Bodega 1900

A bit expensive but the place is great! Don’t come here if you’re really hungry better come for the experience and to find something different.

My wife and I recently spent a week in Barcelona and this was the best restaurant we went to. We had 12 dishes in all plus vermouth and espresso. Nearly all of the dishes we had were amazing. Most notably the white asparagus, I am a huge meat eater but this asparagus dish truly blew me away. I absolutely loved it. We also had the best steak in our lives here, the tenderloin cooked al carbon. We normally prefer strip steaks or rib eyes but this place works magic and somehow made this tenderloin the best steak we had ever had. The gamba shrimp is amazing as well. The olives of course are a must have. Desert was incredible too but I could not tell you what it was — it was long and flaky and filled with some kind of cream. Every dish was done masterfully here, we would definitely come back.
Now a few things to consider depending on your tastes:
The vermouth is very similar to straight Martini red/​rosso but pairs well with their food.
I am not a big fan of their stews — we had the lamb cheek and also the peas and mushroom. But I am not a big fan of stews to begin with.
Now I wish we had gone to their big sister restaurant across the street: Tickets. Definitely next time.

I ran into this restaurant on the way of searching for my Airbnb host. The waitress was very nice to show me where I should go. Turned out its right across the street.
After shower I planed to go back to the restaurant to have a late dinner like every espanol. But it was already about to close. The manager suggested me to make a reservation right there, because it’s always full! Why not? I just wrote down my name.
I didn’t realize the popularity of this little restaurant until I got there on the time they opened next day. There were already people waiting outside. And many of them seem like tourists. As I sat down, I heard most of them asking for recommendation as I did
As the food were presented one by one. I started realizing the reason. All dishes looked so delicate as they tasted. Small dishes with great quality. Reminds me of Japanese food. It was obvious that it was not only my opinion. People around me kept nodding their heads and saying «delicious, delicious»
I enjoyed it so much that I decided to take a desert even I was quite full. Homemade cheesecake was full of flavor as well.
Everything was great until I received my bill. Hahahah. I didn’t even ask for the price for each dish. But hey, I’m on holiday. I deserve it. Right?

Incredible Tapas, if in town you have to try it! It’s pricey but worth it. If you enjoy food and good service like I do.

So good. Had around 10 courses here. The vermouth is a nice touch to start off with. The jamon is great. The «olives» lived up to the hype. Two of my faves from the night were: artichoke heart draped in a sardine. Salty and smooth. And also their take on a chicharron — fried pork belly up to the skin with a spicy powder dusting. So good.
What made this night even more special was that both Ferran and Albert were seated at the table next to us. Pretty amazing experience.

Truly world class. Definitely not a cheap corner tapas bar. High end interpretation in a relaxed atmosphere. Just let the chef take care of you. What a wonderful way to spend my last night in Barcelona. Now off to Paris. Yeah, hate if you must.

The Adria brothers famous for El Bulli and Tickets Bar. They have become restaurateurs with multiple restaurants in Barcelona. Tickets Bar being across the street. Bodega 1900 has a more relax and comfortable feel to it. The vermouth ode maintained the essence of the traditional foods. It’s definitely what I expected the atmosphere of a casual Spanish tapas bar to feel like.
It’s lively, fast pace, loud and welcoming with a dark wood interior and the Joselito jamon iberico on displayed when you first walk in. The different ages of the jamon iberico hanging from the wall. There’s a bar area and tables all around with sidewalk seating. The staff were all really nice and the dishes were explained well unlike Unilocal reviews.
Overall, Bodega is a nice plan B when you can’t get into Tickets Bar. It definitely does not compare to Tickets Bar. I wish I went to Bodega 1900 before I went to Tickets Bar. However, I went to Tickets Bar the night before and it definitely ruined my Bodega 1900 experience. The food is a lot more comforting than creative. It was a lot more simple than artistic. The flavors were not as bold as Tickets. Lastly, I still enjoyed my experience at Bodega 1900 and the food was definitely good. It’s a nice option for simpletons.

