Where do I begin? The best places are often the small, unassuming ones, and Bar del Pla embodies that perfectly. Though it's small, it has a very cozy and homely feel. The atmosphere is laid back, the tapas are impressive, and the wine selection is extensive. The service is consistently excellent; the staff knows the menu inside out and can expertly recommend wine pairings. During our stay in Barcelona, we visited Bar del Pla at least three times in four days--that's how good it is. Now back in Miami, I find myself wishing we had a little place like that here. I miss it and can't wait to return.

Delicious food and fun vibe. The cauliflower and mackerel were delicious. Service was a bit slow but the experience overall was great.

Wow! The food was fantastic and the staff too! Highly recommend. We had the tomato bread, spinach and cheese croquettes, ham and cheese croquettes and chicken cannellini. All excellent. The staff are so friendly.

Bar del Pla in Barcelona is a true gem nestled in the bustling streets of this vibrant city. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a cozy and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming ambiance, ensuring that every visit feels like a warm embrace. But what truly sets Bar del Pla apart is its outstanding cuisine. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with unique flavors that tantalize the taste buds and leave you craving more. The tapas-style dining is perfect for sharing, allowing you to sample a variety of delectable dishes with friends or family. Given its well-deserved popularity, Bar del Pla tends to get quite busy, especially during peak hours. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to secure your spot and avoid any disappointment. In summary, Bar del Pla exceeds expectations on every level - from its cozy atmosphere and friendly service to its exceptional cuisine. If you're in Barcelona and craving an authentic culinary experience, look no further than Bar del Pla. You won't be disappointed.

Another nice spot for tapas in the Bari Gothic. Like many tapas bars in this city, this place has a narrow store front with two stark looking stools outside that are magically always occupied (the residents here seem undeterred by winter weather from eating and drinking outside with no heaters). That's how you know it's good. Anyway, we hit up Bar de la pla after a day of visiting museums in the nether hours between lunch and our 8:00 pm early bird European dinner. I think the place had just opened for tapas hour because it was pretty empty when we arrived but then proceeded to get packed. We got seated right away at the bar and enjoyed a few classics with some cava and vermouth. I thought their patatas bravas were fantastic. They also have some tapas that beyond the traditional fare, like the tempura cauliflower which was also delicious.

Excellent spot in the Gothic quarter. I was able to walk-in without a reservation. It was lively and I like how they try to source sustainable products. Highly recommended. Ask the team what's best because they change items often.

As a vegetarian on vacation, it's been easy to eat all over Barcelona. At the very least, potatoes, gazpacho, tomato bread, and veggies are everywhere. However, Bar del Pla was such a delight!! The tomato bread and patatas bravas was good....the gazpacho was excellent!!! Nice texture elements added to it. The amazing dishes though were the zucchini flowers, mushroom with wasabi, and Eggplant made without the sardines. They were all AMAZING!!! I will definitely be back on my next trip through Barcelona

My favorite tapas place I tried hands down. Literally the best patatas bravas. The steak tartare was amazing v the oxtail: amazing. The spinach and cheese croquettes AMAZING. the mushrooms with wasabi was such a pleasant surprise. I would try everything on their menu. The only miss for me was the tuna tartare because it was a little too fishy in my opinion. Otherwise, great food, amazing service, very affordable pricing, lots of natural wines to try, and great vibes. Definitely stop here if you're in Barcelona.

Our favorite restaurant in a long time! So glad we visited - we went 2 months ago and have already sent 2 other parties for dinner both of whom came home with rave reviews. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The back of their shirts said "F*#% Sangria. Drink natural wine" - love it. We had a local orange wine that was fantastic! Worked perfectly on its own as well as with the assortment of dishes we tried. An absolute must visit when in Barcelona!
