There’s plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t immediately love this place: ordering is chaotic, hygiene isn’t top priority, and just about everything is deep fried.

But people still scramble to get a table here as it’s the perfect hole in the wall for a bit to eat on the way back from the beach – even if there isn’t enough room on the table for everything you’ll want to order: chipirones, xoco, pimientos de padrón, pescaditos, the list goes on.

  • Working It

    While it used to be nearly impossible to locate a decent eatery open in high summer, this year most restaurants have cut short their holiday breaks. And this recent opening hardly closes at all.

  • Drinking Like Fish

    At a first glance, it looks like yet another formula-driven place - a formula that includes an interior by Lazaro Rosa-Violán, sushi and, sure enough, cocktails - but, as the name allures to, the fish is what really does set it apart.

  • A Summer Grilling

    The restaurant at Grec is now back and this year opens not only on nights of performances, but lets you enjoy the flame-grilled delights every night until August 2.

  • Photos: Bar Velódromo re-opening

    Carles Abellán and Jordi Hereu, the mayor, re-opened the legendary place in front of an invited audience, of which many appeared to be regulars from the early stages of the bar that opened for the first time back in 1933.

  • Waiting for Veló

    The place has been restored to its original glory by Moritz and now opens with super chef Carles Abellán overseeing the kitchen with classic Catalan bistro dishes. The original art deco feel has been revived, maintaining many of the original design elements.
