BCN Taste & Tradition in Houston is a participant in Houston Restaurant Weeks, a citywide event where restaurants offer special prix-fixe menus with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Houston Food Bank. It's a great way to try some of Houston's top dining spots while supporting a good cause. My experience at BCN Taste & Tradition was a mix of highs and lows. The restaurant has a beautiful, elegant atmosphere that states sophistication—almost to the point of feeling a bit too pretentious. Think "sit up straight with your pinky in the air while sipping espresso" kind of vibe. It's clearly a place designed for those who appreciate the finer things in life, but it can come off as a bit over the top. They’re known for their gin and tonics, which is a unique and cool aspect of the restaurant. I decided to try the squid rice with Branzino. While the portion of rice was generous, the fish itself was almost comically small—maybe about 3/4 oz. My fiancé opted for the duck, which our waiter warned us would be a small portion as well. The duck was delicious, but the portion size was indeed tiny, especially given the price point. The food was good, but I couldn't help but feel like I was paying for the atmosphere more than anything. For what we spent, we could have gone somewhere else and actually left feeling full. While BCN Taste & Tradition certainly delivers on ambiance and presentation, the portion sizes left much to be desired. If you're someone who enjoys high-end dining experiences with a side of extravagance, this might be your spot. However, it's just not my style, and I likely won’t be returning. There are plenty of other places in Houston where you can get more value for your money.

Wonderful! The experience at BCN was exceptionally good. I've previously been to their starter restaurant, MAD, and this one was noticeably more subdued, in a good way. The food and presentation was phenomenal. The atmosphere was one that encouraged conversation without overhearing other tables or feeling rushed. Several works of art associated with Spain decorate the building (a Picasso was directly behind our table) and the atmosphere was pleasantly warm without being too dark. If you drink cocktails, get one of their gin and tonics. All were phenomenal and there are no wrong choices. The entire meal was again, and the Houston Restaurant Week menu did not disappoint, featuring a sampling of options from their regular menu (too many places have a different, often inferior HRW menu). Standouts for the food included the appetizer potatoes and ham (not on the HRW menu), the suckling pig, duck and steak. All phenomenal. A bit on the more expensive side, but worth it if you appreciate fine dining. Highly recommend. (Pictured are some appetizers, including the potatoes and ham, and cocktails). Valet is not required, but highly recommended. $8 fee to valet. (The only dedicated lot is for valet). HRW menu is $55 per person not including drinks, with several upgrade options. If doing HRW, the entire table must do so, though you can add things from the regular menu. Normal menu prices vary, but expect to spend $80-150 per person, unless you are intentionally frugal ($55/per person is really the bottom end). Of course this can go much higher, especially if you add bottles of wine.

Disappointing to see BCN fall off as it has. The food the last 3 times we’ve been was not to its prior level but it has really taken a turn for the worse. The food quality was so bad this time. The “crispy artichokes” are limp, grilled artichoke hearts. Not as described. The $60+ ribeye was not high quality and overcooked. They recommended medium rare and then cooked it medium, bordering medium well. Service was still decent but not like it has been previously. They made good wine suggestions but otherwise it was unremarkable. It’s sad to see a once reliably awesome place struggling to put out a quality dining experience. Hoping they get it together!

As always, a wonderful dining experience. The food has the all-too-rare combination of being both delicious & beautiful. The service does not lack in knowledge of the dishes or in attentiveness. At times, a touch solicitous. I return because BCN is at the peak of fine dining in Houston & has been for many years now.

This restaurant has a special place in my heart & always will.... Barcelona's cuisine right in Houston! Barcelona was such a treat to visit primarily because of the food & I had the wonderful experience of taking a cooking class there, so this review is from that perspective. The place: it's in a two story home which makes the experience even more intimate and at home Wine: always go for red, add fruit...ok get the sangria is you must! Food: we did the branzino to share with patatas bravas and scallops to start & EVERYTHING was very well cooked and properly seasoned as well. Service: A1 as always, you're treated like royalty! Come alone to treat yourself, win your date over, or enjoy with friends and family!

BCN checks all the boxes. The atmosphere was outstanding, the food was delicious. Guillermo was absolutely incredible. The most prompt, professional, easy to talk to server I’ve experienced. After he walked us through every dish, on the tasting menu, he walked us through the restaurant and their art collection consisting of Picasso’s, Dali and Miro. Do yourself a favor and book your dinner reservations now.

