You’ll most likely be trying something new if you choose here. Food was very high quality and tasty. It’s easy to order more and spend a lot

A great experience！ We walked in the restaurant without a reservation. The waiter asked us to sit at the bar. They were so friendly it’s ok if you don’t speak Spanish. The food was delicious but a little bit salty.

Even though we walked in without a reservation, the staff kindly led us to the bar. The food, especially the octopus, was fresh and very delicious. Any tapa with garlic is a sure win as well. Will return to try the shrimp next time.

Omg not only was this the best service, the food was fantastic, the experience was excellent. The staff here is absolutely wonderful. The food was top notch, I highly recommend it. Make a reservation or have a beer/wine outside and wait for a table if you are lucky! We had a one night layover in Barcelona and stayed down the street. We didnt make a reservation but we wanted to wear here. The host told us to wait 30 minutes and there will be a spot open! Fantastic, we went next door had a beer and they called our name Sadly we weren't there... Our bad 😞 Anyhow we ordered a beer drank it outside cause we have a table opening for one hour if we wait this time. We got in ordered a bunch of food, bottles of wine and cava to celebrate. Met a beautiful newly wed couple sitting next to us!! We drank more wine. They gave us an extra 30 minutes and it was time to leave the restaurant! It was a rock and roll experience with the best food in Barcelona, at the best restaurant, with the best people!

A more fancy tapas, more expensive than others but the tapas are very good quality The beef tartar montadillo is so good, had to order another one, the Catalan French toast is also delicious 🤤 Careful with the sangria, it’s very good but also a little strong Overall 😋 💯 recomanded

We went to Paco Meralgo for tapas and really enjoyed it. We ordered pan con tomate, steak tartare on toast, patatas bravas, fried fresh onions, artichokes, a bomba, and chunks of garlic beef fillet everything was delicious and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was lively but cozy, and the staff were friendly and fast. Definitely a great spot for classic tapas in Barcelona!

Top spot to be visited for tapas sharing. Amazing food and service. Remember about reservation few weeks before arrival! Worth to wait tho, amazing menu

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent everything. We really liked this spot - also frequented by lots of locals. Make sure to bring some waiting time if you don’t have a reservation. Tipp: everything’s pretty good - still a great place to try a really good croquette !

Dimitrios Kleftogiannis

We had lunch at Paco Meralgo and were absolutely amazed! The tapas were full of flavor and beautifully prepared — highlights included the octopus with chorizo and jamón, white beans with fish, and a delicious open omelette with cod. My personal favorite was the sepia croquettes — some of the best croquettes I’ve ever had.The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are both friendly and very professional. Honestly, I could eat here every single day. A true gem in Barcelona

The place was packed! We didnt have reservations but they gave us a place in the bar. Being Filipinos, we were kinda shy ordering at first (haha!) but yeah google was helpful in giving recommendations so we just got the highly rated ones and my word, the steak was amazing! Super juicy and really garlicky. And the tiramisu was bomb!!! The place might be a bit intimidating for some but yeah just go in and try! The staff were patient enough to wait for our orders and they were friendly. It’s a must try if you are in the neighborhood :)

I go to a lot of very nice restaurants but this is something very very special. The prices are incredibly affordable for the quality of food, the atmosphere is very nice and the service is efficient and upbeat but quite pleasant. I think this might be the best restaurant in Barcelona and I'll let you try it and assess for yourselves.

Great place to try and share different spanish-cuisine dishes! Everything is prepared with care, is quickly served, has fresh ingredients, and is super tasty! Also the vibe and the service is really good. It feels like a cozy place to take some drinks and share tapas.

If you love tapas but want something more refined and elevated, Paco Meralgo is an absolute must. Every dish is packed with flavor and presented beautifully it’s the kind of place I make sure to visit every single time I’m in Barcelona. The atmosphere is lively yet elegant, and the staff are always welcoming and attentive. One detail I love: whenever someone leaves a tip, the team announces it out loud with great energy, adding a fun and unique touch to the dining experience. Highly recommend it’s one of those spots you’ll look forward to returning to again and again!

