Pleasantly surprised I went to visit my cousin who's studying in Leicester, I was extremely surprised at the quality of food in restaurant. My wife's Spanish so I know a little about Spanish cuisine, the food was super authentic. The crocequettes were incredible. The only difference I could find is gambas pil pil doesn't have tomatoe in spain, but we ordered gambas in garlic olive and chilli. So of the names don't match up but I think it's because the chefs south american, so things maybe different there. The front of house was attentive enough but not too attentive , which was just right. I belive his name was shaun, he looked from an indian background. If management see this give this man a raise or a healthy tip, amazing chap! Price wise compared to London was incredible value, its hard finding tapas that's responsibly priced in the UK, but this place successfully achieved this. My only gripe is some of the dishes should come with bread. We spent £14 on bread alone, which was a bit silly , some maybe if the management could include this with some of the dishes that would be great.

Not been for a while since been closed and new ownership and have to say its a game of two half's. The restaurant side is still as good as ever, the food and atmosphere are amazing and the staff are great and really happy the new owner hasn't changed that. The cocktail bar however is a different story, drinks are still great but the atmosphere has been ruined by the really bright lights on (feels like your in your nans house) and the big screen showing American wrestling at 10 o'clock on a Saturday night, it used to be nicely lit nice and low and feel like you wanted to mingle, now you are just squinting thinking why is wrestling on in a authentic Spanish cocktail bar? Really hope this gets sorted or it will spoil what has always been one of the best places in Leicester for a night out. Food and restaurant 10 out of 10 bar 6 out 10

Visited Barceloneta for the first time this week. We started off with a couple of drinks from their sister bar next door and i must say that £10 for two cocktails this good in quality is nothing but a bargain. The bartenders were very friendly and knowledgeable and were able to recommend drinks they knew we would love. We then headed to the restaurant and were greeted by a very friendly waiter who took us upstairs. The seafood paella, beef meatballs, goats cheese balls and chicken and chorizo kebab were divine and took our tastebuds right back to Spain. Overall, great experience, hands down to Roberto for a great service, we will be visiting again soon!

We had an exceptional dining experience at Barceloneta The food was absolutely amazing, with a great variety of authentic Spanish dishes that transported me straight back to Spain. Each dish was bursting with flavor, from the perfectly cooked paella to the delicious tapas. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Claudiu the chefs recommendations were spot on, and all the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. We highly recommend Barceloneta anyone looking to enjoy genuine Spanish cuisine with great service. We will definitely be returning!

I consider myself a foodie, and this bar and restaurant exceeded my expectations. The menu showcases a perfect blend of traditional and modern cuisine, prepared with the finest ingredients. Every dish I tried was bursting with flavors and beautifully presented. The bar boasts an extensive selection of spirits, and the bartenders are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their craft. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively, making it an ideal place to gather with friends or enjoy a romantic evening. This establishment sets the bar high when it comes to quality, and I can't wait to return.

Food was delicious, we ordered 7 dishes which was more than enough for 2 people. However, the wine was warm and tasteless and the service was awful. We had to wait half an hour for a plates to be cleared away and we had to ask for the desserts menu. Not attentive at all, also the table we were given was in the way of the walkway so felt in the way with other customers walking and waiting around our table. The tables need removing as overheard some customer not wanting to sit on certain tables which I agree about and need more waiting staff ASAP.
