La Vinya del Senyor

This hidden place is a must-​visit for sure! A lot of wines with high quality tapas. Super tasty! Locals love coming here. Not touristic, which I love about this place. Located in El born with a lot of cute shops to visit beforehand!

Cute wine bar in Barcelona that overlooks the Catalan Gothic church, Santa Maria del Mar.
The wine list is very impressive, but the tapas were just so-​so. The jamon iberica was on the tough side. Maybe it was just sliced too thick to chew? I also did not care for the tuna belly. I didn’t realize the tuna was cured when I saw the dish on the menu. The dish reminded me of fancy canned tuna and cost 12 euros. The roasted vegetables were the only redeeming tapa. Prices are higher than other tapas bars, but expected since you are overlooking the gorgeous church.
Come here for the wine and the view, but skip the food.

I’m a little disappointed with this place. It used to be so intimate with wonderful service and now the terrace has been overtaken by the restaurants around this bar. Also, this has been the second time I’ve been and the staff is not very well informed on anything, what wine is seco vs semi seco. It appears as though the staff is new? He couldn’t tell us about the olives that they carry. :(We had glasses of wine each and olives. A place for tourists, yes. A place for locals: no.

Great little spot. Outstanding selection of wines and cava.
The tapas menu is limited, but good.
The cheese board is great.
A little pricey, but what’s a great location across from the Santa Maria basilica!
Heading there again later this week.

Sympathique bar à vin du Born situé à l’ombré de l’église Santa Martia del Mar, vous y trouverez un large choix de vins, ainsi que des tapas.
Le bar est discret et se cache entre adresses à touristes. Attention de né pas vous installer par erreur sur la terrasse du voisin!
L’établissement est tout a fait charmant, exigu mais cosy et le service est très prévenant. Playlist musicale en adéquation avec le lieu, Gainsbourg y a eu toute sa place.
Le choix en vins est très large, malheureusement le choix pour les vins au verre est plus restreint.
Les portions de tapas sont faites pour accompagner le vin (quelques olives, du jambon …): parfait pour l’apéro mais mettez vous bien en tête que ce n’est pas un bar à tapas où venir y manger.
Pour les prix, c’est dans la norme.
En somme, n’hésitez pas à y aller pour un apéro posé avant de déambuler de bars en bars dans le quartier à la nuit tombée.

Very nice wine bar with select local wines and tapas around wine tasting. Carefully picked wines and ingredients worth every penny. Must go for wine lovers in Barcelona. Great place to just have a drink or meet friends and have a tapas dinner. Staff very nice and helpful. Crowd nice and trendy. Great location in the Born barrio.

Nice place to stop and share a bottle. Of course it’s a tourist spot but they all are in this area of town, so sit back and enjoy the view the setting couldn’t be better. Staff is nice and informative. i can’t say much about the food because we had wine and cava.

My new favorite spot in Barcelona! Food was great, Iberian ham, roasted peppers, olives. Great non-​smoking section upstairs. Very nice right across the street from the church of Santa Maria Del Mar. My wife had a glass of Cava my dad and I had a great local red.

Great lunch. Great food. Great wine. Great view. Great price.
Came here based on Unilocal.I’ll take Unilocal over TA for food advise every time!

He ido solo una vez y me tome una tapa y un vino pero me parecio un sitio con mucho encanto aunque un poquito caro.

Yes, you’ll pay a premium to eat and drink somewhere as delightful as this, but hey it’s just money — right?
Head upstairs via the tiny spiral staircase and if you’re lucky you will be able to score the only table that sits in the window overlooking the square below. Order a glass of cava, perhaps a nibble or two, and take in the scene that unfold downstairs.

They gave us some old wine and old cava. They need to throw out wine. My guess is 1) they don’t realize my palate knows better and 2) they won’t see me again. It’s sad actually as I was looking to spend and relax because of the warm weather.

Fantastic wine bar with a great selection of cava and wine. Beautiful hangout without a touristy feel.

This place was great for outdoor seating. We enjoyed Cava and a few tapas in this little square in front of the Santa Maria church. This little area was packed with good people watching and it was a perfect place to take a break after touring the Gothic Quarters. We enjoyed our rest so much we ended up sharing a couple bottles of Cava before heading out again. I definitely recommend a visit.

