Reviews of Barca Tapas and Cava Bar

R. B.

Good to be back in this place again, really friendly atmosphere and polite staff. Good selection of tapas and well made and presented (especially recommend the Espadin Frites - Crisp fried whole whitebait served with lemon wedge and aioli) Also, drink selection is good, personal favourite was the Victoria Malaga lager.

S. D.

Great spot! Food was tasting and drinks were good. Everything was well priced. Only annoying thing was when we moved over to the bar the staff kept coming to the table repeatedly to ask if we needed anything, even when we had full drinks. Very nice spot though.

M. A.

The place is good The paella is so so so yummy (sea food paella) The prawns was not good and not like the one in the image of Google map I totally RECOMMEND it for the sea food paella

A. B.

Had a couple of beers with friends, good choice of drinks in a great setting. We didn't eat here but the food that passed us looked very nice.

C. R.

Pros- Helpful and friendly staff, mouthwatering Patatas Bravas, soup of the day (Daal) was lovely. Cons- expensive for what it was, overly limited lunch/early evening menu, everything could’ve done with a pinch of salt, messy presentation.

A. H.

Absolutely wonderful place to be. They've got more seats now on balcony area. Staff so pleasant.

J. G.

There are some very nice Spanish tapas here. The creme brûlée was delicious!

I. M.

Disappointing. Really nice restaurant but the food was very average and the service no better. Also the wine suggested by the waiter did not match what we had requested.

J. H.

Excellent service and food nice atmosphere. Young gentleman who served was from Atlanta and is a credit to your company. Nothing was a bother.

P. M.

Food and cocktail lovely, good atmosphere and service. Prawn fritters were fab

G. M.

Great place to eat with fleshly prepared tapas highly recommend going here...

W. A.

The food was fantastic, the staff were excellent. I have now told numerous friends to try this restaurant and yes they do sell merlot. Cost of a mixture of tapas for two, which would actually have been enough for 3 and a lovely bottle of wine, came to less than £60

V. M.

Loved it. Seated outside the restaurant with a great view of the surroundings. The food was excellent as was the service. Staff were very helpful and polite. Will definitely come back.

A. N.

Great selection of tapas at good prices. Desserts & coffee were delicious. Defo recommend the Churros. Friendly & helpful staff, & nice atmosphere at tables overlooking the centre.

B. C.

Excellent. Great food. Friendly staff.

r. a.

Great food, nice location

L. B.

Managed to squeeze us in last min. Great service and food. Our waitress helped with choosing our dishes and we couldn't have been happier.

a. s.

First class food and service, will definitely book again.

E. R.

First time yesterday being back in my favourite bar since lockdown, cocktails were delicious, service amazing and thanks to our lovely waiter for accommodating our table change outside the bar, annoyed I can't remember his name. Ant wait to return

N. P.

Good food, polite staff.. And perfect Pedro Jimenez 😊

N. G.

Lovely food and very friendly staff! The portions were a really nice size - not too big, but 2-3 was perfect. The food was extremely high quality and tasted amazing. Would definitely come back!

J. C.

Friendly staff, tasty food, picturesque setting.

A. A.

It was really lovely we enjoyed our food and the staff friendliness 🙂🎅

S. R.

We sat out in the balcony area which was a lovely settling, during these trying times safety was at its up most an done brilliantly by the staff an everyone abided. Food was gorgeous 7 dishes were tasty fresh an well presented.staff were very attentive, will be back

C. A.

The food was so good and the place was calm and well situated and decorated. I loved this place and I want to come another time.

K. H.

Good tapas and service, the location in this Glasgow shopping centre was nice but lacked a bit of atmosphere in the evening when the shops were closed.

L. M.

Wonderful staff and fabulous food, cocktails and wine. Visited on Saturday night for my birthday. Nothing was a bother for the staff. Thanks Barca team.

N. B.

Food was ok, some was over cooked. 1st day reopening so understandable. Staff were excellent great customer service.

l. b.

What a hidden gem in the middle of Glasgow! Food, service and atmosphere absolutely brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal, 7 tapas dishes, wine and desserts. Everything was cooked to perfection with wonderfully rich flavourful sauces. Service was impeccable, would highly recommend.

m. p.

Great food & staff helpful and friendly

M. G.

Great restaurant right up the top of Princes Square shopping centre. Fabulous tapas, sharing platters and paella. Best place to sit is out on the terrace where you can look down on the rest of the centre and watch the world go by. Reasonably priced so won't break the bank.

P. S.

Very good. Hoevercdoors to precinct were shut at say 730 pm and we had a right job getting out!!

P. M.

Visited Sunday afternoon for the 3 tapas for £12.95 deal. Delicious food cooked well and quick service. Highly recommend Pre-booking a table to ensure a seat in the balcony area. Very happy with experience!

M. N.

Great food, better than in similar restaurants I have been to. Crisp, distinct flavours and tender meats. The starters were small but the main courses were a good size. There were nice touches like cinnamon on the rice - it worked really well.

M. K.

Always love it here. Accommodated us at short notice and the staff are just lovely. Beautiful food always. Loved the curried crab special yesterday, please put that on the menu!

K.

