Barcelona Tapas Bar y Restaurante
About Barcelona Tapas Bar y Restaurante
Barcelona has ’aficion’ - that means passion and knowledge and, in bullfighting, what makes you get into the ring with an irritable herbivore. The space that houses this Barcelona, the third in a continuing series, was once a pharmacy. It still has its funky antique dispensing cabinets, but is also kitted out in Barcelona’s inimitable
sunny style, including tiling, vivid hues, and the trademark lizard, inspired by a Gaudi mad masterpiece. The Conservatory areas are extremely popular, but then so is the whole restaurant. As it’s a short five minute walk from Dulwich village, it’s full of professional types, but it’s located in a residential area which brings in scads of
happy families reliving the cuisine of their latest Spanish holiday. Hora Loca is a madly good deal - we have our own little aficion for the jugs of sangria. The tapas include many familiar favourites as well as specialities from all the regions of Spain. Try dishes like the Andalusian pork and bean stew with chorizo, Galician-style octopus,
and Catalan grilled peppers, onions and aubergines. The Spanish wine list is a treat.
