Bodega La Puntual

19 Best Tapas Bars in Barcelona, From Natural-Wine Bars to Market Stalls | Condé Nast Traveler

"Bodega La Puntual is hidden in plain sight down one of Barcelona's most tourist-trodden alleyways, namely Carrer Montcada, which also houses the Picasso Museum. Wine and vermouth are the meat and potatoes of this historic wine bar turned eating establishment. There's an ample selection of local, national and international wines by the bottle, starting from as little as €13, and more than a dozen options by the glass. In addition to all the tapas staples, like Iberian ham, Padrón peppers, and Manchego cheese, this is also the place to sample some Catalan down-home cooking. The "trinxat" of potato, cabbage, and pork with a fried egg on top is as indulgent as it gets (in a good way, of course)." - Isabelle Kliger
