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.

COVID-19: keeping you safe on our tapas tour

The safety of guests, guides, partners and the public is our primary concern. Because of this, we’ve developed new health and safety guidelines in accordance with WTO and World Travel and Tourism Council guidelines, and in line with Spanish and Catalan government requirements.

Please review these guidelines before booking and get in touch if you have any questions.

About The Barcelona Taste

Barcelona is a major tourist destination – the number of guidebooks and websites devoted to the city is overwhelming! Which is why we started The Barcelona Taste ... to let you experience all the great food Barcelona has to offer while side-stepping the crowds. 

We take you to restaurants and shops on our scrumptious tours because they’re great. We visit, we taste and then we visit again and taste again. Ad infinitum! That’s our research.

We strike no deals and ask for no discounts or commissions. This is how it must be done, with 100% respect for small, local business and delicious, quality food.

Many beautiful people have joined us on our food tours – and here are some of the lovely things they've said about the time they spent with us...

A wonderful introduction to tapas and the Gothic quarter Three tapas restaurants where the food was exceptional. The stops were organized along dinner courses: hors d'oeuvre type tapas, main course type tapas, and dessert. As we progressed from restaurant to restaurant, we were given a tour of the many sites of the Gothic Quarter. There was a lot of food, but the touring between stops really helped with the digestion (as well as being informative). There were just four people on the tour plus our guide, so we fit in very nicely with the restaurant crowd and didn't come across as a "tour group". Loved it.

Fantastic Barcelona Tapas Tour! Absolutely fantastic tapas and Barcelona tour. Worth every penny and the best tour we took on our 3 week trip. Experience Old Barcelona in the best way, walking the quaint streets and sampling the best food and wine. It’s not sampling, it’s plenty to eat and delicious. Also learned how and what to order in Barcelona so do the experience early in your visit to Barcelona. A must!

We loved our tour Tito was very knowledgable, friendly and took us to fantastic restaurants that we would have never come across. All the food (and drink) was incredible, so much so we returned to one restaurant the following evening. We did not expect to get the amount of food we did combined with the quality so we found it good value and would 100% recommend.

A deep appreciation for the Barcelona food scene Our Barcelona Taste food tour guide was excellent! A well traveled Spanish native, she loves to cook herself, giving her the background and experience to truly appreciate great food. Her knowledge of Catalan cuisine gave us a deep appreciation for the Barcelona food scene.

Best combo of a meal & tour You won’t regret this tour!! Not only do you visit very different restaurants - but you learn at the same time. The food was delicious and our tour guide made sure to ask our opinions before she ordered. We let her have full control and she did a great job! She loves the city and was extremely knowledgeable - I would do this tour at the beginning of your trip as there are places she told us about-but didn’t have time to see.

So happy to write a review about my experience The entire tour, from beginning to end, was delicious and enjoyable. I also have a severe nut allergy, and always felt safe during the tasting. The foods we had, I never would've tried on my own. In essence, The Barcelona Taste serves-up a high quality product. I highly recommend.

Great Tour We toured the Gothic Quarter and ate delicious tapas and sipped amazing wine. We were able to ask a lot of questions about the Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, and Spain. Having lived for a period of years in the United States our guide had an understanding of our lives and we had many laughs together - we left feeling like we were old friends.

I see why so highly rated! I see why the prior ratings were so high! Excellent experience and food exposure. The tours are small groups so very personal. I have been to Barca a few time previously but this definitely added to my local food exposure. Our guide was great and even gave us tips for other eating places to explore on our visit. Definite 2 thumbs up experience.

Exceeded my expectations & was the highlight of our dining experience We booked it the first day we arrived so we could learn the customs and etiquette and if course sample a wide variety of food options. Tito was so friendly and helpful and everything was taken care of for you. We are so much food we were stuffed. And the best selections from each place. Highly recommended.

Just outstanding! We loved our tapas tour through the Gothic District with Maria. She was very attentive in advance to any dietary restrictions we might have, and everything she selected for us to try was just outstanding. A wonderful variety of flavors, followed by a stop for dessert tapas as well. It will remain a favorite memory of our visit to Barcelona - highly recommend!
