In my experience it is better that they aren&#8217;t very spicy\u00a0because you may not notice the other flavors.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_eat_patatas_bravas_in_Barcelona\"><\/span>Where can you\u00a0eat patatas bravas in Barcelona?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-18808 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/bravaselsayfred-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"bravaselsayfred\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g187497-d945538-Reviews-Bar_Tomas-Barcelona_Catalonia.html\">Bar Tom\u00e1s:<\/span><\/strong> If you ask any local inhabitant\u00a0will tell you that this is the most known place for serving the best patatas bravas\u00a0in Barcelona. Perhaps this legendary place of Sarria is more a\u00a0myth, but most of this myth is supported by the quality of their patatas bravas with their secret sauce, you have to try them!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BarcelonaBarColombia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>El Bar<\/strong><\/a>: This bar, unlike most, does not hide the recipe for the salsa brava that they serve with the potatoes: chopped chorizo, tomato sauce with roasted peppers and homemade mayonnaise. Go to the 118 at Calabaria\u00a0Street and enjoy\u00a0this traditional place with an innovative and creative touch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>F\u00e1brica Moritz<\/strong>: we have talked\u00a0on many occasions about F\u00e0brica Moritz, this bar-restaurant has earned its fame through an excellent menu, unbeatable customer service and better marketing strategy.
