📍 Barcelona food | I was really impressed by the Tapas here ❗

🍄 Orvay, Barcelona: A Hidden Tapas Treasure with Creativity and Truffle Magic Nestled on Pg. del Born, this cozy little spot is a true gem—specializing in high-quality, creative tapas that feel like culinary art. The atmosphere? Warm, intimate, and perfect for food lovers eager to explore bold flavors. Let’s break down the highlights. ✨ The Dishes That Shine (You’ll Be Raving About These) Mushroom & Truffle Almond “Macaron” 🍄 A visual stunner with the shape of a macaron, but the flavor is pure genius. Earthy mushrooms, aromatic truffle, and a nutty crunch from almonds blend into a unique, unforgettable appetizer—next level in every way. Iberian Pork Sandwich 🥪 5-star essential. Tender, slow-cooked pork cheek piles onto buttery, crispy bread, finished with a drizzle of truffle cream. The combination is explosive: savory, rich, and so delicious, you’ll be fighting for the last bite. Beef “Bao” Style Bun 🥙 Soft, steamed buns wrap around fall-apart oxtail, pickled onions, mayo, and a hint of truffle. Each mouthful layers tangy, savory, and umami notes—textures and flavors that dance together perfectly. Truffle Duck Roll 🦆 Crispy duck encloses foie gras, porcini mushrooms, and a luxe truffle sauce, topped with shards of Parmesan. It’s indulgent and rich, though a little goes a long way—savor each bite. Red Wine-Braised Beef Cheeks 🍷 Slow-cooked to fork-tender perfection, the beef soaks up a sweet, deep sauce. The wine’s alcohol cooks off, leaving a fruity sweetness that enhances the meat—balanced and deeply satisfying. Fruit Dessert Bowl 🍧 A bright, refreshing end: yuzu, passion fruit, white chocolate, and pistachios, paired with a pistachio sponge cake. Sweet, tangy, and light—it’s the ideal contrast to the richer dishes. 🌟 Why It’s a Must-Visit Orvay excels in every detail: attentive service, (refined) plating, and a focus on quality. Truffle enthusiasts, this is your spot—they use it masterfully to elevate each dish. Price: €40–50 per person (worth every euro for the experience). Pro tip: Book in advance! It’s small, and tables fill up fast. This isn’t just tapas—it’s a celebration of creativity and flavor. Orvay proves that the best finds are often the ones tucked away. 📍 Pg. del Born, 4, Ciutat Vella, 08003 Barcelona #BarcelonaEats #HiddenGems #TruffleLovers
