Reviews for BCN Taste & Tradition in Houston, TX
Oh, my. A true taste of Spain in the middle of Houston. The branzino, the steak, everything is absolutely incredible. BCN is... short for Barcelona. In addition to the incredible food, they have mini originals and copies of Picasso’s works as well asother Spanish artists. Read more
Got dinner here several weeks ago on a Saturday night. Recommend making reservations several weeks before. The valet, our... waiter, host staff were all very nice. Food and drink was excellent and well worth the price. The emergency exit door could usea fresh paint of coat and the light switch cover next to it could be updated. Overall, I would eat here again.

Pros: 1. Service was good 2. Some dishes were good Cons: 1. Some dishes were very greasy, I.e. the roast piglet - too greasy we... can’t eat it. 2. Portion size: are you kidding about the portion size? I got duck breast and it’s probably 1/3 comparingwhat’s normally offered at other high end restaurants 2. The interior sucks: at this price level, it’s not about the fooditself but the whole experience, including service and interior, everything you see. The restaurant was converted from tan oldhouse and apparently some part of the old house did not get converted yet: the super ugly emergency exit door and the old lightswitches. 3. Price was too high: as said above - the price did not reflect the small portion size or the improvement neededinterior. All in all, we won’t go back. Read more
BCN is truly a special spot in Houston. The service is attentive without being intrusive. And the food…. Oh my goodness. But... first the cocktails, they have taken the simple gin and tonic and elevated it to a work of art. The wine list is all Spanishwines which is interesting. We started with the iberco ham and it was served with perfectly prepared tomato bread. It took meback to Barcelona. The lamb chops were served medium rare and were wonderful as well. The food is outstanding. We finished witha serving of Gypsy’s Arm. It was a cake with cartelized sugar on top and filled with a sort of cream. The evening wasabsolutely delightful. Make sure to plan ahead as this is a small restaurant and very few tables are available. Read more
Delicious, real and authentic Spanish food. The classic home made flavours and plates but with a touch of modern, new textures... and presentations. Great experience. Author Gin Tonics were fantastic to end the dinner. Read more
This restaurant is such a classy, but intimate little restaurant in the building of a former home. My friends and I shared the... Ibérico with Toast and the Patatas Bravas. They have an extensive wine list categorized by where each wine came from. The foodwas spectacular! Their Grilled Duck Breast and Roasted Fideo Pasta "Fideuá" were the favorites of the night. We came for afriend's birthday and they graciously let us bring our own cake and sliced it up for us as well. Highly recommend getting areservation here! Read more
Absolutely ????% amazing! Everything from the service (super attentive) from Lupita and the entire staff. I have never been more... impressed throughout the entire experience. When my group walked in, we were greeted immediately with a genuine welcome. Thefood was fresh and delicious. Each dish was made with the utmost compassion. My cocktail was delightful to cleanse my palettebefore I engorged myself. I felt like I was in Spain somewhere. Food like this takes pure talent and love. I do not live in thearea and plan to return again. It was an amazing surprise to have the chef come and talk to my group. Thank you to the entirestaff this evening. Don't skip over this establishment while in town. Please make reservation at least a three weeks ahead oftime. Every single table was turned over quickly. I had to write this tonight so it was fresh in my mind. Wonderful! Read more
Traditional Spanish cuisine with an electic twist. The setting is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant is located in a 1920s... home which makes the dining experience very cozy. The service was excellent and the specialty drinks are Gin&Tonics made up ofdifferent flavors. We celebrated a small wedding reception. I will definitely be back! Read more
