Searched this place out after the guide book recommendation from Lonely Planet and was not disappointed in the food.
Tables and seating are all bar counters and stools unless outside. We opted to stay in given the weather and were lucky to get a spot. However it’s not too comfortable and can be quite tight sat next to other diners.
Ordered a few dishes including the croquettes, peppers and cheesy chip/fries, tomato bread type tapas and a couple other bits can’t remember them all. Overall food was quite good, service was average as the waitress didn’t really understand English too well, and wasn’t bothered when we enquired about a dish on the next table. Also not all dishes are available as advertised. Lethargic service is a common issue across most Barcelona restaurants and this was no different.
Check it out for the food for a quick lunch to tick off your guide book list in between sightseeing, not suitable for dinner or much else.

Thanks for taking some time to write a comment from your experience ArifB 1977.
We do apologize for the inconvenience that our waitress didn’t understand English too well. We do require a level of English in order to work at the Restaurant.
We are glad that you liked the food that you ate but at the same time, depending on the day we might not have the dishes that clients ask for because we work with fresh, seasonal food and daily fresh food, that might be the reason we did not have the ingredients for the dish you asked for.
Once again, sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to see you again to try new tapas!

Food was nicely prepared and tasted good but this place just wasn't what I had expected. We were recommended this by a friend who had previously been to BCN, but to be honest it felt very touristy and service was a bit slow. And since food was good but felt quite ordinary I can't give this place more than a three. There is def better places for an easy lunch than this.

Very expensive place, tiny portions. It is not possible to charge 100 euros for 2 portions of tomato bread, 1 plate of Serrano ham, 1 mini potato and onion tortilla, 1 omelet with cod, a toast with mozzarella and truffle, 1 bravas potato, 3 bottles of 33cl water, 1 glass of 33cl beer and 1 glass of sangria. Tiny portions and not excellent local. When you leave here, book another restaurant, because you will still be hungry.

Got to this place from Lonely Planet.
We got a typed paper menu.. (supposed to be an upper level tapas place from a very famous chef)
They didn't give us a drink menu, so that tells you.. we are going to charge you a lot for your drinks. When we asked for one, she said, we have beers, wine, sangria, etcetera..
We got 3 different tapas, nothing outstanding.. it was just good.
One of their servers had a pretty bad attitude and unwilling to explain some of the items in the menu, the other one was friendly and willing to help.
If someone asks me about place to go in Barcelona, I wouldn't mention this, it is extremely overpriced.

When to Tapas 24 on Diagonal on Monday night as a group of 4. Waitress that took our order returned to our table 5 minutes later to state that 3 of the dishes ordered were not available. Subsequently, we kept getting food delivered to the table that we had not ordered. The 19€ bottle of wine that was ordered was not delivered to the table instead a 94€ bottle was. When the bill was delivered they had charged for the items originally ordered but not available. Awful experience.

On our last night in Barcelona we wanted to walk to a place that was close to our hotel. How fortunate to have picked Tapas 24. The servers were great immediately treating us upon arrival. Also the restaurant was very clean and organized no clutter and plates were taken away as we finished and beverages offered when glass almost empty. The kitchen was also very clean with 3 chefs preparing fresh food. We had the chicken and ham croquettes that were delicious. We also had the patatas bravas that were great as well . A nice wine list and also local beers on draft. I would highly recommend this restaurant

We went to Tapas 24 on a Monday night in April. It was full of tourists. There was very little welcome or pleasantries. No effort was made to initially serve us and I had to ask staff repeatedly for things. my attempt at speaking Spanish was mocked.
The food was ok but really not great Tapas. There was no fish available at all as we were told the fish market didn’t open Monday. The restaurants take on potatoes bravos was revolting, greasy french fried flabby chips soaked in a mayo hot sauce combo. Not a spicy multilayered sauce - just a palate wrecking cheap hot sauce.
We were however more put off by the attitude of some of the staff - when a group of 6 young english women turned up there was a flurry of rather was a flurry of sexist comments and jokes about how much they would spend. At that point we paid and left.
There are so many fabulous Tapas bars in Barcelona serving fabulous food with enthusiasm and courtesy, go to them not this Guide Book recommended lazy venue.