It is still the best bar in Barcelona. They have awesome selection of wines. Some of the best quality tapas I ever tried in Barcelona. And the location — just down the magnificient Santa Maria del Mar cathedral — is unbeatable!

In the heart of the hackneyed, narrow and beyond romantic streets of Barcelona’s Gothic quarter is a square dominated by the cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar. After taking in the beauty of the church’s entrance, be sure to do a 180 degree spin… and behold La Vinya del Señor, a charming wine bar serving some of the most delectable morsels and wine that we enjoyed on our weeklong stay in the city.
This tiny, two-​level venue (climb a narrow circular stairway to access the second floor) was filled to capacity at the time of our Sunday night visit, around 9:45pm. Five of us snagged the only outdoor table remaining, and we settled in to watch hip city folk out for an evening with friends, or couples lingering over small plates, small talk, and the ubiquitous glasses of wine that are at the center of Spanish social life. With a setting this evocative, it’s almost a crime not to come here with a significant other; I arrived with a merry band of friends instead, but made a mental bookmark to return someday with the Mister.
We shared a bottle of dry cava rosado and several plates of interesting tapas ranging from olives to cheeses, jamon iberico, chorizo and sausage. Each dish was rich and amazing: «just enough» bites that took the edge off of meandering for miles through this beautiful and ancient city, without being overly filling. The entire experience totaled only about 12 euro per person: well worth it, not only for the outstanding food and wine, but also feeling as though you’re in an enchanting dream-​movie.
The only thing keeping this review from five stars is the somewhat begrudging reaction we got from our server as we took our seats about twenty minutes before the kitchen closed, and thus had to place our order quickly. For a VERY nocturnal society, the place does roll up the rug a bit early on Sundays — but then again, many other places are closed altogether on this day. As we left at 10:30pm, our seats and table were practically pulled out from under us as the waitstaff scrambled to shut down. I felt rushed (not unlike lunch at home during the workday, except with wine!), and that the staff was less than happy to see us. I understand the desire to leave work after a long day (story of my life). But at the same time I felt this to be completely at odds with the long, lingering Spanish dining experience. Come on, people, we’re tourists with money to spend: fake it a little.
I envy those reviewers who got to experience La Vinya del Señor the proper way: over an entire languid, delicious and carefree afternoon or evening, without a single thought given to the tick, tick, tock of the nearest clock tower.

Great wine knowledge which was amazing due to their extensive wine list. Employees were friendly and pretty entertaining. I love the spiral staircase and wine written under the stairs and on the mirrors. Beautiful on the outside as well. The owner also has a wine shop around the corner that is jaw dropping.
We sat at the bar and ordered some chorizo, tuna with almonds, grilled veggies, and the small bites. All very very tasty! They even gave us great recommendations for other places to visit while we were in town.
Perfect place for people watching, too!

Of all the visions, fantasies and expectations I had of dining during my trip to Barcelona, La Vinya del Senyor met or surpassed each and every one. We just happened upon this teensy little tapas bar during a late night stroll through Barrio Gotico, just as we exited a narrow, stone-​paved street into the square near Santa Maria del Mar, one of the most impressive (and oldest) Gothic Cathedrals I have ever seen.
There were several tables outside, but we went in and sat at the bar, where an extremely kind young woman helped us select a cava (go for rosado — a very interesting rose variety of cava) and a trio of tapas to compliment it. The jamon ibrico was the best I had during my 10 days in Barcelona, no doubt. It was sliced so thinly, the delicate marbling throughout the pork actually melted in my mouth, and the flavor was that beautifully grassy, earthy, pure deliciousness that can only come from perfectly-​cured and cut jamon ibirico. With the jamon, we had a sampling of Catalonian cheeses, all of which were superb — one creamy like a brie, one tangy and firm like an aged goats cheese, and one slightly moldy sheep’s milk cheese, similar to Humboldt Fog. WIth that, we also got a generous bowl of mixed olives — super-​flavorful, tender and juicy.
We stayed at that bar for hours, savoring our Catalonian treats and chatting with the bar maid. There was no rushing, no crowding, no hovering. The cozy space was very intimate, and I could tell it was just as old as the city around it. I loved it, and can quite confidently say that this was my favorite tapas spot in Barcelona, hands down. Not to be missed!

