Barcelona Tapas Restaurant

"Had a great night at Barcelona's. Good food, service, music, and atmosphere. Yes, it is smaller than the original place, but I found it quite nice. Can definitely recommend."

"BARcelona is back and even better than I remember! We were so disappointed when they closed their doors, but the new location is cozy, trendy and tastier than ever. The churros are a MUST. Thank you for reopening!"

"BARcelona Tapas is a vibrant spot in downtown Clayton, offering a delightful fusion of Spanish flair and culinary excellence. The lively atmosphere is complemented by creative martinis and live music (Wednesday nights). The seafood paella steals the show with its rich flavors, while the goat cheese queso remains our consistent favorite. Don’t sleep on those perfectly cooked gambas and brilliant tuna steak. Having missed this spot during its two-year hiatus and relocation, the return of BARcelona Tapas is a celebration in itself. Frank Schmitz, the heart and soul of this culinary masterpiece, has been delivering exceptional food to Clayton for over two decades. The reopening in the heart of downtown Clayton makes me happy!"

""I recently had the pleasure of dining at Barcelona in Clayton, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that sets the stage for a delightful meal. The menu at Barcelona is a culinary journey, offering a diverse selection of Spanish-inspired dishes that cater to various palates. The tapas-style dining allows for a communal meal, perfect for sharing and savoring different flavors. The service was great as well. Now, let's talk about the food – it was delicious. Every dish was deliciously different and flavorful. The Empanadas were a standout, perfectly crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by a creamy sauce. The Gambas al Ajillo, with succulent shrimp in a garlic-infused olive oil, was another highlight that left a lasting impression. Finally, the Ahi Tuna, still smiling. To complement the meal, the drink menu offers an extensive selection of Spanish wines and creative cocktails. The Sangria was a refreshing choice, perfectly balanced and served in a generous portion. In conclusion, my dining experience at Barcelona in Clayton was nothing short of amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable Spanish dining experience. Thanks Frank, I’m looking forward to having happy hour with friends there."

"Great place for tapas! Service was great and Leslie's recommendations was definitely on point. Food was great. We tried the bacalao, the goat cheese with tomato sauce, beef skewers, the meatballs, and the mussels. The goat cheese and bacalao was the best. Definitely try those out.
