Nom, nom? You bet!
Tapas24 was a popular recommendation on chowhound.com for traditional tapas with a modern twist. The chef, Carles Abellan, is an El Bulli alum and is also the owner of the more high-end restaurant, Comerc24. This was the first night the whole gang was reunited in Barcelona so we decided to head over to Tapas24 for a night of sangria and yummy Spanish cuisine.
1. Bikini Comerc24 - A fancy name for a grilled cheese sandwich with jamon inside. We love jamon so I give me a Bikini over an American ham and cheese sandwich any day.
2. Arros Negre de Sipia - My personal favorite dish of the night, squid ink paella. I am a big squid ink fan and this rice definitely hit the spot. It was cooked nicely, with the rice more on the moist side and served alongside some fried sardines recommended by our waiter (not pictured). The fish added some additional salt and crunch, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
3. McFoie Burger - There was nothing special about this burger. The foie was barely noticeable and was definitely wasted on the heavy bun and overpowering flavors of the meat.
4. Fried Rabbit - What can I say? It tastes like chicken, albeit a skinny chicken. There isn't as much meat on the bones and more time is spent gnawing on the bones than anything. Nevertheless, tasty and worth ordering again.
5. Mussels - This was typical Spanish fare and I can't say it stood out very much in my memory.
6. Lamb Meatballs - Yummy! None of us were expecting a fried meatball but the cruchiness paired well with the two sauces on top - one creamy and the other tangy. As our Spanish wasn't up to par, we didn't get a chance to find out what exactly was in the two sauce.
All in all, great company and good food equals a memorable night in Barcelona. I would definitely recommend this place for tapas for a decent Spanish meal. However, it is on the more expensive side so be prepared to pay a good amount for your food.
