I celebrated my birthday at RAO Restaurant, and it was an amazing experience! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Spanish flavors with fresh ingredients. The paella was rich and flavourful, and the tapas selection was fantastic. The service was attentive and friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great Spanish dining experience!

RAO restaurant in Barcelona is a must-visit for tapas lovers, offering an unforgettable blend of creativity and authentic flavors. The warm, inviting ambiance was made even better by the owner, Fuco, who started this gem post-Covid and took the time to personally connect with us. His genuine hospitality and passion for his craft made the experience exceptional. Every dish reflected care and love, making RAO a standout dining destination in the city.

We were warmly received. After this the dishes were explained by a very friendly waiter (all the staff were very friendly and enthousiastic). All the dishes, tapas with a twist, we had were great in taste and looks. The deserts were also very creative and tasty. If you like your espresso martini, have one here. We brought our 85- year old mum and she said that it felt like a proper night out and she was right!!! Thanx!!!

My 2nd time here one year apart, just as amazing as the first time, waiter recommendations where flawless and the cocktails (especially the espresso martinis) where unreal. Couldn’t recommend this place higher, top 3 restaurants I’ve been too. When it comes to value for money, flavour and service.
