Barcelona Restaurants

Dinner is served at any time between nine o'clock and midnight. Catalan cuisine uses olive oil, aromatic herbs, fruit and fresh produce such as fish, meat and vegetables. A Catalan staple is pa amb tomàquet: toasted bread smeared with tomato and seasoned with olive oil. Also try Paella (a name that may hide many different kinds of rice concoctions) or Arròs negre (Black Rice) and tapas. Coffee is served strong. Cafe solo is a small strong black coffee; cortado tallat is with milk; cafe con leche has even more milk. If you want a coffee with brandy then ask for carajillo.
