Tapas 24

Hotshot chef Carles Abellán runs this basement tapas haven known for its gourmet renditions of old faves, including the bikini (toasted ham-and-cheese sandwich, here with truffle and cured ham), freshly cooked tortilla and zesty lemon-infused boquerones (anchovies). You can’t book, but it's worth the wait. For dessert, try the creamy payoyo cheese. Before 1pm, pop in for superb entrepans (filled rolls) and omelettes.

There's also branches at Camp Nou and Diagonal.
