15 Iconic Dishes That Define Barcelona - Barcelona - The Infatuation

"Ask anyone in town for the city’s best tortilla and they’ll say, “My mom’s place.” If you haven’t found yourself a Spanish or Catalan mom, you’ll have to go for the next best thing. It’s the potato and chorizo omelet at Cal Pep, a loud, cheery El Born stalwart that’s been around since before the neighborhood became trendy. This eggy wonder is the kind of thing we wake up craving on mornings after a heavy night: a golden, crisp exterior smothered in zingy alioli and a creamy, molten inside full of potato and chorizo, oozing goodness as you cut into it. The gooey truffled tortilla at Bar Alegria and the rich, yolk-ey Betanzós omelet at Batea also deserve a shoutout here." - isabelle kliger
