"Standing out in stark contrast with the neighboring dive bars (perhaps to be expected when your name is "against the current" or "against the tide"), Contracorrent is a tiny gastronomic gem in an area with little else to recommend it. The tapas menu is scribbled on a chalkboard, and, while it changes with the seasons, standouts like the deeply satisfying roast chicken-based twist on classic Russian salad and the steamed mussels with ginger and tapioca have already achieved legendary status. Come for a taste of local Barcelona life and local Catalan wine at an affordable price point." - Isabelle Kliger
