🇪🇸 The TAPAS ceiling in Barcelona! You must, you must eat it

🍴 La Flauta, Barcelona: A Local-Loved Gem (Where Every Bite Hits) Saw photos of this spot and thought, “That looks amazing”—then a Spanish student raved about it, and we knew we had to go. Turns out, it’s packed with locals (so many abuelos and abuelas 👵👴)—always a good sign. Spoiler: They were right. This place is a winner. 📍 The Deets Carrer d'Aribau, 23, L'Eixample, 08011 Barcelona, Spain Walk in, and you’ll feel that “lived-in” vibe—no frills, just good food and chatter. It’s busy, but in the best way. 🗣️ Ordering Hack: No English? No Problem! Heads up: Some staff don’t speak English, but we made it work with a mix of broken English, hand gestures, and even a little Chinese. 🤷♀️ Trust me, the food’s worth the minor confusion. 🍽️ The Menu: Just Order—Almost Everything Slaps Seriously, you can’t go wrong. Most tapas are solid, fresh, and flavorful. A few standouts (and one “meh”): Beef Tenderloin with Foie 🐂: Obsessed. Tender, juicy, and rich with that buttery foie gras. Every bite is melt-in-your-mouth good—we were silent mid-chew, it’s that good. Codfish with Honey “Allioli” 🐟: Ordered twice. Sweet honey, creamy allioli, flaky cod, and tiny tomatoes—this combo is magic. Bright, balanced, and impossible to share (hence the second order). Prawns with Calamar Skewer 🦐: Their signature. Do not skip. Juicy prawns and tender squid, grilled to perfection—simple, but so fresh it shines. Grilled Red Shrimps 🍤: Solid, but basic. Good, just not as showstopping as the others. Grilled Asparagus and Mushrooms 🍄: Earthy, with a runny egg on top that makes everything silky. Nice, but not a must-order. “Malagueña” Style Squids 🦑: Crispy, with paper-thin batter—light, not greasy. Perfect for snacking. Grilled Barbecue (Beef) 🐃: The only letdown. A bit tough, like it was overcooked. Skip this one. 💸 Price & Hours ~€30 per person—total steal for the quality. Open 9 AM to 1 AM 🕒—great for early bites or late-night snacks. Pro tip: No reservations, so expect a line at peak times. We went around 8 PM, waited a bit, and got lucky with a quick table turnover. Worth the wait! La Flauta feels like a spot locals have been loving for years—and now we get why. It’s unpretentious, delicious, and full of heart. Add it to your list—you won’t regret it. #BarcelonaEats #SpainFoodie #TapasLovers #LocalFinds
