Great food, I was happy to be back!Great choice of dishes for both meat eaters and vegetarians, with soup of the day if soups are your thing. Fish/mussels are awesome and there's plenty of other meat to choose from.Indoor is spacious although never sat there as they have tables out on the balcony and it's lovely to look at Princes Square's decoration, the escalators and glass elevators.Staff was friendly and attentive.

A very enjoyable lunch, the staff were very attentive. Really enjoyed most of the tapas and sharing plate but did find the butternut squash a bit undercooked for my liking and the anchovies were a bit too vinegary for me but the chorizo, meatballs and calamari were fabulous, excellent selection of cheeses and cold meat on the platter.

Barca was an unexpected treat on our trip to Glasgow. They were about to accommodate our last minute reservation on a Sunday. Our table of 4 ordered 2 plates each and it was just enough food for us to leave satisfied. I would recommend getting a little bit more food if you’ve got a big appetite. My favourite dishes were the patatas bravas and pollo empanado. With a sangria to wash it all down, we ate well and left happy.

Excellent food let down by truly terrible service with an enforced tip.Our Spanish waiter was rude and impatient, rolling his eyes as we ordered. Did not make us feel welcome, and hurried us along, especially with the wine choices. We were hoping for recommendations and instead it felt like he was a breath away from tutting at us.We were sat outside, which is really inside the centre, but it was weird having people walk past you to go to other bars while you're eating. Not a very good atmosphere really, and if we had been given a choice to dine inside the restaurant, we would have taken it.Food quality was excellent. I'd strongly recommend the scallops and black pudding, but you can't go wrong with anything here. The chorizo was delicious but definitely stays with you for a few hours.All of our food bar the mushroom dish was served at the same time. We waited about ten minutes and then flagged down a curly haired server, who told us that it's probably still coming". It wasn't. A different person came to clear our plates and when we asked again

Went with a friend for late lunch, early dinner.The staff were keen to push a drink on us before we had decided what we wanted to eat. We were given menus and while looking through the two menus the member of staff returned and took the tapas menu away giving us another one that was much higher in price. When he again reappeared I asked why he had taken the tapas menu away. He then proceeded to tell me that I had booked the Christmas menu. I told him that I hadn't I had just booked a table for two, he said I must have pressed the wrong button when I booked, I told him that I didn't press any buttons as I made the booking by phone!! He did eventually reluctantly apologise for the mistake. We placed our orders. The food was okay not as nice or as much choice from our last visit here. And the wine was extortionate! Someone came and took our dishes away.We expected someone to come back and ask if we wanted anything else like a dessert or coffee. But that didn't happen we sat for a while and still no one appeared. We decided to leave, I went through to the ladies hoping to catch the attention of someone to bring our bill but there was no one to be seen. The toilets were a disgrace, toilet paper everywhere that people had used to dry their hands and failed to put in the bin, around the sink area and floor.We eventually got someone's attention and asked for the bill, which we discovered they had put their own service charge on! Needless to say we didn't leave them anything else, they didn't come back to us so we left leaving the money on the table. It wasn't a good experience being left and ignored. The service was none existent!! We will not be returning.

Visited with my team for a late lunch / early dinner over the festive period. Restaurant was cold, service started off well but drinks service was a bit slow and I had to go to bar at one point to order drinks for the table. It wasn't busy so not sure why that was the case. The food was nice but nothing too special. The staff however are very nice and welcoming and the French martinis were amazing!!
