    Amazing mixture of flavours ! Sea bass fish with strawberries (on the pic) was fantastic. Popcorn icecream as well ! Aubergines with goat cheese 👌🏻 ask for a recommendation from the waiter or owner!

    Good patatas bravas! Smoked aubergine fritters with goat cheese& apple slices were amazing, I'm stealing the recipe!😍Very trendy spot, but dinner time is quite late here, at 8 pm you'll find a table.

    Sea bass with strawberry sounds awful but it's one of the best things I've eaten. Oh, and don't leave Bcn without eating the calamari here. Absolutely mouthwatering. Also, croquetas!

    Ceviche incredible, even by Peruvian standards. Aubergine fritters with goats cheese absolutely divine. Good cocktails at a decent price. Food a little expensive but well worth it.

    Best potatas bravas in the city, good wine menu and sangria. Great pepitas. Cozy place. In the evening be ready to spend c. 30 minutes waiting for a table

    Trendy but cosy tapas bar with simply excellent food. Best tapas we found during our stay in Barcelona. Also the wines are delicious. The waiting time passed quickly in the beautiful La Cava next door

    Loved the patatas bravas & beef tartare! The atmosphere and the guests are a bit loud but cool for having a night out with your friends while you enjoy the dinner and a sangria👭

    From patatas bravas to foie with white chocolate,La Pepita creates truly tapas experience at fair price in Barcelona.Unlike many touristy bars and restaurants in the city,no rip-offs+friendly staff.

    Foie gras and white chocolate - amazing! Great Gin and Tonics too - hands down the best patatas bravas in the city - cooked correctly with home made spicy sauce!

    Maybe the best tapas we had in town during this long weekend!Tapas were mostly different than the typical ones we had in other places. Burrata dish was wonderful!

    One of the best meals I've ever had. We had the buratta salad, scallops, and each had a pepita. If you're not hungry, consider splitting a pepita as it ended up being a lot of food for me.

    Very friendly staff and are really knowledgeable. The food was excellent. Maybe on the slightly pricier side, but you definitely get what you pay for. It was recommended by a local, and a good one.

    Crowded, tiny, messy and...lovely. Frequented by locals and students mostly, quick and friendly service and last but not least: food feast with rich variation and prepared with expertise.

    Went here as a solo traveller, felt very comfortable and welcome. Friendly staff, tasty tapas, melon and almond gazpacho was divine. On the slightly expensive side.

    My friend was blown away by the calamari. Salmon pepita was great. we also liked the VIC Iberian croquettes. I liked the patatas Bravas a lot while my friend thought they were not crisp enough.

    Amazing tapas and really friendly staff. It’s always busy so you can wait in their La Cava bar (down the road) and they’ll come and get you once your table is ready.

    The seafoods were fresh and delicious. The serving was great. I recommend you to make a reservation because the restaurant is usually full.

    This place is fantastic, from the food t the environment. It gets super busy on weekends so be prepared to wait (an hour minimum). Worth it, you can also go on weekdays to avoid the wait!

    I could not believe how good the tapas were! The best dish was the foie gras with white chocolate mousse and coffee-bean shavings, but the corn ice cream was also special.

    Looong looong waiting time but so worth it. You can grab a glass of vermut while waiting for your table. I would kill for their foie gras with white chocolate and coffee...

    At 2200, very packed but the staff was able to provide a great service! Sea bass, pulpo, beef steak and aubergine is a must try!

    Everything here is delicious. The service is extremely friendly and useful as well. I think everyone visiting Barcelona should stop by La Pepita. However, be aware it's very small and can get crowded.

    Fantastic and original tapas. Everything is to be tried. Friendly service. The bartender is always smiling and joking with the guest. Not cheap, but absolutely delicious.

    The tapas are fantastic! Pretty much everything is delicious. The only downside is that the space is on the smaller side, so reservations are a MUST! Busy every night of the week!

    Small and busy restaurant, but the food is excellent! A must go for the tapas. To avoid standing in line at the entrance, go early. It opens at 19:00.
