Formatgeria La Seu

Top choice in La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Dedicated to artisan cheeses from across Spain, this small shop is run by the oh-so-knowledgeable Katherine McLaughlin. The antithesis of mass production, it sells only the best from small-scale farmers and the stock changes regularly. Wine-and-cheese tastings (€9.50 to €32) in the cosy back room are fun, and the team has a great little wine bar, Bar Zim, next-door.
