    Good service and food came out pretty quick even though it was a full house. Food was delicious and I liked my sangria.

    Delicious food and tapas. The paella was fantastic but the small plates are a must. We loved the brussel sprouts, crab croquettes and the empanadas! Took some time to get seated despite a reservation.

    The food and beverages were wonderful. My wife had a couple of fantastic mocktails. I had a glass of the Teleferic Sangria which was really refreshing. For tapas to start we had Gazpacho plus tomato on toast points with Chipotle butter and then whole shrimp in a spicy oil. I wish I could remember the names of the dishes. We finished with the Lobster Paella which like all the Paella on the menu is fantastic. The only problem we had was a miscommunication with the waitress. She did not hear us order the Lobster Paella and we could not hear her verify our order. We were right next to a speaker playing very loud music. So, we waited 45 minutes to find out it had not been started. They managed to rush an order for us and worked with us to get us out and to our movie on time.

    We started with tapas: bread with tomato sauce (pan con tomate), potatoes (patatas bravas), and chicken empanadas. They were pretty good, especially the bread. The empanadas were too thin I thought. They were mostly the fried outsides with little filling. The aioli sauce that came with them was tasty and offset the dryness of the empanadas. We ordered the lobster paella, but they brought us the squid ink paella instead. This was ok but I did want to try the lobster. To make up for the error, they brought us complimentary churros. Which were fine. For the sangrias, the only kind with red wine had hard liquor too and was quite strong. The food was fine, just a little below my expectations. It was our wedding anniversary, and we said so with our reservation. But only the person seating us commented. Other places where we have gone for anniversaries gave us a special dessert even if they didn’t get the order confused. I did really like the clay dishes they used and the ambience. And the servers were courteous. It was a busy night.
    Telefèric Barcelona - Palo AltoResponded on 30 November 2024
    Hola Wendy, Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tapas and the ambience. We apologize for the mix-up with the Paella and appreciate your understanding. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the churros as a gesture to make it up to you. Regarding the Sangria, it’s crafted with red wine and liquor for a bold flavor, but we understand it’s not for everyone. You might enjoy our Virgin Barceloneta Sangria from the mocktail selection next time! For the anniversary, we are sorry for the oversight. We always strive to celebrate special moments with our customers, and we regret that this was not the case. If you are interested, please contact us at info@telefericbarcelona.c... so we can make it up to you on your next visit. Gracias!

    The cocktails are unbelievable. Totally underrated bar/bartenders. Food is phenomenal- great tapas, squid ink paella delicious. Only reservation in recommending is how hard it is to get a reservation.
