If you’re craving a little slice of Spain right here in Warsaw, Barceloneta is where you need to be.
Tucked away in Mokotów at Kazimierzowska 43, this cozy yet stylish spot feels like a warm invitation to slow down, grab a glass of wine and dive into some seriously good food. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling chorizo and freshly made tapas – it’s the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. Soaking up the atmosphere, sharing plates with friends and letting yourself be transported straight to the bustling streets of Barcelona with every bite of crispy patatas bravas, every sip of chilled wine, and every burst of flavor that makes you forget, just for a moment, that you’re still in Warsaw.
Barceloneta has nailed the balance between laid-back and effortlessly cool and their menu is packed with dishes that keep you coming back for more. Tapas steal the show here, perfect for sharing (or not, we won’t judge). Start with the legendary patatas bravas – golden, crispy potatoes smothered in bravas sauce and creamy aioli – or go for the aubergine drizzled with spicy honey sauce, a sweet-and-savory combo that just works. If you’re a seafood lover, the mussels marinated in orange and vegetables will make you wonder why you’ve never paired shellfish with citrus before, while their briny, fresh oysters are practically begging to be enjoyed with a crisp glass of white wine.
Feeling adventurous? The smoked anchovies with courgette, tomatoes, sweet potato and almonds might sound unexpected, but trust us, it’s a flavor bomb in the best possible way. And yes, we’re mentioning the patatas bravas again because, honestly, one plate is never enough.
While tapas are the heart and soul of Barceloneta, the larger plates (raciones, as they say in Spain) are just as irresistible. The Galician-style octopus with sweet potato and caramelized onion is comfort food with a touch of elegance, while the chorizo with patatas bravas and okra is smoky, slightly spicy, and downright addictive. If you’re in the mood for something hearty, the grilled octopus with pak choi or the beef entrecôte with baked sweet potatoes and romaine lettuce will hit the spot.
And let’s not even pretend you’re skipping dessert. The crema catalana with white chocolate is the kind of dessert you’ll be thinking about for days – a silky, caramelized dream that melts in your mouth with every bite. Pair it with a strong coffee, a soothing tea or a refreshing glass of homemade lemonade and you’ve got the perfect ending to your Spanish feast.
