An outstanding restaurant with substantial vegan, gluten free, and dairy free options. Service was warm and responsive. Food was amazing. Particularly loved the patatas bravas and the vegetables. Lovely atmosphere. Reservation recommended.

Went here during our stay in Bowen, great restaurant with amazing food and a cozy atmosphere. We ordered 4 tapas and were completely satisfied by the end of it and each dish outdid the last. Recommend getting a reservation as they’re only open a short while and are quite popular. Highly recommend!

Very tasty food and it’s a cute intimate restaurant that’s perfect to end a little date night on a weekend getaway. Recommend book your table in advance if possible. The sangria was also very tasty for a reasonable price considering the size!

Incredible food, everything I tried was so tasty. And huge kudos to the kitchen for accommodating my mom's myriad food allergies; she's not easy to feed and they handled it without complaint, and with certainty. Achievement unlocked there.

The only negative points is it is quite pricy, and there's only a single washroom.

Our dining experience was ok. We ordered items off the lunch menu - the tastiest being the brunch paella and the chorizo sandwich. However, what was really surprising were the portion sizes of the Albondigas (shrimp) and Gambas al Ajillo (meatballs). I am not sure how a restaurant can sell six small meatballs or six pieces of shrimp (plus a small salad and two slices of bread) for almost 20 dollars and be ok with it. It may be helpful if these plates were listed under the tapas section, not the lunch section, to set expectations right.

We had our wedding dinner at Barcelona and had a fantastic experience. Guillaume and staff were very accommodating and handled our large group (plus kids) with ease. The food and wine were amazing and no one left hungry. Highly recommend.

"Barcelona's on Bowen Island is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're transported to a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that feels both rustic and refined. The menu is a delightful blend of authentic Spanish flavours and fresh, locally sourced ingredients, making every dish a celebration of taste. The paella is a standout, rich in flavour and cooked to perfection, while the tapas offer a wonderful variety of textures and flavours that are perfect for sharing. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready with a great wine recommendation to complement your meal. Whether you're a local or just visiting, Barcelona's is a must-visit for an unforgettable dining experience."

We want to support local and so writing this is not ideal but feel customers should get a honest review. Great service but not so great food. Our servers recommendations were the patatas bravas and eggplant and those were indeed the best items, everything else was sadly really dissapointing.

My fist time and I’m definitely going to be back. Amazing service, drinks and food. Highlights for the eggplant with honey and mint and the beef checks. Everything on point! Shoutout to all the staff who provided the best experience
