We sat inside at this cozy little place and enjoyed a very tasty meal of elevated tapas. It was a welcome departure from the standard versions. The service was friendly and attentive. Truly a great find!

Visited Barcelona for the Primavera Sound festival. Hotel was right by this place & so glad it was. Exceptional food & drink at reasonable prices & very friendly welcoming service. Great selection on the menu. Can sit outside or there is a large inside. Well worth a visit for authentic tapas away from the overcrowding of the las ramblas areas.
Recommended dishes: Croquettes, Mixed Seasonal Mushroom Croquettes with Truffle Oil and Parmesan Cream, Pulled Pork Tacos

No se puede reservar pero tuvimos la suerte de encontrar una mesa a las 22.15 de sábado. He podido probar solo patatas fritas, ensalada invidia y pan con tomate porque mi amiga es vegetariana. Me gustaría probar más cosas. Seguramente volveré. Lo que he probado estaba muy rico y precio onestos.

Fui por primera vez hoy y volveré. Ya me lo habían recomendado mucho… Muy bonito y acogedor, muy buena atención, muy rica la comida, pero lo mejor fue el mojito! 🍹🤤🤩 Soy mojitolover y este ha sido el mejor mojito que me he tomado en años! Y el barman muy atento, amable y profesional, se nota que sabe lo que hace, y también sabe complacer al cliente. 👌🏼💯

Food was delicious. This was our first Tapas bar in Barcelona & we felt so welcomed by the waiter and staff. Each dish was delightful though the almonds were not my favourite. A bit dull compared to everything else. We were the last to leave and they gave us complimentary Limoncello shots!
Good spot to eat for sure.
Amazing food! Everything we tried based on Amy and Heather’s recommendations was amazing! My favorites were the aubergine and the shrimps ❤️ Will be back!

AYOO 🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥. This food blew my mind. Get the eggplant tempura (aubergine) that was the best thing I’ve tasted in all of Barcelona. Get the drunken prawns. Those are transcendent. I went somewhere else when I tried those. We also got the pan con tomate (very good even tho you make it your self). We came for the Jamon and the Jamon is top quality. I’m coming back tomorrow. Thanks GIGI!!! 🎉🎉🔥🔥🏆🏆👍👍👍
Super buen sitio! Nos atendió Helen que es súper agradable. Muy recomendable!

Great tapas, fab brunch, was staying around the corner from the beautiful old bull ring. Hip atmosphere. Staff were great, impeccable service. We shared a a variety of different eggs dishes, eggs Benedict, poached eggs and English breakfast with scrambled eggs. Great orange juice, smoothies and coffee too. Will be back.
Top tip! Great tapas, great atmosphere, great drinks, great service. Go there!
An exquisite tapas experience! This place exudes elegance with its upscale decor. The tapas are a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and creativity. Each dish is a delightful journey for the taste buds. The variety is impressive, from classics like patatas bravas to unique creations. The quality of ingredients is top-notch. The service matches the sophistication, attentive yet unobtrusive. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but worth every penny for a special night out. Highly recommended for those seeking a memorable gastronomic adventure in a refined ambiance.

