  4. El Xampanyet

    bar

    Carrer de Montcada, 22, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona, Spain

    Doesn't take bookings and the queue is always extending down the street, so I recommend getting there when the doors open at midday. Known for its authentic tapas and I think the razor clams and the marinated pork ribs are two unskippable dishes here.
