Step through the giant votive candle into La Alcoba Azul, a hidden hideaway in El Call. Settle into the moody, candlelit space for margaritas and a spread of tapas, ordering a few plates to share since portions vary.
Reasons to go
Full description
La Alcoba Azul occupies a small, atmospheric space in El Call, and reviewers consistently mention the setting first — the oversized candle at the door, the moody lighting — before getting to the margaritas and tapas that keep them there. With a 4.7 rating and a strong local score, it plays as a genuine neighborhood favorite as much as a photogenic stop, though its high trendy score signals it's picked up a following beyond the immediate area.
Portion sizes are reported to vary a lot between dishes, so groups tend to order several plates to be safe. It works best as a relaxed lunch or evening stop rather than a formal dinner.

We tried iberico ham, anchovies with tomatos and crispsy bread. Lemonade was amazing! Very sour and natural in taste. Sangria was very rich in flavour. Cheesecake was one of the best I ever had! Recommend this place!
