We tried to get into El Xampanyet on several occasions and it was always totally packed. On our fourth try we made it in, and were utterly delighted to have persisted: the proprietors and staff treated us like family (despite the language gap), even inviting us around the counter for photos; the food was superb (be sure to ask for...

Lovely atmosphere and nicely located for the Picasso museum. Had a relaxing lunch with half bottle of cava. Trusted the waiter to bring us veggie tapas which were all delicious and no "just a little bit of bacon" in them. We were lucky to get a table as before long people were queuing and hanging about in any spare space...

Tiny place with delectable tapas and fabulous light house cava to drink with your food. We waited around until the moment theyd at 7:30pm; within 10 minutes the place was packed. We put ourselves at the mercy of the waitress to choose tapas and we were never disappointed. The atmosphere can only be described as jovial (and packed). A...

Xampanyet was right around the corner from our rented flat in the Born neighborhood in Barcelona and it was such a treat. The house cava and assortment of tapas were delicious, the service was great and the crowds were fun. It is touristy, but who really cares? I will certainly be back the next time in Barcelona!

We specifically went back to this bar in Barcelona as we remembered how great the tapas were and how friendly the staff were too. We ate there several years ago while stumbling upon it, being up the street from the Picasso Museum. Each time we have been in BCN it has been off season. The tapas are great. the staff...

They are known for their champagne, though we had beer. This place is packed, it can be difficult to find a table, but the wait staff is very good at helping you find a seat; we lucked out and got one quickly. Just tell the waiter you want tapas and they’ll bring you over a variety. We had a plate...
