Bar Bas

Pau Arenós is probably the person with the deepest knowledge of the food world in the entire planet (no kidding). So when he said I had to try the Bar Bas, I knew there were lots of good things waiting for me. At first, I was surprised by the location, sandwiched between several tourists traps (the kind of places sadly very common in Barcelona with paella pictures in old Technicolor) but Bar Bas is in another entire different level. Very good product and very classic execution: croquetas, ensaladilla rusa, calamares, all kinds of very fresh seafood simply grilled, and an espectacular tortilla de patatas with brava sauce. That tortilla is for me the closest thing to food porn I have ever dreamt.