Fuimos entre semana, un miercoles, y nos sentamos fuera. Hacia un dia estupendo y teniamos hambre. La idea era pocar partiendonos los platos. Pedimos las tostas de tartar y la de carne italiana (no recuerdo nombre)…una tostada rectangular, pequeña y finisima de cada cosa. Pedimos los dos molletes, menos de un mordisco por cabeza. Unas alcachofas con keso idiazabal ricas y escuetitas. Un pincho de pollo, bien sazonado y breve. Una empanadilla de lechal cojonuda pero tambien minima… como teniamos hambre pedimos un par de croquetas de remate. Y con hambre seguimos. El ritmo de llegada de la comida lento. en la espera cayeron 3 cañas y 3 copas de vino… sin postre ni café casi 80 €…por ese importe se deben corregir las cantidades que se sirven.

Situado en el Adrià-​barrio (hay 5 locales de la familia Adrià en los alrededores) Bodega 1900 ofrece una experiencia premium de una tradicional y algo castiza taberna de tapas.
La comida es excelente, el servicio exquisito y el local es algo pintoresco, aunque menos rompedor o fuera de lo común que alguno de sus locales hermanos (tickets, pakta, etc.)
Desde mi punto de vista el tamaño de las raciones es su gran punto débil.
Recomiendo: Para llevar a clientes extranjeros y hacerles una inmersión en un restaurante de tapas. Su paladar flipará

Otro de los proyectos magistrales de Albert Adrià y los hermanos Iglesias. La ambientación y el mobiliario del local recuerda a los bares /​vermuterias de antes. Es genial!!!
Todo lo que podreis degustar esta riquísimo, no se pararía de pedir nunca, sobretodo si hablamos de las Molletes de calamares., que buenas que estan!!!
El servicio es perfecto y el trato del personal super bueno. Pidas lo que pidas, te lo van sirviendo poco a poco y no te colapsan la mesa, como paso en muchos de los sitios de tapeo.
Todo lo que podreis degustar esta muy rico, aunque eso si el precio no es económico, pero vale mucho la pena degustar una serie de tapas excelentes (Aceitunas esferificadas„ el pulpo a la brasa, los molletes de calamares…)

We stopped in while waiting for their sister restaurant, Tickets, to open. We had a few great tapas (croquettes and jamon ibérico and sardines, all of which were delicious). We enjoyed it so much that we returned the next night for a full dinner (fried mini shrimp, cheese, a 2^nd kind of jamon ibérico, short rib empanadas, and the most exquisite chocolate dessert). Definitely don’t skip the dessert here!
The ingredients are all of the highest quality (like Tickets), but all in a more traditional style. The staff were very friendly and happy to explain the menu.

Let me preface this by saying I really wanted to love Bodega 1900. I had heard the accolades about the Adrià brothers, read the reviews, had gone to see their demonstration while in Miami, and I absolutely couldn’t wait to see what they could do. Since we were unable to get reservations for the renowned Tickets (we later discovered they were hosting a private event that night), we figured we would try Bodega 1900 instead so that we could get their take on the traditional fare of the region.
The prices are a bit higher than your average tapas place, which is often the case with such a notable chef. It doesn’t tend to bother me so long as the cuisine itself lives up to the accolades. However, instead of an unforgettable meal that I couldn’t stop raving about, I just found myself feeling a underwhelmed. Maybe it was an off night, or we ordered the wrong items, but I just don’t get the hype. Also, other than the olive «spheroids» I don’t really understand the reviews that consider this place imaginative. It is very conservative.
As much as I try to avoid comparisons between one restaurant and another, I found it impossible not to compare Bodega’s gastro take on olives to the others we had during the course of our trip (Disfrutar and El Celler de Can Roca). The snow crab toast was also similar to one I had experienced at ABC Kitchen in New York, and the rest… well they were no different than any other tapas place we went, and that includes the generic market stalls. Moreover, they lost to others on almost every front. While I cannot deny that the ingredients themselves were fresh, I couldn’t help feeling let down by each item we ordered. Some items were over salted, others just plain bland, and overall I just couldn’t help but to think… that’s it? The Iberian ham croquette was competent but unremarkable. Ordering the manchego reserve cheese meant a small plate with just three wedges. No bread, no honey or nuts, none of anything to make it better in any way to the fare you would find in a local grocery store. The pan con tomate was possibly the worst version of the dish I had during our time in Spain, with the bread being slightly burnt.
Although the space itself is beautifully decorated, it is also very small. The tables are practically on top of each other. From what I overhead said by the patrons around me munching on their tiny sandwiches slathered in mayo and over-​fried calamari, it seemed that no one was thrilled with their meal. Moreover, I don’t normally care much about service, except when the staff is just outright rude as ours was. Not only was he unfriendly with us, but when he knocked into the table next to us and spilled their water, he didn’t even apologize to them. For being under the umbrella of such an impressive culinary pedigree I would expect better training of their staff. Again though, maybe it was just a random fluke of bad luck there.
In Spain I can think of at least a dozen better options when you’re looking for tapas, and if you really want to try something from the Adrià brothers and Tickets is unavailable, I’d suggest El Niño Viejo Taqueria instead. They may not be serving local dishes but it is a more satisfying choice.

