Jai Ca

If you want to get into Tickets, plan your reservation very far in advance. It's an excellent tapas restaurant with very fun vibes.

For old school tapas and vermouth, head to Bodega 1900.

Tapas 24 is a touristy but still quality tapas spot.

Another Barceloneta tapas spot. The speciality at La Cova Fumada is the bomba (a “potato bomb").

Quimet i Quimet is a famous spot for conservas and montaditos. Be prepared to eat them in the middle of the street.

Although it can be gimmicky, Cal Pep is very good. You'll probably see a lot of tourists, but you'll be distracted enough by the good tapas to care.
