Barcelona’s food scene just got even better! Patara, the newest tapas and cocktail bar in town, is the perfect blend of modern elegance and cozy charm. If you’re looking for a place to unwind with beautifully crafted drinks and mouthwatering tapas, this is it.
From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by Diksha, one of the three owners, whose warmth and enthusiasm instantly set the tone for the evening. She led us to our table and, without hesitation, I let her take the reins—choosing and serving us their best dishes. And oh, did she deliver.
Patara takes classic tapas and elevates them with a creative twist, blending Mediterranean and Asian influences into every dish. Each plate is a perfect mix of bold flavors and delicate presentation, making it ideal for both casual bites and indulgent dinners.
My personal favourites?
- Chicken Katsu Sandwich – A crispy, juicy delight that’s both comforting and packed with flavor.
- Prawn Tempura with Mango Chutney – A dish that surprises you with every bite—sweet, tangy, crispy, and absolutely delicious.
For something you’d think is simple, these dishes were bursting with flavour.
Their cocktail menu is just as remarkable, featuring expertly mixed drinks that range from timeless classics to innovative signature creations. My must-try picks are the Hot Margarita and Old Fashioned.
The best part? They don’t use regular sugar in their cocktails—instead, they opt for agave syrup, a healthier alternative. Because hey, who doesn’t love a healthy cocktail? Wink wink.
Patara strikes the perfect balance between chic and laid-back. Warm lighting, stylish décor, and an inviting atmosphere make it a great spot for date nights, catching up with friends, or simply enjoying a solo drink at the bar.
Let me know if you check it out—I’d love to hear what you think!