My wife and I went to BCN last night for my birthday. We are self proclaimed “foodies” who migrated to Houston from Manhattan almost 2 years ago. Our dinner was one of our best culinary experiences thus far in Houston. The suckling pig was outstanding. It was perfectly cooked and incredibly seasoned. The croquettes were also a big hit. Definitely a must try. We also had the potatos bravas and crispy artichoke which were both solid. My Negroni was the best I’ve had since our most recent trip to Italy. On top of all of that the service was exceptional. If you’re considering checking out BCN for a special event don’t hesitate, pull the trigger. You won’t regret it.

Perfect experience for a special occasion. The food is delicious, and the service is impeccable. The dining room is QUIET, which is a delightful and welcome surprise. Even with the gourmet food and the lovely ambiance, the restaurant is not stuffy at all. In fact, Eder, our waiter, took us on a mini-tour of the beautiful art works after dinner (Picasso figures, Miró litho). Last night was my first trip to BCN Taste & Tradition, but it will not be my last. Memorably wonderful experience last night.

This spot was just ok. The service was great but we were seated upstairs and the wooden floors make the private rooms very noisy. The food was just ok - I’ve had some of the best in Spain and this didn’t live up to it unfortunately. We tried a variety of dishes and the only ones I’d even recommend are the ones with the asterisks. - Seared Bluefun Tuna and Green Obions, Eucalyptus Oil, Mushroom and Bonito Flake Sauce, and Beet Vinaigrette - Spanish Octopus Served with Potato Puree, Olive Oil, and Smoked Paprika - Patatas Bravas* - Grilled Wild-Caught Branzino with Avocado, Orange, Grapefruit, Pine Nuts, and Warm Mayonnaise Foam* - Grilled Lamb Chops with BCN Potatos, Sauteed Artichokes, and Garlic Aioli - Crispy Fillo Dough, Catalan vanilla brûlée and aged rum raisins* - “Tarta de Santiago” almond cake, homemade lemon marmalade served with sweet Muscat wine - Chocolate Molten Cake, Hazelnut, Cardamon, and Vanilla Ice Cream

Visiting Jinya Ramen Bar Midtown Houston is always exciting and never disappointing, They expanded their menu offering now delicious vegan options. I love ramen soup and selected this time ‘Flying Vegan Harvest’ - all vegan and nicely balanced from the spice level. The best vegan ramen I had. Also the dish ‘Spicy Creamy Vegan Ramen’ is a strong recommendation. Overall Jinya is a great place for eating ramen in Houston.

My recent birthday dinner at BCN Taste & Tradition was nothing short of a gastronomic serenade. Allow me to harmonize my experience for you: The Staff: Picture this—a team of professionals who waltz between efficiency and warmth. They made us feel like cherished guests in their own home. The balance they struck was akin to a flamenco dancer’s grace—precise yet passionate. Our Waitress: She was the maestro of menus, conducting a symphony of flavors. With a smile that could melt paella pans, she guided us through the culinary score. Her explanations were as crisp as churros, leaving no room for confusion. Cocktail Interlude: My initial cocktail hit me like a bullfight’s trumpet blast—strong and fierce. But fear not! Our waitress, with the finesse of a seasoned sommelier, took it back. She whispered, “What notes do you seek?” I replied, “A melody of citrus and whispers of mint.” Lo and behold, my glass returned with a bespoke concoction that danced on my taste buds. Appetizer Overture: The appetizers arrived like a crescendo. Each bite was a flamenco heel stomp—bold, rhythmic, and utterly captivating. The patatas bravas sang of smoky paprika, while the croquetas whispered secrets of creamy béchamel. Main Course Sonata: My wife’s salmon was a siren’s call—buttery, flaky, and kissed by the Mediterranean. As for my fideos with lobster, they swirled like a Spanish guitar solo—rich saffron strands embracing tender pasta. Encore, please! Dessert Coda: The molten lava cake deserves its own standing ovation. Imagine a chocolate eruption, a volcano of bliss. The first spoonful transported me to a moonlit Barcelona rooftop, serenading the stars. In summary, BCN Taste & Tradition is where culinary artistry meets soulful melodies. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s a sonnet in saffron. Bravo, BCN! Encore!

