Why we recommend it
Bar Cañete takes the format of a classic Spanish tapas bar and polishes it, with counter seating, a dining room and a menu of traditional tapas made with fish and seafood from Catalan markets and vegetables from local growers.
Sit at the counter if you can, and order a spread of small plates to share, guided by what is in season. The kitchen runs from 1pm to midnight, which suits a post-theatre meal after the nearby Liceu. It is closed on Sundays, and booking is wise at peak times, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings.
