TelefèRic Barcelona

I love this place so much!!! Taylor was our waitress and she was so attentive and kind. We loved having her as our waitress and the food was amazing. Especially the crab croquetas, patatas, and the octopus. Highly recommend going here for the service, food and vibes

Genuinely wanted to love this place but left hungry and feeling dissatisfied. Entry was rerouted to the in-mall doors which may have altered my perspective, but this entry felt more like walking into a service counter versus a dining experience. We decided to come in during lunch for a much more casual vibe with a smaller crowd and were surprised at the lack of check ins during service to order more or to have plates cleaned off the table. The drinks are large - so you surely get your bang for your buck there. However, the size of our chicken kebab was a shock. I forgot to take a photo, but I genuinely thought the kebabs were essentially the size of ones you might see during hors d’oeuvres at a wedding (bite sized). With the chicken being that small, I was also surprised to bite into gristle which was unappetizing. The patatas bravas were a good size for tapas, and had great flavor combo with the salsa. I can’t say the same for the gambas or chicken however, as we felt those lacked heavily in flavor. The food in general was subpar for what we expected of the space/concept/overall price point.

The inside of this place is gorgeous, but honestly, it just joins the list of other beautiful restaurants in Fashion Square (like Élephante) that serve average food at a really high price point. We went as a party of four. The food was definitely a mixed bag. The jamon iberico was really good, though the bread for the pan con tomate was weirdly hard to cut with the knife provided. The crab croquettas were the absolute highlight for me, and the pulpo was a huge hit with the rest of the table. Salmon tartar was just decent. The biggest letdown was the paella negra. The black rice and the butter dollop were actually pretty tasty, but the proteins totally ruined it. The gulf shrimp and clams had absolutely zero flavor, and the shrimp was wildly overcooked. Not sure if that's a kitchen training issue or just how they do it, but it didn't work. I've had great tapas in other cities, and overall, the food here just felt borderline bland in comparison. The complimentary churros at the end were a great touch, though! The drinks were a total miss. The carajillo tasted off, and the "Fancy a Carrot" was way too sweet. We actually had to send the Telefèric Sangria back—the menu lists a bunch of fancy ingredients, but it literally just tasted like cheap red wine loaded with a ton of cinnamon. Service was okay but felt really clumsy. The food pacing was good and we weren't waiting long, but we heard plates crashing to the floor a bunch of times during our meal. Our waitress made two mistakes: she completely forgot the lobster tail we ordered with our paella, and she accidentally brought us meatballs instead of the pulpo. When we pointed it out, she graciously let us keep the meatballs and took them off the bill, which we really appreciated. Also, while the dining room is stunning, the women's bathroom was pretty nasty with wet floors and seats. Overall, 6.5/10. If you just want a beautiful room to sit in, it works, but this place just wasn't for me.

This place is amazing! Every thing is so good. Service is amazing! Food is amazing! Vibe is amazing! If you want the best sangria you’ve ever tried, definitely come to Teleferic Barcelona. You will be hooked.
