Ciutat Vella
This is where la bomba de la Barceloneta was born: a deep-fried potato ball stuffed with meat and crowned with garlicky aioli. The cramped, no-frills room fills with locals elbow-to-elbow, chalkboard menus, and paper tablecloths.
Authentic local haunt
Hole-in-the-wall gem
Old-school atmosphere
Famous for la bomba
Tips
🦑"the squid, baby mussels are so well done!!"
👨👩👧👦"Feels like eating with a big family! :)"
