Was Анастасия Ершов at Barsa Taberna a mag?
After some shopping at St-Lawrence market, sat on their patio on a lovely Saturday afternoon. Shared a pitcher of Sangria - you cannot order just a glass. It was good and refreshing. Shared the Pan Con Tomate, good but have had better. Also shred some cheese and a chicken paella which was quite nice. A little pricey for lunch but overall a good experience. View all feedback.
What Erna Douglas dislikes about Barsa Taberna:
The lunch menu does not offer a lot of options. A few tapas, a few cheese plate options & a few sandwiches. Does not offer salads or many options for vegetarians. Many of the tapas options are fried. I have been to Spain and the croquettes are a poor fried imitation of the real thing. Only one choice of croquettes (tuna & jamon combined, not separate). Does not offer a jamon plate, which is common in Spain. Patatas h... View all feedback.

Amazing al fresco dining room. excellent taste and presentation, excellent aromas and preparation. interesting, friendly service.
The service was great, they were friendly and attentive. the food was good and it was a quiet one.
We came here for a fancy date night We chose to sit outside (covid19, beautiful weather) which still had a beautiful relaxed vibe. The Manchengo churros were a great dish that you didn 't know you needed. The Spanish Octopus was a plate of heaven (served on a creamy potato puree with truffle aoili!!! And the seafood ceviche was the best ceviche my gf and I have ever had. The only thing that did not 'wow ' us is the seafood paella, it was loaded with mussels (shell on), so it felt like we were eating a bowl of mussels, there were 2 shrimp and no other seafood and the rice was dry and stuck to the bottom of the pan. Overall, great dining experience and I will be back for that ceviche and octopus!
Great eating and terrace! if you want authentic Spanish eating and sangria, this is the place to go!
I've never had a more disappointing meal. We convinced our neighbours to also order Barsa for Valentine's Day so that we could have just one person pick up as we live in the opposite corner of the city. We highly recommended the seafood paella as...we had it just weeks ago. It was beautiful. They have changed the dish completely. I tried calling immediately to ask what on earth we received and no one answered. I looked up photos of the dish online and they all looked like what we had before spanish rice with mussels, shrimp and scallops. We all ordered the same thing at our reccomendation and the dish was completely black. No mentioned of a changed recipe on their website. It was disgusting I could barely touch it. It was the most disappointing expensive Valentine's meal I have ever had and I have yet to get ahold of the restaurant to ask what went wrong. Our best guess it is now made with some sort of ink. Almost inedible and not what they are known for. We wasted our money and have wasted our neighbours money on a terrible dish. We called to place the order and their was NO mention of a change in recipe or them doing anything different. Nothing. Terrible. They get stars for the calamari.
