La barra -cava y más- in Köln

It was always a safe bet...If you didn't know where to go, the path always led us to La Barra. Apparently the owner has changed, the food has really deteriorated and our favorite cava was also out.

We have been going to La Barra for many years. We were there yesterday after the latest change in ownership. The food was terrible! That had nothing to do with the Spanish tapas that were otherwise available there. Really a shame!

Unfortunately very uncomfortable, some of the food was cold and not of such high quality, service could be improved

I should have read the current reviews then I would have been warned. Now I want to warn others! The food was so-so - except for the almost cold coffee - but the service was not good at all: rude, dishonest and unkempt! We felt very uncomfortable and it sounded the same at the next table. And of course only cash payment is possible, but this is not stated anywhere. The new owner definitely won't last long!

Unfortunately I have to completely withdraw my rating from 4 years ago. The restaurant is (as of January 2025) a complete disaster! After the change of ownership, operators are now trying to run a restaurant without any knowledge of Spanish cuisine. This doesn't work in any way. The food is convenience from the deep fryer, without any peculiarity. Even the bread looks like it has been baked without baking. The service is sometimes rude and not trying hard. When ordering, there is no indication of any missing dishes on the menu or of the payment option (cash only). The ambience is disgusting (TV and loud Modern Talking music) and doesn't do justice to a single real Spanish tapas restaurant in Cologne. This is currently the worst tapas shop in Cologne, please don't go there!

No real Spanish food anymore since the ownership changed

Absolutely underground! (What a shame that you have to award at least one point in order to write a review. I would have much preferred not to award a point.) You don't necessarily have to be of Spanish origin to run a good Spanish restaurant - but what the new operators of La Barra (presumably of Southeast European origin) offer their guests is hard to beat. This is by far the worst (pseudo-)Spanish I've ever eaten at! Below are just a few keywords so that everyone can decide for themselves whether a visit there is an option: The dining room was cold and not heated at all or only barely - and the temperatures outside were below zero; There was also the smell of old frying oil and grease in the air (that's what the clothes smelled like after visiting there). From an oversized television above the bar, Modern Talking and similar cheerful musicians contribute to the acoustic entertainment of the guests via YouTube clips. The service staff's unloving, cheerless and unprofessional demeanor fits in with the low temperatures in the guest room. To order, the numbers of the desired dishes must be written down on a piece of paper. (The service and/or kitchen probably doesn't understand Spanish.) You only find out that certain dishes on the menu are not available when the food is served - but not when you place the order. The food itself is almost a complete disaster: dried-out frozen prawns in garlic oil, squid rings (calamaris) fried way too thick in old and rancid oil, patata bravas (well) doused with ketchup and mayonnaise, etc. Oh yes, of course no card payment is possible because the device is (currently ;-)) defective. A rogue who thinks of anything else.

Ziet er op de foto's super uit, maar is in 1 woord vreselijk. Is net 1 week overgenomen door nieuwe eigenaren en die snappen er weinig van. Menukaart geeft duidelijk glutevrije opties aan, maar eenmaal daar begreep de ober er niets van en durfde wij het risico om hier te eten niet aan. Zelfs bij het aanwijzen van de drank op de kaart ging het mis. Orangina kregen we jus voor en de cava stond op de rekening als een dure rioja. We hadden een groot glas gekregen, daarom moesten we extra betalen. We hadden duidelijk aangewezen welk drankje we wilden en dan kun je als bedrijf niet zelf bepalen dat je een afwijkende inhoud schenkt, die overigens ook niet op de kaart stond. Na mopperen van de ober en wat gemompel dat we achterlijke hollanders zijn werd het wel op de rekening gecorrigeerd. Ivm de grote honger aten de mensen zonder gluten intolerantie een broodje aioli, die was wel erg lekker en dit was dan ook meteen het enige positieve. Overigens stond het restaurant tussen de hoge tafels helemaal volgestopt met (waarschijnlijk van het terras) tafels... ga hier dus niet heen, tenzij je lekkere aioli wilt eten ;)

Phew...it's really a shame about this restaurant. For me, La Barra was an "institution", delicious food, delicious cava, really nice ambience, suitable music and feel-good factor... once upon a time... Unfortunately there is NOTHING left of it, except apparently the name. The whole evening, unbearably loud YouTube videos with Modern Talking classics played on the oversized television above the bar. The food was ok but not outstanding. I would bet that the alioli wasn't freshly prepared...the baguette resembled discounter baked goods. Unfortunately not recommended at all.

