EL ASADOR DE ARANDA €€€
Spanish
( 93 417 01 15;
www.asadordearanda.com
;
Av del Tibidabo 31; mains €20-22; closed Sun dinner;
Av Tibidabo)
A great place for a meal after visiting Tibidabo, El Asador de Aranda is set
in a striking art nouveau building, complete with stained-glass windows, Moorish-style
brick arches and elaborate ceilings. You'll find a fine assortment of tapas plates for shar-
ing, though the speciality is the meat (roast lamb, spare ribs, beef), beautifully prepared in
a wood oven.
LA MOLINA €€
Catalan
( 93 417 11 24; Passeig de Sant Gervasi 65; mains €9-16; 1pm-12.30am Mon-Fri, 11am-5pm Sat &
Sun; FGC Avinguda Tibidabo)
La Molina looks like a typical tapas bar at first glance -
sidewalk tables, nondescript bar in front - but head to the back room, and you'll discover
one of the great unsung Catalan restaurants in the neighbourhood.
BAR TOMÀS €
Tapas
( 93 203 10 77; Carrer Major de Sarrià 49; tapas €3-5; noon-10pm Thu-Tue; FGC Sarrià)
Many
barcelonins
have long claimed that Bar Tomàs is by far the best place in the city for
patates braves
(potato chunks in a slightly spicy tomato sauce), prepared here with a spe-
cial variation on the traditional sauce. The place is a rough-edged bar, but that doesn't stop
the well-off citizens of Sarrià piling in, particularly for lunch on weekends.
