There are hundreds of tapas bars in Barcelona so our mission to suggest ones we liked the most is not an easy one. We highly recommend Bar Mut in Eixample, a mix of tapas place and full restaurant. Actually, don’t miss it! There is no fixed menu since the staff likes to take advantage of the best and freshest produce available (how delightful!) and specials are always shown on a chalkboard, or announced by the waiter. The friendly waiting staff told us that, in general, the classics are usually on offer. Try any of the delicious dishes such as the octopus with potatoes, grilled shrimp, wild mushrooms, morcilla as well as fancier choices such as the tenderloin with foie gras or shrimps on egg yolk (sounds odd but it is amazingly good and a signature dish). In our latest visit the mussels and clams were simply divine. If dessert takes your fancy, go for the pain perdu or one of the locally sourced fresh fruit ice creams, superb!