Estuve con una amiga bebiendo unas copas en la barra! Lo pasamos genial y la verdad que el chico de la barra (Mateo) estuvo súper atento! Volveremos seguro y lo vamos a recomendar a nuestros conocidos.
Great breakfast menu, highly recommend the Mediterranean toast, lovely service from Heather, we will be back!
I was amazed right from the first look at the menu. The variety of it, there were so many great options it was hard for us to decide what we *don’t* order 😄
And the food.. It felt like no matter what you take, you can’t miss. First to last, everything was fresh and delicious. These guys know what they’re doing ✌🏼
Visitar este lugar fue un absoluto deleite! El ambiente es realmente especial y hermoso, creando el escenario perfecto para una maravillosa experiencia gastronómica. La comida era excelente y cada platillo que he probado fue una verdadera delicia.
Lo que hizo la experiencia aún más agradable fue el excepcional servicio brindado por todas las camareras. Fueron increíblemente amables y atentas, ya sea de día o de noche.
Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar a todos. La combinación de un servicio excepcional, comida deliciosa y una ubicación fantástica lo convierten en un lugar que hay que visitar. No es solo un restaurante; es una experiencia inolvidable.
Me encantan su especialidad de patatas a la gigi… lastima que solo las sirven de tardes, pero son fantásticas y buenas!!!!
Food was A-MAZING!
Everything we had was super tasty, nice drinks, staff was very friendly, interior was cool, nicely stocked bar if you’re into cocktails, price – worth every penny!
Definitely check this place out if you’re in town 😉
Tucked away on the blossoming boulevard of Carrer de la Marina, overlooking the ornate Museo Taurino de la Monumental and within strolling distance from La Sagrada Familia, GiGi Von Tapas is another gift from the trailblazing team behind Marmalade, Milk and Firebug.
Known for their hearty all-day feasts, stellar cocktails and refreshingly attentive staff, they stand for everything that makes life so great in a city where every day feels like Sunday.
And the good news is that now, 15 years after opening what was arguably the first proper brunch haunt in Barcelona, they have opened yet another haven of homely goodness that has something to offer at any time of day.
GiGi’s is an ode to the joys of classic Spanish dining, of sharing the finer things in life around a table, but with a more colourful and creative range of dishes that you won’t find elsewhere.
Nos encantó!!! Está súper bien situado, el espacio es muy agradable y bien decorado.
La chica que nos atendió fue un encanto!
Tanto la comida como la bebida estaban perfectas! Muy bueno todo! Recomiendo 100%
Short walk from La Sagrada Familia but didn’t feel touristy. The tapas were amazing and came out quickly. The cocktails and wine were great as well. The atmosphere had a cool vibe
Awesome experience! Waitress was extremely fun and helpful. Food was great. Burrata was the best item hands down.
In its former incarnation, this locale was a restaurant beloved by bullfighting aficionados who would gather here before or after a corrida. In these more enlightened times (at least here in Catalonia), this venue has been reborn as a modern yet cosy brunch and tapas bar.
Although you can still enjoy vistas of the old bullfighting arena while relaxing on their street terrace, while nods to the restaurant’s history are still visible in the interior decor. Check out the bulls’ head-shaped baskets hanging on the wall!
Gigi Von Tapas is pretty near Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona. This bar is a great choice if you are in the mood for the Spanish cuisine.
Incredible test of everything that we ordered, we almost tried everything from the offered tapas and we were amazed by every dish that was brought to our table, drinks did not disappointed us at all, and the deserts at the end was literally a cherry on the top of the cake!
Very friendly service and really good vibes! Strongly recommended!
Arrive hungry because you’ll have to order at least 5 things from this delicious menu. If you are like me an have annoying vegan girlfriend then they will also be delighted by quote “the best gyozas” she’s ever had.
She also despises aubergine but the sticky aubergine were apparently incredible. I devoured the butter prawns and chicken wings as well as other dishes.
Staff were incredibly attentive and even told us about other vegan restaurants he’d recommend. Highly recommend this place, great location and atmosphere.
Probably the best restaurant we went to in Barcelona during our week stay. I’m vegetarian with food allergies and they were extremely accommodating and food and drink was delivered very quickly.
We ordered sangria, bread with tomato, tandoori spiced almonds, oven potatoes, mushroom croquettes, and 100g of iberian ham for the meat eater.
Everything was incredible! The meals everyone around us ordered also looked great. Would definitely come back here if I’m ever in Barcelona again.
The Irish-owned diminutive Milk bar in Barcelona’s Barri Gotic has been a congregation point for the city’s resident international set, and hipper tourists, for a number of years now, and it’s easy to see why.
Everythin…
