I've been here many times over the last few years and sadly the quality of food just isn't there anymore. It was very ... average. I used to bring friends here to impress them and I have to find a new spot sadly. definitely try it but I wouldn't and won't frequent it anymore

Been long time fan of Teleferic. However, food quality has gone down. Even the Catalan drink was lacking in presentation. My fav churros were under cooked. The vege paella was overcooked. Also disappointing that they don't have more vege tapas options at this time. Was hoping they would evolve over time, but they don't. the options they have are just 'ok'. Service is always great as the staff are super friendly.

Excellent Spanish food, paellas are designed for 2 people but there were 4 of us Ian's it was perfect alongside 4 tapas

It was a fun lunch with my mother the food was great and service was awesome. A bit on the pricy side but still well worth the time.

Great tapas, paellas, and sangrias! Service was good. We had an early lunch (11am), so it wasn't that crowded and loud.

This was my first visit to Teleferic Barcelona. Fun, good service, good food, good crowd, a little bit too loud, but all in all a very enjoyable experience.

This is tapas. So appetizer portion is very small. Taste is ok. Not very special. Then 20% service fee is included already. So many times somebody came to fill the water. But tip is tip. We decide. So I do not come back. Everything is just ok.

My wife and I had 2 of their specialty cocktails (craft versions of espresso martini and margarita), the pulpo teleferic (octopus in potato pureé) tapa, bruselas (Brussels sprouts with aged cheese and honey-lemon dressing), and the lobster paella with socarrat (crisped rice). Total for everything before tax and tip was about $120. Considering the drinks were sufficiently strong and all the food was tasty and filling, we had a great dinner here. The 2 things that would definitely draw us back would be the octopus tapa and the lobster paella. We were there on a busy Saturday night and glad we made reservations for high counter seating earlier that afternoon. (They also have standard table seating, but reservations for these go quickly on busy nights.) Our reservation was at 7:15, we checked in at 7:10, and we were seated at 7:20...perfectly acceptable, especially given the somewhat full waiting area. Service during dinner was very good, considering how full the restaurant was. We never got to a point where we were wondering where our server had gone off to. After taking our orders within 5-7 minutes of getting seated, he regularly checked in with us during the meal and brought the check soon after we declined to have dessert. The atmosphere was a bit busier and louder than is our normal preference, but it wasn't to the point where it negatively affected our dining experience. The high counter seating was just barely enough room for our drinks, small dining plates, and dishes we ordered, but we were fine with it. Next time, we may try to make reservations a few days before for the standard seating, but we'd still be fine with high counter. By far, the worst part is parking. There's a small metered parking lot next to the building, but there are 2 other dining establishments in the building, so there was no parking to be had there. We opted for a parking garage at the nearby movie theater where the first 4 hours are free. Based on this meal, we'll surely be back.

I remember Teleferic having lots of color just like Spain, and this time I was so disappointed to see all color was removed and it is now a black and white aesthetic. The tapas no longer come around on carts, which is truly a Spanish custom. We just got tapas and they were POORLY made. The only good one was the octopus. I didn't even want to order the Paella because the tapas were so disappointing. For the price, I would have liked some actual Spanish tapas instead of some white washed food. It was my wedding anniversary and instead of a special night I expected, I ended up with an empty belly that I happily filled with ice cream instead. Not sure if management changed or what, but I do hope it changes back.

Went for my sons 24th birthday. Was hoping they would have sang something to him or offered a complimentary dessert or something. Nothing. I told them when I made the reservation so I was thinking they'd celebrate with us. Little things go a long way. It wasn't busy. We were actually the only group on the patio. All good tho. Maybe next time. Food was decent. Gluten free options were nice. Service was good.

Great food as always! The web says there is free parking but all the lots mentioned are paid parking spots.

Food was ok, ordered the lobster paella and an appetizer. The main dish was large enough to split, the appetizer very small. Sangria was very good. I thought it was expensive for a casual restaurant.

Donna

The fish tacos and crab croquetas were outstanding. My friend and I both ordered the paella mixta which was very tasty but it did not merit an excellent rating. That was due to very little octopus and pork in the mix. The dessert was good but not as great as it was on a previous visit. On a high note, all of the wait staff were excellent. They were especially timely, attentive, and personable.

I paid for them to spill a drink on me, like soaked, and only got $12 off our entire bill. Didn’t even get the $30 off $90 coupon on their website. Thank you for ruining my clothes.

Update: they offered churros and then marked it as “free”. Did provide 50% return after this review, thanks.
