La Pepita, Restaurant, Barcelona

The first thing you’ll notice about la Pepita is that the restaurant walls are full of happy customers’ signatures and messages. The second is the ‘pepitas’ on the menu:  a twist of the Spanish classic ‘Pepito’, which is usually a simple grilled pork and cheese baguette sandwich. Despite being the specialities of La Pepita,  which is usually he gastronomic offer of the place doesn’t stop there: tapas and small dishes, desserts and drinks are also available here, one of the hottest spots to eat in Gràcia.

The restaurant has a large bar (perfectly suited both for eating and drinking) and a smallish dining room with a few tables that are usually jam-packed with locals and tourists alike.

Unfortunately, they don’t take reservations, so try to get there early to make sure you get a table or proper space at the bar.

Divento recommends…

The very original ‘tapalatas’ (tapas served in a tin can), particularly the hummus, beetroot, cucumber and mint one, though the rest are pretty tasty too. Ideally, go there with a few friends and order several tapas so you can taste different dishes, and do order the ‘meravellós’, the ‘marvellous’ house Gin&Tonic.
