Bar Cañete is a busy tapas restaurant located right off Las Ramblas on Carrer de la Unió. It offers more than the usual tortilla and pan con tomate, this place is simple yet elegant with the waiting staff more than happy to talk you through the menu and attend to your needs. It isn’t recommended for those that have a nervous disposition about being in imitate spaces, as your elbows basically meet your neighbors but that is all part of the fun.

We were actually recommended to go by Barcelona walking tour guide The Treasures and it didn’t disappoint.  As we tucked in to dishes such as berenjenas a la miel (shavings of aubergine with honey), sepia (cuttlefish) and rabo de buey al “vino tinto” (ox tail in vino tinto) we knew it was a great find and an ideal spot for tapas when in the center.