Just didn’t feel this one. It felt a bit more like overpriced U.S. «tapas» than something authentic. But hey, at least our overpriced tapas are usually interesting. This was little more than average pan con tomate, a couple thin slices of average manchego (at 7 euros!), a couple decent ham croquetas, a water, an Estrella, and a glass of wine. Oh, and a couple spherified olives that were a bit of a letdown — basically, olives in cute little spoons. There was a cheese with black truffle dish I was interested in, but they didn’t have it… and I found little else on the menu to be too compelling. I don’t have a problem with simple tapas, but close to 50 euros were paid for this. Maybe if we’d done a tasting menu, I would feel differently, but I’m skeptical. And to top it all off, the waiter wasn’t particularly friendly.
There are Spanish tapas restaurants at home I’d rather go to, let alone elsewhere in Barcelona — you have countless options for this kind of food here, and it seemed to me that the Adria brothers are banking on their name — I’ve been to other places during my time here, and the others executed this style with a bit more flair, not to mention value.

Everything we had was very tasty. The portions were definitely on the smaller side which was nice so that you can try more dishes but it was priced on the higher side compared to other restaurants in the area. Still worth a try, don’t forget to make reservations; just make sure you’re not starving when you go. Favourites were liquid olive, sea urchin, razor clams, bread with tomato and Iberian ham, smoked mackerel variety dish and beef and tomato stew.

Extraordinary! Fresh food prepared with imaginative condiments, without being overbearingly «nouveau.»
Start with some of their homemade vermouth — wow, what planet were we lucky enough to land on! Delicious!
Aubergine lightly fried served with salmorejo sauce to accompany, butter-​like slices of aged beef, small mussels with a slightly tangy sauce, navajas prepared with just a touch of EVOO, etc.
Desert included the freshest cheese-​like tart ever, figs pickled in port wine served with ricotta ice cream, etc.
The setting is small, welcoming, and decorated simply.
Runs around € 70/​person, including drinks, desert, and coffee.

We were late to get tickets to Tickets… so we «settled» for Bodega 1900. And our socks were blown off, out the door, across the street, never to be returned. The Adrià brothers (from El Bulli) have nailed it — from friendly, fast service to thoughtful dishes that play with molecular gastronomy. The drinks, the portions, the taste — it was all there and then some. We left with huge grins and full bellies. Highly recommended.

Gourmet tapas in cosy and unpretentious restaurant. The best food we got since we moved to Barcelona 1 month ago.
We asked the waiter to make a «selection de la case» with priority on seafood, joined by a bottle of cava.
The tapas was creative and very nice looking but most important, tasted very good. Most of the seafood was cooked very lightly or not at all.
Examples: Sea Anemone in tempura batter and very small shrimps a la plancha, to be consumed with shells.
Not exactly a cheap restaurant, but it’s really worth the money.
Waiters are attentive, good at giving advice and friendly.
A place to return to when gourmet tapas are needed.

