🇪🇸 Barcelona – Spanish Restaurant in German Village, Columbus

Located in the charming German Village, Barcelona offers a warm and romantic atmosphere — perfect for date night! 💑 While my previous visits felt a bit too salty, this time either the kitchen adjusted or I just ordered better — everything was delicious! The place is always packed, so plan ahead. 🥘 What We Tried ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Costillas – $18 Braised beef short ribs, tender and flavorful, served with blue cheese sauce, mushrooms, and chimichurri. Rich but not overly salty! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Soup del Día That day it was onion soup — deeply savory and perfect with their complimentary bread 🥖🍲 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Camarones al Ajillo – $16 Garlic shrimp cooked in olive oil — plump, tender, and full of flavor! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mejillones – $18 Fresh mussels in a creamy sauce with Spanish chorizo and spinach, served with sourdough — so good for dipping! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Salmón – $38 Perfectly seared salmon, crispy skin and tender inside, well-paired with sides. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Mariscos Negra Paella – $49 The star of the meal! Loaded with crab claws, mussels, clams, and shrimp in aromatic squid ink rice — even better than their classic version 🦑🍚 We also tried two cocktails — can’t recall the names, but they were just okay. 📍 Visit Details 📍 Address: 263 East Whittier Street, Columbus, OH 43206 🚗 Parking: A few spots out front + street parking 🚻 Restrooms: Clean and tidy 🕚 Hours: 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM | Closed Mondays 📞 Reservations: Highly recommended during peak hours #BarcelonaColumbus #SpanishFood #GermanVillage #DateNight #ColumbusEats #PaellaLover #ColumbusFoodie #TapasAndVino 🥘🍷✨
