probably the most well-known tortilla de patatas in Barcelona in a<strong> restaurant<\/strong> that is unlike any other. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flashflashbarcelona.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flash Flash<\/a> was created in the 1970s with a vision of it being a space of modernity and creativity in the Gr\u00e0cia neighborhood. \u00a0The decoration is still the same now, with a\u00a0black and white interior that give off an artistic yet relaxing vibe. \u00a0Flash Flash has more than 50 varieties of tortillas with a handful of options for tortilla de patatas. \u00a0You can choose from the classic, with onion, or with Spanish ham, to name a few. \u00a0Rated as the best place to get a true Spanish tortilla in Barcelona, this place is one that you must be sure not to miss.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taktika_Berri\"><\/span>Taktika Berri<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align:

Barcelona, <a href=\"http:\/\/cookandtaste.net\/blog\/taktika-berri\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Taktika Berri<\/a>\u00a0follows in the tradition of offering an array of <strong>pintxos\u00a0<\/strong>to pick and choose from. \u00a0This bar in the Eixample Esquerra is always crowded, a good sign if you&#8217;re looking for a seal of approval but make sure that you get there a bit early if you want to beat the rush. \u00a0One of the most crowd-pleasing pintxos is their tortilla de patatas but everything on the menu is a good representation of traditional Basque cooking. \u00a0Taktika Berri offers authentic cuisine in an atmosphere that is both warm and friendly.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

\u00a0Crowded, lively, and bursting with character this bar is a place to add to your list of places to try in Barcelona. \u00a0Catalan champagne, or c<em>ava<\/em>, can be bought quite cheaply by the glass, usually around 1 euro. \u00a0You can order<strong> tapas<\/strong> to go with your cava and the tortilla de patatas is always a fan favorite. \u00a0A truly unique Catalan experience!<\/p>\n<h2

title=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/Restaurant_Review-g187497-d877654-Reviews-La_Esquinica-Barcelona_Catalonia.html\">La Esquinica<\/span>. \u00a0You will know that you&#8217;ve found the right place when you&#8217;re walking down the street when all of a sudden you see a large throng of people at the door waiting to get in. \u00a0While it&#8217;s true that you will have to wait for a table the line always goes fast and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. \u00a0Another favorite for tapas, La Esquinica can be described by locals as a bar\u00a0<em>de toda la vida<\/em>, meaning that it&#8217;s a place they will always return to. \u00a0While everything on the menu is phenomenal, the tortilla de patatas is a standout. \u00a0For an unforgettable tortilla and tapas experience, this place is worth the venture away from the city center.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"66166\"\n
