We had a lovely experience at Local Tapas in Barcelona. The food was beautifully prepared with great attention to flavor and presentation. There was a good selection of dishes to choose from, and everything we tried was delicious. On a cooler, rainy day, the restaurant felt especially cosy and inviting—a perfect place to relax and enjoy a meal. A special thanks to our waiter, Abi, who was incredibly attentive and sweet, making us feel very welcome throughout. Overall, great value for money. Highly recommend!

The culinary experience I had in this place on 2nd March , was so amazing that I had to get back. We order many dishes to share , but as I was looking at other tables I wanted everything. The Tuna tartare with Anchovies is my favorite one . So full of flavors. One of the best paella I ever had was the seafood paella. I loved the cheese cake. Abby has amazing personality, very attentive to details, smiling at all time and making great recommendation! Service is exquisite.. it has an organic flow . They watch you all the time and as soon as one of the tapas is finished the next one will follow immediately.. paella takes 30
Min which is explain how fresh and tasty it was. Everything is fresh and full of  flavors and takes you to a delightful culinary experience! I work for an airline for 14 years this is the place I will return for sure every time I am back in Barcelona , because the food and the service.

Our experience at Local Tapas was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and the atmosphere was inviting and full of charm.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We started with their toast topped with ham, goat cheese, and a delicious tomato jam—each bite was a perfect balance of savory and sweet. The prawn scampi was cooked to perfection, bursting with flavor, and the highlight of the meal was the paella with octopus—rich, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely mouthwatering. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic Spanish flavors.

A special mention to our waitress, Abby, who went above and beyond to make our evening even more enjoyable. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about ensuring we had a fantastic dining experience.
