Sensi Bistro

Tucked away in the Barri Gòtic is this lively spot where red walls are adorned with bright illustrations. Sure, it's a bit touristy, but Sensi serves up decent tapas, with standouts including chorizo-stuffed calamari or tomato with beef and lamb. Reserve or come early: later it'll be packed. If you're dining solo it's fun to perch up at the bar.
