Barcelona Tapas Bar Y Restaurante has recently been voted Wine List of The Year 2007 by Square Meal’s Imbibe Magazine and this award-winning collection is extensive and inclusive, allowing diners to sample wines of all manner of grapes and varieties, from all over Spain. On Barcelona’s wine list you can find selections from large renowned Spanish Winemakers such as the Torres Mas La Plana as well as lesser known family run vineyards such as Can Blau, an exciting new winery making one of the finest wines in Monstant, on the edge of Priorat.
Complementing this list, Barcelona Tapas y Restaurante hosts a wide range of events including Barcelona’s tremendously successful wine tasting dinners. In a relaxed atmosphere, guests sample hand picked wines from world famous Spanish vineyards along with an extensive accompanying selection of delicious Tapas.
The price for the wine tasting dinners is £45 per person which includes a tapas meal.

I wandered past this bar the other day while thinking about where to have lunch in the area (ended up eating Pieminister pies at Planet of the Grapes in Leadenhall Market) and wondered why on earth it looked familiar!
