Tired of fashion bars and “creative tapas”? L'Esquinica di Barcelona then it's your restaurant.
Away from the center and everything that is considered cool, L'Esquinica is one of those typical Spanish restaurants in the quarteire. It is in fact found in one suburb and is frequented by families, groups of friends and couples in the mood to recover from alcoholic weekend revels.
You will hardly find crowds of tourists, but it is likely that you will see several men with pouch and tank top or in winter Barça t-shirts. But in any case, the game is worth the candle. Traditional tapas, (patatas bravas, chocos, pimientos del padrón, etc.), plentiful and good quality. Correct service although quite brisk.
The place fills up beyond belief and there is often one to do long tail because they don't accept reservations.
There's a trick however, we called before going and managed to get us listed .. on our arrival we entered by queuing only for 5 minutes.
Ah, go there by taxi, the metro stop is not very close and a touch of glamor sometimes doesn't hurt.
