Bar Zim

Top choice in La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


From the welcoming team behind the terrific Formatgeria La Seu (next door) comes this teensy, intimate, cavern-like bar where Catalan (Penedès, Empordà) and lesser-known Spanish wines (glass €3.60) take centre stage below beamed ceilings. Pair with one of the delicate platters of local cheeses or cold cuts with artisan jams – now this is why you came to Barcelona.
