Barcelona
Mam i Teca
With only four tables, calling ahead is necessary for this bright tapas bar. Located near the Metro Sant Antoni stop, this spot specializes in traditional Catalonian tapas. It serves typical bite-sized options like xató, a salad with escarole, cod, tuna, and anchovies, and butifarra, sausage and white beans, and prides itself on sourcing local, organic, and seasonal ingredients whenever possible. The signature dish is mushrooms with asparagus and peppers. The wine list has several Spanish values, and beer options include Almogaver, a locally made craft brew. The bar is closed on Tuesday and for a few weeks during August.
Insider Tip:
Specials are only listed in Catalan, but some staff members do speak English.