It was a good experience, the staff was attentive and very knowledgeable and the drinks were good. The food was good but not as good as other restaurants in the city that have similar price points for their per person. I'd say where they shine are appetizers which could get 5 stars but most of the entrees were par. I'd say a bit more creativity and transformation with their vegetable, rice and side options could change that

This is what bothers me more than anything. When a chef and his team is presenting an amazing offering and the service quality is not much better than a local diner. My experience from a few years back was amazing food and an amazing service- sense of hospitality and professionalism. Today it was more like “you want fries with that”. The hard part is that the food is still amazing - some of the best in city. Need someone that knows what to do to hire and train the correct staff. Also, do be classless like some of Tillman’s places - at $100+ person, don’t nickel and dime $8 out of people for valet which is only option - very bad form. Again- chef, chef’s team and food amazing- so sad what’s happening front of house.

The ambiance and service immediately set a high standard, creating a welcoming and refined atmosphere. The presentation of the food is visually stunning, each dish artfully arranged on the plate, capturing attention with its aesthetic appeal. However, when it comes to taste, the experience takes an unexpected turn. Despite the use of high-quality ingredients and excellent cuts of meat, the flavors don't quite live up to the visual promise. They're decent, but not remarkable. The textures and colors are impressive, but the taste doesn't follow through, leaving a bit of disappointment. The highlight, though, is the drink selection. The cocktails and wines are exceptional, elevating the overall dining experience. They complement the meal as best they can, adding a layer of satisfaction that the food alone doesn't quite achieve. This aspect nudges my rating of the food to a fair 4 out of 5, with the drinks enhancing the overall experience.

This is the best lamb & wine experience that I've ever had! The lamb was simmered perfectly, and this process gave it the perfect balance of flavor & moisture. The cuttlefish & rice were cooked incredibly well; the process gave them a good consistency in context and juicy flavor. The bomba rice was delicious. The desserts were well-balanced in sweetness, consistency, and taste. The gen & tonic combinations were especially effervescent & delicately crafted to give them a clean, berry-sweet taste.

I have been to the BCN twice now, both times for dinner and have already reserved for my 3rd time in November. I lived in Barcelona for 13 years and originally chose the location based on researching their website and noting the menu was also in Catalan. Bar and restaurant service is very well informed, polite and and patient . The first night, the Queen of Spain was having dinner there and still we were treated excentlly even with the extra pressure on all the staff. Food is very good with Catalan and traditional Spanish dishes. Excellent appetizers and a quality wine menu. You will not go wrong dining here and the experience is memorable.

Lovely restaurant, but the food was average. We had ravioli with Jason iberico - tasteless, bluefin tuna - Excellent , Spanish Iberia ham - seemed like it had been stored in heat, the taste had gone and it was so greasy/warm ($50) patatas bravas - 5 small mashed type potatoes with aioli sauce - the sauce was standard aioli - nothing interesting or now , shrimp special - just average and overcooked without flavour. With the exception of the bluefin tuna which was very good, the food would be what one would expect from a very basic tapas restaurant. We had G&T to start and they mixed Hendricks with lemon, this is not how you mix Hendricks. The waitress filled up my G&T with leftover tonic which further ruined the mix. The wine was ok but nothing at all special The waitress was lovely but seemed to not notice the half eaten plates and kept on saying everything is awesome. BCN in Barcelona is far superior. All in all, BCN Houston was ok but we are not tempted to return. The food was all bang average. (Traducido por Google) Encantador restaurante, pero la comida era normal. Teníamos raviolis con Jason iberico - atún rojo sin sabor - excelente, jamón ibérico español - parecía que se había almacenado en calor, el sabor había desaparecido y estaba tan grasoso/tibio ($50) patatas bravas - 5 puré de papas pequeño con Salsa alioli: la salsa era aioli estándar, nada interesante o ahora, camarones especiales, simplemente promedio y recocido sin sabor. Con la excepción del atún rojo que estaba muy bueno, la comida sería la esperada de un restaurante de tapas muy básico. Tuvimos G&T para empezar y mezclaron Hendricks con limón, así no es como se mezcla Hendricks. La mesera llenó mi G&T con tónico sobrante, lo que arruinó aún más la mezcla. El vino estaba bien, pero nada especial. La camarera era encantadora, pero parecía no darse cuenta de los platos a medio comer y seguía diciendo que todo era increíble. BCN en Barcelona es muy superior. En general, BCN Houston estuvo bien, pero no tenemos la tentación de volver. La comida era toda la media de explosión.

