Everything about this tour was amazing Our wonderful guide Esther was great company and took us to places we just wouldn’t have found for ourselves, explaining everything along the way and providing a touch of local colour to the whole experience. Incredible food, great drinks and company. A fantastic experience all round.

My second tour with Barcelona Taste The tour was in the Gothic Quarter with Esther - she was fabulous, gave us interesting information about the area and brought us to different restaurants for wonderful food! Esther was very fun and everyone in our party loved the tour. I highly recommend!!

Incredibly delicious and authentic dishes We had an amazing tour around Eixample with Lorea, our super friendly & knowledgeable guide! She helped us get out of our comfort zone and as a result we enjoyed some incredibly delicious and authentic dishes that we normally wouldn't have tried on our own. The restaurants she brought us to were fantastic. I can't wait to go back and take another one of their tapas/wine tours in one of the other neighborhoods!

We really enjoyed the tapas tour! All of the food was very good and it wasn’t “the usual” tapas. Everything we tried was new to us, except paella. And the paella was very good. We had more than enough food! Maria, our guide, was very knowledgeable and fun. Instead of having wine at every stop, we experienced vermouth and cava as well.

Extensive knowledge of Barcelona's food scene I must say that it was an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations. The small group size was a significant advantage, as it created an intimate atmosphere & allowed for more personalized attention & interaction. We felt like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend who was eager to introduce us to her favorite local spots. The tour was not just about food; it was an immersive cultural experience that left me with a deep appreciation for the city & its rich gastronomic traditions.

A must do in Barcelona Tito was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable. And the food was to die for. Lots of it and the best quality. The whole tour was fun. I will dream of the beef cheeks for years...

A great lay of the land We went to 3 different tapas restaurants - all were slightly off the beaten path and all were excellent. Maribel explained all the foods as well as the neighborhoods that we walked through. We also learned some Spanish history. Maribel answered all our questions and gave great restaurant suggestions for our following days in Spain. I would suggest you do this tour on one of your first nights in Barcelona, as it gives you a great lay of the land if you've never visited before.

DON'T MISS THIS!!!! We went to 3, off the beaten path tapas restaurants - all had excellent food. I especially enjoyed the beef cheeks. Maribel did all of the food ordering, with respect to dietary restrictions. She answered all of our questions and gave us info and history of the neighborhoods we traversed. She was friendly and very professional. I would recommend doing this tour on one of your first nights in Barcelona, as it gives you a great lay of the land and references to other good places to eat and visit. Enjoy!

Phenomenol experience enjoying fine local food and drink favorites. Our guide Maribel was lovely company and arranged phenomenal tastings of traditional foods as well as some with a gourmet modern twist. The food was plentiful and varied and suited to our tastes. There was no shortage of matching local alcohol/wine as well. We had an intimate tour with just 4 of us, meeting 2 others for an enjoyable evening. If you can, do it early in your arrival as you will get an extensive list of other restaurants to try as well. Only wish we could stay long-term so we could try them all!

A wonderful evening We sampled delicious food and some local wines at each stop. Each of the stops on our tour was quaint and the dishes that were selected for us to try were delicious. We felt welcomed in each of the restaurants we visited and enjoyed the engaging conversation and information provided by our host, Tito. This small group tour felt like an evening with friends, old and new. Highly recommended!

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.
