Opened in 1899, Casa Guinart reinvented itself a few years ago and is now one of the most well-respected restaurants serving Catalan cuisine in Barcelona. Located between La Rambla and the Boqueria Market, this establishment is highly popular among vendors as well as locals and visitors. David Moya and chef Òscar Manresa, a connoisseur of the Boqueria, bring their best produce and unique vision of Catalan cuisine to the Time Out Market.
Your Barcelona itinerary might be crammed full, but we can bet tapas is pretty high on your list. After all, for many, tapas bars are a religion – a perfect prelude to a hearty dinner or a varied feast that stands on its own. Tapas are the queens of bars and of good eating and drinking – but not all of them are worth your dough.
So where can you find the best in Barcelona? We recommend following this list of bars with foolproof tapas. Long live the tapa. And take note – it’s not an urban myth: there are still places in Barcelona where you’ll get a free tapa with your drink! We’ve sampled more jambon, croquetas and pimientos de padron than we care to admit, but it does make us experts in the stuff. Here are the best places to get tapas in all of Barcelona.
