ATL | There's so much seafood it feels like a Mediterranean escape 🐙

🐙 Barcelona Wine Bar ATL: Where Mediterranean Seafood Runs Wild A Spanish Gem in Atlanta's West Midtown Tucked at 1085 Howell Mill Rd, this spot converted my Asian-food-loving soul—think tapas galore, wine by the glass, and vibes so chill you’ll want to camp out all night. 🌟 Tapas That Steal the Show (5-14.5$ Magic) Steak Paillard $14.5 🥩 Thin-sliced steak—solid, not mind-blowing. Good, but overshadowed by spicier tapas. Save $$ for the seafood! Patatas Bravas $8 🔥 OBSESSED! Crispy potatoes smothered in tangy tomato sauce + garlic aioli. Pro tip: Dunk the free bread in the sauce—seriously, it’s better than any dip you’ve had. Crispy Calamari $11.5 🦑 Fried squid is great, but the real star? Fried red peppers on the side—sweet, crispy, and addictive. Squid who? Paella Mariscos $28 (half portion) 🍲 My Boston friend claims "best paella ever"—and she’s right. Loaded with mussels, shrimp, and fish, rice soaked in saffron broth. Five of us devoured it in minutes. Grilled Lamb $16 🐑 Missed the photo, but not the taste! Tender, no gamey flavor, perfectly medium-rare. Even lamb haters will approve. 🍷 Vibe & Why You Need to Go Perfect for：Groups, dates, or solo wine + tapas nights. Window seats let you people-watch while sipping sangria. Pro Tip：Order 3-4 tapas per person + share paella. Cocktails are solid, but wine by the glass is the move. Price Reality：$30-50/person with drinks—worth every penny for the paella and patio vibes. 🌟 Final Takeaway: Atlanta's Spanish Soul Skip the basic spots and hit Barcelona for tapas that pop, paella that transports, and a vibe that says "I’m here to stay" (with another glass of rioja, please). #AtlantaEats #SpanishTapas #PaellaGoals #AtlantaFoodie
