La Pepa in Freiburg im Breisgau

An improbable discovery: this tapas bar among our German friends! Remember to book on Saturday evening because many people are refused entry without a reservation A real tapas bar with a typical Spanish atmosphere. Quite noisy...if you're looking for peace and quiet, go your own way. Nice surprise regarding the well-cooked tapas: Serrano ham, cheese, croquetas... Friendly service. I recommend.

We went there for dinner for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. The portion sizes of the tapas are reasonably priced but almost too much for us. A small delay at the beginning was responded to very nicely. The rooms in the basement seem a bit more comfortable because the volume in the upper area is a bit high. Clear 5 stars ⭐️, we'll be back 😉

A prime example of a bad Spaniard! "Dried bread from Seville" is only on the menu, you just get potato chips out of the bag on your plate. Olive kebabs are apparently no longer there, even though they are in the display case. Lomo saltado: meat quality of the lowest level, not a single piece could be chewed! The waitress is not interested in the customer and tips are simply collected without asking. Any kebab shop would have been a better choice. Goodbye forever!

La Pepa is a perfect place for good food and enjoying a unique place in Freiburg. It has a dreamy decoration and ground floor. An extraordinary and excellent staff. You feel at home 🏠. Great range of cocktails, Very professional, highly recommended.

It was a really nice evening. Food was good and the waitress was very friendly. We had a reservation and got a table in the basement, it was nice there (we wished they said that on the phone when reserving a table!) - it was cozy in the "cellar" for the time of year and it's nicely decorated down there

Best service and food, u feel like home , glad to come back :)

Chaos at the entrance. Table for eating 40x 40 cm on absolutely unsuitable, uncomfortable bar stools in the passage with a view and smell of/from the toilet in the basement. Despite prior reservation. When I asked whether another table would be possible for eating, I was told: "You are assigned to this table, I can't do anything about it." Went straight back. Accordingly, no statement about the quality of the food.

Super fine and good service We had the menu

A very nice, cozy restaurant with very tasty food and great service. Gladly again.

Ate Spanish for the first time (fried cassava and panini with Iberico). Food was very tasty and highly recommended, ambience was very loud, service was unfortunately not very pleasant. It took a long time until we were even allowed to order drinks. Before we got them, the two girls at the next table got their drinks and the first round of food. After our drinks (1 bottle of sparkling wine and 2 bottles of still water at the beginning for 6 people) were brought to the table, it took another quarter of an hour until the food was served. Everything was incredibly tasty, portions (everyone had two small dishes) were just right to fill you up. Shortly after 8 p.m. we were told that we would like to pay... Two were charged before us, food was brought to 5 others and the two waiters, both of whom knew that we wanted to leave, paid no attention. After a second request, there was an almost curt "I told my colleague" and a third request from us, the time had finally come: the bill was brought, put down and the waiter was gone again. Whether we would like to pay together or separately was not asked in advance and when the waiter came and started saying "well I had..." he crumpled up the receipt and left again. Then he handed out food again and another 10 minutes passed. Then both waiters stood there (now 8:35 p.m.) and the last waiting time was excused as a cash register problem, which unfortunately doesn't make up for the previous lack of service. So if you want a delicious meal you can definitely go to La Pepa, if you sit at all the other tables than at the entrance just around the corner on the right, you'll probably have better luck with the service

My wife and I were there on October 4th and 5th. at La Pepa and thought it was really great. A great team. Very friendly and considerate. Fast service and delicious food and drinks. Thank you. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty and highly recommended.

Fantastic tapas bar. Top food, world class service. Gladly again 👍

Really, really delicious vegetarian food: fruity olives, honey eggplant, goat cheese croquettes, mushrooms, potatoes with garlic sauce, churros. Everything was very delicate and really well seasoned. Yes, we swallowed the bill, but the food is simply something special. Service was very nice and polite, you might need a little patience. But the restaurant was also full. I would be happy to come back at any time and can highly recommend it!

Very good service. The waitress with the glasses was super nice.

Tolle spanische Küche, man fühlt sich ein bisschen wie im Urlaub in Spanien. Authentische Tapas, nette Bedienung. Kommen gerne wieder.

Very tasty tapas Unfortunately, the staff was very unmotivated and absent, and the tapas also came with a delay

The tapas were really delicious. Cooked well and flawlessly and (as far as I can tell) authentic. Unfortunately, there was a draft throughout the restaurant and the employees didn't close the door until late. In addition, the employees smoked in front of the front door, so smoke also drifted into the restaurant. Finally, a few of the lamps had a loose connection, causing an inhospitable flickering light. The service was very slow. Of course, tapas should be served one after the other and in peace. However, there shouldn't have been waiting times of over 20 minutes until we could order the next course (including preparation, up to 30 minutes between courses). Order requests (please the two following tapas at the same time, because they are not something for all eaters; please carbonated water, etc.) were consistently not implemented. Even after ordering, it took a long time for the food to arrive. Overall, we left after 2.5 hours hungry and dissatisfied (and €140 less for 3 people). I wouldn't come back.