Attention: Owner has changed. The worst Spanish restaurant I've ever been to. Everything was really bad - you have to sort that out first. The patatas bravas come as red and white fries.

Nice as always. Service was friendly but one more would have been good if the store was full. Unfortunately it all took longer... But we had a lot to talk about 😀

Has the owner perhaps changed? Many drinks, for example the delicious bottle of sangria, are no longer available even though they are still on the menu, as are other dishes that are no longer available on Friday evenings after 7 p.m. Our visit was an absolute disaster. At first there was no table available, even though it was reserved. Then the two waiters had no organizational plan at all, they didn't know who had ordered which food and drinks and ran around the restaurant like wild chickens. Then it was on to the bill. This was only correct in 3 of 12 positions. 9 times the wrong amount, or tapas that we didn't even eat on the bill. According to their invoice the bill was just under €90, after discussion and correction it was €65. Sorry, but I've never experienced such chaos We definitely won't eat there again.

Leider verfälschen die vielen guten (und damals auch gerechtfertigten) Bewertungen den momentanen Stand… Das La Barra war mal mit Abstand unser lieblings Tapas Laden mit herausragender Küche und freundlichem und aufmerksamen Service. Leider hat vor gut einem Monat der Besitzer gewechselt und seitdem hat sich der Laden massiv verschlechtert: Von authentischer spanischer Küche merkt man nicht mehr viel, die warmen Tapas waren kalt, zum Ausgleich dazu war das Bier warm, geschmacklich waren die Tapas schlicht langweilig und haben eher nach Convenience geschmeckt. Der Service hat ebenfalls nachgelassen. Nach neuen Getränken wurde nicht gefragt, obwohl die Gläser leer und insgesamt nur drei Tische belegt waren. Die Bestellung wurde nicht wirklich aufgenommen. Wir haben einen Notizblock hingeschmissen bekommen, auf den wir die Nummern unserer Bestellung schreiben sollten. Das Ambiente ist nun auch weit weg von gemütlich. Es ist viel zu hell geworden und an der Theke hängt nun ein großer Bildschirm, auf dem in Dauerschleife auf Youtube viel zu laute und unpassende Charts (oder was die automatische Playlist so hergibt - bei uns war es eine Modern Talking-Schleife) laufen. Schade, dass aus so einem tollen Laden sowas geworden ist.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the most recent reviews and rate the restaurant visit as unsatisfactory. After we sat down, the drink order wasn't taken until about 15 minutes later. The staff seemed overwhelmed by the number of guests. We had to write our order on a piece of paper. Overall, we were not impressed by the food and payment could only be made in cash.

It's a shame about a restaurant. We are regular customers of this restaurant and I have to update my good review from last time. Like other comments, we've noticed the overwhelming change in the space recently. The previous owners and chefs were, as far as we know from our frequent visits, Spanish and very friendly, so the food was authentically Spanish. We have visited almost all the tapas places in Cologne and can say that this WAS the best of all. Authentic food, perfect service with very friendly and professional waitresses. The place was always clean and welcoming, with great background music. However, at the end of our visit we were informed of the change by the new “managers”. And we're watching it too! Half of the dishes on the menu were no longer available. And the other half that existed was vile. It doesn't even come close to Spanish food: it's all cheap fried foods from the supermarket. The place is very dirty. The staff is unprofessional and has no idea about the concept of this place. They don't even know what cava is, which we love so much in this place. The one called “the boss” is a very rude older person who speaks very loudly in a language that no one understands. From his words I guess Romanian. In one corner of the place sat what we believe was a group of people “from the house” who were speaking very loudly in another language. They were very annoying, more like a pub than a cava and tapas bar. Two of the bar tables were filled with all the excess furniture, making it look like the place was being renovated or closed An unbearable smell of a dirty deep fryer mixed with the smell of sweat. The waiting time for the “food” is one hour. And one more detail, be careful: always look at the receipt very carefully, because you may be surprised to find that you are charged more than you spent. This happened to us. Conclusion: I don't recommend anyone to visit this place again because it is a total rip off. ⚠️ This is a crash and makes me very sad because it was my favorite meeting place with my friends. We will never go back there and I hope no one else does either.

