Barcelona | Eat Spanish tapas to new heights

🍽️ Gresca, Barcelona: A Tapas Revolution (Global 50Best Discovery, and It Shows) This spot isn’t just a tapas bar—it’s a masterclass in reimagining tradition. Named one of the Global 50Best Discoveries, Gresca takes classic tapas and lifts them to new heights, wrapping it all in a vibe that screams “modern cool.” ✨ The Vibe: Retro-Meets-Modern, With a Side of Fire The space? Equal parts vintage charm and sleek modernity—think warm woods, clean lines, and an open kitchen that lets you watch the magic happen. 👨🍳🔥 Charcoal is the star back there: most grilled dishes get that smoky, depth-of-flavor boost from live fire, and you can practically taste the care that goes into each plate. 🥬 Veggie Starters: Simple, but So Thoughtful Their vegetarian small plates? Solid, with little sparks of genius: Charred cabbage heart, doused in a zesty sauce—tastes like a Spanish twist on “stir-fried greens” (in the best way). Fresh white asparagus (in season!)—bright, crisp, letting the veggie’s natural sweetness shine. Roasted eggplant, peeled and dusted with a thin layer of Parmesan—creamy, salty, perfectly balanced. Whole artichoke heart, so tender it almost tricks you into thinking it’s mushroom. Every veggie dish celebrates the ingredient first, with just enough seasoning to amp up the flavor without overpowering. 🥩 The Bold Bites (That Prove Tapas Can Be Adventurous) Calf’s Brain: A curveball, but so worth it. This underrated cut is tender, not weird, with a rich butter and basil sauce that makes it fresh, even fancy. (offal) newbies? Start here. Grilled Chicken Butt: Think Japanese yakitori vibes—juicy meat, crispy edges, and that “can’t stop eating” appeal. Aged Rubia Galega Beef: Spain’s answer to Kobe, aged 6+ months, cooked to perfection. The flavor? Imagine the lingering richness of Cantonese waxed meat, but in a tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak. Chef’s kiss. 😢 The One That Got Away: Roasted Pigeon We missed out—their signature roasted pigeon was just ordered by the table before us. Cue instant FOMO… and a solid reason to come back. 🐦 (Next time, it’s mine.) Gresca doesn’t just serve tapas—it tells a story: tradition, fire, and fearless creativity. Whether you’re a veggie lover, an offal adventurer, or just here for the vibes, this spot delivers. 📍 C/ de Provença, 230, L'Eixample, 08036 Barcelona #BarcelonaEats #TapasEvolved #Global50Best #FoodieHeaven
