Muy recomendable la comida buenísima los Garbanzos con chipirones y cebolla espectaculares y si o si hay que pedir las bravas con una salsa casera buenísima. El personal también increíble muy atentos con un servicio estupendo

Lo de las estrellas Michelin está ya un poco desfasado, no son actuales Pero, el servicio es estupendo aunque la cantidad sea en ciertas tapas un poco excasa

Hemos comido un tapeo muy rico. Un lugar agradable y elegante.

Comida deliciosa!! Porciones adecuadas, buena ubicación del lugar, limpio y amplio. El personal muy amable. Precios razonables y variedad de menú.

Posiblemente los mejores mejillones que nos hemos comido en BARCELONA. Sumando una atención inmejorable por parte de los camareros . Bonito, agradable y muy cómodo para compartir.

I’ve been here three times over the last couple of months and not only are the tapas great (especially the aubergine with honey!!) but the servers are so friendly and sweet. It makes such a difference. So if you’re looking for an authentic, nice place for your tapas: this is it.

Excellent food and service - memorable tapas! We loved the bravas (the sauce is insane), the peppers, croquetas, chorizo….so many great options.

We were amasse by the menue and didn’t know what to choose, thank you for Motse. She was simply amazing and all the dishes she chose for us were exquisite.

so, i really liked it here! got a bit of a hangover from the Sangria, but may be just a me problem. the Aubergine with goat cheese and honey was divine. wonderful selection of tapas, price was friendly to my budget, and the staff super helpful and friendly.

Fantastic Catalan-style bites, a must-try for tapas lovers I popped in for lunch and left very pleased. This place does a nice job with straightforward, well-executed dishes that make for a satisfying casual meal. The portions are generous and the plating is attractive, great for sharing or a hearty solo lunch. The potatoes with sausage and cheese were the standout for me. The potato cubes arrive crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, generously topped with slices of sausage (chorizo-style) and a creamy, smoky cheese/sauce. The combination of textures, crunchy potato, snappy sausage and gooey cheese, works really well, and the dish has a comforting, homey flavor without being heavy-handed. Perfect as a starter or to share. The “Catalan kebab” (as listed) is also worth ordering. It’s served on toasted bread layered with tomato sauce, then piled with tender lamb, strips of sweet red peppers, and dollops of garlicky mayo. I can really see the vision here, it feels like a true fusion of kebab flavors with a distinctly Catalan palate. The tomato base adds brightness, the lamb brings depth, and the garlic sauce ties it all together. It’s bold but balanced, and something a little different from the usual tapas. Service was friendly and the atmosphere relaxed, a good spot for an easy lunch or a casual evening bite. If I had one minor suggestion it would be to add a touch of acidity (like a wedge of lemon or pickled garnish) to balance the richness, but that’s a small quibble. All in all, highly recommended.

Visited in October 2013 - Two blocks off Passeig de Sant Joan, De Tapa Madre doesn’t shout, but it’s always full of locals with a spillover of tourists from the Sagrada Família. Inside it’s small tables and chatter, outside parasols on the pavement. The bread with tomato came billed as “the best in Barcelona” - a bold claim, but the coca de vidre was as it should be: crisp, lacy, olive oil for succulence, sweet tomato rubbed in. Almost perfect, only the tomato held it back (9.5/10). Croquettes of Jabugo ham were crisp, balanced, and very good - another grind of pepper would have made them great (9/10). Then the pop a la gallega: tender octopus, potatoes with a dusting of paprika, garlic dressing - simple, precise, and unforgettable (10/10). We dragged things out with crema catalana and Gaudí’s truffle stones; both well-made, but patisserie isn’t the kitchen’s strongest suit (9/10). Honest, generous, and the sort of place you only leave because you have to.

Amazing food, great prices, nice atmosphere. English speaking staff and menus, but clientele mainly Spanish, so great authenticity but also good for tourists. Really good find, especially as the area is touristy.

