are exceptional. The menu balances traditional Catalan flavours with a contemporary, innovative approach centred around local products I love a classic tavern with an amazing atmosphere, like Bar del Pla. It’ s in the centre of the city, surrounded by the labyrinth of narrow streets in the El Born neighbourhood, but it feels authentic and boasts a great wine selection and top-tier local products. Pompa is less than six months old and very“ local.” It’ s a tiny wine bar with a creative kitchen that hasn’ t been discovered by the tourist crowds yet. It has just five bar stools, but there’ s great energy.
