We got coffee at this chain in the La Rambla area. I got a mocha (of course). I gotta say I’m not a huge fan, and I think the caffeine in it isn’t a huge amount.
La Tagliatella
Great Italian restaurant.
We had a pitcher of the Prosecco Sangria. It’s sweeter than regular Sangria, which I definitely like better.
We also got house bread which we mixed with olive oil and parmesan cheese. Mmmm.
For my main course, I got the Lomo Cosenza. It’s this pork tenderloin dish with a sweet thick sauce. I cleaned the plate!
Fleca & Cafe
Started off my morning with a (hot) mocha. This place served it in an interesting way, where it is layered and in a cup I usually expect a cold drink to be in.
I also got this small croissant filled with Nutella (no picture). It was insanely good!
The Alchemix
Went to this place as the last drinking stop of the night.
One highlight is that they have a page in there menu that talks about prohibition in the US, and if you shine a blue light on it, a secret drink shows up on it (it was called the red old fashioned). The secret drink was not that great though (because there was red pepper unit).
The main drink that was great (in both presentation and taste) was Beauty and the Beast. Look at the pic below!
The first drink I got was also pretty good (I forget the name, but it had white chocolate covering the rim, and some truffle mixed in it).
Esprit Chupitos
I normally don’t post about bars, but this one is an exception.
Basically they specialize in flaming shots. We got 5 of them (I only remember three of them).
The first one was the marshmallow shot, where we roast marshmallows and put out the flame in the shot before eating it.
The second shot we had was the the speedy potter (like Harry Potter) where we eat an orange covered in cinnamon, and then take a shot that was just lit on fire.
The third shot we got (kalashnikov) was a shot similar to the second, but it was with a lemon instead of orange.
The fourth shot we got (B-52) was a shot that was on fire, and then you would drink it out of a straw while it was on fire!
The fifth shot we got was the Lorenzo, where they basically light the shot on fire, they would put it out, then you would smell it, then drink the shot, then smell it again. The second time you would smell it, there is a strong kick.
Overall, this was an excellent place!
Vinitus
A great place to have tapas in Barcelona!
We ordered a bunch of tapas, but the highlights for me were the seafood salad, the clams, the calamari, and the second picture (not sure what it was called). The only thing I probably wouldn’t get again (although everyone else liked it) is the anchovies. But yea, I would get everything else again!
Many people also like the fro grois with beef (I thought it was ok).
Also, the sangria was refreshingly sweet.
