L'apatzem - Barcelona

Couldn’t get into Velodromo a couple of blocks away. This place had lots of seating and a hard working waiter covering the tables. The food was on the greasy side. The olives with anchovies really hit the spot. The croquettes were hard to tell apart.

Being from Canada and not used to European/Spanish cuisine, it seemed a challenge. We chatted with a couple of girls at a table next to us for suggestions, and luckily they spoke English. We ended up ordering a couple of times as we got used to what the process was. All dishes we sampled were tasty, even down to a wedge of what was like potato pie. we had stuff that ranged from little sausages in a sauce to some kind of meat in a spicy sauce, to what appeared to be some kind of deep fried ball of something or other, but all was tasty and fresh. Place seemed to be run a mother and son outfit, very quaint sidewalk style with ice cold beer.

Croquetas ricas, varilla de estrellas damm. buena relación precio/calidad teniendo en cuenta la ubicación privilegiada.

Bar con una buena terraza en calle peatonal por lo que es muy una gota. el muy buen servicio, hay un par de camareros y sirven rápidamente. tienen una carta bastante completa de cervezas y tapas. croquetas muy buenas.

Come muy bien fuera, en la terraza, personal muy educado y atento, la comida muy bien presentada.
