About this Evening Tapas Tour

An evening tapas tour with The Barcelona Taste is like dinner out with friends of a friend - at some of the best restaurants in town. Our tour groups are typically no larger than 6, meaning we can keep things intimate and discreetly visit the highest quality small food establishments... those most loved by locals.

You will visit three of the best restaurants and specialty food shops in Barcelona, where you get to eat plenty of food and your choice of top quality drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic).

You share a personal, relaxed evening with a local guide, who will leads you safely through Barcelona. Conversations will flow, be they about the neighbourhood, each dish that we order, Barcelona life, culture and history and any and everything else that comes up throughout the course of the night.

About our tour location: The Gothic Quarter

Barcelona’s famous Gothic Quarter is, rightly, one of the highlights of any trip to Barcelona. Walking through the ancient roads of the Ciutat Vella (old city) takes you past Roman walls, alongside cathedrals, through precious plazas – you can feel the history oozing from every brick.

However "the Gótico" can, at times, be a bit of a tourist trap – particularly when it comes to food. But it doesn't have to be that way. In amongst the restaurants catering to mass tourism there are some small hidden gem restaurants that cater mainly to locals. The food here is as good as any you'll get in Barcelona. You just have to know how to find them - and that is where we can help.

Our tapas tour of the Gothic Quarter will take you to a number of small top quality restaurants and food establishments, leaving you sated, jolly, and with a better understanding of local Catalan and national Spanish cuisine. The Barcelona Taste launched in 2009 with food tours of the Barri Gotic and these tours are therefore our first love. They are a wonderful traditional option in Barcelona’s most historic setting.

    Delicious afternoon off the beaten path in Eixample This was our first and finest meal in Barcelona. We were in a non-touristy part of Eixample and places we certainly would not have found on our own! The variety of tapas and beverages was perfect. All in all, if felt like we were sharing a meal with a new friend.

    The range of the offerings was great! We really enjoyed it! Lorea was an excellent hostess and very knowledgeable. The food was excellent at all the spots that she took us to and they were far enough off the beaten path, that we would have never discovered them on our own. I highly recommend this tour and taking it early in your trip so you can enjoy other recommended places.

    Delicious! The tour was fantastic! We got to taste delicious food at restaurants we never would have found on our own, or gotten into. It was a lovely way to explore the Gothic Quarter. The follow up email with additional recommendations was much appreciated!

    Food and drinks were amazing We went out to get tapas the day before our food tour, and we thought we could skip it - we were wrong! The places Lorea took us were the BEST restaurants we went to on our trip. Highly recommend.

    Food, Fun, and a dash of history thrown in. Like having a fun friend show you all the best spots. And although none of us had food/allergy restrictions she made sure to inquire and was at the ready to ensure everyone had a great time with some delicious food.

    Loved this Tapas Tour Maria was our guide and she was friendly, knowledgeable, knew how to lead a group and the others in our group were also fun and enjoyable to be with. There was a variety of dishes and drinks, all different and all mouthwatering. It was a really lovely evening, so thanks Maria, we went to places that we would never have found on our own!

    One of our absolute favorite experiences It was like sitting down with an old friend who knows all of the good spots to eat. It was a great first night in Barcelona and helped us navigate the tapas scene in El Born and the Gothic Quarter for the remainder of our trip. Our teenage kids also thought this was one of their favorite things we did on our trip. Great experience all together.
