Bar del Pla

The experience

A modern tapas bar and bistro on Carrer de Montcada in El Born, opposite the Picasso Museum. It updates Catalan classics, from slow-cooked pork trotters and croquettes to beef tataki, alongside a strong list of Spanish wines by the glass. The vaulted, brick-and-tile room is smarter than a traditional tasca but keeps the casual, bar-top energy of one.

Refined, contemporary Catalan tapas in a handsome vaulted Born room.
