Tucked away in historic German Village – an authentic global dining experience awaits. Inspired by seaside sangria and a walk on the Ramblas, Barcelona is a culinary fusion of metropolitan chic & Old World European charm.

We work hard to present a warm, inviting atmosphere; quality service; & above all, creative, exciting food and beverage offerings. We attribute our success to our service staff, unique, colorful individuals dedicated to exceeding your expectations. Whether it is dining at our historic bar, on the enchanting patio or in the main dining room, we hope you see the dedication of our staff each time you visit us.

Creating memorable experiences by making your family our family through food and hospitality.

This was the best of many times excellent meals here. Service is always good, but Ethan was exceptional. The food is also consistently good but this evening’s fare was the best we’ve aver had here. Not sure what the difference was but the flavor were clear and strong and everything served at the correct temp. Even the desserts were exceptional. Well done, team!

Barcelona was a very welcoming environment from the moment we walked in. Friendly and efficient front house staff with an exceptional and personable server, Kat. Sunday evening was a great night to go for our first visit. Food was delicious - enjoyed small plates to share. The potato & mushroom soup of the day was fantastic. Perfect on a cold dreary winter day. The bead service, calamari, hummus and Camarones rounded out our choices. We thoroughly enjoyed our Spanish Tempranillo wine and i enjoyed a Rue the day cocktail - wow! What a fantastic melding of flavors. Highly recommend if you like mezcal! Definitely 5 stars for our visit!
