Ciutat Comtal

★ 4.4 (23,268)$$ · Mid-range

With over 23,000 reviews and a very high must-see score, Ciutat Comtal has become one of the default tapas stops in Eixample, the kind of place recommended so often that it's rarely quiet. The honey cod comes up repeatedly as a standout, ordered twice by more than one reviewer, alongside grilled squid and churros for dessert. Its zero hidden-gem score is no surprise given the volume of visitors it attracts daily. It rewards patience with the crowd more than a search for an undiscovered spot.

What people say

"Ciutat Comtal did not disappoint! We ordered the grilled squid, honey cod (so good we got two!), churros, and the torrijo. Everything was absolutely delicious. Fave is the honey cod which stoodout: perfectly cooked, flavorful, and memorable. Great food, lively atmosphere esp with our kabayan waiters, and definitely worth the visit. Would happily come back!"
