Background
About La Mestressa
The Story
La Mestressa is a tapas bar in the Sants neighbourhood, in Barcelona's Sants-Montjuïc district. It's a lively, casual spot with eclectic decor, the kind of place set up for sharing plates and ordering a round.
The Cuisine
The kitchen does Mediterranean and Catalan tapas, the small-plates format you order a few of and pass around the table. Google's summary singles out tapas, cocktails and a specialty egg dish, and there's wine, beer and coffee alongside dessert.
The Team
It's built around a shared-plate tapas format, so the menu is meant to be ordered across the table rather than as single courses. Cocktails sit next to the food rather than as an afterthought.
