Cal Pep Tapas à Barcelone
Le roi des tapas
Cal Pep est le restaurant de tapas le plus connu de Barcelone.
Une réputation qui dépasse les murs de la ville est qui n’est pas usurpée.
C’est bien la meilleure adresse de la ville !!
Ici tout est bien: les tapas, le lieu, les gens, le service et le vin… Il faut y passer au moins une fois pour comprendre ce que sont les tapas et avoir un point de comparaison quand on va ailleurs.
Chaque plat est un petit délice fait avec les derniers arrivages du marché. C’est frais et ce n’est pas dénaturé.
Il y a aussi au fond du bar un restaurant bien pratique quand le bar est plein mais un peu plus cher. Le bar aussi n’est pas donné : de tapas en tapas on dépense allègrement les 40 € par personne… (enfin peut être sommes-nous un peu trop gourmands!!).
C’est toujours plein à craquer : on vous conseille de réserver pour le restaurant et d’être patient pour le bar: l’occasion de voir ce que mangent les gens et de préparer son menu. Chaque visite chez Cal Pep est une petite fête, et on en sort en se demandant quand on va bien pouvoir y retourner... au plus vite.. Horrible pour le régime!!

toujours mon préféré - miamy (14 fév 2023 - 09:28)
Cal Pep est toujours mon préféré à Barcelone. Des tapas est incroyables et les plats de fruits délicieux.
Les prix sont très raisonnables, au regard de la qualité et de la fraicheur que nous ne trouvons pas toujours dans le quartier de 10 à 23 €. Au total cela douille car on se laisse emporter.. mais cela vaut la peine de perdre du temps à l'entrée..
Cal Pep on t'aime!!

la qualité a un prix c'est tout..
@Casals - Triloc (1 déc 2017 - 08:12)
Pas d'accord avec vous. En effet dans tous les guides mais c'est une bonne adresse avec le cuisine vraiment épatante.. après il y a en effet d'autres choix possibles. Cal Pep est bourré de touristes mais ceci explique certainement cela..

toujours au sommet - mianu (21 juin 2017 - 08:08)
Superbe cuisine et des serveurs plus que sympas. Chaque fois le même plaisir, des tapas au sommet dans le registre classique. Cal Pep est à ne pas oublier lors d'un passage à Barcelone.

Cal Pep - Domi68 (17 mai 2015 - 08:22)
Nous étions tres surpris par le menu impose et déçus .... C'était moyen...Restaurant bruyant a la réputation surfaite...
trop de monde - pab (2 sept 2014 - 09:15)
Très bien, rien à dire de ce point de vue, mais il y a définitivement trop de monde dans ce restaurant.. Dernière fois que j'attends comme cela.
c'est vraiment bien en effet - week-end bcn (2 juin 2013 - 09:30)
cal pep c'est quand même absolument super. essayez d'être au bar où l'ambiance est géniale et où l'on peut choisir plus facilement ses tapas. c'est du grand classique mais vous êtes certains de faire plaisir à vos invités.
cal pep est toujours au top - miam (2 oct 2012 - 08:30)
de passage à Barcelone je n'ai pas résisté à un bon dîner chez Cal Pep. toujours un bonheur, toujours la référence pour les tapas à Barcelone.. Le reste est du blabla.
a great dinner - yess (10 sept 2012 - 11:15)
Cal pep is a great place. one of the best dinner during my stay! go go
really cool! - fre (12 juil 2012 - 09:30)
ok it's crowded but it's absolutly delicious.. fine for me!
One of the best in Europe - Barry Linder (10 juil 2012 - 08:30)
My wife and I are world travelers and this is one of the best places for seafood, we loved it, even though we had a long wait, but it is part of the experience.
tapas - Drew (8 juil 2012 - 06:15)
-friend told me it was a must visit, so I was finally able to experience & found it to be the worst tapas; I had during my entire stay in Barcelona.
-the selection was poor at best & so average; given the price.
experience - Mr. LeFleur (7 juil 2012 - 07:00)
Very high expectations. Very disappointed!!!
Ordered red wine and received white. Server wouldn't change!
Ordered one seafood choice and received four. Two of them, were terrible!
The selection of tapas, the waiter selected, was not to my liking; at all!!!
The server was not attentive. Could have cared less about the tapas I
was being served.
Very expensive, for what I was served. Over $100. euros.
