Frommer's Review

This is a great tapas bar, especially for cheese, of which it offers the finest selection in Barcelona. Built at the turn of the 20th century, the tavern in the Poble Sec sector is still run by the fifth generation of Quimets. Their wine cellar is one of the best stocked of any tapas bar, and their cheese selection is varied. One night I sampled four on the same plate, including nevat (a tangy goat cheese), cabrales (an intense Spanish blue cheese), zamorano (a hardy, nutty sheep's milk cheese), and torta del Casar (a soft, creamy farm cheese). If I were a little more adventurous I could have gone for the tou dels tillers, a cheese stuffed with trout roe and truffles. Of course, you can also order other delights such as mussels with tomato confit and caviar, razor clams, and even sturgeon.
