Small plates, a big group, a glass of wine to go with it: tapas are made for sharing, and that is exactly what makes them so sociable. We tasted our way through patatas bravas, gambas and jamon and found the places where the Spanish way of life blends with Berlin evenings. At the Tapas Bar El Colmado in Charlottenburg, authentic cuisine comes to the table, while the Bar Raval by Gorlitzer Park in Kreuzberg goes for pared-down design chic instead of folklore. If you are looking for a holiday mood, Tres Tapas in Prenzlauer Berg is exactly the right spot. From the classic bodega to the modern bar, everything is represented. In which group will you raise your glass next?

Tapas thrive on sharing, so the first thing I look at is whether the selection makes you want to order. For this list I tasted and checked whether the small plates are fresh and prepared with care, whether the ham is of good quality, whether the wine list matches the kitchen and whether the atmosphere is relaxed enough that you happily stay longer. Real Spanish spirit is simply something you cannot fake.
