Just got back from Barcelona with Erica R. and we ate at some wonderful restaurants and bars. IG doesn’t let us post a billion photos, so here’s 10. I’m not a travel writer, but if you’re making a trip, any of these places are worth a visit, and a couple worth a trip on its own. 👇
…
DIREKTE - amazing flavors, ex*****on and wines.
Bodega Neus - classic tapas, wine and vermouth and so friendly!
BAR[R]A]A - delicious little details in the cooking, great wine, great people. barcelona - cool space, nice food, drinks and people
Restaurante Jamón y Vino - no false advertising, it’s in a tourist area, but nice cooking and nice people (nice people is a theme from the trip)
- a new restaurant in the city, really wonderful couple, excellent food, wine, service and all around fun place to be.
- in Eixample, amazing wine. Delicious food. I wish it was in my neighborhood. I can’t tag them, but you should seek them out.
Dr. Stravinsky - fun and delicious cocktail bar, also a The World’s 50 Best Bars
Bornès Restaurant - Carlos was great. Delicious cooking too.
bitxo_vins and El Bitxo 🌶 - we visited the new location in La Ribera, a 13thC bath house. Amazing space. The owner was tending bar. That’s how you know it’s for real. Amazing.
Bodega del Vermut nice, straight ahead tapas, beer, wine, vermouth. Just a nice place to be on an afternoon.
Vila Viniteca - really incredible wine shop. A must-visit.
Disfrutar Restaurant - wow. Such a team of pros. So nice, so creative, so delicious. Really, really amazing. Lunch is a great way to experience this important restaurant.
Lastly, F1 is in Barcelona right now, and I’m pretty sure the taxi drivers are all racers for their day jobs. 🚗 💨
