"Sensi Tapas had great atmosphere and service! As soon as we walked in we were greeted with warmth and kindness, everything was explained clearly and overall the service was excellent. The highlight dishes were the beef tenderloin, Iberian ham, tuna tartare and cheesecake. The cocktails were amazing too. We also had the truffle pasta, it had a lovely (albeit overwhelming) smell so we thought the taste was going to be strong, however when eating it, it didn’t have much of a taste so the dish could be slightly improved. Overall was a nice experience and I would eat here again for the dishes that I really enjoyed."

"This place was highly recommended, and I'm so happy we came. The quality of each dish was incredible and unforgettable. The staff was helpful, kind, and accommodating. I would definitely return one more time while I'm in Barcelona. Stand outs: shrimp croquettes, beef tenderloin, truffle ravioli They also have excellent cocktails if you don't want anymore cava hahah."

"The menu in this tapas place is shorter than some, but the quality outshines most. For example, the octopus wasn't the usual small tentacles, but big juicy steaks served over a fragrant potato veggie mousse of some kind, I'd guess celery, very complimentary. The white beans with sausage really hit the spot, just the right Mediterranean style with a hint of fennel, while the beans were savory, seemed cooked in a broth. The tuna tartare was somewhere between savory Hawaiian poke, tangy ceviche, and a definitive Spanish touch of rosemary and maybe pine nuts? (served with a flaming twig of rosemary, woohoo). And so on. Service is kind and tourist friendly, the tables are small, the vibe is busy hive. Good work!"

"Had a great time at Sensi Tapas. The ingredients were fresh and good quality, and the food was nicely presented. The seasoning was a bit on the mild side, but still tasty overall. The staff were friendly and the service was great. Cozy place with a nice vibe!"

"Top experience to end our girls-weekend in Barcelona. Very cosy restaurant, nice to sit. We were served by Rodrigo, who is amazing. He helped us choosing, let us taste the wine before filling the glass, even though we only took a glass and not the whole bottle. The food was superb, nothing to say about that! This place gives a whole new meaning to tapas. Just one small note of criticism, to our opinion tapas came to fast after each other. But other than that everything was excellent."

"I was solo in the city and wanted a nice place to grab a bite, was perfect to sit at the bar and enjoy! Food was great, as well as the drinks, the bar tender / server was very friendly. Would recommend for groups as well!"

"The food was great and I loved the interior. Came here with 10 colleagues and they provided 4 prefix menu options to select from. The service was amazing and there wasn’t a bad dish we were served. To end the 5 course service was a 10/10 cheesecake that is now in my top 5 favorites of all time. Very complex and layered, but extremely delicious. I would come back again!"
