I was here for the tapas - they were good - classic ones. But you go for the venue - it is as amazing as it looks in pics.

Great place for tapas, fish, steak and cocktails. A Barcelona Gem!

Go to La Taperia.. great food and super wonderful service! The hostess Isa offered our 5 person group free wine when our table reservation was delayed.. Nice touch!!

A converted garage is a fantastic place to eat and drink. Lots of options to choose from and very friendly staff.

Beautiful and spacious venue, good vibes. Better come for a drink rather than food. Usually quite packed.

The fish 🐠 spot it is great. Try the crudo dish. It is very good.

Huge place with bars and many small restaurants. The quality took me by surprise and the atmosphere too, is very nice.
Lena SchubertAugust 24, 2019
La Taperia is fantastic - the seafood tapas and the Iberico is so good!
Giancarlo PierottiDecember 3, 2014
Try to seat at the Taperia inside El Nacional and try all the tapas that you can. The food is phenomenal.
Simon WheatleyApril 27, 2017
So many choices under one roof. Do you want fizz and oysters, or tapas, or a fish restaurant? Make sure you do the circuit before you decide!
Nazli OguzMay 29, 2016
Amazing atmosphere with different food choices we tried oyster restaurant and cheese restaurant both very good
TamicaJuly 11, 2015

tasty and fun place; good both for a brunch and romantic dinner
Wesley A'HarrahJune 24, 2018
Prepare for a long meal and settle in for a slow-cooked salted seabass. Head to the bar for some cava if there’s a wait.
Luke WhiteJune 9, 2015
This place is gorgeous looking and serves tapas dim-sum style, the waiters selling you on each rich and delicious offering. Fun.
Emily NikolajsenJuly 24, 2017
Went to the tapas place. Food and service was amazing. Prices are very fair!
George SkafidasAugust 10, 2017

It's a lively casual dining, upmarket food court with a variety of places to choose to eat
Ania SołtysiakApril 26, 2018
Colonial style decor, big space with many restaurants, friendly service, good wine and vegetarian options. A bit pricey place.
Daniela Ruiz RamirezSeptember 24, 2019
We went to “La Taperia” inside El Nacional, the food and experience was amazing
Monica DazaMarch 8, 2015
The best, you have different choices to eat, and mean while you can have a drink during you are waiting to get sitting!!
Margaux ClmeJanuary 13, 2018

Great food choices, lively atmosphere. Food choices to suit every taste
Cande PbJuly 29, 2016
La llojta best of them all. The tartar of red tuna with hazelnut and olive oil is a must! Exquisite
Sam MaesDecember 15, 2018
Been here 10+ times
The looks cute but the staff is rude and unprofessional. Walk in for a visit but go somewhere else for your drink or dinner, because you pay too much to be served by a sad face (and wait very long).
LukeOctober 18, 2019
One could be cynical, but it’s not your typical tourist food court. A lot of attention to detail and a buzzing atmosphere
Ilya AntipinMay 26, 2022
Awesome octopus, nice interior and great Cava. Highly recommend

Very lively place. Great for some bubbles and the odd piece of tapas.
Nelly MalomuzhAugust 19, 2018
As always, love love love. Trendy, a lot of people and good choice of restaurants.
Turki AlToaimiMay 25, 2016
Don't miss the green asparagus, and the tomato oils baked bread. The patatas with tomatoes sauce 😍
Joanne CroninApril 2, 2017
Stunning bar/restaurant, beautifully decorated. However, tapas were middle of the road. Probably best for just a drink
violetaJuly 11, 2015
Nice to visit cause the place is fancy and great decorated. The food is not bad, but is not a big deal, price expensive according to the product.
Brad TFebruary 21, 2016
The world's best food court. Each section has its own special epicurean take on Spanish food.
Nushin RezaiAugust 11, 2016
The tapas at el taperia was delicious. Definitely recommended. The cheese and creme brûlée was not very impressive.
Diana DIJanuary 12, 2016
Such authentic and special place! Must visit :)

The oyster bar all the way in the back is great for a glass of cava while taking in the atmosphere of place.
Katia BFebruary 22, 2015
Recommend the taperia- amazing place and food... The concept is just awesome.