Ya habéis comentado que tiene quizá la mejor terraza de la ciudad, pero es un arma de doble filo que hace que se agolpen guiris a porrillo corriendo como pollos sin cabeza blandiendo guías y máquinas de fotos.
Yo os recomiendo que os apalanquéis en una de las dos «mesas» diminutas incrustadas en la fachada, justo al lado de las dos puertas del local. Son para estar de pie y tomarse unas copillas rápidas. Y es que, pese a que la selección de vinos es también de las mejores de la ciudad, la de tapas no llega a la altura. Son cariiiisimas y no valen la pena. Los vinillos también son una clavada, pero si sois unos cuantos, se diluye el sablazo.
Resumiendo:
–De pie
–Copa rápida o compartid botella
–Nada de tapas
–Echadle un vistazo a la maravilla que tenéis delante (l@s guiris no, ¡la iglesia!).

Was für ein Platz! Die Bar ist zweitrangig, sie könnte es jetzt noch vermasseln, tut sie aber nicht.
Die legendäre Cathedral Santa Maria del Mar direkt gegenüber wird man hier bei Wein, Eis, Erdnüssen, Oliven oder einen Toast oder Salat tolle Stunden berbringen könne: Die veilseitigen, oft irren Leute Barcelonas beobachten, Zeuge von Hochzeiten werden, Clowns und andere Witzfiguren beobachten. Versinken. Guten Wein trinken. Schwärmen. Der duft von Bohnerwachs und Spießigkeit ist ganz ganz weit weg.

Enfrente mísmo de la Iglesia de Santa María del Mar, en el barrio de El Borne; una zona de moda en la ‘movida barcelonesa’, se encuentra este establecimiento de vinos y cavas llamado La Vinya del Senyor.
Una muy buena selección de vinos, cavas y champagnes para ser acompañados de buenas tapas de jamón ibérico y quesos.

Small, cramped, busy. Lots of wine, not a lot of tapas, its more of a meeting place for a couple of drinks and very quick eats, while moving on to something else. Expensive.

Le gros atout de ce bar à vins: sa carte des vins, un minimum me direz-​vous pour un bar à vins. Certes !
Le deuxième: son emplacement dans le Born et les tables installées à l’extérieur sur la très jolie Plaça Santa Maria avec comme toile de fond l’église du même nom. Déguster un bon verre de vin dehors à 23h00 passé, mi-​mars, c’est un petit bonheur que l’on apprécie.
Le troisième: l’affabilité du serveur.
Les moins maintenant: le rapport qualité-​quantité-​prix Nous avons retrouvé notre Penedès favori plus cher ici d’au moins 7 à 8 euros que chez Quimet&Quimet ou au Café de l’Académia et certaines portions sont à la limite de l’échantillon (pas le prix cependant). Bonnes d’ailleurs mais il faut alors déguster à petites bouchées pour né pas faire gonfler l’addition.
Un peu le sentiment donc de frôler l’attrape-touristes J’hésite entre 2 et 3*, ces sera 2 au final par comparaison avec d’autres bars.

Si eres un apasionado del mundo del vino y buscas desesperadamente sitios a copas donde poder probar novedades, descubrir caldos de otras regiones sin dejarte media nómina en botellas inaccesibles, éste es un buen lugar, situado además en un emplazamiento privilegiado: justo delante de la iglesia de Santa Maria del Mar, en el corazón del Born. No es un lugar barato y a menudo en un local tan pequeño, tan lleno no es fácil tomar el vino a su temperatura adecuada, lo que es una pena con algunas propuestas. La selección es muy interesante, y es que no podía ser de otro modo ya que Quim Vila, uno de los grandes de la distribución del vino, forma parte del proyecto. Sin duda, a pesar de los pesares, es un buen lugar para hacer parada y disfrutar doblemente en la terraza: un buen vino en el paladar y una de las vistas con más encanto de Barcelona.

