El Tinto Bodega - Tapas Bar in Berlin

Small but nice, we have been going here for years, the food is a dream, keep it up

Food is delicious, spices / dressing is exactly the right amount which emphasise taste perfectly. Prices are fair. Ambience is like you’re in a local place in Spain. Had a scallops (Jakobsmuscheln) - consistency and sauce are great. And razor clams (Siliqua patula, molluscs) - just delightful. Texture, herbs and greens on top.

Amazing tapas, great selection of Spanish drinks (wine, beer), fantastic and super friendly service and great vibes. Highly recommended. I’d also recommend a reservation as it is usually busy

Authentic and reasonably priced. The sangria was so good that we found a hotel room nearby.

I haven’t been here for a while but wish to go back asap. I believe it’s the best spanish tapas bar in Berlin! I’ve tried most of their food over the time and still can’t get their gazpacho out of my head. I love its vibe too, and it happens to be in a very cute area. Recommended!

Super delicious tapas, very friendly service, I can only recommend

If you're looking for a small, quaint tapas bar, this is the place to be. Delicious tapas, great aioli, and the wine is delicious, too. :)

It is necessary to book in advance

Wonderful little, really little, tapas bar. Excellent food with top-notch service. Great value for money. Be sure to reserve a table in advance!

The staff was friendly. The tapas selection was smaller than expected, but they were delicious and very reasonably priced.

Best restaurant in Köpenick ❤️ please pleaaaase try the Ziegenkäse, it will absolutely change your life

Extremely delicious food, great service, and a great atmosphere in the restaurant! I'll be back often! It's best to reserve to guarantee a table :) A gem in the old town of Köpenick.

A little Spanish corner in Köpenick's old town, it impresses with delicious food and short wait times. The interior is rather cramped, but this enhances the ambiance more than it detracts.

I feel sorry for everyone else. But after almost six years in Berlin and searching for the best tapas, this one takes the prize. I've been there a couple of times now and it always blows my mind, I love it, and I'm blown away. A good wine selection if you want to go crazy, but the table wine is great too. It's very, very close to the concept of "tapas" in Spain, not only in the size of the portions, but also the flavor is authentic. The olive oil, the ham, "fried sin," wow, they even have razor clams. For me, their signature dish is the scallops with saffron. A respectable tortilla and good liqueurs. I have to try the posters... It's far away if you live in the city center, but it's worth it. Book a table!

Tasty food and great service, located in the beautiful Alt-Stadt Köpenick. They have a pretty cozy atmosphere, but small space. We went for the first time without reservation and it worked really well, but I would make a reservation next time.

Friends of ours were there and wanted to eat paella, but were supposed to leave the restaurant after 2 hours. There was no paella... It wouldn't even work if it was supposed to be freshly prepared in that time. It takes at least 35-45 minutes, and then you have to force the food down... No thanks.

Everything is prepared with love. Colombian moms (who really know how to cook) work in the kitchen. It tastes absolutely delicious. I've tried the entire menu. Everything is top-notch. And I'm a real princess when it comes to food 😅

It’s better to come early as it gets super busy really quick. The tables are quite small (outside), I would not go there with a big group of people. Not sure if they have tables indoors; there are steps to get inside though, definitely not accessible for wheelchair. Tapas were amazing, we could find vegetarian options without problems, unfortunately not enough vegans. Desserts are also recommended! Nice selection of wine as well. Highly recommended for a nice date!

Cute restaurant, tranquil setting, attentive staff, and delicious food for every appetite. It won't be the last time I'm there...

I haven't had such good tapas in a long time!!! The service was excellent, very courteous and attentive. The food arrived relatively quickly and was delicious. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the scallops were cooked in point, and so on. Highly recommended 🚀

Beste Restaurant in Berlin. Food it’s so so good. Better make reservation. It’s always busy. Place it’s small - and that make this cute atmosphere there.

