TamicaJuly 11, 2015nice ambiance. four restaurants to choose from (reservations not accepted). great food. bathroom powder station makes for a good photo op.
Russell SinclairOctober 19, 2017A converted garage is a fantastic place to eat and drink. Lots of options to choose from and very friendly staff.
Lars GinnerupMay 13, 2017I was here for the tapas - they were good - classic ones. But you go for the venue - it is as amazing as it looks in pics.
Vitaly BorovykSeptember 3, 2018Must visit if in Barcelona! Great quality of food! Amazing atmosphere!
The looks cute but the staff is rude and unprofessional. Walk in for a visit but go somewhere else for your drink or dinner, because you pay too much to be served by a sad face (and wait very long).
Maria Kania-tasakSeptember 20, 2015Go to La Taperia.. great food and super wonderful service! The hostess Isa offered our 5 person group free wine when our table reservation was delayed.. Nice touch!!- Constance | @croostifoodiOctober 24, 2018Beautiful and spacious venue, good vibes. Better come for a drink rather than food. Usually quite packed.
Eigil MoeDecember 6, 2015Huge place with bars and many small restaurants. The quality took me by surprise and the atmosphere too, is very nice.
Luke WhiteJune 9, 2015This place is gorgeous looking and serves tapas dim-sum style, the waiters selling you on each rich and delicious offering. Fun.
Artyom SacaraMarch 6, 2018Interesting way to take a plate with food. Great atmosphere and cuisine! And black rice 🙀
The oyster bar all the way in the back is great for a glass of cava while taking in the atmosphere of place.
Darren WeakeNovember 23, 2015It's a lively casual dining, upmarket food court with a variety of places to choose to eat
Nazli OguzMay 29, 2016Amazing atmosphere with different food choices we tried oyster restaurant and cheese restaurant both very good
LukeOctober 18, 2019One could be cynical, but it’s not your typical tourist food court. A lot of attention to detail and a buzzing atmosphere
Margaux ClmeJanuary 13, 2018Really nice food in an awesome venue !!! The braceria has awesome meat !
Giancarlo PierottiDecember 3, 2014Try to seat at the Taperia inside El Nacional and try all the tapas that you can. The food is phenomenal.
Marlon UrbanGentUkAugust 23, 2016Great food choices, lively atmosphere. Food choices to suit every taste
Joanne CroninApril 2, 2017Stunning bar/restaurant, beautifully decorated. However, tapas were middle of the road. Probably best for just a drink
Emily NikolajsenJuly 24, 2017Went to the tapas place. Food and service was amazing. Prices are very fair!
- Nushin RezaiAugust 11, 2016The tapas at el taperia was delicious. Definitely recommended. The cheese and creme brûlée was not very impressive.
Cande PbJuly 29, 2016La llojta best of them all. The tartar of red tuna with hazelnut and olive oil is a must! Exquisite
Jule PasechnikMay 5, 2017Best cocktails, atmosphere and people. Big thanks @Maryna Machacha for advice👍🏻

Ania SołtysiakApril 26, 2018Colonial style decor, big space with many restaurants, friendly service, good wine and vegetarian options. A bit pricey place.
Brad TFebruary 21, 2016The world's best food court. Each section has its own special epicurean take on Spanish food.
Suzanne LowellMay 13, 2023Drinks, the boards ( cheese & meat alike)& the buzz! Something for everyone, a very cool place!
Turki AlToaimiMay 25, 2016Don't miss the green asparagus, and the tomato oils baked bread. The patatas with tomatoes sauce 😍
Katia BFebruary 22, 2015Recommend the taperia- amazing place and food... The concept is just awesome.
8 venues in 1 location - great atmosphere and all the food / produce is locally sourced!Enjoy!!
Wesley A'HarrahJune 24, 2018Prepare for a long meal and settle in for a slow-cooked salted seabass. Head to the bar for some cava if there’s a wait.
Pout RelleJanuary 21, 2016A must go if you like food, drinks, ambiance, architecture, design,.. ow yeah did i mention great food
Frost LiApril 23, 2019Extremely crowded and busy. I was lucky to get a seat but the service is super slow that it took them 30 mins to pour me a glass of wine. If you are hungry, don’t come here lol
Erez GordonFebruary 12, 2016Wonderful place. The decoration is great and so does the service. Excellent sirloin steak.
