🇪🇸 The best tapas I've ever had since I came to Spain

🍷 Cerveseria Vaso de Oro, Barcelona: The Tapas Spot That Restored My Faith (Sorry, Catalana—This One’s Way Better) Let’s get straight to it: This is hands down the best tapas I’ve eaten in Barcelona. A no-fuss, authentic Catalan bodega that’s single-handedly made me ditch my bias against affordable tapas spots. 💪 😲 Why It Trumps the “Big Three” We all know the hype: Vinitus, Cerveseria Catalana, La Flauta. They’re everywhere, packed, and… fine. But here’s the tea: They’re owned by the same group, and while they’re not bad? They’re nothing to rave about. After those, I’d almost given up—figured cheap tapas just couldn’t compete with pricier spots. Then came Cerveseria Vaso de Oro. Game. Changer. 🥗 The Dishes That Had Us Squealing (No Exaggeration) Russian Salad 🥗: Top 3 in all of Europe. Creamy, fresh, with that perfect zing—veggies, mayo, and a hint of tang that makes you scoop every last bit. I’d fight for seconds, no shame. Foie Gras Beef 🥩: Catalan classic, nailed. Tender beef, buttery foie, and that “fat melting in your mouth” moment that makes you close your eyes. Rich, indulgent, so satisfying. Here’s the kicker: Nothing flops. Every tapa we tried—from simple to standout—hit. No “meh” bites, no “why’d I order that?” regrets. Just pure, unpretentious deliciousness. This isn’t just a tapas bar—it’s proof the best spots in Barcelona aren’t always the ones with the longest lines. Cerveseria Vaso de Oro? Affordable, authentic, and so good, it’ll make you forget those overhyped chains. 📍 Cerveseria Vaso de Oro: Carrer del Rec Comtal, 17, 08003 Barcelona (go early—you won’t want to wait!). #BarcelonaTapas #CatalanEats #HiddenGems #SpainFoodie
