The best meal in all of Barcelona? Quite the statement, I know.
Perhaps it was the magic of a two week trip winding down.
The culmination of the exploration and needing some place to top it all off.
It may have been built up by our wonderful airbnb host, who stated upon our arrival, that he himself as foodie considered this place the best of the best.
Barcelona is full of culinary delights… full of jamon and queso… full of pincho bars where one can toothpick their way through endless selections..
We ate and ate for two weeks.
Our last spot however has my heart.
On the recommendation of our host, we made it to Bar Canete on our last night. We perhaps should have made a reservation! But to our delight we were seated shortly after ordering a drink to wait with.
I had to start with oysters. Oysters and I are obsessed. with each other. And I get to eat them ALL as a certain someone claims he is allergic. (which I doubt based upon described symptoms…)
The spicy clams came next.
Rabbit cutlets to continue the meal..which were perfectly cooked and mild.
As my main I had to order the wildly popular, seemingly social media classic, the Cannelloni of roast poularde and foie bechamel. O my heaven in my mouth. It was meaty yet light, rich and creamy, scrape my plate delicious. I would have licked the plate had I have had another glass of wine..
My dining parter aka world travel partner ordered the aged beef steak with foe and truffle sauce… perhaps we indulged a bit 😉
And of course; no trip finale is complete without ordering half the dessert platter.
Because it is vacation of course.
If you find yourself in Barcelona, go go go go go here! I’ll just be over here drooling.
Perhaps I should have started this post with a, “hey we went to Spain” intro! Or started posting chronologically, depicting the places we went, things we saw, restaurants we tried… but no. This time I started at the end. The end which was the best capstone I could have asked for. Hopefully the posts to come fill in the gaps 🙂
I still think it’s so so so so so so cool that you went to Barcelona!! The food looks AWESOME. Yum!!
I still think you need to take me with to Hawaii!
Yum I will definitely check this place out whenever I’m in Barcelona!