Delicious dishes. Prices are completely ok. The Cava Rosat was again very tasty! Map and waiter was a bit confusing. Somehow there was a lot of tables. Ambience was nicer.

It's a shame that you can't give zero stars here. Bad service, long waiting time and bad food!

Unfortunately the service was exceptionally bad, our reservation was forgotten and we waited forever for the food. Most of the tapas were not freshly prepared, the baguette only comes from a discount store and the cheese is subpar. The price is okay but not for the quality.

Alles war schlecht Bedienung unfreundlich keine Interesse Warne tapas war kalt, Brot weich und kalt Mehrere Getränken nicht zu bekommen leider kommen wir nicht mehr

Unfortunately, we came back after two years with friends and a lot has changed, a gentleman who served was unfriendly and not interested in his guests, the food was not as we knew it, bread was soft and cold, warm tapas were cold . Drinks that were on the menu were no longer available Music was either so loud that we couldn't understand each other or the music was off. After a good hour we left, paying a lot of money for bad service and bad food! Unfortunately a big disappointment

The owner has changed. There is no Spanish chef and unfortunately no good tapas anymore. The ambience used to be cozy, now it is brightly lit, a huge TV hangs above the bar and plays videos on YouTube (colorful mixed charts). The patatas bravas are served with mayo and curry ketchup, the sparkling wine is drunk from seltzer glasses, etc... It's a shame, but unfortunately the food wasn't good and the atmosphere wasn't cozy or inviting at all.

A disaster in terms of taste. Ambience terrible. Lowest quality. Only the cold tapas were okay. Even one star is too many.

We had dinner here on Christmas Eve. There was only one other table occupied apart from us - but our order (drinks and food) was brought incorrectly. Unfortunately the food was not convincing, snack quality at restaurant prices. Apparently the restaurant had changed hands three days ago, which is why it was not possible to pay with a debit card. The good reviews are misleading after the change of ownership. Wouldn't go here again.

Unfortunately, the food was not at all convincing. The service was nice, but the wrong food was brought to us (even though there were only 2 guests in the shop). In addition, the music was so loud that you could hardly understand your own words. The bill was surprisingly quite high. You couldn't even pay with an EC card, only cash. Definitely NOT a recommendation.

Unfortunately, I have to significantly downgrade my rating from 5 years ago! Unfortunately the store is no longer what it was. The ambience is no longer inviting, there is absolutely inappropriate and very loud music, in between updates and message tones from the computer. Service was also rather poor… not particularly friendly, orders were not understood correctly, several times. In our opinion, the quality of tapas has also deteriorated considerably; we managed to get a hair out of the Albondigas. Suddenly you can only pay in cash, but there is no information about it. Very, very unfortunate.

Apparently the owner has changed. Complete chaos during and after orders. Waited in vain for over an hour for food...

Unfortunately it was very hectic and loud in the restaurant. When it's full it's a bit chaotic. But the waitresses are friendly. The food is okay, but pimientos without salt, for example, are not very Spanish.

Absolutely disappointing - not recommended! Our visit to this tapas shop was a complete disaster. The service was chaotic, haphazard and simply unprofessional. First we were served the wrong food, only to be asked by the waiter if the food he was holding was actually ours. How are we supposed to know what the food we ordered looks like? We also had to wait a whole 40 minutes for a bread basket with aioli - completely incomprehensible. The service was hectically running around the restaurant, constantly pointing at tables and shouting across the room - an unpleasant experience for every guest. When the food finally came, it was a disgrace: tiny portions, carelessly prepared and incomplete. Asking was necessary to get what should have been served from the start. We had no choice but to order less than originally planned - a decision that we don't regret in retrospect. The highlight: When we got the bill, we got the bill for another table, which was twice as expensive as our order. Once again we had to clarify what we had actually consumed. Conclusion: Overpriced food, chaotic service, poor organization. A complete grab in the toilet. We advise everyone to avoid this store.

El vino y la cerveza son buenos. Todo lo que es cocina preparada no lo es. El personal es amable y el lugar está bien, pero la comida no. Siento que esto sea un insulto a España.

