Abandon all hope of leaving sober all ye who enter here
El Xampanyet is one of our favorite places in Barcelona. It is located on C/ Montcada 22, up the street from the Picasso Museum in the center on the tourist section of Barcelona. Notwithstanding its location, El Xampanyet doesn't grovel for tourist money by making bland Disneyland Spanish food. This place is very animated with both locals and tourists overflowing onto the street. El Xampanyet is famous for its house cava which is lighter than normal cava. Poured from 1.5L bottles the cava is perfectly chilled and refreshing morning, afternoon and night (or so my parents tell me).
Worth every Euro
The only food they serve is tapas and they are simple, fresh and delicious - their anchovies are famous. The father, mother and son team behind the bar are extremely friendly.
There are few places in Barcelona where having tapas could be more enjoyable.

ReplyDeleteit's a place that we are used to suggest to our guests as well. In addiction to this I go myself with my friends, even if I found it a bit expensive.