Nice Spanish place. Good food and nice atmosphere. Service could be better for sure.

It's a mega tapas bar, but 18 euros for a handful of calamari is steep. Unfortunately I won't be setting foot in there again. For 18 euros more, expect pizza next time you're in Freiburg

The food was good. But the staff was underground and so rude and heartless. The impudence started when I ordered and stopped when the waiter covered me with curry sauce (shoes, skirt, top and the bag) all he said was "today is not my day". When he came back and he threw a rag on the table and said "sorry," I thought I was in the wrong movie. We had to clean everything ourselves: table, chair, bag and my clothes as best we could. I was able to dispose of my clothes, which is why I'm only writing the recession today, the whole thing took place on August 16th, 2024. Sure we got 5 *ONE* Crema Catalana... That's a joke when I look at the costs...

Absolut fähiges Personal Tapas zu Empfehlen einfach lecker kommen wieder. Klein aber fein reservieren über Webseite problemlos.

Attentive staff, great tapas, highly recommended

Very nice and comfortable place, very kind and helpful waiters and particular and well-plated food (space), also affordable prices. I recommend it.

It was delicious, the service was unfortunately a bit slow, there wasn't much going on and during the week🙄 you're welcome to try it yourself 👌

The table wasn't wiped for 45 minutes and it really needed it. The calamari wasn't fried, had to be put back in the deep fryer and the vegetables were charred. Everything was bearable, but unfortunately it all took an hour and the service was, as usual in Freiburg, in a bad mood. It's a shame, we always enjoyed being there, it's nice to sit in. We might drink some wine there, but yesterday was our last time eating.

Beautiful ambience, top service - super friendly. The food was terrific 😋😋😋 We once again had a wonderful evening in la Pepa

It's very good, but not perfect... Tapas are original and tasty, the service is very nice, but I'm not drawn to come back. Maybe it's just my feeling, but the Spanish soul is missing...

Very tasty food! Great tapas, warm and cold. Drinks okay. Some tapas are realistically priced, some are too expensive. But just - very tasty.

Very good great authentic tapas bar! The service was great, very friendly, helpful with the selection, you can tell they all love their job and their bar! Food was very good! We will be back definitely!

Very carefully seasoned for a Spaniard...

Wow! I've only ever known such high-quality tapas from LaCulunaria 🤘 The good-looking, tattooed waitress was able to answer all my questions about the menu in Spanish and quickly brought food and drink ❤️

Good Spanish options, some dishes are a fusion between Spain and Latin American, it is not bad, so if you like to try it and you are not a purist of Spanish cuisine, you will enjoy it! Highly recommended!

Unfortunately it's only good for drinking. Four pieces of honeydew melon with ham for €9 and then a stomach ache for us. But drinks were great.

Very tasty food and very nice service!

The selection of tapas is really mega! Great tapas and nice atmosphere 😊

The food was extremely tasty and came super quickly. The employees were very courteous and on the ball. Felt like a mini vacation. Gladly again!

Completely recommended, super delicious food, very friendly service and an outstanding tinto de verano!

Spanish flair in Freiburg. If you want to enjoy good tapas at a good price, you should definitely visit this restaurant. Offer day menu and happy hour. Recommended!

Very good Spanish restaurant with super nice staff. A place to feel good and come back.

Delicious tapas, great selection of vegetarian tapas too. Any time.

Nice little Spanish tappas bar, good croquettes and nice atmosphere.

The two of us had dinner. We were able to make a reservation very spontaneously and the food was very tasty. The waitresses are also great, especially the love with the glasses who gave us a vodka caramel on the house afterwards. All in all a great evening that needs to be repeated.

A cozy tapas bar with a great ambience. Unfortunately, we all found the tapas to be a bit boring in terms of taste.

The best tapas bar in Freiburg, always a pleasure!

Perfect Price performance exceeded our expectations. The service and the food were fantastic

Bar à tapas Prix abordables On retrouve les tapas classiques Le goût y est , la quantité aussi L’ambiance est typique espagnole Service agréable Dépaysant !!

It's always an experience to order tappas here. Super tasty, great restaurant

The food was so bad that I would rather eat boiled potatoes for the next 25 years. If I could I would give 0 stars. The service was the best though.

Fantastic, cozy tapas bar in a prime location opposite the Cinemaxx. I had a Russian salad - a huge portion to fill up or share, although I was only expecting a small tapas portion. Here you start with the perfect foundation for a long night! Very friendly service and delicious food - even until shortly before closing.