Always worth a visit, the tapas are very good...

Immer wieder schön. Leckere Tapas, freundlicher Service, stimmiges Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis. Ordentliche Geräuschkulisse, aber das passt. Über viele Jahre das Niveau gehalten - top. Klar, Minuspunkt ist auf jeden Fall die ausschließliche Barzahlung. Geht gar nicht. Vor einer Woche war ich in Berlin. Da geht ausschließlich Kartenzahlung. Für Gäste aus dem Ausland kann dieses Bargeldgehabe echt Probleme machen. Deshalb der Abzug.

Always beautiful. Delicious tapas, friendly service, good value for money. Decent background noise, but that's fine. The standard has been maintained for many years - top. Of course, the negative point is that you only pay in cash. It doesn't work at all. A week ago I was in Berlin. Only card payment is possible. This cash handling can really cause problems for guests from abroad. Hence the deduction for service.

Fine tapas in the center of Cologne. A well-kept cava in nice surroundings and friendly service. Ingredients for a nice, cozy evening. Highly recommended

Good food, good service, a little more effort could be put into the decor, but it's ok. Unfortunately only cash payment at the moment.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Geburtstagsfeier in der Cava-Lounge mit sehr leckeren Tapas-Platten und Getränken (Bierfässchen, Cava-Sekt, Limos). Die Bedienung war aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Very tasty tapas, friendly and attentive service, very cozy and authentic, we would love to come back

Very good food, special staff, I recommend!

Best restaurant ever You feel extremely well served here… Thank you!!!❤️

I confidently recommend quality services

The location is beautiful, the food delicious and the staff very kind and attentive, I recommend!

Aussen unscheinbar, innen hervorragend. Ich hätte nicht vermutet, dass ich hier solch eine köstliche Auswahl an frischen Tappas bekomme, alle sehr lecker und appetitlich zubereitet, und dann noch diese Ajoli Creme einfach köstlich.

We were here again for the first time after the change of operator and can say: La Barra is still great and absolutely recommended!! All the dishes were top and super tasty! Tw slightly different than before, but even better. Many old classics have been complemented by great new options. Service was quick and friendly and was happy to answer any questions about preparations. All around great. We are happy and would love to come back again and again!!!

I'm in Cologne on business and was here for dinner with my colleagues yesterday. So service, food and location are simply great. There were 10 of us and therefore a wide variety of orders and everything not only looked delicious, it was also really tasty 😋 Kind regards to Ori (hope that's right) you're really amazing. Your kindness is second to none! Stay as you are ❤️ and all the best to you...

Delicious food, good choices. Gladly again

Everything was great, food, service, cava. But paying with a “Giro” card is rubbish when there are no or no functioning ATMs in the area in the 4th largest city in Germany and the shop simply lives in the past. 1 star for this customer-unfriendly and absolutely outdated policy. There was never any mention of Amex. Visa/Mastercard are cheap to bill and are now widely used.

Unbeatable, both the food and the service were excellent. I recommend it 100% 🥘❤️

The service was wonderful, especially with Oriana, who treated us very kindly. Totally recommended for the service

The food was excellent and very quick. The service was very good and the atmosphere was wonderful. We will come back.

Not like it used to be, unfortunately. The atmosphere is uncomfortable, the service is rather poor and the food is still quite good. We were there on a Saturday evening shortly before 9 p.m. and were informed that the kitchen was actually already “closed”. What we found worst was the uncomfortable atmosphere. The prices for the Rosat are now exaggerated. A price difference of >100% to take away if the bottle should be chilled - that's ridiculous. All in all, it's a shame - it used to be a good shop.

The service was attentive and friendly, and we also received good advice when we had questions. The food was very tasty and the price-performance ratio was also good. We will come back.

No flair like before, poor service, tapas very disappointing. We have known la Barra for a long time and have often been there before and always loved it. There was always great service and the food was great. Unfortunately, we were not aware that the owner had changed. We ordered our drinks, were asked if we would like some bread, until then everything was fine. After that nothing happened for half an hour, except that we saw one of the waiters smoking in front of the restaurant several times. That didn't make for a good impression either. Only when we asked the waitress if we could order did we continue and the expression on the waitress's face was annoyed. The food looked completely different than we knew it from the previous owner and the taste didn't even come close to the level of the previous owner. When paying, they said that the device was broken and that you should pay with cash if possible. When we then said that we didn't have any cash with us, the device inside still worked. We didn't tip. At Quandoo we were marked as no-shows. Overall, the evening there was very disappointing. We didn't want to talk about anything big on site. In the reviews we read during the meal, it was said that the owner had already freaked out on other guests. We really didn't feel like doing that. Unfortunately, la Barra as many people knew it from before no longer exists.

