 Sit at the bar, as I do, pick
it, eat it! by summersso
Excellent, friendly service, fresh, not expensive, super value tapas in a very attractive bar/restaurant.
If you find yourself walking down Passeig de Gracia, as I so often have walk past the rest and head here.
Hint: Eat inside at the bar and the tapas is cheaper than on the menu (which looks identical) outside.
For those who don't know this is a Euskal bar (ie, Basque - from northern Spain), home of what is generally considered the best tapas in Spain.
Can't recall the numbers of my favourite ones, apart from 23. It's a craby topping and damn good.

Apart from the great variety in tapas, this place is also great for foreigners who are not very familiar with tapas yet. When sitting at the bar, you simply point out the things that you want. When sitting at a table you receive a place-mat with pictures (+spanish description) of all the tapas served. They also have menus available with English/French/German/etc. translations of the same tapas. So combine the place-mat and the menu and you exactly know what you order.
A perfect place to eat some 3 or 4 small tapas per person at the end of the afternoon, if you will have a late dinner.
ps: Without generalizing: most people drink beer with their tapas. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: 8-10 Passeig de GraciaDirections: East side of Passeig de Gracia, close to Plaça Catalunya.

 My family came from Puerto
Rico and USA by magictravelers
After a couple of yeard this became the place to meet with family and friends since it is located mear a main part of Barcelona, easy to find and the food is great. And now, we take all out visitors here to try the sanfria and a few tapas.
If you want to have lunch or dine, order about 4-5 tapas per person and bread; this should be enough, but if you are still hungry, you can always order more, since they are quickly prepared.
DO NOT MISS the sangria made here, but don´t drive afterwards :-)
Sanfria and all tapas.
There is a variety of them for everyone, vegetarians included.

Txapela is the place where I would always take visitors who wanted to have good food but still stay in the touristy parts of the city. Informed visitors to Barcelona know that tapas are not a specialty of the Catalans and that any establishment claiming to offer "Catalan tapas" is a blatant liar. That's what's so great about Txapela: it doesn't even try to be Barcelona-esque and prefers to offer its clientele a taste of the home of some of the greatest tapa inventors, Euskadi. Everything at Txapela is Basque themed, and the food is great. There are no set courses here: you simply sit at a table, order a glass/carafe/bottle of cider or wine and the tell your server which tasty morsels you want and how many. You needn't order all at once and the selection is made easy by the handy placemat with numbered pictures of the offerings. Most of the tapas come on toasted slices of baguette (things like sagardoa/cider sausage, melted brie, anchovies, sardines, octopus, eel, morcilla/black sausage) but some are also served à la skewer (shrimp and barbecued pork).
If you plan to come on the weekend, either come early or be prepared to wait, as there is always a line up Thursday through Saturday. Sometimes even in winter, even for the tables outdoors.
They're all so tasty!!! Nevertheless, my favourites include the sagardoak, which are flavourful little sausages that really go with cider, the melted brie, the morcilla (it sounds gross, but turns out to be quite tasty) and the anchovies. The skewered shrimp are good, but beware the excess of garlic sauce!

 yummy yummy by kenyneo
If you dont know which type of pasta to choose from , then this is the place for you , with over 50 plus types of tapas , its going to spoil you right there . I have concouered about 20 plus types ...so the next time there I would have tasted all of them . counting the calories though.
Its reasonably priced from Euro 1.2 to Euro 1.80 for each little serving . Most of them come with a small slice of bread so its quite full as well.
Whats better than having it with a jug of Sangria ? Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 8-10 Passeig de GraciaDirections: the branded goods row ..lol

On the menu, you have the picture with the explanation of all the 51 kinds of montalitos. Some are hot, cold, canapes or skewer like.
It was fun when we ordered. We listed the number of montalitos we wanted (no.2, 6 etc.). The montalitos then come at once, meaning that all are mixed up and since we were 6 people, it was funny because we had to look at the pictures on the menu to find the ones we ordered for ourself. Usually, if you order 6 montalitos per person, I think it would be enough for a lunch.
My favorite is no.12. It's a skewer with two shrimps, a piece of bacon and a mushroom. Delicious !

I loved this restaurant more than any other I ate at during my month-long stay in Europe.
Txapela offers about 50 varieties of tapas. They each have names, numbers and descriptions on the placemat/menu, but in Catalan. Ask for an English menu, match up the numbers and get ready for a delicious treat! Keep in mind that the actual tapas are slightly larger than they appear on the menu, so don't order 16 (like I did) unless you can finish them!
Can't choose just one, but 3 good ones are: 'Txirimiri' (#7) melted brie cheese; 'Bidasoa' (#25) smoked salmon and hard boiled egg; and 'Trainera' (#43)-Tomato, anchovy and hard boiled egg. All these are served on a small piece of toasted baguette (some are skewered on toothpicks). Even though I don't eat pork and shellfish, there were still plenty to choose from.
Aside from the tapas, their sangria was superb, and the dessert known as 'Chocolate Sin' was...heavenly! Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Centrally located at 8-10 Passeig de GraciaOther Contact: 93 412 0289
