Bar Bodega Quimet

Local FavouriteTNP Favorite

A beautifully preserved Gràcia bodega for house vermouth, cask wine, anchovies and the gentle ritual of an aperitif becoming lunch.

A century-old Gràcia bodega kept alive through cask wine, vermouth, deeply Catalan tapas and a room that still belongs to the neighbourhood.

A Barcelona design classic where the route through the kitchen ends beneath a glass roof, with polished Mediterranean-Italian cooking to match.

A near-century-old Gràcia bar whose marble tables, traditional tapas and neighbourhood memory survive without becoming a museum piece.
