Bodega Marieta — Restaurant in Barcelona

A perfect way to relax and to have a glass of wine in a cozy place. It is a place like no others in the district with a soul of the owner that you can feel. Everything starting from the carefully prepared dishes to the quiet background relaxing music (jazz, chanson, light folk rock et al), wine selection and a welcoming feeling coming from the owner are just perfect. It is a place for you to come for romantic dinner, having a lonely wine tasting, or a gathering with old friends that you want to talk to, not...

So many great dishes and a good range of interesting wines to try. Could have easily ordered a meal of croquetas alone, as were so tasty. We shared the mini octopus in a rich tomato sauce on potato and the lamb for main. Both were extremely good, but the stand out was the octopus. Even with a bottle of wine + corkage charge, the total price for two was more reasonable than in the UK for the equivalent. A hidden gem and surprisingly a little quiet for a Friday night....

We caught the owner right before the kitchen was closing. Still, she had the openness to bring us food and wine, we were sooo tired and hungry after an event. Great attitude, so warm. A charming, simple yet stylish interior. Very Barcelona 😊. Totally recommend this authentic local place, far from pretentious tourists (with some „looking for small hidden places like this” exceptions like us). I know I will be back sometime, dear...
