Better than Barcelona. In the last month I visited Barcelona where they do several things better than us. The metro is so smooth you can stand without having to balance. The architecture of Gaudi is stunning. They have done something about the pickpocketing. What they can learn from Englan is how to cook tapas at a reasonable price.A week before my Catalonian visit I experienced a meal at El Bareto where the food has that one quality that many restaurants miss. Attention to detail. As an example let me recomend the Canary Island Potatoes with mojo picon. Simply steamed potatoes served with two sauces, one of which was stunnng yet simple. It comprised cumin, coriander leaf salt and vinegar. On enquiry it appears that they had had to work at getting the proportions and method of combining right and now they are satisfied.I could also wax lyrical on several of the dishes but rather than that it is worth a visit to experience the cooking which is from fresh. The owner Pedro will recommend if asked and has a extensive knowledge of the wine. His brother cooks and this gives a family atmosphere. Even on a Tuesday when football was on TV there were several customers enjoying the food. This place could well be difficult to get a table on normal nights when word gets round so ring first.

Brilliant. Proper Spanish Tapas. Really felt like we had gone to Spain, especially as the owners are Spanish. Unusual wines, excellent food, and brilliant live music. No trendy decor, much more like a little bar tucked away on the Ramblas. Made other Tapas places taste like processed microwave food. And I want to learn to play guitar like those guys.Makes a change going to a restaurant where the owners and staff speak the language, made it feel much more authentic. And they actually could tell you about the wines. Great food, great fun.
Bad points – Pricey food. Limited selection on the menu. Bad waitering e.g my friends waited a long time for a piella and when it arrived it was burnt on the bottom. They told the waitress who was abscent during the whole meal (very annoying as we all wanted more drinks) and she shrugged and said ‘ok’ no sorry or anything…. Good points – it looks nice….
Too pricey for quality and portion. Limited selection for veggies, most of this unimagianative. Shame as I love tapas and seem to have to go all the way to Kirkstall to find some!
Yum!. I have to say that I really enjoy it here. The staff are always great and friendly and the food is lovely. Some of the dishes are slightly expensive for the portion size but you’re guaranteed to have a good time here!
Love El Bareto. Service the best I’ve found in this area, with all the staff friendly, lovely and genuine. Food generally brilliant, with the odd dish slightly wide of the mark (but what restaurant is that not true of?). Love it and return time after time, and guaranteed if I had to make a snap decision to go out to eat at short notice locally I’d choose El Bareto. Particularly recommend the Patatas Jefas. Lovely!
Meatballs were really good. Service was spot on when we visited. Will go back
