The place people end up when El Xampanyet's queue wins, and plenty say they liked it better. The door is small but the room opens up, with high ceilings and decent space between tables. Expect Catalan tapas and bodega snacks: cap i pota (veal head and trotters stewed with chickpeas), Galician octopus, fried Padrón peppers and Iberian croquettes. More locals and families than tourists.
