Tapas

Food in Barcelona

Date: April 3^rd, 2011

            My Boyfriend Max came to visit me from Rome this past weekend and was dying for me to take him to my favorite Tapa restaurant. I have been telling him for weeks now how much I love eating tapas over a typical style meal because you  truly get to try everything you are interested in on the menu. I have been to a few various places and finally found the Tapas restaurant I like best. It is called Qu Qu and it located at Passeig de Gràcia, 24.

            We went for lunch on Saturday and sat outside because the weather was so beautiful. Max and I shared a pitcher of sangria to start off the meal. After gazing at the menu for what felt like quite a long time we finally picked out a few different options and ordered. We ordered chips wit avocado, meatballs, chicken skewers, a shrimp dish, and of course the typical Catalan appetizer bread with tomato paste. It is funny because when I first came to Barcelona I thought that this bread was free but I soon found out that it is not. I enjoy Tapas restaurants because they provide pictures on the menus so I am able to see what the food I may order will actually look like. Max liked this aspect of Tapas too.

            Our food came very quickly and of course we finished everything on our plates. We decided to order another pitcher of sangria after we were done eating because it was just that delicious. After about an hour and a half we paid the check and walked around Barcelona. It was a great day.
