The restaurant - located in the Nokes Plaza shopping center at Nokes Boulevard and Windmill Parc Drive - is a hybrid, featuring both Mexican- and Spanish-inspired dishes. More recently, La Prensa Taco & Tapas opened in Sterling. Our favorites at Barcelona include the Albondigas - spiced meatballs in a ham-tomato sauce the Bacon-wrapped dates and an amazing Olive Oil Cake topped with sea salt.
Yes, it’s part of a chain, but the Reston location is the only one in Virginia and it still has a wait every weekend. It opened six years ago in the Reston Town Center and immediately attracted a young, vibrant crowd enjoying the extensive wine selection and dishes served tapas style. The “go to” spot for Spanish food in this area has long been Barcelona Wine Bar. But when you are talking about authentic Spanish cuisine - it usually means flavors, ingredients and recipes that come directly from Spain.įinding good Spanish food has sometimes been a challenge in Loudoun County and nearby communities, but recently, some new options have appeared offering up dishes from around Spain - we’re talking things like Croquetas de Jamón (ham croquettes), Tortilla Española (Spanish omelette, pictured above) and Gambas al Ajillo (garlic shrimp). Some novice foodies might call Mexican, Puerto Rican or Peruvian food “Spanish” - and those cuisines certainly often have Spanish influences in their cooking. The idea of Spanish food and authentic Spanish dishes is sometimes confusing.
