Ciudad Condal
Ciudad Condal is the old name of the city of Barcelona. The place opened in 1997, is known for its large choice of beers and for its tapas.
Always full inside, nice wooden decoration, as well as outside where there is a typical terrace on the middle of Rambla Catalunya.
It's a very good address. At first look you might think that it's quite commercial (rapidity of the service, waiters waiting for you) but once you tried the tapas you understand that working people or connoisseurs are here to have a good lunch.
All kinds of tapas, desserts, fine wine and alcohol will reconcile you with a hard day working (to come) or hanging around.

Tapas - Shaun ling, Malaysia (8 Oct 2019 - 08:46)
After coming late on Friday n was told to wait for 50 minutes, we decided to come early on Monday night. Ordered goat meat, cod,small fish w peppers and mushrooms/asparagus. Cod was the best. Goat was surprisingly tender and the veges were a bit salty but fresh. 35 euros for 2 people.

There is nothing to say about great tapas but unfortunately waiters are so rude and arrogant. While we were trying to order some tapas we needed help about ingredient and when we asked for help he stared at us and made an annoying “pufff “sound he did not say anything about menü.he behaved us like we are a waste of time for him. Somehow we chose tapas and ate.after we had finished he started to take plates and glasses carelessly and poured the wine to our clothes. He didnt even apologiZe.

We came to this place accidentally but enjoyed the tapas and the sangria immensely. The ambiance is very inviting and relaxing. The service was excellent. Alexander our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and all the guest of his tables even when the place was packed.

Ciudad condal restaurant - Angel (31 May 2015 - 10:58)
The best tapa restaurant I have ever visited. The atmosphere is very good, mainly sponsored with local citizens of Barcelona.
I was in that city 4 days and ate there everyday. Thank you, owners of this restaurant, for making my eating experience a success in your city.
food and service - Ciudad Condal Tapas Restaurant - Mirta Luque (26 May 2015 - 11:34)
The tapas were SUPERB!!!!! food was incredibly fresh, with the best ingredients. We sat at the counter which is the best place so you can see the tapas you are going to order and the tapas that the locals ask the most so you know which ones are the most popular and can order. By 11:00 am they remove all tapas and put fresh ones! I asked them why they were doing that and they told me that they WERE OLD ALREADY! I recommend the place but make sure you go a few times because each time it is going to be a wonderful experience!!!!
Going Down - Frans Jacobs ( Barna resident for 9 years) (19 Aug 2014 - 13:45)
Slow service. Crap patatas bravas. We turned the first 2 dishes back because there was a hair in the food !!!! Didn't get any compensation of special apologies. Not acceptable.
Not the best anymore - Marjo from Finland (7 Jul 2014 - 09:00)
Place has turned into too tourism and fast food type of place. Too long waiting time doesn't justice the service nor the quality of food. Extremely salty cod, not possible to eat. Soft and old pat atlas bravas. Terrible desert ; homemade cake and Cyrene brûlée taste like bulky staff from cheap market. Will never ever go again and can't recommend!!
simple and good - tapa tapa (10 Jun 2014 - 10:30)

Gerat restaurant - Yessica (20 Aug 2012 - 09:30)
Yesterday i've been to this restaurant with my dad and it was very Nice. We waited half an hour but it was totally worth it. The staff is very friendly and fast and the food very good and not expensive. Don't forget the sangria of white cava!

Ciudad Condal - Simply the best - Paul from Scotland (26 Feb 2012 - 10:00)
I visited this restaurant last year when I was attending a trade show. This is the best Tapas restaurant/bar I have ever been in. The service is fantastic and the food superb. A great selection of fresh tapas and cold beers.
Couldn't be better. - Go there, you will not regret it.

