Recently in BCN, became obsessed with the bravas. Went on a hunt for the best ones & many are excellent. My local Gourmet shop owner & chef (Betlem, Girona, 70) was complaining that travelers are not getting the best local food so of course I asked him for the best bravas. Without hesitation he said the very best are at La Taverna del Clinic, Rossello, 155 and OHMYGOD, were they!!!! They’re heads & shoulders (and they’re quite small) above the others – very unusually done but the taste is the ultimate bravas experience. Give them a try, watch your jaws drop. XXX
The squid over fried eggs at el quim are amazing,
We recently spent a week in Barcelona and stayed only a few blocks from El Quim. After my husband ventured off early one morning while I slept and came back boasting of this little place in the middle of the marketplace (my husband was a chef for many years), we went back the next morning. All I can say is YUMMY! We became regulars at El Quim for the week we were there. I think we had breakfast there at least 5 times that week. They have some off parings that I would never consider putting together, but turned out to be delicious. Their coffee was the best we had our whole trip (just simple cafe con leche). You can also get fresh squeezed juices from just about any fruit at the nearby fruit vendors. So if you get the chance, definitely make it to El Quim!
