Tiberi Bar - Review - El Poble-Sec - Barcelona - The Infatuation
"El Poble-Sec always teeters on the edge of hipness but never quite gets there. Tiberi is the spot that may tip it over the edge—or maybe it already has, judging by the fashionable, mulleted people hanging around the sidewalk while the low-level lighting and bottle-green marble bar beckon them inside like moths to orange wine. Working with mostly small local producers, from Penedès and Tarragona to slightly up the road in the south of France, Tiberi's natural wine list is diverse enough to please both snobs and newbies. And with glasses starting from €5.50, there’s no reason not to get stuck here. The food is worth a trip in itself. Their take on the Gilda—with a cheese cube and radish added to the world’s best-known pickled anchovy skewer—has achieved legendary status. There are also lots of great vegetarian options, like pumpkin drenched in velvety labneh and pumpkin seeds, and the perfectly crisp grilled polenta with fresh sage, but thankfully not a Buddha bowl in sight." - Isabelle Kliger
