El Rabipelao

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Super 'tropicocktails' (€6 to €10) are the thing from the team behind Barcelona's original Venezuelan good-time bar, a zingily patterned space in the southern Gòtic, with home-cooked arepas (stuffed maize cakes) and cachapas (maize cakes, usually with cheese) to soak up fresh-and-fruity mojitos and flamed mai tais. There are several branches around town, including in Gràcia.
