One of our favourite places to eat in North Leeds. Fantastic, authentic Spanish cuisine with a great range of Spanish beers and wines. Always brilliant service and a cosy and intimate atmosphere. Can't recommend El Bareto highly enough, a must try for anyone who enjoys Spanish food/tapas.

Terrible service, very expensive, when I got my flan it came with chocolate on it. I don't like chocolate, when I asked them to send me a new one without the chocolate (the menu never specified chocolate and it wasn't just on the plate it was also on the flan and the fruit) they told me it was the last one. They didn't offer it to be on the house (it's not like they could resell it) and they took it away. It didn't seem like it was the last one as they were just in a hurry to get rid of us. The waiters were not very friendly and one of them hardly acknowledged us. Our food arrived in several bits rather than all at once. We made a reservation for 8pm, it was 8:51 when we were seated downstairs, however there were at least 4 empty tables downstairs next to where we we're sat. While we were waiting a group of 4 people left, so these tables must have been empty the entire time we were waiting. We ordered drink and they were placed on a banister, who's is what we were given to balance our jug of sangria on. We were only given 2 chairs when there were 3 of us waiting. The price was very high, and the fish of the day was really bland but cost £13. Overall the service was terrible, 3/10 would not recommend. However the rest of the food and the sangria was very nice, but the wait and poor service did not counteract this

I am Spanish living in England for over 8 years and this is the best Spanish Restaurant I have tried in a long long time. Amazing tapas at a really good prices. Staff really professional and quick serving. Special thanks to Marta and Maria for being so nice and their food suggestions. Definitely we will go back next time we are up in Leeds!

A wonderful evening! A warm welcome and great food! El Bareto has quickly become my favourite place to go for a night out. Always a warm welcome as you enter the cosy bar upstairs which is ideal to sit and chat whilst enjoying a beer or glass of wine. Downstairs there is another bar leading to the dining area which has a great authentic atmosphere. The food is simply wonderful and excellent value and I can personally recommend the Pollo A La Pimienta and the Tortilla De Patatas Riojana. Oh, and the Cheesecake is heavenly! They have plenty of vegetarian options available and much of their great food is gluten free Basically its superb authentic tapas served by friendly helpful staff for whom nothing is too much trouble. And if you add in the amazing live music on Friday nights why would you want to be any where else?!

Great place for tapas, food and wine have a lot of love put into them and it shows. Azucar has won best newcomer for 2010 but El Bareto makes that place look like tapas by Pizza Hut. Highly recommended

Very nice staff (attentive but not overbearing), a lovely family friendly atmosphere, fantastic food, excellent wines, sensible prices...what more could you want ?!?! We've been a few times now and the quality is consistently very high. Highly recommended.

El bareto is simply a lovely little Spanish restaurant which remains unspoilt and traditional. The food and service is just what you would expect from a family run restaurant - welcoming and delicious!! The entertainment was very atmospheric and i would definitely recommend anyone who likes Spanish food to pay this little gem a visit - you will not be disappointed!!

El Bareto feels like you're in Spain. The food and wines are excellent with great live music nights and you always receive a warm welcome. By the way it's just off the Harrogate Road near Chapel Allerton (not Harewood). Chris & Art

El Bareto is the place to be with fantastic ambience, tantalising Spanish food, friendly and welcoming staff, why would you want to dine and wine anywhere else! It's addictive...in a good way.
