Barceloneta

Pleasantly surprised I went to visit my cousin who's studying in Leicester, I was extremely surprised at the quality of food in restaurant. My wife's Spanish so I know a little about Spanish cuisine, the food was super authentic. The crocequettes were incredible. The only difference I could find is gambas pil pil doesn't have tomatoe in spain, but we ordered gambas in garlic olive and chilli. So of the names don't match up but I think it's because the chefs south american, so things maybe different there. The front of house was attentive enough but not too attentive , which was just right. I belive his name was shaun, he looked from an indian background. If management see this give this man a raise or a healthy tip, amazing chap! Price wise compared to London was incredible value, its hard finding tapas that's responsibly priced in the UK, but this place successfully achieved this. My only gripe is some of the dishes should come with bread. We spent £14 on bread alone, which was a bit silly , some maybe if the management could include this with some of the dishes that would be great.

Busy tapas restaurant. Tables are quite crammed in but not uncomfortable. Food choices offer something for everyone. Portions are sufficient to allow a group to order different dishes to sample. Service is efficient and pleasant. Drinks are a bit pricey. Booking is important, particularly at weekends. Worth a try.

I’ve visited Barceloneta and it’s sister-establishment, Bar Dos Hermanos, on numerous occasions and never once disappointed. Food is divine, the ambience and decor is amazing, and the prices and wait-times are decent too. I would recommend their Huevos Rancharos con Jamón; Posh Scrambled Eggs; Tapas (especially the Chorizo with Chickpeas), and their Churros. One of, if not the best, eateries in Leicester, imo :)

Visited Barceloneta for the first time this week. We started off with a couple of drinks from their sister bar next door and i must say that £10 for two cocktails this good in quality is nothing but a bargain. The bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable and were able to recommend drinks they knew we would love. We then headed to the restaurant and were greeted by a very friendly waiter who took us upstairs. The seafood paella, beef meatballs, goats cheese balls and chicken and chorizo kebab were divine and took our tastebuds right back to Spain. Overall, great experience, hands down to Roberto for a great service, we will be visiting again soon!

I consider myself a foodie, and this bar and restaurant exceeded my expectations. The menu showcases a perfect blend of traditional and modern cuisine, prepared with the finest ingredients. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavors and beautifully presented. The bar boasts an extensive selection of spirits, and the bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or enjoy a romantic evening. This establishment sets the bar high when it comes to quality, and I can't wait to return.

Lovely meal to celebrate my birthday. Could not fault the service. The food arrived 10 minutes after ordering. Our cocktails arrived a bit late but that was to be expected as the bar next door was busy. However, the server acknowledged the delay and apologised many times and even gave us a drinks voucher for next time. Would definitely recommend!
