Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Food and service were superb. Tried a few of the salads, rolls, Spanish omelettes and “ham and eggs” All were very good. Shame we are going home today as would be back. Staff very attentive, ordered a beer as I write the heading for this...and it arrived before I finished!More

Great food, great service. So many choices. They change everyday. The eggplant chips with cheese and honey was amazing. The bread pudding could not be beat. Our hotel a block away has Michelin star restaurants. We chose La Flauta, very local, fresh and exciting.

Nice place for seafood tapas and drinks, with lots of selection. It is pretty popular and there was a long queue when I was there, but still shorter than Cerveceria where you can't even find the actual line. Service was okay, with some confusion (one...of the order was wrong, but they managed to corrected it once we asked) but probably was because there were a lot of customers.More

FOOD WAS DROPPED BY A COOK, AND PROCEEDED TO PUT IT BACK ON THE PLATE AND WAS GOING TO GIVE IT TO THE CUSTOMER. IF I HAD NOT SAID ANYTHING TO THE MANAGER, WHICH BY THE WAY, DID NOT EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR SUCH A HORRIFIC...THING, THE COOK WOULD HAVE SERVED THAT FOOD. RUN AWAY!More

Visited here with some Spanish business associates on their recommendation. We weren't disappointed, it was excellent. Just how we imagined really good quality local tapas to be. We had to queue to get in but only for 20 minutes or so and it was well...worth it. Love to come back here.More

This bustling, always-busy restaurant is well worth the time you wait for a table. Excellent, swift, friendly service, outstanding seafood, the best patatas bravas in town.

When you see people crowding around a restaurant waiting for hours to be seated you know it’s good. That was us one night, but the second time we came we knew enough to come around 7 to avoid the crowd. Food was the best we...had in Barcelona, maybe all of Spain. Sani the outside manager was polite and remembered us. Our waiter whose name I didn’t get remembered our drink orders the second time around. The food was perfection. We tried a little bit of everything over two nights and were not disappointedMore

This restaurant always has a line up of people waiting to get a table. Mainly around 8pm onwards. We know why because the ambience is so welcoming, as are the waiters, the food is good and the prices are incredibly reasonable. I had an excellent...salad with walnuts, sliced orange, tomatoes, lettuce and plenty of emmental cheese. It was first rate. We would definitely go again and suggest you do too.More

This place has the best tasting tapas in Barcelona. To get in, stand in line as there are no reservations and this place is a local favorite. I was standing out by the curb and it took 10 minutes to be seated. Some may take...shorter or longer depending on your group size . The tenderloin, gambas, patatas bravas, are all 5 stars. The wine selection is fine local, with great price point with options for high quality ribera del duero. Service is 10 stars.
