Nestled in the vibrant heart of Barcelona, Bar Ramon offers an authentic taste of Catalan cuisine in a warm, inviting atmosphere. This charming tapas bar, run by the friendly siblings Yolanda and David, is renowned for its traditional dishes and lively ambiance, making it a must-visit for food lovers seeking a genuine local experience. The restaurant's cozy interior, decorated with nostalgic film and music memorabilia, creates a perfect setting for an evening of delicious bites and memorable conversations.

En varm, välkomnande vänlig plats. Uppenbarligen avnjuts av lokalbefolkningen och drivs av lika varma och vänliga bror och syster. Yolanda föreslog saker att äta och även om vi inte talade spanska, tog vi en chans, och alla var läckra. Behöver absolut boka.

Bar Ramón är en fantastisk gammaldags bar som serverar utmärkt traditionell mat på kvällen. Vi var mycket väl omhändertagna av våra värdar, David och Yolanda, vars familj har ägt baren sedan 1939. 
Vi åt några fantastiska pata de pulpo (krispig och späd bläckfisktentakel) , ensalada de habas (bondbönsallad) , gambas al ajillo (räkor med vitlök) , butifarra ibérica con foie (iberisk korv med lever) , almejas (musslor) och pastel de limón (citronkaka). 
Inredningen är fantastisk - det finns massor av film och musik minnessaker på väggarna, en stor atmosfär och bra musik. 
Detta är en restaurang bar, det blir upptagen, så helst måste du boka.

Mysig bistro med god mat och en lokal publik. Jazzmusik spelas ibland. 
Akta dig, ägarna är hålla på katalanska traditioner så kommer inte att svara på spanska, men på katalanska. Och gör inte fel i att be om sangría eller andra mycket icke - katalanska objekt!

baa9973f-1bb6-463d-9295-e10b91920bf0

Mycket lokal typisk mat. Vi beställde det mesta av hela menyn och i allmänhet alla smakar bra. Butifarra med Four Grass är utsökt liksom Bomba och Octopus ben. . 
Rekommenderar helt. .

Efter 4 dagar med spansk mat, äntligen äkta vara. Följde råd av son som har 3 tapa restauranger i Kanada så vet sin mat. Spansktalande servitris gjorde ett bra jobb med att arbeta runt vår engelska. Vi satsade på den otroliga bläckfisken men det var inte den enda glädjen. Mycket eklektisk inredning och vibe

Vi hade möjlighet att besöka fyra Tapasbarer på en Devour Tour i Barcelona. Vår guide Alvaro var underbar och de som ägde varje plats var spektakulära. Vi introducerades till Vermouth på vår första plats och slutade natten på Bar Ramon med några av de bästa tapas och vin som vi hade upplevt i Barcelona. Om du har en chans att turnera med Devour men inte se till att inkludera Bar Ramon i din utekväll. Maten och gästfriheten är oöverträffad

Utsökt mat! Välkomnande personal och bra atmosfär - allt fungerar perfekt där! ! ! Det är ett "måste" i Barcelona

f7eb53fc-c4cb-4122-82b0-e20a49478fe0

Denna plats är en klassisk gammal spansk restaurang. Vi rekommenderades att åka hit av vänner och det var väldigt trevligt. Maten är bra, men tjänsten kommer inte med mycket av ett leende. Sammantaget en trevlig plats men och värt ett besök.

f2c289b2-d247-45fc-aef7-2045aa8b004d

Atmosfären är tidlös och maten är alltid lysande. Katalanska menyn att gå med det livliga humöret. Tjänsten är stor. Priserna är stora. Bar Ramon är en klassisk plats i staden för att njuta av Barcelona. Älskar det.

fa7e5f78-bed4-462a-a80c-2b7164cf3885

Autentisk katalansk tapasbar. Maten är god, jag rekommenderar bläckfisk och musslor. Men det är lite frustrerat att beställa måltiden, eftersom ägarna inte talar engelska och dessutom är menyn endast på spanska. Bokning behövs.
När det gäller alla ovan nämnda minskade jag mitt betyg från 5 stjärnor (mat) till 4 stjärnor totalt.

b06d1699-1a1f-4a4a-bc34-63774c6ec4a1

Bra mat - händer ner. Tyvärr är det alltid så svårt att bara stanna och äta. Vi var mycket lyckliga och någon hade just avbrutit när vi ringde. Vi tog en taxi och rusade för att komma dit. Aldrig haft en tapas där jag trodde att "det här kunde bli bättre". Grillad bläckfisk var utmärkt och kvaliteten på croquetas är fantastisk. Älska ägaren att hon fortsätter att försöka lära oss katalanska. Som hon ska säga, besi

Bar Ramon är en liten fin tapas restaurang. Det var nära till vårt hotell. Därför valde vi det för vår middag. Och det var ett mycket bra val.