we are very impressed by the service and knowledge of our waiter Alvin. He was able to recommend us dishes that were accommodating to our taste buds. He was also very patient with our endless questions. He added his own personal touch by sharing his favourites and experiences with the dishes here. It is also very festive and family friendly with nice, chill vibes during this holiday season.
a noticeable feature of this restaurant is their unique ‘anti-slip’ tables where the dishes and plates are nicely secured on it.

This place is cozy but it's great! We had to wait for a table for the four of us mid-afternoon. We didn't have to wait long though. We got seats at the bar and had a great time! We enjoyed mussels, grilled cheesy sandwiches, two scrambled egg dishes, chocolate desserts and more! Friendly service. Highly recommend!

THIS IS A TOURIST TRAP.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. I visited this place with a friend and we both were absolutely disappointed. The patatas bravas were very greasy, the huevos estrellados were terrible and they forgot the olives in the first place. But what was absolutely frustrating, was the squid sandwich. They charge you almost 10€ for a two-bite, tiny plate! Staff was not very friendly as well. I live in Barcelona and this is by far, the worst restaurant I’ve been to.

Firstly a bit shocked at the bad reviews on here as we literally couldn’t fault it! We had just arrived in Barcelona and having seen this tapas restaurant (although it’s very much a tapas bar as opposed to a full on restaurant) mention on Lonely Planet we decided to head there. Firstly, the waitress was welcoming and lovely. We ordered a few tapas and asked if she had any recommendations. She suggested the sandwich... don’t be fooled... no ordinary sandwich. It was so delicious! The rest of the food was really really good too. We ordered the meatball, cod fritters with honey (they were unbelievable), tomato bread. The wine was good too! We went around 4/5pm so it quieter but I would imagine it gets really busy and buzzy a bit later in the evening. By the time we left it was getting that way. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I were thrilled to return to Tapas 24 after an amazing experience four years ago. We even managed to sit in the exact seats we had back then, but sadly, the magic was gone.
While the staff was friendly enough, they didn't offer any advice or guidance on what seemed like a basic and terribly expensive tapas menu. There were no rice dishes, and nothing was explained to us, leaving us to navigate the menu on our own.
We opted for what we hoped would be delicious choices: calamari, meatballs at €17.50, and a Florida salad. Unfortunately, the calamari was average, the meatballs tasted like something from a Campbell's tin, and the Florida salad was just bang average. To top it off, the bill for these dishes, along with a beer and water, came to over €60!
Having spent a week in Seville enjoying superb tapas at much more reasonable prices, even in top restaurants, this experience was a stark contrast. What has happened to Tapas 24? It used to be a highlight of our trips to Barcelona, but this visit was so disappointing that we won't be back.

I’m on a business trip in Barcelona and my hotel is just down the road.. I’ve ended up in this restaurant walking by and I had a great customer service experience with Paul, very professional and providing the best advice to enjoy a great meal. Definitely a place to come back :)

Absolutely awful food. Patasas bravas was cold chips with Mayo on! The tuna salad was also soggy and flavourless. We also ordered meatballs which had not arrived by the time we went to pay. When we got the bill they were still on there and made us wait another 10minutes for them! When we said we didn’t want them anymore as we had waited over 30 mins they said we had to pay. Awful service do not go here!!!!

My husband and I visited Tapas 24 based on the recommendation of a friend, and we enjoyed it. The white wine was exceptionally refreshing and cold and the food was great. We visited twice and ate inside at the bar the first time and outside the second time, and the service was good on both occasions. Our hotel was on Passeig de Gracia, so it was close and very reasonably priced.
