; Carrer de Sant Lluís 24; meals €25; Joanic)
This rauc-
ous eatery is decked out in country Catalan fashion, with gingham tablecloths and no-non-
sense, slap-up meals. The secret is hearty serves of simple dishes, such as
bistec a la
brasa
(grilled steak), perhaps preceded by
albergínies farcides
(stuffed aubergines) or
calçots
(spring onions) in winter.

NOU CANDANCHÚ €
( 93 237 73 62; Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia 9; meals €5-7; Wed-Mon; Fontana)
The liveliest
locale on the square, Nou Candanchú is a long-time favourite for various reasons. Many
flock to its sunny terrace just for a few drinks. Accompany the liquid refreshment with
one of the giant
entrepans

Tapas
CANTINA MACHITO €
Mexican

www.cantinamachito.com
; Carrer Torrijos 47; meals €8-11; 1-4pm, 7pm-1.30am
daily; Fontana or Joanic)
On the leafy Torrijos street, the colourful Machito - which seems
devoted to the image of Frida Kahlo - gets busy with locals, and the outside tables are a
great place to eat and drink until late. You'll find all the standard Mexican delights like
quesadillas, tacos, enchiladas and so on, and some wonderfully refreshing iced water fla-
voured with honey and lime, mint and fruit.