We loved the food and wine here!

LOVED this place!! My friend and I wandered across and were drawn in by the great menu and reasonable prices, and it exceeded expectation. We ordered the rice mushroom and meat (more than enough for two people!), as well as the bellini (yum!). Finally, amazing service and the server was patient as we practiced our spanish :)

Natasha Bartley

All of our food was absolutely delicious. The servers were very kind and accommodating for English speakers. The drinks were delicious too and reasonably priced.

Amazing tapas restaurant! We came for a family gathering and were able to try a lot of items from the menu. Everything was really delicious and the service very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend!

Sort of tripes soup? Very unique and nice chewy texture. It requires some time cuz it is slow cooked dish. Staffs are super nice super kind. Would definitely come back next time 까탈루냐 양곱창 스프

Best harmon (with a subtle hint of fruit taste) I had in Barcelona, tapas were good as well. very cozy environment and friendly staff. price is very reasonable. We saw many locals had food or drinks there too while we were there (2017-12-22).

Local ideal para tapear de calidad. Muy buen servicio y atención, en especial el gerente o propietario. La cocina es muy buena para ser tapas y sirven bastante rápido para todo el trajín que tienen de gente y mesas. Tienen varias salas y terraza para mucha gente. Detalle de darte unas hierbas gratis al acabar el servicio. Buena música de ambiente.

7/5/24 He vuelto con unos familiares al De Tapa Madre y he de rectificar la valoración. Hemos comido muy bien. Unas croquetas y unas bravas -con la salsa encima- y un menú mediodia de 16€. Buena calidad y buen servicio. Publico muy local. 26/4/24Un restaurante de l'Eixample que con los años se ha convertido en un lugar muy frecuentado por turistas muy curiosos por el tapeo. Las bravas, del montón

Servicio correcto, profesional. Las tapas y platos también, aunque los garbanzos con chipirones estaban algo resecos. Pero no desmerecen en absoluto. Seguirán mejorando.

Hace tres años vine a este restaurante. Este es lo que vi en un programa japonés. El camarero puede hablar japonés. Me parece que unos platos son un poco caro. Quiero ir a este restaurante otra vez. Es que no tuve mucho tiempo.

Relaxed atmosphere with nice food! If you want some quick tapas along your adventures this is a great spot! The garlic prawns were unreal!

James M

It would be a great little place if the service were more attentive than five stars. We visited Spain in mid-March, and Barcelona was a must. We saw this place and thought, why not? The waiter was friendly and helpful, but we had to wave him down for more drinks, and I know in Spain, they are laid back, but it could have been better. Try the cod tapas and calamari amazing!! The beer was ice cold, and the wine menu was more than enough.

We had some tapas outside and it was surprisingly good. Nothing fancy or sophisticated but all good especially the patatas braves, the squid ink paella with the lobster was too salted. Wine was simple too but enjoyable to drink.

Buena cerveza precio accesibles y comida bien típica, falta un poco de atencion tal vez la hora, hay que estar levantando la mano para ser atendido

Sandy van Heerden

Food tasty, but service non existant. Wanted to order more wine, but waitress missing in action. Tripe rather tough, Patatas Bravas very bland, but fried Sardines very good. Greek salad, Tripe, fried sardines Patatas Bravas, q glass of wine and 1 Gin & Tonic € 42-40

Might have been the worst meal I've ever had. I've never seen brown soup paella. Disgusting lobster. Coquette was burnt and gross. Their verdejo wine tasted spoiled. They said 30 min wait for the Paella so we thought maybe we would be there an hour so we bought a bottle as opposed to a glass. Paella came out in 10 mins. Probabaly could've used the extra 20 mins. I can't believe this has a 3.8 star rating. Writing this to save everyone time and money as we are planning for an actual dinner at this point. Shame on the chef and the owner. Please take a good look at the photo I'm attaching.
