Wow, this place is amazing! We were blown away! The service was impeccable! We ordered the patatas bravas, bomba spicy meatballs, and steak tartar as our tapas. They were all incredible. However, I was blown away by the patatas bravas. I had this tapa many times before, but the chef put a magnificent spin on it! The sauce seemed to... More

We were rather lucky given that we haven't made an reservation, but we still managed to find free table during lunch time. Atmosphere in restaurant is vibrant and definitely differs from many others visited during our BCN trip. Food is amazing and staff is very attentive and efficient. On the downside, dishes are rather limited in terms of quantity. If... More

Visited here on a sunny evening. Full to bursting with queues to get in. Now we know why. Great tapas and great service, everything youd expect and more. On the pricier side but who cares when its fresh and tasty.

This was, by far, our favorite meal in Barcelona. We made a reservation to sit at the bar. We loved talking to the bartender and other patrons, as well as watching the dishes come out. We let our bartender recommend several dishes. The fried baby squid are not to be missed. Very loud and exciting atmosphere, delicious food, and great... More

A great bustling authentic restaurant. The food is lovely and very fresh. Having used trip-advisor to book restaurants on our trip to Barcelona we were not 100% sure what to expect, but we were very satisfied. It does get very busy so make sure you book!! The decor is modern and the service excellent. This was the best tapas we... More

I had a great chance of visiting Paco Meralgo in Barcelona, following a hint of foodie friends that loved this place. It was a very nice experience. The food is amazing. They offer not only "Algo" to eat, but the best tapas I've tried, executed to perfection. Starting with their "Jamon", which was one of the best that I've ever... More

Great seafood, tapas, wine, service...what more can you ask. Careful on some seafood that may be a little pricey (even over priced). But the preparation and quality is tops in BCN. Not for a sit down romantic dinner. If you're girlfriend (or boyfriend) is more interested in the quality of the food than a romantic atmosphere, take her/him here. Leave... More

Paco Meralgo was highly recommended by both staff at our hotel (the fabulous Mercer), as well as a Barcelona native whom I had business dealings with. And while it is a very good restaurant, there are a few caveats. We sat at the window which gave us a view of three or four large garbage dumpsters as well as the... More

We have been in Barcelona for two weeks and have eaten four times at Paco Meralgo. Each of the first three visits were in the evening, the fourth, at 2 pm. The food is very good, and, with the exception of our last visit, the service was friendly and very competent. The menu is varied and we like everything we... More
