La Esperanza Restaurant Tapas Bar in Berlin

Very attentive staff, super delicious food and a really large selection. We had 8 different tapas and they all tasted excellent. Bread was included free of charge! The location at the street intersection is perhaps a little noisier, but when the bar is busy and full in the evening, you can almost only hear the other guests and less the traffic. The interior is very nice and the smaller outdoor area is inviting and cozy 😊👌🏻

The tapas were average, but the selection was huge. There really is something for everyone! The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Delicious tapas, but I was missing the finishing touches. Service very friendly!

The site is very good. The food and the perfect treatment

Small restaurant with a lot of charm, attentive service and generous portions. TOP!

We came here for dinner very late in the evening (11pm) after an interminably long session. We received a very friendly welcome. When we asked whether there was anything to eat so late, we were told that we could of course still eat with them in peace. We ordered 10 different tapas for 3 people, which were plentiful and all very tasty. The open red wine was also very good. The service was extremely friendly and the bill was well below our expectations. Bravo, I can fully recommend the restaurant!

Excellent paella, great steak. Gladly again!!!

A really incredibly good tapas bar, all the tapas were of great quality and a decent size, the prices are absolutely okay and the taste was a dream, we were all thrilled, the service had fun at work and was totally attentive, it went quickly and didn't take long Waiting time - we can only recommend it.

We had a lovely evening, the host spontaneously provided us with a seat, we were able to order straight away and the food was fantastic and plentiful. Great cocktails and delicious drinks. Highly recommended and thank you very much.

La Esperanza is an absolute gem! We ordered 6 tapas, and every single one was fabulous. The ribs were a highlight – a huge portion with an incredible taste, and even the potatoes were delicious. The chili con carne, although technically a soup, was hearty enough to serve as a main course, perfectly spiced with just the right amount of kick. We also had a 50cl sangria, which was exquisite and paired wonderfully with the meal. The service was top-notch; our waiter was super friendly and gave excellent recommendations. Overall, an amazing dining experience. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely evening here with good food and friendly people, would surely recommend ❤️

Personally, I didn't find the tapas to be of very high quality and the drinks were quickly watered down by the amount of ice. Service was okay, ambience didn't exactly transport me to Spain...

“La Esperanza” or where the cuisine is succulent, the staff welcoming, the atmosphere warm. We ate extremely well, enough! The cuisine and products are of quality. Top value for money. Thank you for your welcome. All our Belgian friendships 🇧🇪

Perfect spot for tapas and wine. Bustling vibe and tasty goodness.

Super tasty tapas... and very friendly service... everything was very clean!!!

Food was delicious, service great! I will definitely visit again. 💯

Super tasty Spaniard with natural friendliness and fast but relaxed service and modern but classic cuisine. After we were there as tourists to eat tapas the day before yesterday, I absolutely had to try the paëlla today and experienced a "revelation"! The best Valenciana in ages! Everything on it and inside that belongs: mussels and cockles, crabs, fish. Chicken, peas etc and saffron rice at its best A great dining experience at a very fair price (just under €60 for two including several drinks)!

Great evening, very friendly service and delicious tapas. Highly recommended!

Spanish or Latin type tapas. Not comparable to those taken in Spain but it is not the case either.

Delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, good sangria. In addition, friendly and fast service, so the place is highly recommendable.

Just great. Food very tasty, service great

Very good restaurant with tasty and hearty tapas. Very reasonable prices and excellent service

Great place havent tried the food yet but it lools nice

We were looking for something in the area at short notice and were there for the first time yesterday. Even though it was Saturday, around 7:30 p.m., we still got a table inside. Due to the heat, all the tables outside were occupied. But it would also have been too loud for us (a lot of traffic at the intersection). We decided on the 6 variations (i.e. a selection of 6 tapas warm or cold). The record costs €31.90, the photos in the reviews at €25.90 are out of date. The individual prices are 5.90 and 6.90 respectively, so you can get away with the record well. There is a piece of paper with the card on which you can mark the individual tapas. This makes ordering very easy. The tapas came after about 15 minutes and were all very tasty. It was served with fresh, dark bread and two bowls of aioli (I'm not a huge fan of garlic but it was delicious). Card payment was possible. Overall, clear recommendation.

Of course it's a little more comfortable than on a busy street, but the shop is really worth a visit. We only chose from the tapas and they were excellent.

