Expect tapas, tostadas and sangria, plus wine, beer, cocktails and coffee, at around €25–40 per person. It's a good pick for groups or a low-lit dinner in the old town, with vegetarian options on the menu.

Background

About La Alcoba Azul

The Story

La Alcoba Azul sits in El Barri Gòtic, the medieval core of Ciutat Vella, in a room defined by exposed stone walls and vintage details. It's an intimate, low-lit bar serving tapas and Spanish plates, open from late morning through the night.

The Cuisine

The food is tapas and Spanish small plates — the kind of shareable spread you order a few of and keep adding to. The menu runs to tapas, tostadas (open-faced toasts piled with toppings) and sangria, with wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and dessert all on offer.

The Team

The kitchen runs an all-day tapas format, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than fixed sittings. Vegetarian options are part of the lineup, so a mixed table has things to share.
