Taverna El Glop Restaurant
I was so lonely that I went out to eat to kill time... We were really shocked to see the dishes served over and over again on the table next to us!
A different version of paella from the ones we had before, it was our favorite version among the several meals we had in Barcelona! The taste was actually somewhat similar to rissotto, because there was a lot of sauce, and the rice absorbed a lot of sauce, and it tasted really fresh. The amount of rice in Spanish paella was really big. Before I had paella, I didn't know I could eat so much rice. The amount of seafood was also very large, and now I miss their paella so much! When I was in Barcelona, I actually felt happy to eat every day because there were many eating habits and cooking methods there, which were actually very suitable for Chinese stomachs. This dish, which I called fish stew, cured me because I hadn't eaten such hard dishes for a long time before I was there. In addition, the sauce of this dish was very delicious, but there was no white rice for us to mix with it, hahaha.
They also had a roasted green onion dish that many people ordered, and we actually wanted to order it, but we didn't dare to order it at first because we didn't know what it was. We will definitely have the opportunity to eat it in the future!

Most of the restaurants in Spain called Taberna have classic traditional cuisine. As soon as I walked into Glop, two words jumped into my mind: Rural! Cuisine! Pimiento de padrón. The green peppers were fragrant, cooked at the right temperature, and the portion was super large, one serving was equivalent to two servings. Mejillones al vapor mussels were big and plump, and the soup had the taste of lime. Berenjenas rellenas was better than Italian Lasaña. I ordered a piece of toasted bread, and when it was served, there was a clove of garlic and a small tomato on the plate. This scene can probably only be experienced in Catalonia. Cut the fresh garlic and tomato in half and spread them on the toasted hot bread slices, and finally sprinkle with olive oil and appropriate amount of salt. The unique way of eating in Catalonia, the bread is crispy and soft, and the aroma of garlic and olive oil is perfectly combined. The main feature of the restaurant is paella. I ordered too much this time and couldn't eat seafood rice. I will come back to try it next time! The only flaw is that the wine tastes average. The dishes are perfect!
This is a restaurant that is popular among locals, and the dishes are very authentic.
Barcelona, a restaurant worth visiting [Food Guide] Detailed address: Taverna El Glop Transportation Guide: If you take the subway, Line 7 is closer, Line 5 is also OK, just walk a little longer. The hotel we stayed in was less than 2 kilometers away from the restaurant, a 20-minute walk, and it was easy to find it using Baidu Navigation or Googlemap. Business Hours: Many restaurants in Europe open after 7-8 pm, and their dinner time is basically at this time. Suddenly I remembered that Indians are greatly influenced by this, and they also eat late. So everyone should go to the restaurant later, if it's too early, the restaurant may not be able to accommodate you. Recommended dishes: You must have a salad for the appetizer, the signature salad is 6 euros, which is composed of vegetables, sweet corn, olives, shredded meat, eggs, tomatoes, and various ingredients, and the salad dressing is delicious. Don't save this money, it can wake up your taste buds You can try roasted scallions. There is no smell. After roasting, peel off the black skin on the outside and eat the scallion with sauce. It is retro. Forget roasted snails. For people from Hunan or Sichuan, such snails cannot be compared with those in China. When the snails are served, you can see the stringy mucus when you pick up the meat with a bamboo stick. The snail mucus is still used for facial masks. It feels like it is not cleaned... The taste is also average. It will be a little fishy without sauce. The sauce can cover it a little. The three of us didn't finish the last plate. It really doesn't suit the Chinese taste. Our snails are more delicious. Paella is more recommended Spanish locals think that authentic paella is half-cooked. They don't like to eat fully cooked rice, usually fat rice grains like Northeast rice. I remember the first time I went to a famous restaurant in Barcelona with my clients to eat Tapas, I also tried paella. Because TAPAS is a small-portion dining style, the TAPAS plate is just the size of a coffee cup tray, and each dish has this much. So actually each person only has a little bit of paella, but I felt very uncomfortable eating it. I had to smile and say it was delicious and interesting after finishing it... In fact, the rice was all undercooked, which was impressive. However, the paella in this store is cooked, and the seafood portion is relatively large. Generally, the minimum order is 2 people, and the price is 15 euros per portion, which is more than 30 euros for 2 people. Four large shrimps, a few mussels, a few clams, and some diced squid are mixed in the rice. The rice is mixed with a seasoning, and the seafood is steamed on top. It's about like this. You can try it. But it's okay to eat the half-cooked rice that the locals like. This is also a feature. Isn't traveling to experience different customs and practices from yourself? Only by seeing various lifestyles and feeling that the local water and soil nurture the local people can you have a broad-minded mentality, not easily criticize, and be more receptive to new things and new ideas. Roasted rabbit is a delicacy you can't miss. Roasted rabbit is cheaper than roasted pork chops. Half a rabbit costs 11 euros and a pork chop costs 15 euros. Although pork is very expensive in China now, I still think it's worth eating a rabbit. Because it is freshly roasted rabbit meat, the meat is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and you can't stop eating it in your mouth. I have only eaten cured rabbit meat in China, and the impression is that rabbit meat is always tight. The rabbit meat I tried this time did not step on thunder. I went to this restaurant twice in a row and ordered rabbits, and I still praised it. Red wine beef is a must-order when entering the store. It was also ordered based on the recommendation. It turned out to be quite good. The beef is stewed soft and tasty, and the taste of red wine penetrates into the meat, making every bite of beef amazing. Average cost per person: 200-300 yuan We went there twice, 3 people each time, and basically spent more than 90 euros. Restaurant score: 4 stars recommended It is a restaurant in Barcelona that is worth trying once, but you can't go there too often. Good things should be kept in memory and can be taken out and savored at any time, that is a good memory. May every dear you have a unique memory of your own.
Taverna El Glop restaurant is not far from Plaza del Sol in Barcelona. The apartment we rented is also nearby. It is also a popular restaurant, especially for Chinese people. The main reason why Chinese people like it is that the paella is large in quantity and has a lot of seafood. More importantly, it is not as hard as the rice in other restaurants, which is suitable for our stomach; There are many Chinese people going there, and the restaurant staff can speak a few words in Chinese. I feel more at home when I go there. The dishes are really good. The garlic shrimp is fresh and chewy with the garlic slices. The roasted asparagus is sprinkled with sea salt and dipped in a special sauce when eating. Although it is not amazing, it is also unique; the salt-baked snails are worth eating, at least for mainlanders, it is an elegant dish; the characteristics of the paella have been mentioned above, so it must be ordered; the dessert, lemon ice cream, is amazing, amazing, amazing!!! (Although more people recommend orange juice ice cream online). A side note that I must mention: There are really many thieves in Spain. When I just walked outside the restaurant, I saw a stack of Japanese passports on a pillar. I guess the thieves stole the wallets of Japanese tourists, took the money, and put the documents somewhere (he is still a thief with a code of conduct). I remembered that an acquaintance of mine was traveling in Spain, and his passport and money were all stolen, which added a lot of trouble to his trip. Beware of thieves, remember!
