Why we recommend it
Quimet & Quimet has been pouring drinks in Poble Sec since 1914 and has no kitchen at all. Instead, everything is built at the counter from top-quality conservas, the tinned and preserved seafood Spain takes very seriously: cockles, anchovies, tuna belly and more, often piled onto small toasts called montaditos.
The space is tiny, with walls of bottles from floor to ceiling, and most people eat standing up, so come early or expect to wait. Order a few montaditos and a glass of vermouth or wine, and let the staff suggest combinations. It works best as an aperitivo stop before dinner on nearby Carrer de Blai.