Tapas - B. Samson (1 Sep 2011 - 13:45)
The best tapas in Barcelona, bar none.
Tapas - Barcelona baby (4 Jul 2011 - 10:15)
Try the asparagus and mushroom tapas-freshly made with just a hint of salt. The asparagus were tender but crisp and the mushrooms delicately complimented the dish. Waitstaff very helpful and suggested a variety of tapas for our table of four.
We were not disappointed with the selection of potato, steak,shrimp,green peppers,squid,and smelts. More than sufficiently filled us up. Thank you to Louis for a wonderful recommendation!
nothing - unknown if u try to look me up WATCH (21 Jun 2011 - 09:30)

Great Food - Joost ter Waarbeek (1 Aug 2010 - 22:00)
Every time I go to Barcelona I make sure that I have spare time to visit this place. I have been there many times. Start with a 'Superflautas' (beer) and a 'Sole Mio' and then make your choice from the fresh made tapas. You will have a great time. Writing this I think I should go again soon.
ciudad condal - alex (26 Jul 2010 - 00:00)
bonjour à tous,
j'ai lu bcp d'avis positif sur ce restaurant tapas et je me demande bien pourquoi : fade, gras, cher, j'ai commandé des calamars à la romaine la pâte à beignet etait pas cuite blanche et le calamar du chewing gum, et le clou de la soirée c'etait l'omelette tellement grasse que j'ai du l'eponger , je n'y retournerai plus ça c'est sûr !
Peut mieux faire.... - Mysteryman (14 Dec 2009 - 15:45)
Cela fait longtemps que je voulais gouter les Tapas de Ciudad Condal... Il y a toujours plein de monde, la plupart des clients sont des locaux et la renommée du lieu n'est plus à démontrer. Et pourtant... étant à Barcelone pour le Week End, nous y sommes allé et je suis décu. Les bravas étaient mous, le reste n'avait pas trop de goût et les prix sont élevés pour la quantité. Donc en résumé, il y a tellement de bons endroits où manger des tapas à Barcelone que j'ai regretté ma visite dans ce resto. Espérons que ce ne soit qu'une mauvaise passe....
card payment - th (9 Dec 2009 - 21:15)
best tapas in town, for sure.
but i was surprised to see that someone says (in french) that he got charged twice when he paid with his bank card.
they said (after tapping the code) that there was a problem.
as a matter of fact, i had this too.
i paid with credit card, so it was easily protested afterwards.
as i read now that it happens more than once, i'm a bit disappointed in the place...
but probably i'll go there again and just pay with cash ;)
tapas are really too good.

Ciudad Condal is very good.. but i'm not master of tapas... fun anyway
Great Tapas - good price - Cori (11 Jun 2009 - 02:41)
I was in Barcelona from 5/21-5/26/09 and one of my best meals was at Cuidad Condal. We had the mini hamburgers with caramelized onions and they were amazing and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely heading back there the next time I'm in town.

