PRIVATE FOOD TOURS

A tapas experience for you and your friends

The Barcelona Taste private food tours offer you and a group of your family or friends a unique chance to enjoy the best food Barcelona has to offer.

Our private tours stop in top quality small food establishments, ranging from specialty shops to home-style tapas restaurants, each one with its own scrumptious specialties for you to taste. You won't go hungry!

A local guide will safely lead your group from restaurant to restaurant. Conversations will flow, be they about the neighbourhood; each dish that we order; Barcelona life, culture and history and any and every topic that comes up at our table filled with delicious food.

With over 10 years of experience in running tours, we know how to cater for all your needs. If there's something special you or your group need us to plan for, just let us know!

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.

Money and precious time well spent! Our guide was genuine, funny, and so welcoming. We had tons of tapas and beverages all of which were amazing and authentic! Our guide discussed so, so much with us - the very next day we are hitting 3 of her locals only suggestions and feeling very impressed! This is money and precious time well spent!

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.

The Barcelona Taste: because it's delicious

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.
