Established in 1929, El Xampanyet is tucked away in a Barcelona alley. Its vintage exterior retains its original decor, and inside, you can see locals chatting, drinking, and eating. They serve a variety of classic Spanish tapas, including roasted bell peppers and octopus and potatoes. The seafood is also incredibly fresh and delicious.