Delicious last leisurely meal in Barcelona! We weren’t sure what to order, so we went with Chef’s Pick. We were not disappointed! We had 10 – 12 tapas plates of deliciously executed food. Would definitely come back if I were ever in Barcelona again! I highly recommend!

Other than tickets bar on the opposite side, this BODEGA 1900 is one of my favourite.
As referred from a Tickets Bar senior staff, we visited this best kept secret tapas restaurant, too. An egg sharp delicacy with Olive Essence, La aceituna-​S Gordal c/​piparra as the first starter with seaweed rolls were unforgettable.
The rest of their recommendations were all wonderful. The server also suggested El melon con vermut blanco, fresh Mellon with wine prepared, as the dessert to end this culinary journey.
Frankly, they are one of the best. Thanks.

Difícil hacer una crítica de este lugar, pero lo intentaré. Primero: ¿la comida es buena? Indudablemente. Este lugar nace de la mano de los hermanos Adrià, no se puede esperar mediocridad.
¿Qué es lo que dificulta mi crítica? Las cantidades y precios. Entiendo que la calidad se paga, pero algunos de los platos no acabaron de convencerme.
Platos en formato «tapa» muy variados que hace que los guiris se vuelvan locos. Y oiga, que muchos están muy buenos, pero más de uno me hizo fruncir el ceño. Los mejillones de la foto eran realmente pequeños. Buenos, como si los hubieran seleccionado a mano, pero muy pequeñines.
Las tostas eran también muy apetecibles, la de cangrejo deliciosa. El postre muy original, ese melón de aspecto cristalino que en realidad es la propia fruta impregnada con un ligero sabor a vermouth blanco, muy recomendable.
Las olivas, también en la foto, son un tanto anecdóticas, por 1’90 €. Lo que más me dolió fue lo que le llaman «La Rubia de ternera», trozos finísimos de lomo de ternera que dejan secar 3 semanas en sal y especias. El resultado… unos trozos que parecen y saben a jamón, que están muy bien como jamón «look alike», pero que por 14 €, y 4 trocitos… pues me pareció exagerado.
En definitiva, un buen lugar, platos MUY pequeños pero de calidad. Y se cobran a buen precio, como mínimo yo diría que va a salirte por 50 € por cabeza. El servicio, eso si, es excepcional, todos los camareros son MUY atentos, serviciales y cordiales.

Como buenos fans de los bares/​vermuterías que somos, la bodega1900 entra en la lista de los #mustgo de @cooltourtheblog. De la mano de uno de los grandes: Albert Adrià, nos dejamos recomendar en esta bodega que ha sabido ofrecer platos tradicionales al estilo siglo XIX.
El servicio, por supuesto, exquisito.
*PERFECTO PARA: sorprender a tus amigos que vienen a visitarte a la ciudad condal con un vermut diferente; made in Bulli.
*AMBIENTE: hay jaleo! Mesas tipo vermut, pequeñas, en un espacio cerrado.
*QUÉ COMER: las olivas esferificadas (es algo curioso, famosas por ser servidas en el Bulli), el moyete de calamares y la rubia gallega (una carne increíblemente sabrosa).
*QUÉ BEBER: Vermut!
*PARA IR CON: amigos que vengan a pasar unos días a la ciudad.
*ZONA: Sant Antoni.
*PRECIO: 35 €-40 €.
*A TENER EN CUENTA: Abren de martes a sábado de 13h a 22.30h — cocina ininterrumpida! El vermut lo sirven en botellas antiguas preciosas pero en realidad es vermut Martini, patrocinador del espacio. Es un placer ver a Albert Adrià por el restaurante mientras comes.
Nos encanta…

A very nice place with superb dishes !!!
Always full house, so need a reservation.
A must do !!!

