Here I shared with you the best tapas restaurant in Barcelona. Spain is known for the concept of having this kind of food in tapas accompanied by a glass of beer or any drinks you prefer to choose. Literally, the meaning of tapas is one small savory dish.
The size of each tapas could vary, I know and I have been experiencing this in different kinds of restaurants I have been to. What I like about this tapas concept is you get to try a lot of dishes on small plates. I like to try a lot of dishes and the tapas concept allowed me to, and you don’t need to pay too much because of that. As I like to order a life of dishes with small portions rather than one big plate. I hope you like the list of tapas restaurants I provided below, just take note most tapas places in Barcelona are way too crowded, especially the good ones.
Make sure that you do your reservation or go there in not peak hours. I hope you like the list I provided of the best tapas restaurant in Barcelona.
