Every bar I will mention on this article worth it, but as the offer is very extensive, not all of the bars that worth to be mentioned can be here, so venture out to enjoy our suggestions and if you find a place on your own feel free to comment below this article.
We begin in one of the neighborhoods that concentrates most tapas bars of Barcelona, the Born area, where the offer is varied and the quality reaches the delicatessen level. In this area we can find bars such as Xampanyet or Ca L’Esteve (C/ Montcada, 22), a legendary venue’s on the Gòtic quarter where you can eat its famous anchovies, delicious artichoke hearts or all kinds of iberian tapas and seafood accompanied by a xampanyet, a sparkling wine that is served in a glass of champagne. On the same area we can find the Euskal Etxea (Placeta Montcada, 1), the Basque house that works as a cultural center and as a bar-restaurant at the same time, to taste the authentic Basque pintxos soaked with cider. Here are the best raw materials and an endless assortment of tapas (or pintxos), if you get hungry try piquillo peppers, or a plate of cod. Down to the beach we get into the Barceloneta area and we bump into one of the most legendary tapas bar in this side of the city, the Jai-ca. Better go there early because it will be almost impossible to get a seat (even standing on the bar) in this crowded bar. In this classic space full of jugs and personality you can enjoy seafood anf fish tapas that you shouldn’t certainly miss out, without despising the delicious croquettes and patatas bravas, of course.