Where should I start? This is a vermouth bar run by the Adrià brothers (from El Bulli heritage) but I can promise you that you won’t leave hungry after sampling some of their tapas. They were so good we actually got them to squeeze us in for another meal two days later. :)
We got excellent service even though we spoke English (didn’t have a problem with that anywhere in Barcelona actually).
Start with their house made vermouth, the potato crisps and some molecular olives and go from there. I believe we tried most of the tapas dishes and all three Cavas. Go for the Juve y Camps Millesime, but let the bottle warm up a bit on the table, they like to serve it too cold.
Everything ranges from really good to perfection (hello olives ;)) but you can skip the chilled beef carpaccio (had a, for me, weird roe flavor), the chicken and foie gras cannelloni (good but not great) and the fried squid with mayo in bread (funny hot dog style but too much mayo).
I will return the next time I’m in Barcelona and also try the Adrià brothers neighboring places Tickets or 41° Experience which seem even better.

I wanted to try a restaurant of the Adria brothers and taste the food that they’re known for. Barcelona wasn’t a great place for tourists because locals are very rude to you, even the cops are just upright rude.
However, this place was a nice little touch of customer service and good food. Waiters don’t work for tips in Barcelona so we’ve been getting bad service everywhere around Barcelona. That wasn’t the case here. Our waitress was very polite, catering and worked with us on what to order.
We weren’t sure what to order, so she did the chef’s choice where she just kept bringing out tapas for us to enjoy. She was very knowledgeable of everything that was served and catered to our food allergies.
I wanted to try the liquified olives and I’m so glad we did, we tried two different flavors too. Not sure how they did it, but it was just delicious. Barcelona is known for their vermouth so we had to try it here, where they make their own. It wasn’t my cup of tea… err, cup of vermouth but it was still pretty good and I’m glad I tried it.
Of course, there were iberico jamon on the plate for options so I was thrilled to have it at Bodega 1900 where they cure it themselves (hanging in the storefront of the restaurant). The foie gras itself tasted like it was made in their backyard, everything tasted so fresh!
The best part is, my girls loved eating everything and our waitress even got their own portions, which was nice. They had fresh squeezed orange juice refilled for them and was a great part of our meal. They were just oogled over and treated like adults as far as customer service went.
It was all great until we got the bill. It was the most expensive tapas I’ve ever had, over $ 200 (they charged in euros). I wished the waitress asked us what type of bill we’re looking to pay, because that was pretty pricey. I paid it and even tipped a bit because the service was wonderful. However, I removed a star because of that issue with the bill. Everyone has a price range of what they’re looking to pay, they should have asked that instead of adding to our bill like that.
I’m glad i tried this place out because we were told that a lot of the foods are cooked at Tickets as well, without us needing the months in advanced reservations.

