A GOURMET WEEKEND
IN BARCELONA BY JUAN ORELLANA, SALES MANAGER IBERIA ZENISES GROUP
With a metropolitan cultural climate, exciting architecture and a food scene that rivals any in the world, the capital of the autonomous community of Catalonia is deservedly praised.
TRADITIONAL DELIGHTS
All visitors need to try ‘patatas bravas’ – probably the most well-known tapas dish. Thickly cut, fried-to-perfection potatoes piled high and served with a flavoursome sauce: just delicious. Head to La Taverna for the award-winning version.
SOMETHING NEW?
Tapas specialist Bar Cañete guarantees made to-order food and a great atmosphere, while the cosy Quimet & Quimet is another great choice for tapas - accompanied by a glass of local wine. When it comes to modern fusion cuisine, Disfrutar combines the amazing creativity of three ex-chefs from Michelin-starred el Bulli and is truly unique. Sense Pressa is a long-standing favourite. Take your pick from the daily specials and, with just a handful of tables, you will need to book ahead. Deep in the heart of the ‘Old Town’, Bar Angel has been around for over a century. And finally, Moments, run by Carme Ruscalleda – the only female chef in the world with seven Michelin stars – is the place to go for innovative, yet very Catalan cuisine to remember.
Patatas bravas.
