    Excellent squid ink paella and appetizers. The paella required at least 20 minutes to prepare so let the wait staff know or order it ahead of the rest. Attentive service

    While we enjoyed the vibe of the place, we were not too thrilled with the very small portions, especially for the prices. I've been to several Spanish restaurants in my time and ordered tapas before, but never had such small portions. Even an order of a main dish was tiny. As I mentioned earlier, the prices are very high, including their corkage fee which is a ridiculous $35 per bottle. They also automatically add a 20% tip to your bill regardless of the service. Probably won't be going back.

    Hola William, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, though we’re sorry to learn that the portion sizes and pricing didn’t meet your expectations. At Telefèric Barcelona, tapas are small and meant to be shared, which is typical in Spanish cuisine, but we understand expectations can vary. Regarding the corkage fee, it supports services like quality glassware and proper wine handling. We regret if this wasn’t clearly communicated during your visit. Similarly, the service charge is included as part of our commitment to fair wages for our staff, as stated on our menu and website. If you have further comments, feel free to reach out to us at info@telefericbarcelona.c... We’d love the opportunity to improve your experience next time! Gracias.

    The service, quality of the food and value are all outstanding. The noise level is extremely loud and energetic. The automatic 20% added gratuity must be a sign of the times. Not certain exactly how I feel about that. Possibly time to rethink this. Guaranteed gratuity will ultimately cause service to suffer.
