A wine bar with the best front row in the Born: its terrace faces the rose window of Santa Maria del Mar, and its list — hundreds of bottles, a rotating page by the glass — takes Catalan and Spanish wine as seriously as anywhere in the city. Small plates of cheese, anchovies and embutidos do exactly what they need to do while the basilica catches the evening light.

Whatever is open on the by-the-glass page you have not met before, with the anchovies. Trust the rotation.
Best Time
The hour before sunset, on the terrace, when the basilica façade turns gold.
Know Before You Go
A serious wine list on the square facing Santa Maria del Mar. The terrace is small and coveted — go off-peak or be ready to stand inside at the marble bar.