CIUDAD CONDAL - R. BONNET (1 Oct 2008 - 09:24)
ATTENTION ARNAQUE......
Dans cet restaurant semble exister un type d'arnaque bien particuliere: Quand vous règlez par carte bancaire, il arrive, qu'après avois tapé votre code, l'on vous indique que "çà n'a pas marché.." Confiant, vous règlez en espèces...Pour voir quelques jours plus tard votre compte bancaire débité" Donc double paiement,Toute réclamation demeure sans réponse.. Qui sont les escrocs ? employés ou la direction????
Donc si celà vous arrive, EXIGEZ bien le ticket d'abandon de la carte bancaire.
Ciudad Condal Tapas - Jeanette (2 Aug 2008 - 00:21)
Ciudad Condal was the best food we ate when we visited Barcelona in May 2008. The service was great, the tapas fresh and the atmosphere upscale and hip. The desserts were fabulous as well! A place not to be missed!
Best tapas... - Tara Wilson (23 Jan 2008 - 11:10)
I generally am not a fan of tapas, or Spanish food in general. This place is clean, fabulous service, and my No1 place to eat when i go to Barcelona.
Ciudad Condal - Kevin Troy (18 Jan 2008 - 20:26)
Walked in from the street as it looked very inviting and the fish looked appealing.
Ordered Boquerones,Prawns and some Calamari. Found it fairly dissapointing to be honest, had eaten at El Quim in the Boqueria earlier for half the price and found it to be much much better. It was very busy and enjoyed the overall ambience, but the food was a letdown..
OTTIMO - ELISA E ROBERTO - MILANO (25 Oct 2007 - 17:37)
E' TUTTO VERO, IL SERVIZIO E' VELOCE E IL PERSONALE MOLTO CARINO ED EDUCATO MA LA COSA MIGLIORE SONO LE TAPAS, FANTASTICHE NELLA SUA VARIETA' E QUALITA'.
ABBIAMO GRADITO MOLTO LA BIRRA AL LIMONE (DAMM LEMON) SPERO DI TROVARLA ANCHE QUI A MILANO.
Ciudad Condal is the best! - Libby Kessman (6 Oct 2007 - 15:18)
In the short time I was in Barcelona last month, I ate there twice--fantastic!
Always delicious. I had their house rum cake, which was the best I've ever had--if it's possible to get the recipe for it, please send to LKx13@aol.com--mmmm!
Want to return soon!
rien à dire - andyvain (23 Aug 2007 - 13:11)
A un prix raisonnable, vous trouverez ici un grand choix de bonnes tapas, mais c'est un lieu prisé, car bonne adresse, dans un décor somptueux à l'intérieur;
Une attente est à prévoir pour y avoir une table, surtout en terrasse.
Mais c'est une excellente adresse pour y manger, et on sent bien que la clientèle y est...ce n'est pas un bar à tapas de prolétaires lol.
ça fait beaucoup plus restau que bar à tapas.
excelent!!! - marcelo-Brasil (14 May 2007 - 22:48)
Ótimo lugar para vários chopps e montaditos de frutos do mar que são maravilhosos!! quem for à Barcelona deve jantar uma noite neste lugar....eu recomendo!!!

FANTASTIC MOUTHWATERING DISPLAY OF TAPAS
By MICHIEL BIJKERK from AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS
TAXI DRIVER TOLD US TO TRY THIS TAPAS BAR WITH A MODERN LOUNGY LOOK AND WE FELL FOR IT THE FIRST TIME WE VISITED. WE TRIED OTHER TAPAS BARS, BUT THIS ONE WAS THE BEST. YOU CAN SIT AT THE BAR AND MAKE YOUR CHOISE, BUT ALSO TAKE A TABLE AT THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT, HERE YOU WILL FIND A HUGE DISPLAY OF CANS OF INTERNATIONAL BEER-BRANDS AGAINST THE WALLS, WITH SPOTLIGHT ON THEM. TAPAS CHANGE EVERY DAY, EXCELLENT FOOD, CONCERNING STAFF. WELL DRESSED SPANISH LOCALS AND BUSINESS MEN-WOMAN (NO TOURISTS/BACKPACKERS).
HIGH ARCHED CEILINGS. JUST 2 MINUTES NORTH OF PLACA CATALUNYA. TO AVOID CROWDS GET THERE EARLY AFTERNOON FOR LUNCH WITH A GLAS OF TORRES ROSE. GETS REAL BUSY AFTER 09.30 PM. SO GET IN BEFORE THAT TIME TO GET THE BEST SPOT AT THE BAR. GO FOR IT!!!
Ciudad Condal best taps bar ever vist. - Freek Bakker (24 Feb 2006 - 17:34)
When visited Barcelona you should visit Ciudad Condal. Great atmosphere and ambiance , even in the afternoon as well as midnight. During one of our last city visits we been there every day. During the summer you can sit outside on the terras as well. But most important a broad/fresh tapas assortment with nice /friendly service.
So realy looking forward to our next vist on March 7. ( Barca -Chelsea)