A very nice, cozy and clean tapas bar. The food was very good, freshly prepared and tasty.

Yes. I was here for the first time. The restaurant is very easy to reach by public transport as it is located directly on Barbarossaplatz. Reservations were made quickly and easily online. Service was friendly and attentive. The white wine was very good, the food was tasty and the price was right. I will definitely come here again.

It was very nice experience in center of Köln, refreshing drinks and friendly atmosphere. We got very nice introductions from the staff and she was very welcoming.

Nice tapas bar in a central location. Suitable for a nice evening with friends with Iberian snacks and delicious drinks.

Large selection of tapas. Friendly service. Easy to reach.

Rating this place is a challenge… the food was fine though some plates were better than others. The biggest issue is the service! We were told for our group a sharing big plate would be better as it could be cheaper and quicker than a la carte. Half of us ordered a la carte and the other shared plates. Yet the shared plates arrived much later than a la carte 😅 they also mentioned bread on the house but then tried to charge us. The worst part is when the one specific waiter was complaining about us and started to treat us very badly to the point when we confronted her she just screamed “shut up” that everyone else in the venue heard… no go for us!

Great tapas menu!! Price performance top. Quiet, relaxed atmosphere

I had a fun experience celebrating New Year 2020 at this location and was looking forward to another great evening there, a bit more than four years later. They now have a new owner and unfortunately this time, it ended in a great disappointment. Since we were a big group (>10 persons), one of the waitresses came and suggested us to share a set of tapas in small groups of 5 persons and told us that in that way, the service would be faster than if each one ordered individually. Myself and some of my friends accepted the offer, whereas others preferred to order only for themselves. It turned out that the ones who ordered individuallly were served faster, and that we had to wait roughly half an hour longer! When asking how long it would take to get our tapas, our waitress reacted defensively saying that there were many other guests, and so on. And after insisting a bit more and specifying that we wanted to pay the drinks on separate bills, the waitress became rude and began to argue. At a point we finally got our orders and at the end, as my friend was paying and we were about to leave, we had some other discussions with the staff and the owner suddenly threw her change on the table. What an unprofessional, disrespectful attitude. Even though I was satisfied with the food, I won't go back to that place because I can't accept anyone to be treated as badly as a guest. This experience shows how the service can improve - or in that case deteriorate after the owner changed. My second, and last time at Tapas Bar La Barra.

Very bad service. The family that now runs La Barra is not suitable for gastronomy. People are unfriendly and even rude to the guests (original sound: “shut up!”). Food is ok, but not better. Wirt complained when I paid with my debit card and banned all other friends from paying with cards. He has to pay 2% for Visa. Sorry, but card payment is standard and if I don't want to offer that, then I have to make it clear BEFORE placing the order that I don't offer this method of payment. From the beginning, the service complained that we were a large group, but the owners should be happy about sales! It was a very unpleasant experience - never again!

Great atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff and very, very fresh tapas!!! ALWAYS MY PLEASURE

Wir waren mit mehr als 13 Leuten im La Barra und hatten es als gute Location in Erinnerung. Leider hat zwischenzeitlich der Besitzer gewechselt. Von Anfang bis Ende waren Bedienstete und der Chef unfreundlich. Jeder von unserer Gruppe wurde mind. 1 x angeblafft oder gar beschimpft. Die Familie ist überfordert damit, wenn am Samstagabend das Lokal voll ist! Brot mit Aijoli wurden mit der Ankündigung serviert, es sei für uns, weil wir als größere Gruppe länger auf das Essen warten müssten. Am Ende war es doch auf der Rechnung. Das Essen war größtenteils ok. Die Meeresfrüchte leider aufgetaut und in der Mikrowelle erwärmt (außen heiß & innen kalt). Die Weißwein-Flasche wurde bei 24 Grad draußen ohne Eis serviert. Viele Gerichte waren sehr salzig. Abgeräumt wurde auch nach Aufforderung nicht. Eine Freundin wurde mit „shut up“ abgekanzelt, als sie dich zurecht beschwerte. Am Ende waren wir uns alle einig, wir gehen nie wieder hierhin!

