Quimet i Quimet - Spain ( Barcelona)
Pin It Now!
Quimet i Quimet was a pretty good walk from the busier area of Barcelona, but well worth it. Quimet i Quimet is the most quaint little eatery. Walking into the street, you almost question if you might have mistakely taken the wrong turn somewhere. Quimet i Quimet is so different from the extravagant and intricate foods I experienced in Barcelona. There is a small Spanish menu in posted in the doorway.

| mixed bread platter |
A mixture of all different types of breads and croutons drizzled lightly with olive oil.
 |
| mixed cheese platter |
The mixed cheese platter is prepared for a daily assortment of cheeses. Water chestnuts and some jelly provide a delicious surprise of taste and textures to this plate.
 |
| mixed meats and pate platter |
Verdict: Some of the best food I had in Barcelona.

El Quim - Spain (Barcelona)

| El Quim inside La Boqueria |
This small first come first serve seafood bar is located in the middle of La Boqueria market. Don't be fooled by the empty seats in the picture. These seats were the hottest seats in the market. People hover over the diners eating hoping to snatch a seat up at the bar. Luckily, I was able to slide into one without having to wait too long.
 |
| croquettes |
Probably not the best croquettes I had in Spain. Although I shouldn't have expected much since El Quim is known for their seafood.
 |
| Papas bravas |
One of Spain's well known dishes. This dish is made of fried cubed potatoes drizzled with mayo and a spicy tomato sauce. I purposely held off eating this dish my whole trip, so this is actually the only time (but not my first ever) I ate this dish in Spain. The spicy tomato sauce gave these lightly crispy potato chunks a nice kick. I could eat a giant plate of these!
 |
| grilled baby octopus with fried runny egg |
This dish was one of the single best dishes I had in Spain. A little on the pricey side (~$30USD), but so worth it. I actually wished I ordered another one - I didn't realize the portion would be so small. The slight chewiness from the baby octopus dipped in the gooey, runny egg was perfection.
Verdict: A taste of the fresh seafood in the middle of a bustling marketplace makes this place a must
experience in Barcelona.
