Betlem - Review - Eixample - Barcelona - The Infatuation

"Situated in a residential area on the quieter side of Eixample, this tapas bar is the kind of neighborhood spot that everyone coming to Barcelona for the first time hopes to find but rarely does. Everything, including the short list of wine-by-the-glass, is affordable, the staff is friendly, and it’s just one of those places where you’ll want to spend as much time as possible. Grab a stool at the window inside or one of the outdoor tables and order a few staples like fried calamari and Iberian jamón croquetas. Betlem also serves creative specials like steak tartare with smoked eel, and an omelet with black pudding and seasonal mushrooms, if you feel like mixing things up." - Isabelle Kliger
