My husband and I bought a Travelzoo voucher for Barsa Tabersa and decided to make the reservation for today.
We were warmly greeted by the hostess and our waitress (Jamie) was very professional and friendly. Barsa Tabersa was definitely not "judgey" that you're enjoying the meal at half the price with the voucher. Jamie was quick to ask us about food allergies or aversions before she served us the chef's selection. We even upgraded our choice of wine or beer to their famous sangria (very happy).
We had 5 dishes in total and they were:
Sea Bream Ceviche - it was acidic and refreshing.
Cumbraes Beef Tartare - very nice balance of texture of the diced beef and the crunch of the chicharron; tastes really good too.
Panelle Frites - awesome light and crispy exterior and melt in your mouth interior. A very tasty deep fried treat! Although personally I wished it came with some sort of dipping sauce.
Chicken Salad - very nice presentation of a deconstructed chicken salad. The giant crouton was the best element, the other ingredients were good but didn't blow my mind.
Braised Beef Short Ribs - the beef was really tender and it was also good. My husband enjoyed it more than I did.
Overall, we will definitely be back to try out some grilled octopus and paella! The service at Barsa is one of the better experience I've had in a while.