Great, rustic location, great service, and fantastic food! Still, it's deducting one star. I don't know if this is a trend these days, but being only allowed to stay for two hours each time and then being politely asked to leave quickly is just not customer-friendly to me. The customer should be the king. You want to sit in peace and enjoy yourself, chat, and unwind. It's a real shame, but the next time I meet my girlfriend, we'll be going somewhere else.

Very good tapas, great atmosphere, friendly service. Reservations are essential.

Great tapas bar with a beautiful ambiance! The food was incredibly delicious and the service super friendly – ​​we felt completely at home. We'd love to come back!

A gastronomic gem with an unassuming exterior: if you want to enjoy delicious Spanish tapas in your own country, this is the place to be. The service is fast and friendly, and the space, while very limited, is cozy. Therefore, reservations are highly recommended. And then: dig into the tapas menu once, and all the culinary memories of your visit to Spain will return. One thing's for sure: We'll be back and try the mussels. We're looking forward to it!

Yesterday in Zurich, I ate tapas at a 100-year-old Spanish restaurant—bad and uncaring service. Today, however, I had very good tapas, brandy from a warmed glass...

Wonderful! Small but perfectly formed. Extremely cozy and very friendly and cheerful!

A romantically decorated tapas bar with a selection of typical and delicious tapas. There are also some outdoor seating options. Since El Tinto is very small and usually busy, reservations are recommended. Highly recommended!

A lovely little gem. Delicious food, very friendly service, and an authentic atmosphere. Make sure you make a reservation.

A nice but small restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food is of excellent quality.

Authentic cuisine, attentive service. Very good!

Delicious omelet and meatballs. Thank you for taking Spanish cuisine to the next level!

Super delicious food, very friendly service, you have to make a reservation as it is always very busy, small, cozy space that still offers a great atmosphere

Scallops were old and fishy. Beer and wine were good.

Our favorite spot for Tapas in town!

Definitely recommended. One of the best Spaniards in Berlin. Small! Fine! Super delicious!!

Great tapas, nice service, nice ambience. You can't go wrong for a nice evening.

Great restaurant, everything is perfect and a great Spanish experience. Thank you for everything and every month.

Simply incredibly delicious and fantastic 😊

Simply fantastic! Great, authentic food and drink, cozy atmosphere in a restaurant that is inconspicuous from the outside. Fair prices - reservation recommended!

We've eaten much better tapas and, above all, cheaper. But well, you always pay for the location somehow. We wouldn't go there again.

We discovered the small tapas bar by chance. It's very inconspicuous from the outside. A small and rustic tapas bar awaits you inside. Typical dishes await you on the menu. The tapas were all very tasty. The house wine is highly recommended. Overall it was a very nice evening.

I live in biesdorf, A neighborhood nearby, Where there aren’t any interesting options to eat. My neighbor recommended me this place and I Was so glad I discovered it. The atmosphere is very typical Spanish, The food is very tasty, The wine is really good, And the price is OK too. Will definitely be back! And with a small walk, you get to see the Spree :)

Quaint little tapas bar in the basement in the old town of Köpenick. Quality tapas, fast and friendly service. You sit on bar stools/at high tables - you have to like it, it worked for me.

If someone is looking for a rustic place, then this is the place for them. You sit close together and are inevitably involved in conversations with your neighbors. But it's worth it. The food is great, comes quickly, the atmosphere is friendly...but you should definitely make a reservation...

A small but cute restaurant in the middle of the old town. A little hidden, in the basement. Great service, nice wine selection and very tasty tapas. Great to try out. I also find the price/performance ratio to be completely acceptable. I would love to come back.

I can't judge how the food tastes. Even though we had reserved, we only got the table for 1.5 hours. This made us feel rushed and just had a drink. I'm happy to spend money on hospitality and good food. But with time constraints, you don't feel welcome.

Very good meal, we'll be back! Highly recommended

Delicious tapas, but very few vegetarian. There used to be more meat-free foods. The service was sometimes unfriendly and criticized the chair configuration - which they had created themselves - and blamed it on the guests. Very nice, albeit cramped, atmosphere

Amazing food! A little secret gem hidden in Kopenick.

