Catalan Barcelona Tapas bar

"I have been to most tapas places in Portsmouth, and I wanted to try Catalan as it opened fairly recently. Inside it looks really nice and modern. Staff are very friendly and attentive. They offer red and white Sangria, but for me, the red stole the show. The tapas tasted ok, not the best and not the worst. Unfortunately, the portions were too small compared to other Tapas restaurants in the area."

"Visited for a work Christmas party and had an amazing night. Staff were very good; attentive and friendly. I really enjoyed my tapas especially the prawns and the tomatoes. My cocktails were perfect and delicious- I would definitely recommend attending the happy hour between 5pm - 7pm. We also got some delicious churros on the house. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious."

"Had a lovely birthday meal here lastnight for my mum and 6 friends. We loved the tapas deal they had on. Amazing selection, tempura and the paella were our favourites.. and all so tasty, portions are generous and cocktails were delicious! Thank you Lorraine and Dana for a fabulous evening :)"

"Girl that was on her own trying to sort out us and 4 other tables. Food was very good, fish dishes amazing. Unfortunately the bottle of wine we ordered wasn't chilled, so rather than say to us, so that we could change to a chilled bottle. It was put in a bucket of ice. We ended up topping up our wine with ice cubes. Food I can't fault, and as I've already said the fish dishes were gorgeous. But maybe fault of management, 1 person running the bar, making cocktails and serving food? Not sure."

"This is an absolute hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious, and the menu is pretty diverse and extensive. My server Dana was really friendly and knowledgeable, outstanding service. It is a real shame that people Don't know this place exists. I was only visiting Portsmouth for a few days, otherwise I can guarantee I would be visiting this place a lot more. I would highly recommend anyone in the area check it out."
