Bodega La Palma

Dating from 1935, this high-ceilinged bar lined with old wine barrels and vintage photos rebranded itself in the 21st century as a gastro-bodega. Its Catalan dishes are a cut above standard bar fare and include some vegetarian options. There’s a great value menú del dia that changes weekly, but most come for the appetizers and tapas. Standouts include croquettes filled with squid-in-ink, moixama (cured tuna) with hazelnuts, and spicy patatas bravas. It’s popular, so worth making a reservation, by WhatsApp.
