"Barrafina is a brilliant tapas restaurant that makes some of the best Spanish food around. You sit at a very expensive-looking marble bar to watch your very expensive food being prepared. Whatever occasion it is - a ‘casual’ date, or bringing friends from out of town - a dinner here will knock it out of the park. There’s a very good chance there’ll be a queue, but make like the regulars and order a glass of cava and some of their fantastic bar snacks while you wait." - rianne shlebak
