I've written about tapas in Barcelona before; they're ubiquitous and delicious, the bar food and light snack of the city. But what if you want to break the mold a little? Here are a couple good spots to beyond just tapas when you stay at Le Méridien Barcelona.
Buenas Migas serves tapas, but it's best known for its scrumptious take on focaccia including a delicious mozzarella and zucchini variation. It's a little bit of Genoa in Catalonia.
It seems hard to write about Spanish cuisine without invoking Ferrand Adrià; in Barcelona, a couple of his students have opened Santa Maria a tapas bar like none other. Well, one other: its sister restaurant, simply Santa, a couple blocks away. El Bulli's cutting edge techniques meet traditional small plates in these intimate restaurants, and draws a very fashionable crowd.
The New York Times recently reviewed some of the more creative yet affordable restaurants in Barcelona; I'd recommend checking out Hisop, where minimalism applies to both the ambiance and the dishes, but not the flavor.
