Cerveceria San Fernández

Barcelona


The family team behind gracefully old-school L'Eixample bar Dry Martini is in charge at this smart, lively, long-running spot decorated with local artwork. With tables on the pavement or inside amid hot-red walls and jazzy murals, it's ideal for elegantly yet unfussily prepared Catalan cuisine – Padrón peppers, L'Escala anchovies, patates braves, fried eggs with home-cooked chips – and creative international bites.
