“Had Crab Croquettes, not crispy crunchy type. The black seafood rice was nothing fancy no spark. Service is good for celebrating birthdays but a bit rush because we were actually asked to leave on time at 8pm on a Tuesday night to let table turning.”

“‼️Barbar is the perfect spot to unwind with friends or your partner after work. Every dish was a pleasant surprise! 🔺Ajillo Prawns:The absolute MVP. The prawns were fresh and snappy, but the garlic and chili-infused olive oil was the real highlight. We kept ordering more bread just to soak up the delicious oil. 🔺Pigeon Rice + Foie Gras:The ultimate indulgence. The pigeon was tender, and the pan-seared foie gras literally melted in your mouth. All the rich juices soaked perfectly into the rice, making it incredibly flavorful. ‼️Highly recommend this place for a high-quality dinner!”

“We chose BÀRBAR for the birthday celebration this year, and the entire experience was absolutely wonderful! From the food quality to the ambiance and the service, everything was top-notch. The tapas selection was fantastic—every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Paired with their excellent wine and drinks, the vibe of the restaurant was just perfect for a special celebration. A special shout-out to our server, Anu. Anu was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and energetic, making sure we had everything we needed and truly elevating our dining experience. It was a memorable birthday dinner, and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended!”

“Went for the business lunch set and got to try a bunch of tapas — everything was really good. Highly recommend the black seafood paella, and the melon mojito was super refreshing and a nice twist, especially in Hk’s humid summer!!”

“Just tried the fantastic new menu! Started with creative tapas like the rich crab croqueta, crisp fried squid, and delicate bluefin tuna. For mains, the charred deboned beef rib was ultra-tender and the yellow chicken was packed with flavor. The absolute highlights were the rice dishes—the decadent pigeon rice with foie gras and the Mediterranean red prawn paella bursting with seafood umami. Ended the night perfectly with the sweet-salty peanut & chocolate tart. A must-visit for Spanish food lovers.”

“The verdict: Watch out for plate snatchers, bring earplugs, and stick to texting the person sitting right next to you. Popped into BarBar on a casual weeknight, me and the missus fancied a change from the usual. No booking, so they sat us at the bar tables which was fair enough. Food was nothing too fancy but pretty decent. Then came the real entertainment, aka the plate ninja waitresses. Every five minutes a hand would dart between us mid sentence and swipe a finished plate or fork. I know she was just doing her job, but it happened so often I started wondering if they were running dangerously low on plates or cutlery in the kitchen. Honestly, we ordered a few bits but there was loads of room. Felt less like dinner and more like an F1 pit stop! To top it all off, the atmosphere was a bit of a mixed bag. Look, I know it’s not exactly posh nosh, but it's supposed to be a step up from Cafe de Coral. Instead, we had three local blokes sitting right behind us whose booming laughter was so deafening, I felt like I was eating at a Dai Pai Dong. If you're going to shout like you just had one too many, just go to an actual pub and save the rest of us the headache. Totally ruined the atmosphere. The cheesecake was nice though.”

“Worst Valentine’s Day dining experiencing 😡😡😡😡 Booked a week in advance for Valentine's Day, paid a deposit, and called to confirm. Nobody mentioned it was set menu only. When we arrived, the manager was incredibly rude. She spoke to us in a condescending tone, made us fee that we lied about not knowing about the set menu, and kept insisting they had notified us. I explained that my husband was allergic to seafood so the set menu won’t be ideal but I didn’t feel that we were heard at all, instead, I felt that we were looked down . Later she discovered they had been messaging the wrong number on WhatsApp, but didn't even apologize properly. The night was busy but the staff were patient and friendly except that manager. She used a rude tune to say like: What do you want now ?! That’s what we have for tonight , what do you want to drink ?! We felt humiliated to be served like this Throughout the meal she came back multiple times with the same attitude, making snide remarks. Completely ruined our special evening. Food was okay but the manager's behavior was unacceptable. I had come to BARBAR for many times including birthday , and the experiences are great and we had great memories. But seriously, after this time , I don’t think I will return. We dressed up, brought flowers and was expecting a romantic evening . However, my husband was mad at me because he thinks I made a really bad choice. We just quickly finished the meal and left within 1 hour , really ruined the whole night . I hope your restaurant can improve on this .”

“Food here’s pretty top notch, except the croquettes. It was ok, nothing fantastic. But enjoyed the other dishes a lot. Didn’t make a reservation, walked in but they managed to sit us at the bar.”
