bar area, but I could see this being a really nice place for a date. The lighting was low, and the background music made the vibe of this place really nice. The menu is a curated special of tapas I believe. You have a selection of either a small or larger course of tapas. Since I was alone, I opted for the smaller course of tapas. I enjoyed my tapas, but I would have loved to have shared the larger option with a friend. Maybe that means I'll have to come visit again. I also appreciate the selection of wine recommended to me, but I could kick myself for not having some Sangria while there. Maybe next time. ”

“ This spot is a traditional tapas bar in Barcelona, Spain...located in the Gothic Quarter, and it is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. Be ready for a large crowd if you go at a peak time. The menu at Bodega Biarritz 1881 features a variety of traditional tapas dishes, including patatas bravas, croquetas, and grilled sardines. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they are always happy to make recommendations. Some of my favorite tapas dishes were the patatas bravas. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the sauce was flavorful and spicy. We also loved the cod fish, filet mignon bites and best of all...the best bread pudding we've ever had. Overall, I had a great experience at Bodega Biarritz 1881. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this bar to anyone looking for a great place to enjoy tapas in Barcelona. ”