Super tasty tapas, cozy atmosphere!

Absolut Perfekt Bedienung super freundlich Essen einfach mega Und der Sangria ist der Hammer Wir kommen definitiv wieder

Pleasant atmosphere, the food was "good", service was good. Prices are already slightly higher. Not overpriced in the sense but, as an example: not necessarily the best Rioja, 0.2 costs 7 euros. Tapas prices, there are no smaller tapas, for example meatballs two pieces about 5 euros, dates wrapped in bacon, three pieces just under 5 euros. Tortilla and croquetas were dry. Conclusion: You can go. Our rescuer was in a good mood

Absolut geschmacklose Tapas.Das Fleisch war kalt und zäh,die restlichen Speisen schmeckten nach nichts.Drf Service hatte nicht mal nötig zu fragen ob es schmeckt. Und ich habe jetzt Bauchschmerzen.

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive staff and authentic Spanish atmosphere. For me the Spanish reference restaurant! We will be back :) I would also like to recommend the peppers stuffed with cod 😉

Very tasty and high quality tapas! The atmosphere is cozy, clean and authentic and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended for a nice evening.

Today we visited the tapas bar “La Barra” on Barbarossaplatz in Cologne, without knowing that there had been a change of ownership here. We entered the restaurant with positive expectations, but were initially greeted in an extremely unfriendly manner, whereupon I had to emphasize that we were guests and why we were being treated so unfriendly. My concern only related to a question about seating. Then we ordered cava and some tapas. The “Patatas Bravas” were a disappointment; Instead of the expected specialty, we received croquette-like structures that didn't taste convincing. Overloaded with aioli and other sauces, they didn't reach the usual level. The calamari was cold and chewy inside, the bread was cold, and the aioli definitely tasted like a convenience product. Overall everything was inedible. Only the cava was good. When we were asked for our opinion at the end, I answered honestly that unfortunately we didn't like it, although I didn't intend to have any further discussion. A gentleman then came to our table and complained loudly about our criticism. We tried to explain that we just wanted to express our disappointment and were not looking for a discussion. His reaction was very unfriendly and he didn't understand why we were unhappy, he claimed everything was excellent. This experience, coupled with the owner's responses to negative reviews here on Google, demonstrates a concerning attitude towards guests. This is not behavior that a restaurateur should display. This was definitely the last visit to this restaurant for us and we definitely cannot recommend it.

Were there today to eat tapas. Delicious food and very nice and courteous staff. We'd love to come back

Once again everything was great! Truly an insider tip😇

The seafood paella was charged at 18 euros per adult and the same price for children, incomprehensible! The tapas platter for 4-5 people for 69.90 euros is full of the cheapest fried potatoes, peppers, etc. Total rip-off of the customers!

Very cozy tapas shop. The service was very attentive and friendly. The tapas portions were good and the prices were very good. You really think you are in Spain.

Chic smaller restaurant in the heart of Cologne. The dishes, ordered up and down the menu, were freshly prepared. The service was quick and friendly. Very happy again 🤟

Excellent tapas restaurant. We took 6 tapas to share for 3. Each tapas was excellent. We paid around 5 euros on average per tapas. The service is fast and friendly. We arrived around 5:50 p.m. but everything was almost already booked. I therefore advise you to book in advance.

I had a lot of fun with my friends yesterday. Great, relaxed atmosphere, fair prices and very good food. Thanks again 😇

It was a girls party of 5 people. We feel very comfortable La Barra. There is a good selection of food to choose from, Cava was also great. The prices are okay too. We were the last guests, the staff waited with understanding, look nice 🤗

Lecker, nicht ganz so ausgefallene Gerichte wie im Tapeo, dafür aber günstiger. Es hängt davon ab, auf was man mehr Wert legt.

Eine sehr gemütliche Tapas Bar. Sehr nette Bedienung die sogar spanisch sprechen, was ich in einer Tapas Bar erwarte. Also toll da. Man kann einen tollen Abend dort verbringen.