It's a great place! It's nice to have you in Köpenick! The food is really very good and the staff is very nice! The store is ALWAYS very full and you sometimes have to wait 5 minutes for your coke, but I think that's okay. Keep it up and it's great that you exist! 🫶🏻

my complain is that is always a bit too hot inside. but the food is great.Housewine like in Spain. Service is great usually dishes get served relatively fast. Always reserve by phone, usually is quite full Thu-Fri-Sat

Super nice little bar, lovely staff and delicious food. Attention, it's best to make a reservation. It's always full.

The food is excellent. Small but nice card. The service is great.

- Food super tasty - small cute tapas restaurant - Staff are great and try to serve quickly and be friendly, especially when the restaurant is full - Aioli is recommended and the potatoes and the olives and the cheese and and... One negative point, it's super super tight inside. Pre-booking is highly recommended. Definitely go... highly recommended. A great time outside, even on warm days

Excellent food, staff very nice and attentive. Very comfortable. Always my pleasure.

Simply great. Delicious food in a rustic environment. The fried anchovies are amazing. We'll definitely be back. All I can say is THANK YOU

Food, especially the service, coziness everything 10/10.

Small, cozy restaurant in the "cellar", but very cozy with super nice staff. Be sure to make a reservation on the weekend as there is really little space or sit outside on the street on beer tent sets! Rustic interior with wooden tables and chairs. Typical Spanish tapas in small or sometimes large portions possible. Nice selection of wines. The food was very tasty, but with a few minor flaws... Chicken on the bone was a surprise to us, just like the prawns with the shell on, which we hadn't had before at the Spaniard. Basically doable, but the napkins are just far too thin to get your hands halfway clean. Also that there are no knives for eating...we asked but unfortunately only 2 pieces? receive. P.S. The allioli is awesome! Conclusion: I can definitely recommend the food and drinks are good and the staff is super nice and on the ball.

Lovely cozy place. Food and drinks are amazing - the service is very friendly. Reservations are mandatory, it's small and really busy.

We had a wonderful evening, thank you very much! Small and cozy.

Super cozy, delicious tapas and good house wine: what more could you want for an evening with friends? We always like to come. Reservations are absolutely necessary! Ps. Some more veggie options would be great.

After reading your reviews, we can only add: On two evenings we ate better than in Spain. This Tappas Bar is also worth the long journey. Be sure to reserve, then just enjoy.

Ein sehr liebevoll geführtes, kleines Lokal mit tollen Speisen. Der Service ist großartig, das Essen schmeckt mega. Jederzeit wieder! Vielen Dank!

Very cozy, a lovely team and good food.

This is a place that deserves 5+ stars. I loved the food and service. I highly recommend going here. Reservation is much recommended.

Great food, excellent wines, very nice staff and very good value for money. Definitely recommended.

Wonderful place! A real Spanish tapas bar in Berlin. Great food, and atmosphere - very unique.

Super tasty tapas shop with nice service and delicious food :-)

My new favorite restaurant, everything was great there! The food was delicious and there was also something for vegetarians. The staff was really nice and the atmosphere was great. Really great!

A very cozy, small tapas restaurant! The food is very authentic and the prices are more than reasonable given the portion sizes! The Perfect Allioli was also served with slightly warm bread. And the dessert is amazing!! We'll be back!

Best tapas in Berlin with excellent service. Thank you very much!

Great tapas bar! Everything's great until next time. Sangria was a little boring.

El Tinto is a real insider tip for tapas lovers! The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is friendly and the food is simply delicious. The selection of tapas is great and the quality of the ingredients is convincing. I'm always happy to come back!"

For me, El Tinto is one of the best tapas bars in Berlin. Unfortunately there are only a few places available, so you should reserve by phone in advance. The selection isn't huge, but it's tasty. The tables are close together due to the limited space, but that just makes it more likeable for me. I will come again.

Very tasty 😋 great service and very nice atmosphere. Always my pleasure!!!

