Venus Delicatessen

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


This sweet little deli charms you from the minute you step down from the street into its bohemian interior. Artworks line the walls, plants overhang the bar, and there's an array of bags, purses and other items for sale. Devour reliable tapas like bacallà salat (dried salted cod) and ham croquettes while jazz standards play.
