Morro Fi — Restaurant in Barcelona

First meal of our trip was at Morro Fi. They make their own vermut. The main worker spoke English and let us know what food was available to order. Music was fun and funky.

They sell homemade vermut, cava brut nature, chips, olives, piparres and salsa vermella. Should have bought their olives (2,70 € for 150g) to go!

Vermut (2,60 €) - smooth with the slightest medicinal note. Came with a delicious olive. Vermut reserva (3,80 €) - more depth. Carxofa (2,40 €) - artichokes with sundries tomatoes and black olives. Decent. Pintxo seito (2,00 € each) - anchovies with olives. Fantastic. 1/2 Calamar/ventresca (3,90 €) - squid with olives and piparres. Firm, pleasant texture. Patates gruixudes (2,90 €) - the salsa soggied the chips. Would ask for it without. Cured tuna (7,80 €) - interesting texture. Portion was more than enough.

Our favourite meal...

A small vermouth bar located on a pedestrian square in the Eixample district. I ordered a vermut (€2,80), half portion of everything (€5,50), and an octopus skewer (€3,50). The classic vermut was wonderfully smooth. Food was fresh and delicious, and prices were very accessible considering the prime location. Portions were small and multiple orders may be required to eat a full diet, but ordering may be difficult for foreigners, as there is no English menu. The bartender was patient despite the language barrier. Seating was very limited, but you can sit in the pedestrian square if the bar is full. In all, it was an enjoyable meal and a great vermouth bar...

This is where I first had vermouth so my opinion might be a bit skewed when I say it's the best hehe. They only serve typical vermouth tapas (olives, banderillas, anchovies, chips with Espinaler sauce, premium seafood cans). It's one of the most emblematic vermouth places in town, but it's super small with a few seats at the bar inside. They do have a couple of tables on the terrace and people usually crowd up in front enjoying their drinks. EXTRA: you can buy a bottle of their own vermouth brand; they make really nice...
