Quimet i Quimet is a traditional tapas bar located in Poble Sec which has been around for 4 generations. The small cellar restaurant has a friendly, lively atmosphere and a huge collection of top quality wines. The tapas and montaditos (bite-sized open-faced sandwiches) are made in front of you, and handed across the bar for you to eat on the spot. The bar has standing room only, so you will have to eat standing around a table, but this gives the place an additional charm.
Quimet i Quimet has fallen victim to its own success: you should arrive right when it opens to be sure to find a little corner in which to enjoy their delicious food. The smoked salmon, yoghurt and truffle honey, smoked cod liver and caviar or tuna belly and homemade tomato chutney montaditos are particularly tasty. The specialty for dessert is torta del casar from Extremadura served with syrupy chestnuts.
