    Great food, excellent and served hot. Imaginative tapas, very nice combo of fried and fresh. All nicely flavored. The squid ink risotto was excellent, good combo. The waiter was very accommodating with our group size. Interesting sangrias, would recommend. Too noisy for conversation!

    We ordered the Iberia pork paella and it was disappointing. The paella stuck to the pan and the pork was dry and not juicy. It was obviously overcooked. We had the tuna tacos and those were good. The octopus was good. The 20 percent tip that was included was not justified. There was really no service except the food delivery. Tables were close together and the maitre’d stuck us right in the middle between 2 very close tables. Was very disappointing this time for us - no service, overcooked paella -

    Hola Geri, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the food didn’t meet your expectations, particularly with the Ibérico Pork paella. At Telefèric Barcelona, we aim to bring the authentic flavors of Spain to our guests, and we regret that this wasn’t the case during your visit. We’ll be sharing your comments about the paella and service with our teams to ensure we improve moving forward. Regarding the service charge, it is included as part of our commitment to fair wages for all employees, as noted on our menu and website, but we apologize if this was not clearly communicated. We’d love the chance to welcome you back for a better experience. Please reach out to us at info@telefericbarcelona.c... if you'd like to discuss further. Gracias!

    Food was excellent and we all had a great time. We’ve been here at this restaurant before but it was our friends’ first time to eat here. They all loved the food and drinks that we ordered especially the sangria flight. My wife loved that your restaurant is celiac friendly and is very mindful of patrons that have gluten allergy. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Hope to be back soon.
