My first (paid) job in Barcelona was in Gràcia. Then, a few years later, I came to live 2 streets away from that office (I didn't work there anymore, of course), and now I live literally across the street from Gràcia. So I basically spent most of my time in Barcelona in Gràcia and I know the neighborhood pretty well. 😉 Anyway, there's no need to be an expert to know Bar Canigó, one of the most iconic bars in the neighborhood. Everybody knows it. What is so special about it? Well, I don't really know... the vibes? the location? the customers?... Dunno. 🤷 I used to go there quite often but I hadn't been there in years until a couple of friends and I grabbed a quick bite there a few weeks ago. In fact, I think it was the first time I ate there. I think the only things I ever had there before were drinks. 😅 One of my friends and I shared a few tapas (bravas, Russian salad, chistorra, which is a type of spicy but not hot sausage and Spanish omelette), whereas the other one had a sandwich. Everything was decent but absolutely nothing was memorable. The service and the price also were decent. We paid about €12 each for that and a 1 drink each and we didn't have to wait for too long. 👍 And of course we had a nice time catching up with my friends and remembering old memories in that bar. 👏 Now, that's a bar and not a restaurant and I think next time I go there that'll be for drinks again. I may have some tapas also to go with the drinks, but food shouldn't be the main purpose there.

Read moreEn relación a la amable respuesta a la reseña de mi marido, lo menos que se puede decir es que tenéis la misma humanidad que un/a maltratador/a: es a mi a por quien ha venido la ambulancia debido a un serio ataque de miedo, rabia y ansiedad causado por todo lo absurdo e insultante que he llegado a escuchar y a vivir por parte del camarero en primer lugar y los dueños al final. Hasta su llegada ninguno de ustedes ha tenido el más mínimo interés por mi aún lo llamativo de mi mal estado. Los vecinos de VUESTRA PROPIA terraza y bancos, sí. Y mucho. Incluso más tarde, una trabajadora de barrio del Ayuntamiento de Barcelona que os conoce, y a nosotros también, se ha apurado, preocupado e interesado. Todo se podía haber hecho de otra manera. Una pena. Me he sentido maltratada como persona y, sobretodo, mujer. Cosa que me da que pensar por qué apenas se ven a chicas trabajando ahí. Todo,todo,todo esto viene por el pasmo que nos ocasiona tal situación después de venir a tomar café en vuestro Bar cada vez que venimos a Gracia,que son bastantes desde hace años. Nos duele, de no ser así, no escribiríamos tanto, tamaño maltrato. Con esto, quiero abrir una puerta a la conciliación por lo que entiendo un infeliz malentendido producto del nerviosismo de estos tiempos que corren. Siendo así, y como no vivimos en Barcelona, os facilitarmos un teléfono de contacto con tal fin si es que desean,como así lo...
Read moreWe came across this bar by coincidence as we live in Gràcia and we were positively surprised by the quality and prices.
Drinking a wine does not cost a fortune (only €2,5 for house wine) and the tapas are delicious.
So far, we have tried patatas bravas, tapa de hummus, pan con tomate and they were great.
The boys who serve are very friendly and approachable, sometimes it takes too long to get your order though.
We keep...
