A Sampling of Restaurants in Barcelona

TAPAS 24:

     TimeOut Barcelona suggests this tapas bar because of its traditional dishes: oxtail stew, fried prawns, and cod croquettes, as well as its more modern counterparts: McFoie burger and Bikini (ham and cheese toastie with truffle).

EUSKAL ETXEA

    Another suggestion from TimeOut is a Basque cultural spot for "the best of the city's many pintxo bars."  Pintxo is the Catalan version of tapas.   From TimeOut: "Help yourself to dainty jamón serrano croissants, chicken tempura with saffron mayonnaise, melted provolone with mango and crispy ham, or a mini-brochette of pork. Hang on to the toothpicks spearing each one: they'll be counted up and charged for at the end. In addition to the tapas bar, there is also a dining room at the back."

LA PARADETA

     At this restaurant, you choose all the elements of your dish.  First, you pick from a pile a fresh seafood; second, you say how you want it cooked (steamed, grilled, etc.); third, you get an option of different sauces (Marie Rose, spicy, all i oli, or onion). You get many choices from this large selection of food, and it is cheap too.
