    Extremely disappointed. We stopped here for some lunch and sat outside. We ordered the chicken sandwich, mini burgers and the meat&cheese platter, alongside two cocktails. All together came to €55. The sandwich was very small and there were two just larger than bite size burgers. We ate those before waiting a considerable amount of time to receive the meat platter. All the food was ordered at the same time, mediocre at best and nothing special. The servers themselves were inattentive due to being so busy. All together would not go back. The prices were extortionate for the portions. Save your money and go elsewhere!

    Great little place. So we stopped in for some starters they were booked up for dinner so we didn’t go for the full meal. The food is good the atmosphere is great but the service was meh at best. We had to go ask for things a few times which was frustrating. This could have been an isolated incident. So, give this place a chance if you could. The vibe and the food is worth it I assure you.

    Very disappointing - overpriced and a lack of good quality service. Decided to come here for lunch on a sunny afternoon and really the quality was bit good considering the price. 13€ for beef tacos - and there were only 2 of them. The atmosphere on the terrace is decent, but there are other better places nearby on the same square which offer much superior quality and value for money We won’t be back.

    If you sit outside, you have to order from QR menu. And QR menu does not have all products, you need to warn the staff. The staff is kind and polite. However price/performance is very low. The prices and size of portions should be reviewed again.

    I ordered ceviche which was nice after I added some more salt on it. It was missing something. So disappointed in the taco tho, for that you could have added a bit more fillings, there was like no fillings at all, for 13 euros you could have added a bit more. I had tacos before and this was not it! The flavor was a bit bland. Sorry! :( Anyway the staff was really nice & friendly a good place to go for drinks. I was happy with the drinks 😁

    Lovely place. Food was decent, but service yesterday was absolutely RUDE. Never seen something like this before. We had made reservation for 7 for drinks & dinner. When we got there, the waitress wanted to refuse us but we insisted since we had a reservation. Aside from that, she (Sjimmi) refused to give food recommendations, rolled her eyes at us, ignored us throughout the night, and then spoke to us in the most condescending tone for not being able to split the bill. I get it's busy, we would have understood, but it was her attitude that really made the experience awful.

    Some of the best tapas I have had in a while. Very beautiful building. Staff are attentive and very helpful with allergens. We popped here before the Heineken experience. This was well worth a trip. Great to share food and was all fresh and hot

    The menu is not really extensive but the dishes are tasty and you can order via a QR code on the terrace.

    Entrance to a hike along waterfalls. The hike takes about 2 hours (1 hour each way). One can park along the street or on private property of the fishing farm for 3 leva. Even in hot days the hike is doable thanks to being entirely in the forest.

    Really relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. We had creme catalana and drinks. The food was really good, only the drinks tasted a bit off and too sweet. The garnish was also not that fresh.

    Wonderful dinner! We tried several different sangrias and all were delicious. The food was amazing! Best tacos I've had in a while

    We went for the cocktail workshop and it was excellent. Coleman took great care of us and was able to think fast and customize our experience on the spot because we had a smaller group. He made us a few cocktails and we each got to get behind the bar and make our own. We also got a few history lessons and he was very knowledgeable and comfortable answering all of our questions. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a different experience in Amsterdam.

    Very nice place to spend the evening and even the New Year’s Eve! We enjoyed it a lot

  • 5/5 Casey J. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazingg atmosphere! Every time I went for dinner at Barça, everything went perfect. The staff is super friendly, special shoutout to our amazing waitress Thijme. The menu is super diverse and the portions are perfect to share a bunch of different tapas. Would absolutely recommend!

  • 5/5 Eamonn G. 6 months ago on Google
    I’d give a 4.5 for service only ….. first dish landed before we got our water or wine! Food is amazing. Each dish we got was super and the constant flow of food is good. The guy Who seemed to be the head waiter was great, right on top of everything (think he gave out to them re first dish!). Very friendly and all staff were efficient and friendly. Outdoor seating looked very nice anf there’s was a v small queue. We sat inside. Lovely and cool and very nice. This place was recommended by a friend who lived here for 2 years. It was a top recommendation!

    Had an amazing lunch served by the super kind and helpful Emilie :). She treated us to a cheesecake, and I’m usually not a fan, but this cheesecake was absolutely amazing!! 100% coming back soon!

    Tapas style so expect small servings. Not in photo, I tried the pollo frito and patatas bravas - a bit on the spicy side. The sangria is also quite good.

  • 2/5 Piotr P. 1 year ago on Google
    Place itself has nice interior and that is probably as much of positives I can identify. Portions are small and fairly expensive, while the food is of medium quality. Beer selection was OK. Service was also OK, a bit slow on times (ex. food ordered at the same time was not brought in at the same time). Won't visit again - there are other, better choices in the vicinity.

    I went to Barca several times and each time i think depending on the chef food is coming differently. First time i went there their Spanish omelette was excellent. Second time i went there it was burned same deal with their calamari. Their churros is my favorite. Overall they have a nice atmosphere. I gotta say the prices are little bit overrated.

  • 4/5 Laura M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good selection of tapas and a cozy environment inside. The octopus was particularly good but the tuna was a bit strange. They have a nice terrace as well so you can sit outside in the sunshine

    A great place to sit down after a walk at the Albert Cuyp Market. Nice drinks and a good atmosphere. Good music and friendly staff!

  • 2/5 Augusto V. 1 year ago on Google
    The kitchen, to judge from what we ate ( the "pulpo" and the "pollo" lunch options ) is excellent. The service, on the other hand, is marred by the typical substandard Amsterdam carelessness, bordering on plain rude. Considering the amount of money you pay for the small dishes you get in such places, you would expect a bit of bread on the side - they are "selling" a mediterranean vibe, after all - or even a bottle of tap water... well, don't hold your breath waiting for such niceties.

    Well-located spot in De Pijp. Plenty of space for outdoor dining. Sangria is good (go for the Barca one). Shame it closes at 12 on weekdays, though it does sometimes stay open later inside. QR code for ordering food and drinks.

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
