Squeeze into Quimet & Quimet, a wine-lined Poble Sec bodega with barely room to stand. Work through a rotating counter of montaditos topped with premium cured meats and tinned delicacies, best enjoyed as an unhurried lunch or tapas-crawl stop.

Reasons to go

Founded in 1914 as a wine shop, it has been run by the same family for five generations, now specializing in montaditos and conservas.
The space holds only about 20 people standing, with floor-to-ceiling shelves of wine, liquor and tinned goods lining the tiny room.
Signature bites include unusual combinations like smoked salmon with truffled honey and yogurt, or sea urchin with caviar, built on quality canned seafood.

Full description

Quimet & Quimet is barely more than a narrow bar lined with wine bottles, but its montaditos — bite-sized canapés built on quality bread with premium tinned and cured toppings — have made it one of Barcelona's most celebrated tapas stops. At 4.6 stars from over 5,500 reviews and a must-see score of 100, it holds genuine landmark status, reflected in high culture and local scores that mark it as an authentic institution rather than a manufactured attraction.

There's no real seating, so the experience is standing at the counter working through a rotating selection of small bites. It suits an early, unhurried lunch or evening stop as part of a wider tapas crawl.

Reviews

This was my favorite restaurant of all the places I have visited while in Spain! The whole experience was absolutely AMAZING. Arrive early for your choice seating location. We ate at the bar and that was so fun watching everything get prepared. Definitely worth the trip. You get 1 hour to dine in.