Went here as our other favourite tapas place was booked out - couldn't be happier, the food was so fresh and everything was so delicious, the staff were lovely and accommodating, safe to say I've found a new fav tapas place 🥰

P. T.

Always packed so advance booking recommended, great setting and excellent food and service. This has been the third visit and despite being very busy we were not disappointed, as the service and food were up to the usual standard.

C. B.

Lovely food and great staff.. Too much good at the one time and couldn't finish it all.. But will definitely go back, I'll just pick my three tapas a bit better...

G. M.

We had a family lunch recently at this fab restaurant. The food and service was first class and we had a bit of a laugh with the "Spanish" waiter from Elgin! We liked it so much we're taking our friends along this Friday! Looking forward to a great night.

G. K.

Beautiful tapas, quiet place on a Sunday night but such lovely food! Suspect this'll be our new "go-to" place for Tapas, lovely flavours and a nice twist on the standard fare of other Spanish restaurants we've visited.

C. B.

Lovely food, 3 generous tapas for £12.95 with the early evening menu is a great deal. The creamy beef strips tapa was delicious, we also had chorizo, halloumi and paella - all top notch. Nice service too

J. M.

Visited on a Monday night. Still a good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. 😁👍

M. C.

In my estimation Barca Tapas is the best place to go in Glasgow. No one else could ever hope to beat their menus and price and all the staff were very accommodating as i am confined to a wheelchair, they managed to place me in a lovely area and really they couldn't do enough for me. I will definitely be visiting Barca Tapas again very soon. Thank you.

L. R.

On the whole the food was nice. Waitresses lovely. Waiter a tad on the grumpy side. Music to loud in the toilets. Hasnt put us off coming back for lunch.

M. G.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The staff were very polite and could not do enough for us. The food was amazing, the spanish style doughnuts with caramel dip was out of this world. Will definately be back.

s.

Here for a Christmas party for 21 people. Food was fantastic as well as the service. Staff were very attentive with quick table service for drinks. Highly recommended.

E. L.

Nice food. Poor service. 10 min wait between tapas 2 and 3 coming out resulting in it all being sent back to heat. Even then not particularly hot. However they deducted money off the bill for their error.

M. N.

First time, very welcoming place with great staff and music! Enjoyed a non pre-booked 50th birthday party and got a complementary dessert, my mom was very pleased. Extremally welcoming people!

A. H.

Visited with friends on a very hot day. Although we had asked for a table outside the main restaurant when booking more than a week previously we were seated inside and told we couldn't have an outside table. The heat inside was almost unbearable,no air con or fans near our table. Service was fine as was the food,experience was made difficult due to the lack of air con.

R. A.

Meats sharing board came through before our drinks, staff failed to pick up plates as new ones came in so we ended up with a mountain of dishes on our table. Drinks weren't made up correctly and mostly watered down, mojito came in two different glasses with two different toppings

E. W.

Beautiful place and food and staff were fantastic

M. N.

Great atmosphere and terrific food. We so enjoyed it.

H. M.

Great tapas restaurant on the top of Princes Sq looking over the balcony. Fantastic Mussels. Great service . 5 tapas shared between 2 always works for us.

B. S.

Disappointed with the service on what was a quiet night, paella took a lot longer than the 20 - 30 minutes it usually takes. I think the kitchen forgot about it. Not good.

J. R.

Really nice relaxing place and setting in town.food was very Spanish and tasty, good choice of beers and drinks. We stayed longer than we anticipated. Certainly go back to Barca

W. G.

Really enjoyed food will go back for night time ambience.

e. d.

Love this place. Great prices and fabulous cocktails

F. W.

Great food and atmosphere however the portions were just a tad small even for tapas

T. W.

Been going here on and off for the last 10 years. Works well if you order more than you really should. Be sure to try the Montaditos de Morcilla con Vieras. Loses a star as the 'Salsa nights' turn the place into a middle class school disco.

C. J.

Consistently great food, warm, friendly and always efficient service, happy relaxed atmosphere, great disabled access and facilities. Has become a regular favourite in the town centre.

E. B.

(Translated) The Spanish seafood stew is delicious, very tasty and firm. Other tapas are also delicious. Upstairs in the shopping center, bright and elegant. (Original) 西班牙海鮮燉飯燒得不錯吃，很入味硬度也正好。別的tapas也很好吃。在購物中心的樓上，明亮優雅。

(Translated) Very professionally run tapas bar Everything works well, service, food, etc. Somewhat high quality and appropriate prices. The bar is well worth a visit. (Original) Sehr professionell geführte Tapas-Bar Alles funktioniert gut, Service, Speisen, usw. Etwas gehobene Qualität und entsprechende Preise. Die Bar ist einen Besuch wert.

(Translated) A very curious bar, especially for political anachronism, the Barsa claiming independence and the bar is a champion of Spanish cuisine, too commercial for my taste, does not resemble the culinary quality that has grown in Spain (Original) Un bar muy curioso, sobre todo por el anacronismo político, el Barsa reclamando independencia y el bar es adalid de la gastronomía española, demasiado comercial para mi gusto, no se asemeja a la calidad culinaria que ha crecido en España

(Translated) Very good Spanish tapas, good service and price (Original) Muy buenas tapas españolas, buen servicio y precio
