Overview

One of the best ways to experience Barcelona is through its food, and this award-winning tapas tour takes the guesswork out of where to go and what to try. With thousands of bars and restaurants dotting the city, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Skip the endless review scrolling and let us handle everything for you.

Enjoy priority service with pre-arranged reservations at four of the city’s most beloved, locally-recommended tapas spots in the Gothic and El Born neighbourhoods. Savour the experience as you sample nine authentic tapas dishes like patatas bravas, croquettes, paella, and dessert paired with regional drinks like cava, vermouth, and wine, or go alcohol-free.

As you stroll between each stop, see Roman ruins and sites like the iconic Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar while listening to your expert local guide share fascinating history and insight into the history and evolution of Catalan cuisine.

Perfect for all foodies: couples, friends, family, and solo travellers!

Carrer Ample

At the heart of Catalan cuisine, the Gothic Quarter is an essential place for foodies to try Barcelona’s delicacies. Discover the oldest neighbourhood through its food. We’ll start our journey at a time-honoured tapas spot where you’ll try Spanish classics like croquettes, patatas bravas, and pimientos de Padrón, washing them down with a glass of perfectly paired wine.

Carrer de la Mercè

Family-run since 1945, this classic Spanish bodega is a living slice of local history. With a micro menu of just four tapas, it embodies the beautiful simplicity of Spanish cuisine. Located just steps from the port, we’ll dine like sailors once did—sharing paper cones of fried white anchovies (boquerones), tasting traditional Catalan butifarra sausage, and sipping from a porrón, the region’s iconic communal wine jug, alongside a glass of Spanish vermouth. *Due to seasonal holidays, weekend availability, and weather conditions, we may not be able to go to this spot but we will compensate by ordering additional food at another stop or replacing this spot with another venue.*