Very dissatified!!! Below average. Wouldn't go back or tell anyone to
experience for themselves. Would be afraid of their displeasure.
food and service - Alyse (6 juil 2012 - 07:45)
Wanted seafood, but only one choice & server ignored my request; serving me four seafood tapas instead! His choices, two of which I did not like at all!!.
Terrible!!!
No customer service skills, no personality; ignored me totally!!!
cost of food/drink - Andrew (6 juil 2012 - 07:45)
-went the other night, found it very expensive; for what you were served.
Just Amazing - Jen (8 juin 2012 - 08:30)
We travel to dine and experience food in different places. Hands down Cal Pep is one of the best. The entire experience of waiting in line for a seat at the bar to open up and salivating over the dishes, to getting your first little dish of clams or squid prepared simply and perfectly are what makes Cal Pep a must if you are in Barcelona. Its authentic but modern and hip and busy from open to close. It truly a dining experience not to be missed.
(If you really don't want to wait arrive half an hour before they open and be one of the first 18 in line for the counter seats)
Confused... - Vanessa (31 mai 2012 - 08:45)
After reading the previous reviews, I am hesitant to go to CalPep. Obviously if the reviews are 50/50 positive/negative, then there seems to me that there is some truth to be told. I was looking forward to dining at this establishment, I will definitely think it over, thank you to all who have posted their experiences, the good and the bad.
Cal Pep - Satisfied customer (17 mai 2012 - 09:45)
Brilliant food. Even though the restaraunt was full, the staff graciously accomadated our needs and got us in. Terrific food and a great traditional spanish experience. I very much recommend visiting this restaraunt.
Poorfood, too expensive, bad service - Angrycustomer (26 jan 2012 - 10:15)
The food was not good. I am a educated Chef an i have never eaten food i disliked more. The waiters and the cooks were talking, laughing, showing their tattoos off to one enother right in front of us. It wouldent bother us that much if it didn't cost as much as a gourmet restaurant. The food was not god, and the service was not good. The price was extreme. Recommend to go someplace else.
it's way too expensive - mimi (1 déc 2011 - 08:30)
we couldn't chosse the dishes. all the customers there seemed to order 4 tapas which were recommended by the restaurant. it was such a small portion that me and my husband were still very hungry. the bill was 56 euros for 4 small tapas!!!!
all the customers were obviously foreign toursits. it was ripped-off
Noi idea about seafood!!! - TODD (9 nov 2011 - 08:30)
PERHAPS YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT INTERNATIONAL CUISINE!!! CAL PEP HAS MAINTAINED AS ONE OF THE DINE TO PLACES IN THE WORLD!!! I'VE TRAVELED A LOT AND CAN HONESTLY THAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED THE BOAT!!!
Cal pep resturant - Miri K (11 oct 2011 - 10:30)
Completely over rated,nothing special,who ever enjoyed this restaurant clearly have no idea about seafood! The food is SO Salty!very disappointing.don't bother .
I loved it - Banyuls (4 oct 2011 - 09:00)
I can't agree with the folks whose feet are tired, and who miss sweet home Alabama with it's excellent customer service. Cal Pep is a real restaurant with a recognizable determination to make good food. The good customers they can only hope for.
cal pep - woman 31 (26 sept 2011 - 22:00)
Not worth the hype. Don't trust the "pre selected" tapas. Order what you want. I had 7 tapas, only 3 were worth it. Don't get the bread, the sandy mussels, the tasteless poorly battered fried seafood plate, or the padron peppers (unless you have never had padrons, then you wont know what you are missing. Big waste of hard earned money.
love this place - sam (13 sept 2011 - 12:30)
best tapas for sure.. just very annoying to wait.
Defininitely Give it a Try! - Ash (3 août 2011 - 10:45)
This restaurant is definitely worth a visit!! Yummy, simple, tasty fresh food! Best Tapas by far in Barcelona!! ENJOY
Confused! - Gordon M. (23 juil 2011 - 18:15)
After reading the reviews, I have no idea whether I should go to Cal Pep or not. Some of the reviews are absolutely scathing...while others indicate it is the best food around. My wife and I are travelling there on August 19th,2011 and want to know where to eat.
