When you
enter Lata-Bern@, the place resembles a decorative tavern, lined
with whimsical art pieces, lamps made out of large tin cans, blackboard walls
with chalk drawings and writings, wooden stools and wooden wine barrels
substituting as tables. The back room has regular tables and chairs which can cater to larger groups in a more intimate setting. The place is dimly lit, yet
quaint and inviting. Always attentive and friendly, the staff treat you like
family and can knowledgeably guide you through the menu and offer the best recommendations. And then there are the tapas. Ah, those
tasty, tasty tapas. Among the more original creations are unique versions
of well-known dishes such as croquettes, patatas bravas and ceviche. The ceviche, which was one of my personal
favorites, is presented in a round plastic container that allows the bartender
in you to take charge and shake it up to your liking before serving. Other
outstanding dishes include the Magyu beef blood sausage with caramelized apple
and Padron pepper, perfectly combined and rich in taste. Of the 8 items I tried, none of them disappointed. So, if you ever
find your hungry self in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, and want to enjoy innovative and palatable tapas without putting a strain on your wallet, this is one spot you really need to check out.
