Taberna Sants Joans
Ostensibly a tapas bar, Sants Joans offers superb full plates of local specialties. The ever-changing menu reflects the best the Mercado Central has to offer that day. (The taberna is on the steps behind the market en route to the Lonja de la Seda.) In season, one of the very best salads is the Valencian tomato stuffed with mountain ham and cured tuna belly (mojama). We’re also partial to the grilled seafood, especially local scallops or zamburiñas, a variegated scallop brought in from Galicia. They’re served as the whole creature, not just the hinge muscle. Wines are mostly local, inexpensive, and suited to the cuisine.
