We celebrated my birthday here. It’s been quite a while since we have chanced a nice restaurant thanks to Covid. We wanted something special and unusual and this did not disappoint. We opted to go on a Monday early to avoid crowds. All of the...staff was amazing and catered to us, making us feel special. The meal was excellent from the pulpo to the cuttlefish ink pasta to the dessert. Plus the Viura wine recommended was perfect for our meal. I overheard a young birthday women near us exclaim that she was so glad they had come. Me, too!More

The entire evening was amazing! We were in town celebrating my wife’s birthday and Mario ensured everything was great! From the appetizers I strongly recommend the pulpo a la gallega and from the main dishes either the cochinillo or the rabbit! Will definitely come back...to BCN next time we visit Houston!More

We don’t have any Barcelona-style restaurants in San Francisco, so BCN Taste & Tradition was at the top of our dining list for Houston. It lived up to our high expectations. We both had the bacalao (salt cured Spanish cod) for our mains, mainly because...we’d never had it before. It was delicious The restaurant is in a Spanish-style house in Montrose, a residential neighborhood. The attractive interior is filled with major works of Spanish art and a buzz of excitement. It’s a dressy restaurant; most of the diners looked spiffy.More

I really enjoyed this beautiful little restaurant, I love how it’s tucked away but when you walk in it has this wonderful ambiance. The food was amazing, I love the Vegan menu options (for my husband) and the staff were really attentive.

Tough to get a reservation so with 1 week lead time had to eat at 5pm for a table in the dining room...which was fine by us. Alternatively, there is a very nice outdoor patio; could also eat at the bar which didn't look very...comfortable. Very nice ambience and service was excellent; good date/romantic place; noise level - quiet. Food was very good but a bit "fussy"; any time I see "foam" as part of description of dishes my eyes roll - pretty but adds nothing in my opinion. They tout their extensive selection of gins. We had gin & tonics which were good but not extraordinary. Wine by the glass was good and a generous pour - red wine temperature was perfect. Despite the excellent service, when we made reservation on line we were asked if it was a special occasion - we answered yes - a birthday. When we checked in, we confirmed with hostess that we had a birthday guest. When our waiter told us that the next day was 8th anniversary of their opening we said it was also my wife's birthday. The birthday "status" made no difference - a couple of tables near ours seemed to get some special dessert with a little candle.......not us. Why did they bother to ask? We didn't let this minor annoyance spoil an otherwise lovely dining experience.More

Good food but I was a little disappointed. We had octopus and potato as appetizers. Both were good and the potatoes were covered for aioli. For main dishes we had Menorca lobster, a vegetarian medley and salmon. No one complained but none of us raved...either. We have eaten in many restaurants in Spain that were better and certainly cheaper. The staff is very attentive. The gin and tonics were judged as excellent with very nice presentation.More

Everything in this place is amazing. Since the service to the main dishes and cocktails. It was full when we went there even during the week, so you need to do a reservation. It is an expensive place but it deserves it. All the ingredients...and dishes are completely from Spain. Really good option if you are visiting Houston.More

Out of the ordinary GOOD , we dined here and were very impressed. Nice clean place, white tablecloths, good bar, excellent service, interesting menu, really great food. Barcelona style Spanish dishes are excellent. Servings are small, we shared and got several things, all were great....We hope we can return soon.More

We had a family dinner for 5 and once again we were not disappointed. Food/Service/Quality we exemplary. We spent 3 hours+, starting with a tapas run of 10+ appetizers and salads then after a short conversation period we moved on to the main courses and...desserts. We had the Gramona Gran Reserva for all meals and highly recommend it. It was a great choice moving through all the courses. I cannot fault any of the dishes except we ordered way too much food but it was our first outing in a long while as a family and decided the night would be our early Mardi Gras...Thank you Jerry for a marvelous evening and a BRAVA for Crystal and her exceptional attention/service she provided us. Lastly, if the Razor Clams are available, we HIGHLY recommend them!More

Off the hook outstanding! The entire staff was engaged, attentive, and accommodating; the food and drinks were all superb! This was our first visit to BCN, our server was Jesus who made selections for us at our request. His description of menu options was intoxicating,...his choices hit the mark at every turn. Jerry, one of the managers overseeing all of the moving parts, went out of his way to welcome us and make us feel at home including a personal tour of the facility and the beautiful pieces of art that adorn the property. This dining experience was one of the finest my wife and I have had in our 60+ years on this planet!More

My wife and I dined here not long after they opened 5 or 6 years ago and loved it. Not sure why it took so long to come back, but I'm sure glad we did. To start with, we made a reservation for the patio...when the patio was full. The team at BCN are so gracious and accommodating that after begging and pleading we agreed to an early seating provided we don't stay for over an hour and a half as there was a reservation for the table; very reasonable. To start with, I ordered the Ultimate Gin & Tonic; wow, just amazing, best G&T I've ever had! My wife had a lemonade that was also amazing. We like to just order tapas so we can try many different things and that's exactly what we did. We started with the jamon iberico and tomato bread and it was sooooo good. This is the real deal jamon iberico that just melts in your mouth. Then the garlic shrimp, also just fantastic, then the octopus that was perfection, probably the best octopus I've ever had. We then ordered the anchovies cantabrico, amazing, soft, creamy, briny goodness, then the seared foie gras, wild berries and cassis reduction, oh my word, heaven on a plate, such a beautifully combined plate. We finished with the chocolate ganache, just incredible (see pic and you'll know what I mean), decadent, rich, sweet, salty deliciousness!! Overall you cannot beat this restaurant from the service to the food to the atmosphere. BCN comes with my absolute highest recommendations.More

Unheralded gem hidden away in midtown Houston. Wonderful gin & tonic menu to start, followed by excellent food and service, all in an atmospheric old converted house. We met a lot of "regulars" there, and I can see why....we are now one of those!!
