Owned by four brothers, this Spanish tapas restaurant is over-the-top hospitable, offering guests a complimentary glass of cava (sparkling Catalonian wine) and a flavorful mini-croquette at the start of the meal, best followed by dishes such as octopus in garlic and expertly prepared paella.
Consider finishing with a creme de catalan, sister to France's crème brûlée, with a digestive of blueberry/anis spirits.
Located 150m north of the Red Cross, next to Studio Hotel.
Los hermanos Puigcorbé have opened a downtown bar as well, Bó, just near the National Theater, echoing the 21st century architectural sensibilities of one of the brothers. It offers Catalan sausage (bottefarra) and other bocas (appetizers).
