Quimet i Quimet

Curated by Alfonso Garcia, Renaissance Navigator

Spanish-style tapas bars can be found anywhere in the world now, and Quimet i Quimet may be the original they are all imitating. Far from the sort of clubby tapas restaurant you ll find in London or New York, this tiny, standing-room-only bodega is packed to the rafters exquisite canned foods and has one of the best wine collections in Spain. Find a spot at the counter, order a drink, and savor tapas like salmon with truffled honey, or tuna with caviar and balsamic syrup. This is the real deal.