Die beste Cavabar außerhalb Spaniens! Top Tapas und original Brut aus Barcelona, perfekt!

Wir hatten verschiedene Tapas, alle durchaus in Ordnung. Das Personal war sehr herzlich und ist auf spezielle Getränkewünsche eingegangen.

So ein tolles Restaurant, wahnsinnig leckeres Essen und die Kellnerinnen waren alle gut gelaunt, aufmerksam und hatten einen netten Spruch auf den Lippen, selbst als der Laden richtig voll war! Vor dem Umbau fand ich es gemütlicher, deswegen ein haber Punkt Abzug beim Ambiente!

Sind seid Jahren Stammgast im Lokal. Heute wieder nach langer Zeit mal da. Alles modernisiert und ganz angenehm. Service ist aufmerksam und alles funktioniert. Leider hat der neue Inhaber ein anderes Konzept und eine andere Küche. Diese ist leider bei uns nicht angekommen. Geben Ihnen die zweite Chance nächstes Jahr im Frühling. Mal schauen.

Mega lecker, sehr aufmerksamer und netter Service. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Das La Barra ist eine wirklich schöne Tapas Bar, das Essen ist unglaublich lecker und der Service ist super. Bisher die beste Tapas Bar, die ich in Köln besucht habe und es war die fünfte. Die anderen können da leider nicht mithalten. Es schmeckt dort wie in Spanien!

Sehr hübsches und gemütliches Restaurant. Leckere Tapas Cava zu moderaten Preisen. Der Service war recht holprig, daher Punktabzug.

Hier gibt es die besten Tapas, die ich je gegessen habe. Die Bedienung war äußerst zuvorkommend. Die Einrichtung gibt einen spanischen Flair, vorallem kombiniert mit der spanischen Musik.

Schon ewig nicht mehr so leckere Tapas gegessen. Wir hatten je 6 Tapas und die waren wirklich ausreichend. Die Auswahl ist an Vielzahl kaum zu überbieten, hier ist mit Sicherheit für jeden was dabei. Die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Preis-Leistung stimmt. Kommen gerne wieder. Auf jeden Fall einen Tisch reservieren.

Schöne Tapas Bar. Cava und Wein sehr zu empfehlen für einen vernünftigen Flaschenpreis. Tapas sind sehr gut 👍

I've been here for 2nd time in one year, and will come again. Tapas - very tasty, service - very great, location - excellent. For sure one of my fav place in Köln. P.S. Previous design in restaurant was better though :) I missed empty bottles at the wall.

Hier passt alles. Essen und trinken lecker, entspannter und zuvorkommender Service, obwohl viel Betrieb ist.

Toller Spanier. Super lecker und unheimlich nettes Personal. Gerne wieder.

Essen war wie immer super lecker. Service war nett und freundlich allerdings waren sie nicht sehr aufmerksam was leere Gläser anging... aber wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder

Sehr leckeres Essen und super netter und aufmerksamer Service

Gemütliche kleines Tapas Restaurant mit gutem Essen und netter geduldiger Bedienung.

Da Essen war lecker, auch wenn ein oder zwei Speisen nicht ganz mein Geschmack waren. Allerdings sind hier ja auch die Geschmäcker verschieden. Service war super nett. Die Toiletten könnten einen neuen Anstrich vertragen. Aber ansonsten alle gut.

Nice spot for tapas. Service was fast and courteous. Outside seating in the summer time also available however it's right next to a busy road .

Immer wieder lecker.. komme gerne hierher..eine gute Auswahl an Tapas und mega freundliches Personal..

Ich verstehe nicht, wie der Laden so eine gute Bewertung haben kann. Die Bedienung war einwandfrei. Das Essen jedoch absolut nicht. Die meisten Gerichte waren warm gemacht, das Brot vom Vortag und Patatas sowie Aioli aus der Packung. Einzig die Gerichte, die frisch zubereitet (gebraten) werden müssen sowie die auf der Tageskarte waren gut.

Toller Service und leckere Tapas, wenngleich Letztere auch nicht außergewöhnlich sind. Ambient geht so und Preis-Leistung im Rahmen. Weinkarte leider wenig umfangreich, kenne ich in vergleichbaren Lokalitäten auch deutlich besser.
