Belmonte

Top choice in La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Run by two welcoming sisters, this tiny, down-to-earth rust-walled bodega in the southern Barri Gòtic whips up beautifully prepared Tarragona-style small plates rooted in homegrown ingredients from the family garden. Try the excellent truita, beautifully rich patatons (salted new potatoes) with romesco or sliced chillies and courgette carpaccio topped with olive oil and goat's cheese, plus the house-made vermouth (€2.75).