Pablo me llevó hace años hasta este lugar, como él es chef y sé que conoce buenos sitios me dejé aconsejar. Desde entonces he vuelto muchas veces. Es cierto que estar justo en frente de Santa María del Mar ayuda, sin embargo poseen una carta de vino muy extensa con sibaritismos y tapitas de primera calidad que redondean la experiencia, eso sí, si no tienes problemas en llenar tu cartera, porque los precios pican y las copas llevan medidas, no sale para nada a cuenta tomarse tres copas de vino, en ese caso siempre mejor la botella. Mi favorita es la mesita del piso de arriba junto a la ventana, desde allí puedo observar la gente pasar, escribir e imaginar. En veranito y con amigos o un amor mejor la terraza.

Aquí he vivido mi experiencia iniciática en el mundo del vino con un Borgoña que sabía al chocolate de hacer a la taza que mi madre guardaba en el cajón de la cocina… en fin. Es la historia que siempre cuento! Adoro este sitio. Allí llevo siempre a la gente a la que quiero. Me da igual el precio. Me da igual el pijerío, el turisteo, me da igual absolutamente todo. Abrir botellas de cava durante toda una tarde sábado con mis viejos amigos de visita, en su minisalita de arriba, cara a cara con la fechada de Sta. María del Mar, hablando de boxeo, del desierto y de Cervantes, no tiene ni precio ni estilo social ni nada. Sólo es amor, burbuja y sensaciones. Me gustaría ver más cinturones de pinchos degustando vinos interesantes en este sitio, pero por alguna razón el universo conjura estructuras sociales rancias y soberamente planas.
Recomiendo ir a la Vinya con tiempo, con amigos, con algo de dinero y con ganas de abrir botellas y compartirlas! Con amor por la vida, en su más obsoluta y sencilla expresión de sol, tierra y tiempo, que es el vino!

Was soll ich da nach sagen. Man kommt aus einer der schönsten Kirchen in der Stadt (Santa Maria del Mar) und blickt direkt auf den Platz und auf diese wunderbare Weinbar.
” vins i platillos «
Nehmen sie sich etwas Käse oder Wurst zu der grossen Weinauswahl.
Ich hatte 2 Glas (14cl) Terras Gauda und Secallona für EUR 15,35.
Sehr gut ob drinnen oder draussen.

Bin ich wirklich der erste Qyper, der diese zauberhafte Weinbar beschreibt? Scheint so…
Getreu meinem Leitspruch «…das Leben ist zu kurz um schlechten Wein zu trinken…» bin ich ja immer auf der Suche nach schnuckeligen Weinbars und Vinotheken. Auch in Barcelona. Nach einer wenig erfreulichen Erfahrung ein paar Tage vorher, haben wir bei unseren Streifzügen durch die Stadt das «la Vinya del Senyor» an der Placa Santa Maria entdeckt. Nachdem die namensgebende Kirche in der Mittagszeit geschlossen hat (siehe mein Beitrag dazu), haben wir die Zeit genutzt, hier ein gutes Glas Wein zu trinken. Ach was, nicht eins, zwei ;-). Diese Weinbar hätte absolut das Potenzial, mein Lieblingsplatz in Barcelona zu werden, um guten Wein zu trinken, und dabei einer anderen Lieblingsbeschäftigung nachgehen: Leute gucken :-) Man sollte hier wirklich sein Plätzchen suchen, seinen Lieblingswein oder Cava aussuchen, und mit einer guten Zoomkamera Beobachtungen anstellen. Kostenlose Unterhaltung (abgesehen vom Wein natürlich) ist garantiert. Echt genial.
Zum Ausschank kommen eine Vielzahl spanischer, aber auch internationaler Weine. Glasweise (kleines Glas, grosses Glas), oder flaschenweise. Die Preise sind durchaus erschwinglich, wenn man nicht gerade eine Flasche Château Petrus aufmacht (da wäre der Preis dann schon knapp unter 2000 Euro): glasweise gibt es die Weine zwischen 4 und 12 Euro, gute Flaschen gibt es schon ab 25 Euro. Und wie gesagt: als Gratisdreingabe dazu die Bühne auf der Pl. Santa Maria del Mar, direkt unter der strengen, hoch-​gotischen Fassade der tollen Kirche.
