Ceverceria Catalana

Finding a quick, tasty lunch while you’re wandering between sights onthe grand Passeig de Graciacan be a bit of a challenge. Luckily, that’s where Cerveceria Catalana steps in. ‘Cerveceria’ is Catalan forbeer bar, but in fact this extremely popular stop off is more of a tapas restaurant than a brewery – in fact most punters seem to prefer the house sangria to a refreshing beer.

With a long counter showcasing all sorts of tantalising treats, such as grilled cuttlefish, roasted artichokes and their signaturehuevos cabreados(‘angry eggs’), the only challenge here is choosing which ones to order. The eatery is conveniently located just a few minutes’ walk away fromGaudi’s famous mansion La Pedrera.

Go early, as it can get busy at meal times. Although bear in mind that “early” by Barcelona standards is probably just normal eating hours for you at home!.