Very tasty tapas! Freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The only point deducted is for the aioli that was ordered - it was very tasty but the bowl was unfortunately very tiny. All in all, I would recommend this restaurant and come here again myself.

Great food for very fair prices. Nice and comfortable atmosphere, which allows you to relax and enjoy your visit even though the restaurant is located on the corner of a busy street. Parking is a problem, but you have good public transportation connections.

I wrote an honest review about the food and because it was low it was removed on the grounds that I had been slandered. They probably ask Google to remove all bad reviews, that's why they have a high rating. I will write again that I didn't like the food here. As a Spanish woman, I think I know what good Spanish food is. I was there and I didn't like it. The quality of the ingredients, the friendliness of the service and the quality of the oil could be improved. This is not defamation, but clear, constructive criticism. Please don't remove my reviews.

A very chic, small Spanish restaurant where you can eat very good tapas. The people are very friendly and will be happy to help and advise you if the need arises. Always my pleasure

After trying it, we started coming almost every day. Everything is delicious and the portions are large. The employees are very polite. I recommend it to everyone. Definitely go!!!

It's a flavor we became addicted to after trying it once. The warmth, the variety in the menu, the kindness of the employees, especially Mr. Zafer's attention every time we come, are very good. I recommend it to everyone.

It's a place we love with everything from the breadth of its menu, the size of its portions, and the attention of its staff. It is an ideal place to come in groups and as a family. We are here almost every day. I highly recommend it.

The tapas was amazing the service 10/10 very friendly..we recommend and is also children friendly my teen like it .

's Avonds al voorbijfietsend bij la Esperanza halt gehouden, en we hebben het ons niet beklaagd. In dit wat alternatief uitziend restaurant hebben we uitzonderlijk lekkere Spaanse tapa's gegeten, gevolgd door een smakelijke paella. Top. Ook de wijn en service was op dezelfde lijn. En dit voor een heel bescheiden prijs.

Really delicious food for a great price! And very friendly service

Hispanic tapas that are too big, don't over-order. Very tasty food.

Excellent service, they served us super fast and everything was delicious. Without a doubt we will return.

Excellent tapas, we loved it. Very good Viennese schnitzel. The quantities are very generous. We recommend this restaurant 100%..

For us, the many positive reviews are absolutely incomprehensible. Maybe we just had an unfortunate day in the kitchen and service?

Great tapas and food. There are lot of options with the tapas. The staff is also very welcoming.

Smooth friendly service and delicious food. Paella Valencia is highly recommended!!

Last night we decided to go to dinner at this restaurant which has a Spanish name. To our regret we found that the only Spanish thing it had was the name. Being able to recite some examples would be a potato omelet with partially raw potatoes, a patatas bravas which were submerged in the sauce and was extremely spicy, hard croquettes, etc. Therefore I do not consider it appropriate to consider their cuisine Spanish. For the fact that it does not resemble our gastronomy.

Cozy solid tapas bar with nice service and delicious wines.

My friends wanted to eat tapas and I found this restaurant on Google Maps and reserved a table. I have to say the food exceeded our expectations and was incredibly tasty. The service was very friendly, and the paella portion was large and tasted great - absolutely recommended.

If La Esperanza were in Stuttgart, it would be our regular restaurant. Great selection of tapas, delicious paella and fruity, refreshing sangria. The restaurant could have been in Barre Gothic in Barcelona. ☺️

Very good food and in large quantities, attention, in large quantities, northern Spain model. Magnificent service. If you are from Valencia, don't order the "paella"

DON’T GO! Forget our order! Super slow! Brought us still water when we asked for sparkling…we felt that we were not welcome at all! ( we are🏳️‍🌈 ). Low quality meat! Overpriced soft drinks! Pretty sure most of their reviews are fake( not verified)!

Great food, portions fill you up. Tapas great. Service, very friendly, unfortunately only English speaking. We sit outside, which is nice, but very noisy as it is of course at an intersection. Lovely again.

This was THE WORST dining experience I've ever had. I came with a large group and we were told we could be serviced. However, upon sitting down we waited over an hour just for water and multiple people in my group never received their beverages. One person's food was brought out cold and two others never received their food before we had to leave. Our waiter argued with us about paying for items we either never received or received as we were leaving, 2 hours later. If you are foreign, I strongly discourage you from having a meal at this establishment. I would also discourage parties of more than 3 from eating here unless you hav 2+ hours to wait on water, beverages and food and I have the patience to ask for items at least three times. Additionally, the food was decent at best but definitely not worth the money. It was honestly just an entirely horrible dining experience that really put a damper on our overall experience in Germany.

