Description: Ginger, in the heart of the Gothic quarter. Has two entrances: one leads into a cocktail bar and the other, a wine-tasting bar. We also offer deliicious home-made tapas and weekly specials using the very best and freshest ingredients. Low-lighting, good music (including vinyl record nights) and a retro, mellow interior makes Ginger a bar with many possibilities: where you can choose just to sit and enjoy a cocktail, a beer, a gin and tonic, a glass of wine or sample our cooking, rated by our visitors as the best in town......

A delightful place to eat in a quiet little square in the gothic quarter. It was very warm and humid when we visited and the relative cool and calm sitting outside was very welcome. The waiter was very welcoming and attentive. Food was tasty. Gambas, patatas bravas and the sardine and avocado toast were delicious!

The Gothic quarter has many tapas/wine bars. Ginger ended up being the favorite of my wife and I. Charm galore. Great service. We had the several appetizers (the spinach croquettes were especially good) and a salad. All were great. When you need a pleasurable experience after walking around Barcelona all day, stop here for food and drinks. Highest recommendation.

Arrived late in Barcelona and after a bit of a wander decided to try this place. Considering it was pretty late the waitress was friendly, service good and food decent quality. It’s in quite a quiet square if you want to be outside away from the crowds.

The food was amazing. The meatballs are the owner’s grandmother’s recipe and they are wonderful. Service is friendly. Laid back, good tapas and very good energy.

After taking the long way home from the Cathedral, we stumbled across the gorgeous, wood-panelled Ginger. Welcomed in by polite wait staff and a pleasant bartender, we were soon informed by locals also at the bar that we were being served by 'the best bartender in all of Barcelona'.

And they were right! We had a classic Margarita & an Old Fashioned (you can have it with rye or bourbon) and they were easily the best we've ever tasted. Made with flair by the bartender (regretfully we didn't get his name!), they were gorgeous and in our opinion, very reasonable.

We didn't eat there KO, but after seeing the various cheese and meat platters, we wish we had!

All in all, Ginger is a must visit if you're in the Gothic Quarter!
