    Always such an enjoyable experience eating here. The vibe is buzzy (if a little noisy for easy conversation) and the food and drinks are excellent and arrived quickly even though it was really busy. The meal is tapas style and everything was delicious and nicely plated. They went out of their way to accommodate my vegan fellow diner by separating sauces, and the waiter was extremely knowledgeable about what ingredients were in every dish. Servings are generous and very well priced, with an equally creative and well priced cocktail and drinks list. A really great meal!

    Telefèric Barcelona in Palo Alto is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with a vibrant atmosphere that beautifully blends modern elegance with a cozy, authentic Spanish charm. The service is outstanding—friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, especially when it comes to pairing tapas with wines or sangrias. The food is exceptional. Every tapa is full of bold flavors and beautifully presented. The croquetas are a must-try, and the paella is rich and perfectly cooked. I also loved their selection of Spanish wines and the craft cocktails, which add a unique touch to the experience. Whether you’re looking for a lively evening with friends or a more intimate dinner, Telefèric offers the perfect setting. I highly recommend it for anyone who appreciates high-quality Spanish cuisine in a welcoming and stylish environment.

    An even better experience than the last as we were seated outside. On the walkway but it wasn’t too bad. The food was outstanding, tapas are indeed very small, almost a bite, but we enjoyed it all. Burrata salad gave us a bit of freshness before the squid ink paella. My first, a little salty and the rice was stuck to the pan, but overall delish. Highly recommend!

    Host at the front is extremely rude and disrespectful. Terrible way to start off the meal. Additionally, the table we were sat at was extremely small for our party of six, and the service was overall mediocre. Guess if you charge automatic 20% gratuity the staff feel like they don't have to put any effort into providing actual service. The food is quite good, but it's ridiculous how poorly they treat their customers.
    Telefèric Barcelona - Palo AltoResponded on July 8, 2025
    Hola Byron, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our host and that the table was too small for your group. We strive for a welcoming atmosphere, and it’s disappointing to know we didn’t meet your expectations. The service charge helps support both our staff and kitchen, and no additional tip is expected. We appreciate your kind words about the food and hope you will consider visiting Teleféric Barcelona again. Muchas gracias.
