Legendary cava bar near Picasso Museum since 1929; house sparkling wine, anchovies, and tiled floors.
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.