Barcelona’s unique, vibrant, tapas and dining osteria-style restaurant. The meeting-of-friends neighborhood spot, over the years has developed into a pilgrimage of foodies, locals and foreigners alike. And rightly so!!! The menu — sea and terra— is well researched and executed by a team of chefs. The slight knockdown on service. Albeit we had our dinner reservation, we had to wait for our table; afterwards, being visibly rushed to order off the extensive menu by a waiting stuff.

Llevaba tiempo queriendo ir y la verdad es que todo estaba muy bueno. Mucha variedad de tapas de calidad y muy buen carta de vinos. Los postres también muy ricos, especialmente la torrija. Eso sí, el servicio era algo lento y ruidoso, pero por lo demás, vale la pena.

Repetiremos!! Fuimos por recomendaciones que nos llegaron de amigos y redes. Local sin florituras, mesas altas y barra. Cocina tradicional con muy buen producto. Croquetas muy cremosas, bravas de verdad con su salsa, bola paco Meralgo rica, navajas muy buenas (aunque raciones escasa), canelon espectacular y el postre increíble. En definitiva, si buscas comer comida tradicional de buena calidad es tu sitio.

Restaurante de alta calidad de comida y muy alocado. Comes en barra o en pequeñas mesas dónde los camareros no paran arriba y abajo. Comimos en la barra es importante reservar porque el tiempo de espera puede ser largo y más si se quiere mesa. La comida es muy buena y el precio es bastante elevado el servicio es casi inmediato y las raciones son pequeñas per de calidad. Pd: una parte del menu son tapas y platillos y la otra parte son montaditos

Restaurante de tapas en el centro de Barcelona. Hemos cenado en dos sin reserva, esperando unos minutos para que nos dieran una mesa. Muy gentil la persona que nos ha recibido. El menu cuenta con varias tapas típicas con revisitaciones interesantes. Hay también platos fuera de carta. Posibles otras opciones de platos individuales y recomendaciones. Carta de vinos ok. Comida excelente, precios medio altos pero la calidad es muy alta. La atención y la actitud de los camareros y también el hecho que se grite mucho pueden no gustar. A mí no me ha gustado que el camarero me tocara, varias veces, ni que me hablara de muy cerca, aunque haya comunicado mí incomodidad. Recomiendo probarlo, porque la comida y el lugar, precioso, valen la pena. ----------- Tapas restaurant in the center of Barcelona. We dined here without a reservation, waiting a few minutes for a table. The person who greeted us was very kind. The menu features several typical tapas with interesting twists. There are also off-menu dishes. Other individual dish options and recommendations are possible. The wine list is okay. Excellent food, moderately high prices, but the quality is very high. The waiters' attention and attitude, as well as the loud shouting, may not be appealing. I didn't like the waiter touching me several times or speaking to me too closely, although I did express my discomfort. I recommend trying it, because the food and the location are worth it.

Good food and service, everything was top notch, specially the seafood and beef. We ordered ham as well but we might have had bad luck, as it was a leg they were just finishing and we got some tough cuts. I would recommend a visit for sure.

Wynona

I made reservations a month in advance, but you might be able to walk in because I saw some people waiting in line in front. The waiter spoke English, and the service was okay. It was very busy, so you have to be patient. The restaurant is very packed inside, and the seats are small. The food came out quickly. I highly recommend trying the Veal “carpaccio” with duck foie and seared toro!

Hemos ido un viernes al mediodía para comer 2 personas. El sitio esta aprovechado al máximo demasiado si buscas comer tranquilo. Pedimos 5 tapas para empezar pero solo llegaron 4 después de 25 minutos me comentaron que se habían olvidado de la quinta tapa porque tenían mucho lio como me dijo la camarera. En fin la comida es buena , el precio de los vinos algo exagerado entiendo que se ganen algo pero en algunas botellas te la cobran 5 veces más que en la tienda una vez visto (check) , para no volver más.

Experiencia muy normalita, tirando a decepción. Los precios son excesivos para la poca cantidad de comida de cada plato. Además, pagando lo que pagas, esperas mucho más sabor. El plato de chipirones 20€ para los pocos que venían… precio desproporcionado. La ensaladilla rusa es muy sosa, sin atún y prefabricada. De todo lo que he probado, recomiendo el bao de panceta ibérica.

