19 Best Tapas Bars in Barcelona, From Natural-Wine Bars to Market Stalls | Condé Nast Traveler
"So tiny it could double as a closet, this bar gives you the choice of perching by the electric-blue, marble-topped bar or squeezing yourself onto a stool at one of four high tables. Once you get over your concern as to whether your tapas-laden backside can fit on the tiny stool, you'll be ready to start the fun. You may know Varmuteo's sister restaurant, Alapar, as one of Barcelona's hottest new openings in the last few years; don't come here expecting more of the same—this place is all about getting back to basics. Everything on the menu is locally sourced and prepared in house, from the zesty, pickled mussels to the moreish "Mallorquín" toastie that oozes with spicy sobrassada, molten cheese, and honey. With drinks from $3 and dishes mostly priced around the $9-mark or below, there's no excuse to hold back." - Isabelle Kliger
