This restaurant deserves its own post because it was so fabulous. One of our favorite chefs in New Orleans had been to Barcelona a few months ago and gave us a list of places he thought were the best. We love him and his food and knew we were in good hands. His other recommendations were spot on, and we went out looking for this one. Cal Pep. Takes reservations only, and has about 15 bar seats that you can wait for. About 20 people were ahead of us, and we decided to stick it out. The kitchen was right in front of the bar and you could see everything they were making while they were doing it. The chef was there expediting and it looks amazing. After about an hour, we got our seats at th bar. There are no menus here, none! You just tell your waiter what you like and don't like and they will feed you until you are done. Sounds perfect. Luckily we had seen some of the dishes coming and going and knew what to expect, but we were blown away.
Pan con Tomate
Clams in a buttery wine sauce
Fried squid
Fried artichoke hearts
Chick peas and fresh spinach sauteed with pieces of ham
Whitefish with potatoes and grillec tomatoes
Butifarra sausage with white beans drizzled in a port sauce
The photos are all attached. It was incredible. The food was so fresh and simply prepared that it just melted your mouth. Easily one of our favorite meals of the trip! We savored the tastes on our palette for the rest of the evening.