Sensational food and super friendly staff you really can't complain. Even though the restaurant was very full, the staff kept the whole place running smoothly and we were able to receive our orders quickly. We'll definitely be back and are already looking forward to it.

i wish i could give this 0 place stars. it took our table an hour just to get waters after asking time and time again for them. some people in my party waited an hour and a half to get our drinks. our food came out after an hour and a half and much if it was cold. some of us never even got our food. some of us never got our drinks. this is the worst service i have ever had in my life - i could not warn you enough to NOT COME HERE! when we tried to refuse to pay for the water we waited an hour for, we got an irate response from the waiter. all we are being offered for our troubles are deserts - which will probably take an hour just to get here. we are international students and are missing class for this. 👎🏽

Food top! Tapas fresh and super tasty. Clear recommendation!!

Food, service and ambience are rather mediocre. You can go, but you don't have to. There are also better Spanish restaurants in the City East (although of course they ALL necessarily have a “tourist character”)!

Tasty food, I like their paella here. The restaurant also has a good vibe 👍

Classic Spanish tapas restaurant, the best of the simple, churros and crema Catalana included... and also great: San Miguel on tap... totally reminded me of my 2 years working in Spain.

The food is amazing! Paella tasty really nice, but the portion is small. I give 4 stars because Sangria 0.5 l costs 13.9 euro. It’s too expansive.

Goed gegeten op een steenworp van ons hotel. Gezellig personeel en leuke Spaanse muziek. We hebben in Spanje betere tapas gegeten maar het was o.k en niet duur. De Sangria was heerlijk

It was my first time in this restaurant/bar and I can only say: I highly recommend it. There were four of us and we had a really nice place by the large, completely open window. The service was excellent. We were served quickly and very friendly, the food and drinks were delicious. The staff is attentive and very appreciative. Thank you very much for the great evening with you. I'm really looking forward to the next visit.

Altough it was very tasty, the portions of food were very small. I ordered chicken skewers for around €6.5 and it were just 2 pieces of around 10cm per skewer. The crema catalana was just microwaved and there were lumps in it. When we asked why there was a lemon pitt in my friends crema catalana, the waiter didn’t quite understand us and just told us that that was normal. The staff was nice and most of the food was good, altough overpriced (there is a deal wich is: 6 tapas for €31.)

The food was delicious. The selection is extensive. However, the bread served was very crusty, making it difficult to eat. The service was top.

We ordered tappas across the bed, three of us were there, everyone was very satisfied. I would happily go there again, I can only recommend it, the staff was very friendly

Absolutely great restaurant. The food is very, very good and the service is great. We'll definitely be back! Thank you for the lovely evening.

We probably waited 5 minutes for your menu... the waiter preferred to chat outside... then the cook came and put a piece of paper and pen in front of us... we were supposed to write down our order... we then left because we had expected different service

Good food, handsome and clever waiters, good atmosphere. Best tapas and vibe🍷

Such hospitable people 🩷 sat down spontaneously during the game and received great service and great drinks

Delicious food and tasty drinks! The servers are great and nice. Das Essen und vor allem die Auswahl waren super. Es hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt.

We really wanted to visit a nice and delicious Tappas restaurant during our visit to Berlin, we were not disappointed. So delicious, a wonderful selection of Spanish delicacies, very, very friendly service, completely natural, we will definitely be back, we are totally thrilled!

Everting was perfect, we have some tapas to start after grilled meat and beef faita, mojito is great, service was excellent

Great restaurant, excellent Argentinian rump steak, the side dish was also very well cooked, I had a great time on the terrace.

Nice tapas and a wide variety of dishes

Top restaurant, excellent quality of food and very friendly service. We have been here twice and we are absolutely satisfied with it. The great idea of ​​offering tapas like in Spain allows you to enjoy multiple dishes and makes the whole experience absolutely fun and relaxed. I absolutely recommend the Sangria and the Tinto de Verano as a refreshing addition.