Bodega 1900 was one of the restaurant highlights of my vacation in Barcelona. It was so nice I went twice! This is another creation of the Adrià brothers of Tickets and El Bulli fame. I opted for the tasting menu on my first visit and navigated the menu on my own on my next. I enjoyed the tasting but the fist half was more of a giant charcuterie board, I really enjoyed the 2^nd half of the meal best. The manager, Angel, was our server the first night, he was great at recommendations and had a great personality. On one of the evenings a waiter picker up a guitar and started playing it for the tables. Some people come here because they can’t get into Tickets, their sister restaurant across the street, in my opinion this place is equally as good, albeit a different style meal and it will not disappoint. It should be on your «must-​try» list for Barcelona dining.
Vermouth Cocktail — I would highly recommend getting this cocktail. they generally will offer it as it appears to be their house specialty. I never had one before and it was part of the reason I came here more than once.
Fried Seaweed w/​Rice Cream — Decent starter. It is really something nice just to nibble on as you warm up for more delicious tapas. If you have had seaweed before, evening sushi, then you will like them in this chip form
Pork rinds and pickles — They were fine, tasted as expected. While good, I might pass on these.
Tomato Salad — The highlight was the freshness and sweetness of the tomatoes, they came lightly salted in oil topped with some peas.
Natural and molecular gastronomy olives — They taste just like olives it is the texture and presentation that is the most impressive aspect. The faux olive pops in your mouth.
Parmesan and tomato crackers –These crackers, as expected, tasted like fresh parmesan. A little pricey but tasted awesome.
Giant olives stuffed anchovies — I’m not a huge anchovy guy but still thought they were good. The pitted olives they were delivered in were massive
Sea urchin and oysters — Just a raw bar tray, great presentation and tasty if you like this type of food.
Smoked tuna and mackerel — It was just some really tasted sashimi, great tasting fish. I’ve never had raw mackerel before and I really enjoyed it.
Beef cured in salt for 3 weeks — It tasted like some great roast beef
Meat pie with ribs — These great little empanadas
*Smoked salmon w/​truffle honey — One of the best tasting tapas I had in all of my travels in Barcelona. The complex flavor profile was outstanding.
Razor clams — I discovered I am not a big raw clam guy, but the milky broth that came with these was tasty and added some flavors I’ve seen in thai food
Ham & cheese croquette — Common throughout the city but extremely well prepared here
*Spicy Squid Mollete — Fried calamari in brioche with garlic aioli and a kimchi chipotle sauce. This was not only another highlight from the restaurant but a highlight of my trip.
*Truffle Bikini — Another must try item. This is essentially a grilled cheese with black truffle and a very nice ham. If you are a truffle fan this is especially satisfying
Grilled pineapple with molasses — Simple and palette cleansing dessert. Presentation was very nice
Apple tart — Traditional and perfectly executed apple tart
Chocolate cake — Just some chocolate mousse style cake and a chocolate ice cream. Not as inventive as other dishes but if you are a chocolate fan it definitely hits the spot

Deliciosa bodega y vermutería de Albert Adriá donde hacen platos tradicionales con el toque Adriá y del Bulli. Hay que probar las aceitunas, los molletes de calameres, el chuletón…todo está muy bueno. no tan caro como uno creería.

Déco typiques, très bon accueil, service bien, bons arômes et saveurs dans les assiettes mais sans plus. Rapport qualité prix exagéré car on a mieux dîné ailleurs et moins chères. Mon avis était partagé entre 3 et 4 étoiles mais compte tenu du rapport qualité prix je reste sur 3 étoiles. Mais cela reste bon pour un menu dégustation à 109 € pour deux avec une bouteille de vin. Nous avions été à l’Espai Kru le soir d’avant et nous sommes restés sur notre faim en allant au Bodega 1900. A tester tout de même!