Friendly service, the ambient was ideal, the food I had no complaints. I didn't have to wait too long to be served. If you want to eat spanish in Freiburg this is the place to go.

Wir waren als Familie in Freiburg im la Pepa, und ich muss sagen, es war ein tolles Erlebnis. Ich glaube, alle Menschen, die in diesem Restaurant bedient haben, waren Spanier, und die Tapas, die es gab, waren auch alle echt richtig tolle spanische Tapas. Wir haben es sehr genossenauch leckeren Wein dazu getrunken und hatten eine Menge Spaß. Gerne wieder beim nächsten Besuch in Freiburg

Delicious food, unfortunately very loud, you can hardly have a conversation

Nice to eat tapas, food comes relatively quickly and is good to very good. Creme Catalan is a matter of taste, I didn't like it, it was a bit different from the original in my opinion. Still a good Spanish restaurant

What a surprise to find this site! I felt at home. The tapas were delicious and the atmosphere was great. It is an excellent place to have tapas or a drink.

Authentic Spanish restaurant with a wide selection of tapas.

Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed, especially with the price-performance ratio of the food. It tasted okay, but nothing more. We thought it was a bit cheeky to charge €18 for a limited quantity of grilled vegetable platter that wasn't even really tasty (the eggplant, for example, was rubbery and not well fried). The rest of the dishes weren't very convincing either. Our nicely formulated feedback wasn't really well received by the waitress (“I can't do anything about that”). The atmosphere is very pleasant; under different circumstances we would have liked to stay longer. I won't come back.

Large selection of Spanish dishes and drinks. Delicious food and nice service. Unfortunately the music was a bit too loud.

Lecker, wunderbare Tapasauswahl, toller Vino de la Casa, super tolle spanische Bedienung - es war ein schöner Abend!!

La Pepa in Freiburg deserves three stars because despite the deteriorating quality of the food, the often too loud music that makes conversation difficult, and an ambience that seems dark and a bit outdated, the service remains a bright spot. The staff is consistently friendly and courteous, which noticeably enhances the overall experience.

We love La Pepa. Great tapas and cool stuff

food is okay. our server was slow and useless. she couldnt recommend anything and seemed annoyed and arrogant. She doesnt give those spanish vibes this tapas bar is trying to convey. cocktails were good, la pepa is still recommendable for having some drinks

Perfect and recommended Spanish restaurant. Looks like you're there. All very good. The perfect ratatouille from La Mancha (says a manchego from Albacete) Albugerautos andorra

Das Essen ist sehr fein, das Ambiente toll und der Service war top. Einziger Kritikpunkt: der Rotwein wird ungekühlt serviert. Unbedingt reservieren am Wochenende.

Super nice, tasty and Spanish 😉

100% recommended, we were surprised by the treatment of the workers who were all Spanish and the welcome olives that we ended up buying because they are very tasty. You can see that the dishes are made with love and transported us straight to Spain. We will come back!

Very tasty food, great wines and very friendly and attentive staff. We were really very satisfied.

We had only reserved for two people and met an acquaintance 10 minutes before our reservation who came with us. Despite the fact that the shop was completely full, the service was so flexible and was able to offer us a table. The food came very, very quickly and was very tasty. My personal favorite was the chorizos. The waitresses have a temper, which is very personable. The only thing I have to criticize is that you are told how long you can sit, for us it was now 2 hours. We would have liked to drink another bottle of wine, but we didn't have enough time.

Nice Spanish atmosphere with a delicious tapas selection. The cozy atmosphere invites you to linger. The restaurant is lovingly decorated in Spanish style, with warm colors and traditional decorations. The tapas selection is varied and delicious. From classic Tortilla Española to grilled prawns, everyone will find something to their taste here. The fresh ingredients and authentic spices make every dish a real pleasure.

Authentic and unique restaurant! Very tasty food and friendly service combined with good music and attractive decoration create a very special atmosphere. A piece of Spain in Freiburg to eat well and have a good time...

The food was great and the cocktails were delicious. The team is very friendly and you feel comfortable. Definitely recommendable.

We went on Friday for dinner and everything was great, very good food, very nice staff and good atmosphere, we will return soon! :)

Service war gut und freundlich - das Essen war reichlich, jedoch irgendwie schwer verdaulich- leider. Was auch nicht geht ist, dass man für Wasser (mit ein paar Blätter Minze, das wussten wir nicht) 7 € bezahlt?! Es war nicht schlecht, doch wir werden nicht mehr hingehen.

The food was too greasy for me personally and the service itself was unfortunately very overwhelmed that evening. Although a “normal” table was reserved, we were only given a bar table, which did not allow more than 3 dishes at the same time. We also received the wrong delivery several times, and some dishes never arrived at all. The price was not entirely understandable given the small size of some of the dishes. When collecting the tip, the waitress charged us a much larger tip than planned, which was a bit unpleasant for us.

