El Xampanyet, Barcelona

When it comes to experiencing truly authentic tapas, El Xampanyet is a top choice. Stepping into this haven of marble and tiles, you'll often find it bustling with patrons at any given time. Despite the crowds, the staff remains friendly, genuine, and committed to ensuring you feel right at home and utterly satisfied.

Their tapas are refreshingly straightforward and unpretentious. From olives stuffed with anchovies to a flavorful chickpea and spinach stew, and not forgetting the iconic jam贸n ib茅rico, the focus here is on the impeccable quality of the ingredients. To complement these flavors, indulge in their namesake Xampanyet, a lightly sparkling white wine with a subtle sweetness that beautifully accompanies the rich components of their tapas. If that's not your preference, fear not, as they offer an array of other excellent cavas and wines to suit your taste.

To secure a table, your best bet is to arrive shortly before the afternoon closing or right as they reopen for evening service (reservations are not accepted). Otherwise, embrace the lively atmosphere and make your way to the bar, where you can immerse yourself in the action. Just remember to bring a hearty appetite along for the journey!
