Insider Intel

Order This

The house xampanyet (sparkling wine) by the glass - it's what everyone drinks. The anchovies are legendary. Keep it simple - this is about tradition, not innovation.

Best Time

Just before siesta closing or early evening. Packed during peak hours. Sunday lunch is a local scene. Closed Mondays.

Know Before You Go

Since 1929, unchanged. The house cava is cheap and cheerful. The anchovies (boquerones) are famous. Standing room mostly. Near Picasso Museum but feels local. Cash only traditionally.
