Now led by its fourth generation, family-run Quimet i Quimet has been passed down since 1914. There’s barely space to swing a calamar (squid) in this bottle-lined, standing-room-only place, but it's a treat for the palate. Try delectable made-to-order montaditos (tapas on bread), such as salmon with greek yoghurt or tuna belly with sea urchin, with a house wine or vermouth.