Mega good tapas at very good prices in a Spanish atmosphere... very good!

Poorly directed. Exploited service.

Delicious tapas, a bit noisy in the interior, great wine selection.

Food and drinks very tasty! Service is also top! BUT !!! VERY VERY EXPENSIVE for some tapas. e.g. shrimps in garlic oil 17 euros... pretty intense.

Having just vegetables doesn't make you vegan friendly. Sorry.

- Tolles Tapas Restaurant - Super Auswahl an verschiedenen Tapas - Schneller und freundlicher Service - Tipp, unten reservieren

If you like food…do not eat here. Far away from Spanish gastronomy. Service was nice, but the food… better leave there. If you like food and especially Spanish, don't come!! The only thing I saved was the treatment of the waiters. The rest…..

Eigentlich wollten wir nur die leckeren Oliven kaufen Es hat jedoch so wunderbar geduftet und deshalb haben wir uns einen Vorspeisenteller gegönnt. Von der Chefin wurden wir besonders nett bedient und haben bewundert, wie perfekt und mit Leidenschaft sie ihre Gäste bedient.

Lecker Essen mit toller Auswahl

Guter Service, Essen nicht so gut. Es ist nicht annähernd ein spanisches gastronomisches Erlebnis. Ehrlich gesagt könnte das Essen deutlich verbessert werden. Als Tipp würde ich nur gebratenen Tintenfisch, Würstchen und vielleicht Kroketten bestellen. Die anderen Gerichte schmecken nicht nach spanischem Essen. Es gibt spanisches Bier, es empfiehlt sich, das Alhambra-Bier zu probieren. Wir waren eine Gruppe deutscher und spanischer Freunde und waren alle vom Essen enttäuscht. Ich hoffe, dass die Kritik zur Verbesserung nützlich ist!

Tapas bis zum Umfallen. Wir waren positiv überrascht.

War sehr schön, erinnert an Spanie. Leute sehr offen und ein schönes Ambiente. Kommen gerne wieder

Está súper bueno el restaurante

Ein gemütliches Restaurant mit lieben Mitarbeitern und tollem Essen.

Einer der besten Orte um spanische Tapas zu essen, bei einer Gruppe über 4 Personen empfiehlt sich das Tapas Menü, bei dem unter Garantie jeder gut gesättigt wird

Sehr leckere, frische Tapas. Sehr gut gewürzt und mit Liebe und Können zubereitet. Unbedingt reservieren.

Der Hauswein war sehr lecker und das Personal sehr nett. Das Essen jedoch würde ich nicht weiterempfehlen.

Ich liebe es! Spanisches Feeling vom Feinsten. Ganz tolle Räumlichkeit und sehr sehr gutes Essen. Ich bin sehr gerne und immer wieder hier. Danke ♥️

Sehr schöner Laden. Leckeres Essen. Freundliches Personal. Sehr zufrieden.

Super Spanier, sehr nette Bedienungen, lecker Essen, schönes Ambiente 😊😊 Sind nur 3 Tage in Freiburg, der Spanier war ein Besuch wert

Tolle Auswahl an sehr leckeren Tapas, guter Service und angenehme Atmosphäre.

Kurzfristig hatten wir uns einen Tag vorher angemeldet. Da das Wetter sehr warm war, erhielten wir einen Minitisch draussen an der Hauswand. War nicht so bequem, aber man brachte uns Kissen für die Gartenstühle. Da wir keine Tapas aßen, bestellten wir unterschiedliche Gerichte. Sie waren alle reichlich und lecker. Die frittierten Garnelen in Zeitungspapier mit Avocadosauce waren groß und ausreichend als Vorspeise. Die Paella für eine Person hätte besser gewürzt sein können, hatte allerdings genügend Inhalt. Der Service war schnell und freundlich.

Super lekker gegeten. Top bediening, heel vriendelijke bazen en personeel. Hebben met vier enkele tapas gerechten gedeeld. Was heel lekker! Sfeer en gezelligheid zijn hier ook een grote troef. Kortom, zeker een bezoekje waard!!!! Bedankt.

Lecker, charmante Atmosphäre und die besten Oliven der Welt. Leider bekommt man diese nicht zum Mitnehmen - die im Glas schmecken leider anders. Aber allein wegen den Oliven würde ich immer wiederkommen! Tageskarte ist auch toll!

Wir waren nun zum zweiten Mal da und sind weiterhin begeistert. Das Essen wie immer super lecker. Sehr gerne wieder.

Auténtico restaurante español con comida muy buena y típica de España. Los camareros son muy simpáticos. Recomendado!
