"A superb tapas emporium."

"BEST Tapas in Barcelona 2019 – Bar Canete! - While We can give you a hot top five places on where to get your nibble on, there is one place that takes the cake, and it is the infamous Cañete Tapas Restaurant in the sexy El Raval section of the city. Bold flavors wrapped in delicate packages come flooding to your table almost like an avalanche, each dish more audacious then the next."

"When it comes to good taste, you can’t do better than Bar Cañete! With waiters dressed to the nines, and the chefs working wonders before your eyes, Bar Cañete is more than anything an experience! It also helps that their classic Spanish and Catalan tapas are top-notch delicious, too!"

"Bar Cañete: The Best Tapas in Barcelona - Our favourite restaurant in Barcelona, Bar Caňete embodies the essence of a true Spanish tapas bar: it's always packed, has great energy, and everything happens at the bar. Like so many of Barcelona’s best restaurants, this traditional yet trendy tapas destination entered the world as a small family-run affair, but over the years has garnered a strong reputation among local gourmands and in-the-know travellers in search of top quality Spanish cuisine."

"The various tapas were fantastic to share, the waitstaff engaging, and the tapas beautifully presented. Over the course of this convivial meal, we enjoyed toasted flatbread with tomato, ham croquette, cod fritter, bellota cured ham (incredible!), green beans parmesan and pine nut salad, Cañete-style shrimp in garlic, octopus with tomato (I declined the treat, but the others enjoyed), and roasted veal with vegetables (also declined with thanks)."

Tara Jessop

"The tapas here are mostly classic Spanish but executed with a level of attention to detail and quality products you’d be hard- pressed to find in other places."
