Cal Pep

In this lively classic in El Born neighbourhood, the bar takes centre stage and the product speaks for itself. There is no menu as such; the team guides you according to what is fresh. Seafood, fish and stews are the essence of the offering. Expect clams, baby squid, potato omelette with sobrasada, tuna tartare and impeccable catch of the day. Everything is served with pace, warmth and zero pretension. The atmosphere is bustling and that's part of the charm. Not cheap, but if you don't go overboard, you can get out for a reasonable price. The bar doesn't take bookings, but the wait is worth it. A must.
