Lastly, with<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lastly, the <strong>seasonal tapas,<\/strong> which\u00a0change on a daily basis using local and seasonal produce. Of particular note, the unearthly moist chicken, spinach and wild mushroom roulade with a creamy sauce that you are likely to hope to recreate at home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you happen to fancy something a little different, <strong>Sensi<\/strong> also offers a broad selection of <strong>oriental tapas<\/strong> which are equally as delectable as the rest of the menu.<\/p>\n<div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-currency=\"EUR\" data-language=\"en\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-partner=\"shbarcelona\" data-product-ids=\"1012495,976597,996255,973990\"><\/div>\n<p><script defer src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exceptional_Service_and_Ambience\"><\/span>Exceptional Service and Ambience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Aside from the truly <strong>sensational food<\/strong>, the service is impeccable. The waiters are genuinely passionate and knowledgeable about every dish and every wine, and make recommendations for your <strong>pleasure<\/strong> rather than for their profit. The pacing of the <strong>tapas<\/strong> is perfected, to allow you to dine comfortably and discuss and savour each exciting flavour in a complementary order. The staff keeps an eye on your wine and bread, topping you up appropriately and without interference. It feels as though you are being treated as royalty with warm and understated service &#8211; every whim is catered for.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_Quality_Wine\"><\/span>Top Quality Wine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If the food and the service are not enough alone, the <strong>wine<\/strong> at <strong>Sensi Tapas<\/strong> is unbeatable. Every bottle appears carefully chosen to suit the flavours you are enjoying, and at affordable restaurant prices. You cannot go without trying the <strong>Montgarnatx Priorat<\/strong>, a Catalonian red. It is the smoothest, deepest, most delicious and meaty red I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. It is assured that it will blow you away and leave your taste buds nostalgic with memories of the rich mellow flavour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Red-Wine-Sensi-Tapas.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-64705\"><img class=\"wp-image-64705 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Red-Wine-Sensi-Tapas.jpg\" alt=\"Red Wine Sensi Tapas\" width=\"260\" height=\"195\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While this restaurant is slightly higher end, it is certainly affordable, especially when the immense <strong>quality<\/strong> is considered. If you are able to limit yourself to one bottle of wine between two then the bill should not leave you empty pocketed. That being said, a visit to S<strong>ensi Tapas<\/strong> is truly a one-off experience and you should indulge fully in the occasion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sensi Tapas<\/strong> can be found at Carrer Ample 26, 08002. The restaurant is open from 6:30 pm to 12 am. I would advise booking as the restaurant is always full of lucky diners having a truly fantastic evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What will you order?<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"64695\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 150px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <strong class=\"kksr-score\">5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\/<\/span>\n        <strong>5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">(<\/span>\n        <strong class=\"kksr-count\">1<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\n            vote        <\/span>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When staying in Barcelona, enjoying delicious tapas will become at least a weekly routine.