El trío formado por Albert Adrià encargado de la coordinación, Pedro G Asensio, de la cocina, y Angel Geriz de la sala; busca el resurgir del vermut más clásico: el de la buena conserva y embutido, el de la tapa, el del picoteo, el de los platillos. Clásicos salazones y embutidos, como ellos mismos definen son la base y los ingredientes típicos de esos momentos que preceden a la comida haciendo de Bodega 1900 un templo de esta gran costumbre tan arraigada.
Con una ambientación de primeros de siglo pasado, un local no excesivamente grande nos deleita con lo mejor de lo mejor. El primer encuentro lo tenemos con los embutidos y los utensilios a la vista de la preparación de éstos, como si de una charcutería se tratase. Mesas de mármol y sillas típicas de la época. Los uniformes del personal clásicos, delantales hasta los pies, de blanco y negro. El local se estrecha para dar paso a un comedor, con una barra de servicio y la cocina prácticamente a la vista. La carta nos ofrece los imprescindibles: patatas chips con salsa de vermut, berberechos, aceitunas, anchoas, boquerones, mejillones, quesos, lomo, jamón, salchichón… todos de primerísima calidad con algún toque de distinción, bien sea por el ingrediente en sí o por su forma de prepararlo. Encontramos algo más de sofisticación con las Ostras, la caballa ahumada, las algas crujientes, las cortezas de cerdo gigantes con mermelada de limón y algunas tapas calientes acercándose a un plato como croquetas de Joselito (estas pueden tomarse por unidades), Pluma ibérica, Picantón a l’ast, algunos Molletes (de calamares, pollo…), algo de la huerta (tomates y pimientos) y postres por si se da el caso que, al hacer el vermut, hayas acabado comiendo.
Dejé cosas por probar, lógico, pero avanzo lo que ya he catado… y digo avanzo porque pienso volver!
Para beber vermut negro, servido con naranja (no esperaba menos…) sin oliva, un par de cubitos y vaso ancho. Me decanto primero por unas algas crujientes, por aquello de probar algo diferente: algas Nori con arroz y sésamo blanco… pues que os voy a decir. Crujientísimas, parecían cortezas, de un sabor buenísimo.Una cazuelita con suficiente ración, su finalidad es picotear, pero están tan buenas que duran muy poco encima de la mesa. Es imposible tenerlas delante y no comerlas.
Algo más clásico como unas navajas sería imperdonable no probarlas, están hechas para vermutear. Si, además, vamos en busca del toque diferencial lo encontraremos: navajas en escabeche suave. Que navajas y que escabeche! Suave, tal y como se describe, pero ojo, con sabor! Las navajas muy tiernas, pero no tanto como para que no sean navajas. Poca cosa puedo decir, sólo que tenéis que probarlas. Para probar algo de la vertiente más sofisticada, unas ostras. Aunque me gustan, puedo prescindir de tomarlas, no me apasionan, y tiene que ser algo que me apetezca muchísimo. Ese día no tenía el paladar receptivo a ellas, así que no las probé, pero si puedo deciros que mi «partner» a quién si le resultan casi imprescindibles las calificó como de las mejores que había comido. Me fío totalmente de su criterio, si tenéis afinidad con el mío, coincideiréis así que considerarlas os aseguro que será una buena elección. Su aspecto me recordaba bastante a las tomadas en Cancale, paraíso de los «ostreros» en la Bretaña Francesa, donde sí las comí y sinceramente, estaban muy ricas.
Dos croquetas de Joselito, ¿que podemos esperar?. Pues eso, dos delirios. Pienso que con una buena materia prima es difícil que algún plato salga mal… aunque también debo reconocer que he visto destrozos teniendo lo mejor de lo mejor, por lo que no vamos a excusarnos en que es «fácil» conseguir unas buenas croquetas porque tenemos un buen jamón y quitarles mérito.
Porque las croquetas necesitan algo más: la cremosidad del interior, la dureza del exterior, que el ingrediente se vea y se note en la boca, y escasa en aceite, lo que indica una buena temperatura de fritura. Y todo lo cumplíà la tapa caliente que tomé. Buenísima, recien hecha y en su punto de sabor a jamón. Que se puedan pedir por unidades es una gran tentación…
Un imprescindible.

Bodega 1900 wird ebenso wie das ausgezeichnete tickets auf der strasse gegenüber von den ferran brüdern geleitet. Dort bekommt man die Küche von Albert Adriá. Bekannt sind die Namen vom «Le Bule» das einst beste Restaurant der Welt.
Im Tickets bekommt man eher selten ein Platz, aber hier ist es leichter. Ich hab gegenüber kurz gewohnt und bin daher hier mal rein gestolpert.
Die Küche ist traditionell Katalanisch. Oliven, Käse, iberico Schinken, Thunfisch und täglich wechselne Gerichte. Dazu wechselnde Tagesgerichte. Der Service ist ausgezeichnet das Verhältnis Gäste zu Personal als ich am noch sehr frühen Abend spontan da war ca 1:5. Glaub 1:1 ist das maximum da der Laden sehr klein ist und überall wuseln Köche und Kellner.
Das Ambiente ist katalanisch Rustikal und der Preis saftig. Trotzdem ein Besuch Wert. Das wssen war einwandfrei und wann hat man schon mal die Chance beim Besten zu essen!

Una combinación de grandes sabores en tapas de todo tipo combinado con excelente servicio. Se ve que es una rama del gran chef de Albert Adrian y sus grandes cadenas de restaurantes en Barcelona uno de ellos el famoso Tickets. Súper recomendado y lo mejor es dejar que el mesero te sorprenda con una nueva tapa o platillo así te sales con mejor sabor en el paladar!