Repas juillet 2011 - Marine (7 juil 2011 - 10:30)
Quelle bonne Adresse ! Tapas excellents et ambiance conviviale assurée ... Attendez votre tour en dégustant un apéritif et observez les tapas défiles en attendant votre tour au bar ! Les tortillas ( omelette de pomme de terre et oignons) les palourdes ... Et J en passe ... Tous fabriques devant vos yeux ... Fraicheur garantie et soirée inoubliable ! A recommander !!!!!!!
Good food, waiter very helpful - C a j (29 juin 2011 - 11:45)
Went there with my parents. We got there early and got seats no problem. I was very worried because I'm vegetarian but I told the waiter and he said there was no problem. I communicated with him in Spanish but his English seemed quite good, which is always nice just in case. We asked about a couple of dishes we'd heard of and he ordered them as well as a few others. Everyone was very nice and very helpful, and we had a great time. The food was all at least very good, some of it better than that (a little salty occasionally for my palate but still good)
Yes, it is expensive but personally I thought it was worth it for the experience. Whether or not it is for you is a personal decision.
(For reference we had fried peppers, tuna tartare, chicken/spinach croquettes, monkfish, chickpeas with spinach, mushrooms a la plancha, baby clams with ham in broth and fried baby anchovies with egg)
spectacular - fransje en co (18 mai 2011 - 10:45)
it was spectacular. if you like a surprise don't order your meal but ask them to make something for you. mmmmmmmm great
we receive some recepies at home know.
if you are going to barcelona you must eat at Cal Pep.
we hope to go again soon.
I Love It - JJ (17 mai 2011 - 10:15)
It is a spectacular place to visit if you don't go you'd be crazy. Love this.
Cal Pep, bon mais réputation exagérée ! - Quenelle67 (1 fév 2011 - 10:30)
Nous (couple 40 ans environ...) faisons partie des chanceux qui n'ont attendu que...20 minutes pour déjeuner chez Cal Pep. Ambiance authentique, produits très frais, pas de menu, bienvenue dans l'atmosphère plutôt huilée de Cal Pep. Il faut le faire, le vivre, le voir, se faire son avis et ça s'arrête là. Pour bien manger il faut effectivement prévoir 40 euros par personne et là, avouons qu'à ce prix on trouve des restaurants d'un autre niveau à Barcelone. Pain frotté à la tomate + huile d'olive, bon sans plus. Mélange de calamars/poissons/crevettes fris, sans plus. Petits poivrons fris, que les inconditionnels de Cal Pep nous expliquent la différence avec les poivrons des autres... Tartare de thon : excellent. Moules au vin, ouais, fraîches quoi les moules...Couteaux sautés, bons. Saucisse au foie gras, réduction au Porto, le tout sur haricots : excellent. Verres de vin blanc, vin quelconque mais serveur généreux. Au verre il vous laisse la bouteille et jauge votre consommation, c'est beau joueur. Bonne adresse, malgré tout réputation exagérée et tarifs un peu élevés.
Cal Pep - Paolo dal Friuli (6 jan 2011 - 19:00)
La valutazione di Elio del 4 Gennaio 2011, relativamente alla ristorazione del Cal Pep é evidentemente di persona che é abituato a pranzare in pizzeria, locali che personalmente poco frequento per ordinare esclusivamente pizza o spaghetti, che talvolta sono di qualita' discutibile. Frequento Barcelona per motivi di lavoro da oltre 15 anni e riconosco nel ristorante Cal Pep il locale tipico delle tapas Catalane, espressione della vita Catalana: qualita' e sapore del cibo Catalano, simili allo slow-food Italiano, serviti in fast-food come una pizzeria Italiana al taglio.
Punteggio: 4 stelle, consigliato per break saporiti e veloci, tipici della frenetica vita Catalana, ma da provare, previa coda o prenotazione, da ogni turista che voglia sentirsi per istante un Catalano.
ATTENZIONE !!!! - Elio Ramponelli (4 jan 2011 - 11:15)
ATTENZIONE !!!!
A tutti gli Italiani che vogliono mangiare bene e cercono come me la qualita' e il piacere del palato del nostro mangiare regionale,non cercatelo qui.A Barcellona ci si puo' solo NUTRIRE per cui un posto vale l'altro.Ho cercato e provato diverse varianti ,anche questo ristorante piu' riconosciuto ma il risultato e' sempre il solito,il rimpianto di una qualsiasi pizzeria ITALIANA
love this place - teddy V (26 nov 2010 - 14:00)
I came for the tapas and the tapas were really good. Waiting is part of the game: and we were lucky iy was fast that night. best fish tapas around.
