Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Take the 14 minute walk from La Rambla to enjoy amazing house-made vermouth and classic tapas. The patatas braves, grilled peppers, and goats cheese/red peppers were our favorites. Chill tapas bar away from all the tourists.

Food was quite nice however one of our dishes never arrived so after 20 minutes went and asked about it. To have staff laugh and gossip in our faces and then serve a dish described as marinated dogfish,which turned up unseasoned and fried. We queried...this and said it wasn’t described as fried (our friend has a gluten intolerance) to which the server told us we were wrong, marinated means fried and marinated food cannot be served without being deep fried…We could not replace and still have to pay for it. I would honestly rate the service a 0 out of 5 but the food we got that was actually correct was nice.More

My friends and I came here to have dinner and eat tapas, food was too expensive for the quality and we also felt a bit bad. A few of us had nausea and bloating; they didn’t respect the allergies. I would not recommend eating here.

Many years ago we truly enjoyed the tasty tapas at this small restaurant.This time, we were very disappointed.The prices have gone hogjrt and the quality of food has gone down. Chorizo bites cookef in cider tasted only of salt. Pieces of cuttlefish grilled were chewy,...salty but bland. Overpriced. Would not go back.More

My friends and I have been visiting Bormuth for many years and it was always a firm favourite when we visited Barcelona, thus we sought it out for a visit on our recent trip. Attempted to book (as a group of 5) but was told...they no longer accept bookings post covid & were under new management. Turned up to find other tables had reserved signs (how is that possible if you don’t take bookings). Only table available on the upper levels was a narrow plank with high stools. As we were attending for dinner there wasn’t enough space on this table for our plates as well glasses. We asked to be seated downstairs which was empty, to be told their policy was to only open downstairs once upstairs was full. When asked, the waitress had a significant attitude and refused to move us. After our drinks were brought out and it was apparent there was no space they agreed to move us. Once seated, slow service to take our food order and once the food arrived we didn’t have any plates to eat off… and had to wait a long time for anyone to get us any. The food (tapas) was good and hasn’t changed from previous and we enjoyed this. We wanted repeat drinks, again no one to be seen to order them, once ordered took >20mins to come by which point we’d finished and didn’t really want them. It’s a shame because this was a nice restaurant with good taps but totally spoiled by new management policies and poor service.More

Sadly no seating outside but we turned up on a Saturday night without a booking. We had a range of tapas but the meatballs were melt in the mouth delicious and I couldn't choose a favourite vermouth. Would come back again.

Nipped in for a cool beer and a vermouth. Grabbed a couple of stools and sat in the open section of the bar overlooking the main walking area. Didn't eat but enjoyed the cool drinks whilst resting our feet and watching the world go by.

In my opinion the food was awful, in particular the chicken wings which I would not feed to the dogs in the street. They must gave been deep fried at least 3 times and i have had more meat on a chicken drumstick than 12...wings. The meatballs were served in a bowl with what I would describe as sick and had no colour to them at all. The only good thing was the waitress who looked like a young Aimee Winehouse.More

I ve been there so many times but last time was terrible. We ordered bravas and 2 vermut, the bravas cane after 20 mins then they decided to take it back from our table. We waited another 5-10 mins and finally bravas came without forks...( which is usually served even before the food) we asked for forks and the girl said she ll bring it but it didnt happen in the next 5 mins and our bravas is getting cold , I asked for the manager whos excuse was that the girl is busy (which is not accepted because we already pay for the service in the price) he offered to bring another one but I honestly dont want to wait more. He offered also to not pay the drinks my intention was not to get anything for free but as a regular client to get something reasonable not an excuse that “she s busy”. After all, the servant who was busy went after us after we paid the bill and left the place saying“ you need to pay”More

they do take reservations, although it depends on the hours and group size. but honestly, you don't really need a reservation, worst case scenario is a 15m wait, while you sip a vermuth or artisan beer :)