In an aging property in the middle of the city at a busy intersection there is a gourmet oasis that is definitely worth a visit! A rich selection of tapas (a must have) in many different variations and a generous menu.

Klassisches spanisches Restaurant. Die Karte bietet neben den klassisches Tappas auch div. andere spanische Gerichte. Die Portionen bei den Tappas sind ok. Leider gibt es dazu nur 08/15 Aufbackbaguette. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht überragend aber gut.

A nice place to hang out with friends on Friday night. Tapas options have more then expected, some are not often offered from others. Like their baguettes. Burgers are also available. Good to try.

The best restaurant ever. 1A 🙌🏻

I haven't had such good tapas for a long time and excellent service. I recommend 100%.

Super tasty tapas, great service, fair prices

The food was super tasty, even though I don't like squid, they prepared this one very well. I can only recommend!

Best Spaniard!! Super nice staff, fine tapas at fair prices, cozy, delicious cocktails, we'll be happy to come back

Great, delicious food and friendly staff. We'd love to come back!

Very good food. Fast and attentive service.

Great tapas, Spanish flavor! Perfect to feel at home. Very attentive staff. We will be back

I went to try it today and the whole experience was paella ready in 10 minutes delivered from the kitchen, the iron pot and rice was cold. There was very much oil on the bottom of the pan and rice, it felt like it was oil mixed with the rice, the Tapas delivery of the deep fried dishes was also cold, all the dishes had been served and the drinks arrived late. It didn't feel like a real Spanish restaurant, but of course the name of the restaurant is great. Didn't understand that it only took 5-10 minutes to cook the paella and it was cold just after cooking, including the iron pot and the rice ......... People should know the real deal.

Food quality top! Service and atmosphere very cozy and accommodating… gladly again

Order was accepted and then rejected after an hour. Neither German nor English is spoken on the phone. thanks for nothing

Rekommenderas! Vi två delade på sex olika tapas-rätter, alla utsökt goda. Räkor i olja, (gambas aillies), friterade babybläckfisk, croqeuetter, chorizo, ansjovis (boqerones), serrano-skinka och crème catalan mm Jättegott vin till och en liten veterano till kaffet. Trevlig atmosfär, trevlig personal. Gå hit! prisvärt och ligger där Friedrichstrasse börjar (norra änden) nära Oranienburger Tor.

I have no idea why the reviews are so good. It's filling, okay. But I've eaten better a few times. Service: I think we had a new energy, therefore medium ok. Can be rated rather poorly. In general, the food is better in many Spanish restaurants. I think the location is just great for tourists and they might be overwhelmed by the city. I don't have to go here again.

Nice little restaurant with delicious food. Portions are big, and prices are moderate (for Berlin standards). The place is clean, staff polite and friendly.

The truth is, everything is super good! They serve dinner until late which is good because almost everything was closed and it was only 10pm. Very good food! Quick service and very friendly and helpful waiters!

Decent food, but not great. Service pretty bad. We waited half an hour for tapas (including cold ones), they only arrived when we asked again and all together, so some were not warm anymore and we had to eat everything together. One tapas we ordered was not available, none told us and we just received 11 instead of 12, we had to ask and we then choose a different one. We also had to ask for glasses two times and received after quite a long time. It was a busy Friday but not meeting expectations.

Yes, we looked at the recessions beforehand and were not disappointed. Visually, the house doesn't look particularly inviting from the outside. But luckily we're not and that didn't affect us. Friendly service, delicious tapas, relaxed atmosphere. Gladly again.

Very good tapas, service very friendly,

downright bad. Meatballs arrived frozen inside. Returned. And then they arrived frozen again.

Excellent tapas, good paella and fajtas.

Wonderful and beautiful restaurant

We came here spontaneously because it had such a good rating and we already know a few tapas restaurants in Berlin. The restaurant was normally full, but there was only one waiter. The dishes were nevertheless served quickly; Overall, quite tasty, but relatively little and not very lovingly prepared. There was enough bread and aioli. PL ratio is okay, overall it was quite okay.

Very good tapas 👯 Price performance is right

Very friendly little shop, professional and attentive service and very good food at a reasonable price! We enjoyed it, thank you!

Excellent food and hilarious service! Lovely experience - absolutely recommend!

Can you overcook potatoes? Yes, it works here. Do they make the tapas themselves? I'm not sure. Service slow and food boring. Very unfortunate.
