Full description

Bodega Biarritz has run since the late 19th century, and its distinctive concept — selecting a price tier for a set number of dishes and drinks before you even sit down — sets it apart from typical tapas bars nearby. At 4.7 stars from over 9,200 reviews, it's earned a devoted following for its cosy, easy-to-miss setting, often discovered after a walking tour or boat trip through the old city.

Its solid culture score reflects genuine historic roots rather than a novelty gimmick. It suits travellers looking for a small, characterful tapas stop with a bit of built-in surprise in what arrives.

Reviews

What a lovely little gem of a place after a catamaran tour. Perfect Spanish tapas and a cosy vibe. Was lovely to try some new dishes by picking from the surprise menu. The wine and cocktail was also very good. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