Rätterna på den lilla menyn är varierade och läckra. Kortet är dock endast skrivet på katalanska.

Om du vill besöka restaranten måste du boka i förväg.

42117fda-7fcf-4aa8-b6b2-97e9d884b847

allt om denna plats är perfekt. musiken, maten, personalen atmosfären.

Du måste veta vad du ska beställa för att få de bästa sakerna som om du går till klassiska bravvas och padron du inte kommer att ha full erfarenhet.

Pulpo och musslor är nästa nivå. vitlöksräkena som odlas för doppning är nästa nivå.

Stek tostada med foie är vacker.

Dess tunga men allt du vill ha från en avslappnande måltid ute.

Bombaserna är väldigt mycket bra.

Jag älskar denna plats så mycket den är fylld av kärlek.

ett måste för en äkta katalanska / spanska erfarenhet och dess sooooo rimliga särskilt med vin.

Läckra bläckfisk, bra service och min första bomba! vi var inte rusade trots massorna kommer in. Måste göra en reservation! Utsökt!

80b42d79-9962-4564-aa53-169e49dd8bfc

Denna lilla familjen bar är så populär, vänligen boka för att säkra ett bord. Stor atmosfär, fantastiska delar av tapas. Vi var giriga och beställde massor av läckra tapas - la bomba, blåost croquettes, vitlök räkor, bläckfisk a la plancha rekommenderas. Stor plats och bara 2 minuter från vårt hotell!

I really hate this phrase on Yelp. But I "really wish I could give this place 6 stars". Now that we got that out of the way. But after a 3 city trip to Europe, this is the frontrunner for my favorite meal. Was it the food? Was it the company? Was it the service? Was it the interaction with the owners? The answer to all of those is... YES!

If you want a true neighborhood spot in Barcelona with delicious food, look no further. I will say the English translation would be tough. Not as tough with me since my wife speaks Spanish.

Their tomato bread was the best I had. Their razor scallops were top notch. But the octopus and sardines were the show stealers for this meal. If you are in Barcelona and don't mind fighting the language barrier, come here hands down.

If you want a very authentic Spanish Catalan experience - definitely try Bar Ramón. Be mindful though that the staff does not speak English so be prepared with Google Translate or some elementary Spanish. We ordered a ton of food for our large group and my favorites were the avocado with prosciutto and dates, the duck, the lamb, and the steak. The white wine was also absolutely amazing as well. It's moderately priced (€€), but you get a ton of food for your money so it is a good value. 
The restaurant is a bit small so if you have a large group, try to go during a slower time so you can get seated. It's a very local restaurant, so feels very Catalan!
Definitely try out Bar Ramon!

Really nice place and atmosphere. I recommend for a good casual nights and lunch. I went there with my wife for a drinks and food I recommend to anyone.

I've been eating my way through Spain and France and only now have some time to catch up on my reviews.  I'm glad I got a new phone and took photos of everywhere and everything I've eaten.  I had sent out a Yelp talk thread when I arrived and received some good suggestions, and one of them was Bar Ramon.

Most people eat pretty late and we only had breakfast that morning before catching the train, so we were pretty hungry.  I translated a recent review of this place from local Yelper Sarah G, and it sounded great!

We ordered a great bottle of wine and just started ordering.  Our server, Yolanda?, was great since my Spanish was not very good and her English was the same, so mi amigos!  My favorite would have to be the meatballs, but everything was good.  The "bomba" was an interesting mix of potato and cheese, and I loved the cheese stuffed mushrooms!  She also brought out the dessert tray which makes it all the more tempting.  This woman really knew how to work a table.  We ordered the chocolate mousse cake and lemon cheesecake.  Both satisfied the sweet tooth!

