Additional Information

Embark on a 3-hour culinary journey through the city’s vintage yet lively performing arts neighborhood, visiting three distinct venues. Although Poble Sec is located in the heart of the city, it seems a world away from the tourist masses. The cuisine is remarkable, showcasing a creative take on several traditional dishes.
This is not a big historic…

Rda. de Sant Pau, 1
Ronda de Sant Pau
IMPORTANT: Go to the "font farola" located in Poble Sec (there are others elsewhere in town)! We meet on the corner of Avinguda del Paral·lel & Ronda de Sant Pau. Here you will find one of the city's old "font farolas" - an old fountain/streetlamp, beside a hotel and ATM. Don't be late! : )

Excellent Tapa & Excellent Guide - We had a lovely tapa tour with Lorea in the Poble-Sec area in Barcelona. The food was delicious (she kept in mind that I don't eat seafood, so if you have any serious food dislikes or allergies just let them know) Lorea was also very lively and fun, and the others in our tour were also interesting travelers and fun to chat with while we ate. The wines we tried were also delicious, and there was a good variety of different types of food. I would highly recommend the Barcelona Taste if you are in Barcelona and love to eat. It was a good value for the money, as well.

Incredible experience - Such an incredible experience from start to finish. Our guide Lorea was warm, friendly and knowledgeable both about food and the history of Spain and the areas in Barcelona we visited. Each restaurant we visited was unique and definitely one we would never have known about without her. She ordered traditional dishes and was sensitive to some food preferences. The pace was perfect. This was a spectacular evening from start to finish. If you do one tour in Barcelona do this one. One hint it’s a lot of food come hungry.

Best food tour ever! - I highly recommend this tour! I felt like I had made a new friend in Barcelona and we were out enjoying a lovely evening restaurant hopping. The guide was not just an expert on the local tap scene, but also gave us a lot of cool information about the neighborhoods. We were walking through. She was flexible with our time and menu choices. Again, I highly recommend this tour, especially if you want a small intimate experience with a real local.

Wonder evening of Tapas and great fellowship. - Lorea was a fantastic host. She did a wonderful job of quickly recognizing the types of foods and the amount of food to order. Wow. Just wow does not fully describe this tour. It is very personal, with a wide variety of foods with full explanation of the history. I wish I could put into words how wonderful this event was. I provide the highest recommendation to this event. Great job!!!

Wonderful Food Tour for Adults and Teens - We took the Poble Sec tour with four adults and four teenagers. Esther was our guide and the tour was not only delicious but so much fun! We got a wonderful taste of Spanish culture, great conversation and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Our teenagers had a great time too! Thank you, Esther!