Cal Pep - Werner (23 nov 2010 - 02:56)
Judy - I don´t agree with your description - I am not discussing your taste and your personal impression - but your comments are misinforming other people.
How do you explain that this bar - not restaurant - is known as Barcelona´s best tapa bar - and every day people - not only tourists - are queuying to get a place.
All these people don´t understand about food - all these people are prepared to be cheated - including my spanish friends and I who are frecuent guests in Cal Pep?
Sorry - I don´t buy it.
Best regard from Barcelona
cal pep - judy s (23 nov 2010 - 02:56)
DO NOT EAT HERE. Had the WORST FOOD and EXPERIENCE here. Left an extremely bad taste in our mouths, how we were treated. It ended up being 30 euros per person for 8 small plates of crap quality food.
When we walked in, they herded us to the back room and told us they don't have a menu, that we wouldn't understand it anyway so they would order 6 dishes of popular items and then after 6 they would ask us if we wanted more. If we were wise, we should have left after hearing this... However we sat down and they proceed to bring us 7-8 small size portion dishes one after another. (plate of ham, 3 croquettes, plate of clams, tortilla, fried little fish, 3 bruschetta, etc) After 8 dishes they didn't seem to stop and ask us anything so I asked for a check. They said NO. We already put another item in the oven for you. You must eat it, it's been cooked for you. We didnt eat it, but insisted on the check, that they are supposed ask after 6 dishes before bringing anymore food out. They charged us for it anyway. Since our spanish were rudimentary, we felt we could not argue and got ripped off. I think this place is a scam to rip off tourist. The food is less than mediocre and overpriced. If Spain had a Better Business Bureau, they would have been shut down already.
I Agree! - JK (23 nov 2010 - 02:56)
The waiter also insisted ordering for us and we got all sorts of things we did not want including very poor and expensive whole fish. The bill was enormous as well. To be fair about half the food was excellent but overall we felt completely ripped off.
cal pep - awful- dont bother-go to Cindad Condal instead - mm (23 nov 2010 - 02:56)
This place needs to be re-reviewed.
It is below standard and leads hundreds of unsuspecting tourists to one of the worst meals they could possibly have in Barcelona.
After telling the waiter we wanted chicken, meat, prawns and fish he told us he will pick for us (DONT LET THEM!) Their choice is the cheap rubbishy things for the tourists eg omlette, very oily deep fried calamari and 2 inch size dried out fish, over salted clams, oily mushrooms. They told us there were no prawns and chicken (though we saw other diners with prawns)
Everything was oversalted and drowning in oil so dont come here if you have heart disease!
It cost 90 euros for 2.
The night before we went to another one recommended by our local hotel Cindad Condal near Les Ramblas- absolutley thrashed this place for quality and freshness and variety- it cost 60euros for 2
The night before that we went to el bulli- what can I say! Superlative!

Cal Pep Barcelona - Carol Gimesky (5 août 2010 - 10:15)
This was our last night in Barcelona and we had read good comments about the restaurant - went there for dinner tonight and it was terrible -greasy , oily, deep fried food that was unedible. We each ordered a glass of wine and got a bottle each! It was also by far the most expensive meal we had on our trip. The staff was not helpful, ordered for us and it was truly a disaster! I am so disappointed and want to notify others so you don´t make the same mistake we did! What a night!

well.. sorry for the "few" bad comments on this page.. but went to cal pep last week.. just the better tapas around... wish I could find similar places for our next trip in Barcelona
Cal Pep - Mar (24 juil 2010 - 14:42)
This is theatre at its best. I was alone - stranded without flight- but an experience such as this almost made the whole nightmare worthwhile. Shown immediatley to a stool-a plus to being solo?- amazing tapas chosen by the waiter- try the baby clams-enjoyed every moment. Overpriced? Try one of the street cafes on La Ramblas. Small crit- I wanted BUY one of the paper placemats and it seemed the Patron was not impressed. The day we stop asking, is the day.....
cal pep - favourite (24 juil 2010 - 14:41)
my favourite tapas bar when in Barcelona... just waiting to come to Barcelona another time to run there.. of course a waiting line sometimes but worth it for sure... my favourite is tapas of pulpo gallego... hummmm and patatas bravas.....;;hummmmmm
