Vermuteria la Raspa — Restaurant in Barcelona

My wife and I stopped here for tapas on our way to another restaurant the other night. We were so happy with the quality of service and food that we decided to come back for our entire evening. The entire experience was fantastic, from the manager bringing fresh fish to our table to choose which we wanted for dinner, to the perfectly cooked prawns, and excellent deserts. The vermouth is the best I have had in BCN, and I’ve had at least a dozen of the top recommendations. Prices are very reasonable for the quality of service and food. Our tapas, main course, deserts, and 3 glasses of wine and two glasses of vermouth was 89€. Considering we have paid more for less during our time in the city I believe this is excellent. We recommend the Galician octopus and bravas on the tapas menu. Other than that anything seafood is fantastic, the fresh prawns and sea bass was 10/10. Skip the tourists and crowds in the gothic...

If you're a seafood lover, if you love fish cooked in many tasty ways, this is a place to return to. This is why I came back her after one year, while visiting family in Barcelona. Fish soup was first on my order list, and then we had a large white fish for two, made to perfection, on the grill, it was so properly made that consumed even the head of the fish, eyes included... you might not like this if you're not a fish gourmand... good wine, good side dishes and we nearly waked out from the restaurant. Excellent service, decent prices... what else...

I visited this place with my parents on a weekday for lunch. Instead of going for the 'menu de dia' we decided to share a few starters and a full fish between the 3 of us. Quality of the starters was really good and the same goes for the fish cooked in the oven and covered with salt. Service was quick, attentive and friendly. The only reason to maybe give 4 and not 5 is the price. I wouldn't say it is expensive but it is not cheap either,...