Ich fühl mich bei El Tinto immer sauwohl 😁😁. Die Bedienung ist zum Knuddeln liebenswert, Essen und Wein sehr lecker. Macht Spaß, dort einen Abend zu verbringen. DANKE 🫶, Birgit

El Tinto is such a hidden gem in Köpenick!! The food, the house wine, the friendly service, the Spanish vibe; they are just perfect!! Pro trip: always call or visit them to make reservations, as it can be (and always) full. We’ve been many many times actually and we never get disappointed, that’s how good they are!! If you happen to be in the area, this one is a must visit.

Super cozy tapas restaurant. We regularly go to El Tinto to enjoy the delicious Spanish tapas with a glass of wine or cold Spanish beer. We have tried many tapas shops in Berlin and this place remains our favorite. The price-performance ratio is right and everything is really tasty. The staff is very friendly and in most cases everything goes smoothly. El Tinto is very cozy inside and in summer there is seating on the terrace in front of the restaurant facing Kirchstrasse. It is also very busy during the week and it is worth making a reservation in advance.

It's a very small but nice bar. And the staff goes out of their way to ensure you have a nice evening Ps: (I recommend a reservation)

A Spanish oasis of well-being in Köpenick's old town. Great food and courteous service. Always my pleasure

Very nice… flexible, uncomplicated, nice, really good tapas!!!

A great tapas bar that is always fully booked for a reason. Great food, friendly service, great atmosphere. It wasn't the first time there and it won't be the last time either. 👍

All dishes are perfect and very tasty, and the staff is nice and friendly! Authentic atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in Spain. We'll definitely be back!

The tapas were really delicious and the service was also great. A really nice little shop. Be sure to reserve.

Only recommended! Classic tapas, all were delicious!

Everything here fits small, cozy, good atmosphere and getting a seat without a reservation is difficult. We've been there three times now and it's always good. Our second home is in Berlin, so we don't come here that often, otherwise it could become our regular place.

Super delicious food. Friendly service and so beautifully located in Köpenick's old town :) I'll be happy to come back.

Very tasty tapas at good prices and a very nice service! I'd love to go there again! 😊

From the service to the food to the ambience, everything was perfect. Super friendly, attentive service, the food was incredibly tasty and fresh. Been here for the first time, would love to come back. Thank you.

We've been enjoying coming here for years, the food is so wonderfully delicious, wonderfully uncomplicated and typically Spanish. Our favorite restaurant in Köpenick and our 1st date bar ❤️☺️ Reservations recommended on weekends!

Very nice little bodega. The tapas are a hit.

Highly recommended for feeling good, the food, service and atmosphere are really good. The lamb chops and the open Rioja are my favorites.

People ! If you want to eat delicious tapas and are nearby then go! Assuming there is still a place for you. Nice little tapas bar with everything your heart desires Come by and try it out, we'll definitely be back

We had a lovely evening with really delicious tapas! We recommend!

Nice little restaurant with very tasty food. Reservations are almost mandatory because it is almost always full

Very tasty tapas, very friendly and nice service. We spent a wonderful, relaxing evening sharing tapas. For two people we shared the cheese plate, green peppers and bacon-wrapped dates with 1/2 sangria. It was extremely tasty and sociable. We'd love to come back! Value for money is very reasonable.

Very good Spanish food. Very friendly staff, always accommodating. TIP: Please reserve in advance as it is always very crowded.

El Tinto has a lot of tapas offers on the menu, and we, two mature adult couples, tasted eight different types and the food quality was comparable with many mainland Spanish restaurants. The Ipsis white wine was popular among my companions, and I got Spanish beer. We were sitting outside to the street side on benches after having made a reservation in advance, which is advisable due to the limited number of seats. The inside room in the basement seemed really small, and we were glad that we were outside. Food is served with small forks only, which are inadequate for enjoying chicken and rabbit. When I asked for knives, we got two small ones - the ones the restaurant had. The waitress made a very good job and was helpful and attentive.
