<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n1. Bar Bodega Quimet<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Let’s start things off right by saying a true Barcelona-style tapas bar would be one of the many bodegas around town<\/a>. In the city, bodegas are places to drink wine, buy wine or both. Barrel-lined walls, homemade vermouth and sometimes, just sometimes, tapas! Tapas that go beyond the cheese, olives, and charcuterie. That’s what we love about Bar Bodega Quimet\u2014it has it all! Rustic interior,\u00a0vermut casero<\/em> and surprisingly elaborate tapas. This little gem of Gracia is one of our favorite bodegas and tapas bars in Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:<\/strong> Carrer del Vic, 23\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Sarri\u00e0 is a neighborhood way off the beaten path, and you know what that means! Good, authentic food waiting to be enjoyed! This gorgeous, former village is filled to the brim with great bars, restaurants, and cafes.\u00a0Bar Tom\u00e1s<\/a> is famous for their patatas bravas<\/em>, or spicy fried potatoes, which people line up down the street to try.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:<\/strong> Carrer Major de Sarri\u00e0, 49<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Suculent<\/a>, one of the best modern tapas bars in Barcelona, is the place to go if you’re an adventurous foodie! You’ll be spoiled for choice with their incredible mix of beautiful tapas. Each of them a little bit different than what you might expect from a normal tapas bar! Yet, all of them equally delicious. Try their star-dish, the steak tartare over grilled bone marrow. You won’t regret it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:\u00a0<\/strong>Rambla de Raval, 43\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Cava, the beloved sparkling wine of Catalonia<\/a>, is wonderful for so many reasons. One of our favorite places to enjoy it at its best is of course, in El Rinc\u00f3n del Cava<\/a>. This hole in the wall cava bar lies in the heart of the unassuming Poble Sec<\/a> district, and is a favorite for cheap tapas and even cheaper cava (95 cents a glass!). Even better is that they allow\u00a0media-raciones<\/em>, or half-sized tapas, in the case that you want to try them all!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:<\/strong> Carrer de Blasco de Garay, 53\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n They say there aren’t many authentic tapas bars in the Gothic Quarter<\/a>, and it’s probably true. Bar La Plata<\/a> claims to be the last standing one, and when you go there, you will see why. It is said that it is one of the most emblematic\u00a0tapas bars in Barcelona! It’s also very possible that this corner bar, which serves a total of five tapas, has not changed one bit in the last 50 years. The bar gets slammed on weekend nights, but at places like this one, it’s always the more the merrier.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n We love La Plata so much that it’s a stop on our Tapas, Taverns & History of Barcelona Tour<\/a>! Why don’t you join us?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address: <\/em><\/strong>Carrer del Merc\u00e9, 28<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Bormuth<\/a> joined the ranks of La Ribera’s restaurant scene a few years ago, and we couldn’t be more thankful. The neighborhood was in need of an ultra-casual tapas bar like this one. We love their nod at Madrile\u00f1o<\/em> tradition, something you don’t always find in these parts. Find every traditional tapa ever invented on their menu\u2014we love the albondigas<\/em>, or meatballs, and the fried eggplant and goat’s cheese is also incredible. Get there early to secure a spot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:\u00a0<\/strong>Pla\u00e7a Comercial, 1\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Jai-Ca<\/a> is a tapas bar in the old fisherman’s <\/a>neighborhood of Barceloneta. It is just the tip of the iceberg as far as authentic tapas restaurants in Barcelona go. A long list of tempting tapas include things like fried cuttlefish, Galician-style octopus, razor clams and also much more to choose from. This is definitely one of our favorite tapas bars in Barcelona!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:<\/strong> Carrer de Ginebra, 13\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A tiny gem of a place tucked away in the tidy grid of streets that makes up Eixample, Can Boneta<\/a> is homestyle Catalan fare<\/a> at its finest. You can’t go wrong with nearly anything you order here, but if we had to pick just one dish, it would be the bikini con trufa<\/em> (which, despite the name, has nothing to do with swimwear\u2014instead, it’s a gourmet take on the humble breakfast staple known locally as a bikini sandwich<\/a>). If you want to feel like a true local with every bite, go for their iconic signature dessert, which is another reinvention of a Catalan classic: Ol, Sal y Chocolate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Address:<\/em><\/strong> Carrer de Balmes, 139<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n2.
