Sensi Tapas first opened its doors in 2006, and its tables are some of the most sought-after anywhere in Barcelona.
Their motto is come, bebe, la vida es breve (“eat, drink, life is short!”), and this charming locale in the Gothic Quarter is certainly a place where people live well.
Wow! Found this spot in a list of 23 best Tapas places to eat in Barcelona in 2023 and it was, in a word, AMAZING! The interior is so cute and the menu is by far one of the best I’ve ever seen for tapas. You’ll find all of your classics here but also a range of really well thought out flavour combinations bringing you something new. I live for their croquettes 🤤 oxtail! You have to try them! Be prepared to keep ordering more dishes, everything is delicious! Run don’t walk fam!

Really really amazing tapas, best tapas I had whilst in Barcelona. They had an incredible vegetarian selection including vegan chicken croquettes. I had a nice local wine which was absolutely gorgeous too. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Big recommend!! …
Amazing little tapas place. Was recommended by locals, definitely worth it!
We visited with 2 adults, 2 small kids, and everyone was super friendly, on point with service. The food was awesome. Tapas with a modern twist. We practically ordered everything because it was so good!
Whenever in Barca! Book a table here!
Kid-friendliness: Super friendly staff. Playing and smiling to our kids the entire time.

American tourists here. This seems to be a great tapas spot for tourists or anyone new to tapas. We appreciated that they had English menus and that most of the staff spoke English as we speak very basic Spanish. They were great about explaining the concept of tapas. There seemed to be a lot of other English-speaking tourists eating there as well. The murals and general atmosphere was fun. It is a small restaurant and the seating was a bit tight. We really enjoyed the food!
Love every single bit of the food here! Tapas are amazing (those baby sausages are to die for) and the seafood paella is yummy!! They have friendly and quite attentive staff, so you will not worry about anything. The place is quite busy, so make sure you book in advance if you’re in a big group
Absolutely top! super tasty and excellent quality tapas, everything we ordered from the menu was delicious! staff is very welcoming and friendly, food arrived fast, and the ambience is also nice, truly can’t complain about anything.
Would definitely recommend trying out.

Great local tapas place! I had table booked for 10PM and I was scared there would be nobody there but it was still busy. The down site booking table that late is kitchen closed after 11PM so I didn’t manage to order more. The restaurant is nice- we ordered different things to try. Patatas bravas were very hot but yummy! The best dishes we had there was mini paella 🥘 and stake with sweet potato mash! Amazing 🤩 Restaurant staff were very friendly they lighten the candle on the table 3 times for us when I asked to keep our romantic vibe. Also they helped with wine choice. It was a nice Spanish music in the restaurant too. Highly recommended. Thank you 🙏💫
For some reason my wife and I had never eaten at this Sensi and we’re so happy we finally did! What an awesome experience – the space is cozy and very well done, the servers and staff are all nice and the food was beautifully prepared and delicious! We had the Vegan “roasted chicken” croquettes w/ vegan spicy mayo (you’d never know it’s vegan); Shrimps “Indian” style w/ tamarind sauce, mango and sticky rice; Zucchini cannelloni with cauliflower couscous, goat cheese & turmeric sauce, and the Fresh truffle ravi in parmesan cream and truffle oil. We already made another reservation. Go!