Great experience! Came here on a week night, and was pleased with most all things from start to finish. Knowledgeable waiters and very friendly service. Appetizers and desserts were the best parts of our meal. We especially enjoyed the grilled calamari in the avocado purée, and the cheese tray. Some of our mains were slightly over cooked (the lobster, and the steak particularly), but other than that, delicious. We sat outside on the patio which was a very pleasant atmosphere until the mosquitoes arrived, however when requested for bug spray, the staff returned in a few minutes with unused bottles of bug spray-they must’ve gone to the gas station to get it, which was exceptional service on their part. As we departed, one of our party members was very assertively and repeatedly asked to tip the valet, which the restaurant advertised via text to be complimentary. While it surely is good practice, it should remain voluntary to tip the valet, and that unfriendly experience unfortunately left a mark on our visit. (Traducido por Google) ¡Gran experiencia! Vine aquí una noche de semana y quedé satisfecho con la mayoría de las cosas de principio a fin. Camareros expertos y servicio muy amable. Los aperitivos y postres fueron las mejores partes de nuestra comida. Disfrutamos especialmente los calamares a la parrilla en el puré de aguacate y la bandeja de queso. Algunos de nuestros platos principales estaban un poco cocinados (la langosta y el bistec en particular), pero aparte de eso, deliciosos. Nos sentamos en el patio, que era un ambiente muy agradable hasta que llegaron los mosquitos, sin embargo, cuando se les solicitó repelente de insectos, el personal regresó en unos minutos con botellas de repelente de insectos sin usar; deben haber ido a la estación de servicio para conseguirlo , que fue un servicio excepcional de su parte. Cuando partimos, uno de los miembros de nuestro grupo fue muy asertivo y le pidió repetidamente que le diera una propina al valet, que el restaurante anunció a través de un mensaje de texto que era de cortesía. Si bien seguramente es una buena práctica, debe seguir siendo voluntario dar propina al valet, y esa experiencia desagradable desafortunadamente dejó una marca en nuestra visita.

The food is truly a work of art and makes me feel like I’m in Barcelona. Each dish was made with the utmost compassion. Food like this takes pure talent and love. My husband and I have always have an exceptional experience. Thank you to the entire staff for your impeccable service. BCN is a must visit while in Houston. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time as it is a small restaurant and they get booked up fast. (Traducido por Google) La comida es realmente una obra de arte y me hace sentir como si estuviera en Barcelona. Cada plato fue hecho con la mayor compasión.

BCN es una visita obligada en Houston. Asegúrese de hacer una reserva con anticipación ya que es un restaurante pequeño y se llenan rápidamente.

Ended up seating us in this tight corner space between the emergency exit and the entrance to the other room… waiters were not very welcoming and overall left a poor taste of the experience. Gin and tonics were fun, but over priced. (Traducido por Google) Terminamos sentándonos en este estrecho espacio de esquina entre la salida de emergencia y la entrada a la otra sala... los camareros no fueron muy acogedores y, en general, dejaron un mal sabor de boca de la experiencia. Los gin tonics fueron divertidos, pero caros.

Iberian ham twas excellent! Noodles in the seafood dish were a little weird. (Traducido por Google) ¡El jamón ibérico fue excelente! Los fideos en el plato de mariscos eran un poco extraños.

Los postres caseros son deliciosos y ofrecen un sabor auténtico y único que no se puede encontrar en otro lugar. El servicio de limpieza es excelente y mantiene el restaurante limpio y ordenado en todo momento. El restaurante ofrece una amplia variedad de opciones de pan, desde baguettes hasta pan de ajo, que complementan perfectamente la comida.

Minimalistic interior design, calm, cozy atmosphere. Staff was friendly and patiently answered all of our questions. Lamp chop was a special addition, not on the menu. Though they said the it’s being added to the menu, amazing news because it’s a must try and you’ll never forget it. Pumpkin soup was too thick in my opinion and shell pasta appetizer was good but nothing special to say about it. (Traducido por Google) Diseño interior minimalista, ambiente tranquilo y acogedor. El personal fue amable y respondió pacientemente a todas nuestras preguntas. La chuleta de lámpara fue una adición especial, no en el menú. Aunque dijeron que se agregará al menú, es una noticia increíble porque debes probarlo y nunca lo olvidarás. En mi opinión, la sopa de calabaza era demasiado espesa y el aperitivo de pasta de concha era bueno, pero no tenía nada especial que decir al respecto.

Located in a charming house and neighborhood, we had an enjoyable early dinner on their patio. The vegan menu was extensive! The white beans & potato mousseline and the crispy artichokes were a standout, and all the dishes complimented one another nicely. Very attentive service and bilingual waiters were a nice touch. (Traducido por Google) Ubicados en una casa y un vecindario encantadores, tuvimos una agradable cena temprana en su patio. ¡El menú vegano era extenso!

El servicio muy atento y los camareros bilingües fueron un buen toque.
