15 Best Wine Bars in Barcelona
"Part bistro, part your best friend's dining room, Bandini's has a distinct neighborhood feel. With 10 tables and a few bar stools plus the outdoor terrace, it lends itself equally well to stopping in for a cheeky glass of wine after work as it does to sticking around until long past dinner time. The natural wine craze is in full force in Barcelona, and few places keep the city's natty addicts as well-hydrated as Bandini’s. With Catalonia making its name as one of Europe’s leading natural wine-producing regions, it’s no surprise that a lot of what’s on offer is local, with some added options from further afield (France, especially). It’s also a restaurant in its own right: While Carmen from Andalucia keeps the glasses clinking in the dining room, Povel from Sweden is spinning the plates in the kitchen. Povel’s recurring seasonal classics include the cavatelli with oxtail, black pepper, and mushrooms, and the just-sweet-enough Eton Mess meringue with lime cream and pistachio crumble for dessert." - Gemma Askham