It was starting to get crowded and we watched a table of Japanese tourists ordering and looking through their translation books.  They play some great jazz music which seems to be their vibe and it works.  I wanted to come back, but there was so much more to try so another visit will have till next time!

One of my top 3 meals while in Spain. Small neighborhood joint that gets packed pretty quick. I would recommend reservations. Our waitress, who I think might be the owner, was super friendly and attentive. Mind you, she was waiting on everyone!! And the whole time looking around to see who needed what. The rabbit ribs were great tasty little morsels. The steak with foie was delicious. Do yourself a favor and get it. The octopus "arm" was perfection. Maybe the best octopus I've ever had. Super tender and flavorful. She brought out a dessert layered with cream and a filo dough that was the perfect ending to a night of cold beer and delicious food. I would highly recommend this gem. Go and ENJOY!!!

31cd0fe5-a240-41ee-a8d8-d1b79407e9e6

Pretty awesome place! Loved the decor and the food was also pretty yum. Staff was very accommodating (and funny may I add). But, they speak very limited English so...Google Translate menu! Orrrr....just pint and nod with the waitress like we did :) Our waitress recommended the wine and it went pretty well with everything we ordered. It was also kept in a nice cooler on our table, whichhhh I wished was a lot bigger btw...but yeah, I think if I could, I would give this place between 3 & 4 stars.

Food:
Garlic Prawns (Gambas Ajillo)
I think the shrimp was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was pretty awesome. I liked dipping the bread in it. 

House Meatballs (Albóndigas de la Casa)
It was pretty solid, could use more flavor though

Rabbit Ribs (Costillas de Conejo)
Probably my favorite dish here (sorry bunnies)! 

Steak with Foie Gras (Filete con Foie)
Not a big fan of foie so I guess my opinions may be a bit biased for this, but the steak was nice!

Bomb (Bomba)
I can't tell whether I just ate too much or this bomb was kinda too heavy for me. 

Toasted Bread with Tomato
Could be more toasty/less soggy~

92a9f2b2-a49d-4fdd-87cd-a3903cbeba98

Excellent food and the best meal we had while in Barcelona. They only serve small plates which is great because you get to try more things. Wonderful and attentive service. Good to know some Spanish as the staff doesn't know English.

This place came back as top 5 places for tapas in the Barcelona guide book we bought as well as on eater.com so we had high expectations. Our hotel was able to make reservations the day of which you definitely need as it's small and fills up. 

The food overall was good, but I would keep venturing for amazing tapas. The pan con tomate bread was too dense and not crusty enough for the full effect. The croquettes were well made as well but the bomba was soggy and not hot all the way through. Our waitress recommended the octopus (it was double the price of anything else on the menu). It was a nice texture but over salted. The pimientos were really tasty I'd recommend them. 

We were a little disappointed with the 'house wine' that was recommended to us because it was cheap and good. It was a merlot- you think they'd sell a cheap Spanish wine but oh well. 

The staff was very nice but I don't think this place is worthy of the best you can get in Barcelona as we read before going.

4dc1a7e7-87bf-42f6-8bbf-86a5252da607

This was a great place just down the street from where we stayed! They were very accommodating and attentive. Food was amazing! We had the squid arm, bombas, chaminiones -( mushroom with cream cheese and Jamon on top), avocado with salmon, razor clams, and the egg plant with some sort of ground beef and and cheese on top.  Everything was wonderful and would  very much so recommend if you ever visit Barcelona! Reservations are needed but very much worth it! They also gave us other recommendations for food and attractions while we are in Barcelona.

This place sums up why Barcelona has such a fearsome reputation for good food. We hapless tourists happened upon it whilst randomly walking around, and encouraged by the cool-looking interior, decided to try out this local-filled tapas bar.

This is definitely more bar than restaurant, but boy was the tapas good. Very simple, simply delicious: steak with foie gras, Barca-style patatas bravas, even the bruschetta was delicious.

Our host Yolanda was so nice to us, despite the language barrier (little English on her part, hand-written menu only in Spanish), she was happy to put up with our confusion and was utterly charming.

The bill was almost absurdly small. Oh for a place like this back in Manchester.

The next day, we had the same problem: needing food and having nowhere to eat. We simply went back here and repeated the experience.
