Reviews
Excellent food let down by truly terrible service with an enforced tip.
Our Spanish waiter was rude and impatient, rolling his eyes as we ordered. Did not make us feel welcome, and hurried us along, especially with the wine choices. We were hoping for recommendations and instead it felt like he was a breath away from tutting at us.
We were sat outside, which is really inside the centre, but it was weird having people walk past you to go to other bars while you're eating. Not a very good atmosphere really, and if we had been given a choice to dine inside the restaurant, we would have taken it.
Food quality was excellent. I'd strongly recommend the scallops and black pudding, but you can't go wrong with anything here. The chorizo was delicious but definitely stays with you for a few hours.
All of our food bar the mushroom dish was served at the same time. We waited about ten minutes and then flagged down a curly haired server, who told us that "it's probably still coming". It wasn't. A different person came to clear our plates and when we asked again, she said that he "probably forgot". No accountability.
We finally got the mushrooms, but the entire table had finished eating by then. Not great at all.
An enforced tip on the bill sealed the deal. I'm sure we could have asked them to remove it but no doubt it would have took another 30 minutes.
Would we come back? Probably not. There's other places nearby that do good food with actual competent service.
Barca was an unexpected treat on our trip to Glasgow. They were about to accommodate our last minute reservation on a Sunday. Our table of 4 ordered 2 plates each and it was just enough food for us to leave satisfied. I would recommend getting a little bit more food if you’ve got a big appetite. My favourite dishes were the patatas bravas and pollo empanado. With a sangria to wash it all down, we ate well and left happy.
Visited with my team for a late lunch / early dinner over the festive period. Restaurant was cold, service started off well but drinks service was a bit slow and I had to go to bar at one point to order drinks for the table. It wasn't busy so not sure why that was the case. The food was nice but nothing too special. The staff however are very nice and welcoming and the French martinis were amazing!!
Been here a few times and never it disappoints. The food is amazing, and they have a wide variety of drinks. It is also located inside Princes Street which is a beautiful location.
Great food, I was happy to be back!
Great choice of dishes for both meat eaters and vegetarians, with soup of the day if soups are your thing. Fish/mussels are awesome and there's plenty of other meat to choose from.
Indoor is spacious although never sat there as they have tables out on the balcony and it's lovely to look at Princes Square's decoration, the escalators and glass elevators.
Staff was friendly and attentive.
Great location. Staff were very friendly & helped make recommendations off the menu for us. We loved the mussels. So yummy!
Typical Spanish food, some of it was lovely ( scallops cod, calamari and croquettes) the rustic bread was a bit bland and we've had much better patatas bravas. The service was good and our waitress very friendly. As with many places there was already a 10% service charge added, I'm not a huge fan of this practise.
Nice place to eat Spanish food. Every ordered food is delicious.
