Dallas | Barcelona Wine Bar Never Disappoints

One of the pleasant surprises since moving to Dallas has been Barcelona Wine Bar. It was my favorite tapas place in Boston, and I never expected to find a branch here in Dallas after all these years. 📍 5016 Miller Ave, Dallas. It’s located in the Lower Greenville area, just one block away from Knox Street, separated by I-75. 🔥I’ve been here twice in the one and a half months since I moved, and it’s likely to become my go-to spot. The decor and vibes are almost identical to the one in Brookline, Boston—U-shaped bar, cabinets adorned with green plants, and bistro lights on the patio. I wonder if they’ll have live music during the weekend brunch? The classic dishes are very similar, though of course, the seasonal menu does change. ✅Today we ordered: Two glasses of extra sweet white sangria and one Negroni with prosecco. When I was in Spain🇪🇸, I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make sangria. It turns out that Spaniards add a lot of sugar, which makes their sangria particularly delicious. So, in the US, I prefer sweeter sangria. The Negroni with prosecco was really good; I might try it without gin next time to see how it tastes. ✅Lomo Ibérico de Bellota. I’m used to eating jamón ibérico (Iberian ham), but today I tried lomo ibérico for the first time. This is cured meat made from the loin of Iberian pigs that feed on acorns. I found the flavor to be much milder. To be honest, I still prefer the richer taste of jamón ibérico, but if you find the flavor of jamón too strong, you might want to give lomo ibérico a try. #Dallas #DallasLife #DallasCuisine #DallasEats #NorthAmericanLife