MUY CARO POR LO QUE ES. No tiene sentido, adjunto el ticket: por ejemplo navajas 17,95, 4 Navas… el pan 1,45 euros el trozo de pan (la rebanada), 1 frifando con 2 trozos,!café solo 2,95 euros; el carajillo 5,10 euros… o sea bueno, pero el precio no es correcto. Mesas altas, servicio agresivo, rápido. 60 euros por cabeza, espero una mesa correcta con mantel.

The food is alright, but absolutely not for the price they are charging. The worst item was the prawns which somehow costs 32 euros for a meagre 7 small ones, and they were not fresh either. The server came over proudly to offer their tomato bread but it really just tastes like any other bread just made soggy in the center with a bit of tomato juice. The scallops were tiny and lacked taste. The meatball was honestly decent with good seasoning and had a pretty interesting sauce to go with it. The beef was entirely ordinary and nothing to write home about. The rabbit ribs were a overpriced for the portion, even though they were seasoned well. As a whole 90+ euros for what we got is not worth it and you are better off going for another tapas elsewhere.

Sorprende la alta valoración del sitio y que siempre esté lleno, cierto que la comida está rica pero a precios altísimos y raciones ínfimas. A menos que gastes mucho dinero te vas con hambre seguro. Igualmente ridículo que la botella más barata de vino Rioja cueste 38€. Aparte es incómodo con esas mesas altas y esos taburetes sin respaldo.

Experiencia muy decepcionante para un restaurante con una estrella Michelin. Llegamos pocos minutos antes de la reserva y no hubo ninguna bienvenida ni organización. Nuestros compañeros quedaron de pie en la entrada sin indicaciones claras. Una vez sentados, nos informaron que debíamos dejar la mesa a las 22:00, algo totalmente inapropiado para un restaurante de este nivel. El servicio fue deficiente. Parte del grupo era angloparlante y el personal no hizo ningún esfuerzo por comunicarse en inglés ni explicar los platos. Un compañero tuvo que traducir el menú. La actitud fue fría y poco profesional. El postre fue especialmente sorprendente. Pedimos trufas como postre para dos personas distintas (tres pedidos en total) y todo fue servido en un solo cuenco pequeño, como si se esperara que lo compartiéramos. Sin presentación, sin separación. ¿Esto es un restaurante con estrella Michelin? El final fue aún peor. El restaurante se negó rotundamente a separar la cuenta o incluso dividirla. Varias personas del personal intervinieron sin ofrecer solución. Finalmente, una mujer que parecía ser la gerente o la chef se acercó visiblemente molesta, fue extremadamente grosera y mostró una actitud muy frustrada y agresiva. La situación fue incómoda y vergonzosa, especialmente tratándose de una cena de trabajo con invitados internacionales. Esta experiencia no cumple en absoluto con los estándares que se esperan de un restaurante Michelin. Procederé a reportar este caso al comité de Michelin para su revisión.

When the food was brought to our table, the waiter placed the plates down with loud noises and without saying a word. Even so, we said “thank you” every time a dish was served. While pouring wine, the waiter did not look at us at all and was loudly talking with another waiter instead. We could not understand everything because it was in Spanish, but we clearly heard the word “Japanese.” It was obvious that they were talking about us in front of us, assuming we would not understand. This made us feel very uncomfortable. After we asked for the bill, the remaining plates on the table were cleared away silently and again with loud, careless movements. At first, we tried to think that this might simply be part of a more straightforward or casual Spanish service style. However, we noticed that other tables were treated very differently. Their food was served with smiles, and at the time of payment, staff even helped them put on their coats. We were not even asked whether we would like our coats to be taken care of. We did not order too little, nor did we stay an unreasonable amount of time. As much as we do not want to think so, we can only interpret this experience as some form of discrimination. We like Spain as a country and the people who live here. However, we will never return to this restaurant, and we would not recommend it to others. Please be careful of the tall, slender male waiter with tattoos on his arms.
