Pinchos

Pinchos. What is tapas for Spain is Pinchos for Barcelona. The main difference is that the ingredient of each tapa usually tops a slice of bread & is pinched with a toothpick. Some popular Catalan pinchos (or tapas) are patates braves (potatoes with a spicy sauce), truita de patates (omelet with potatoes), croquetes de pollastre i pernil (croquettes of chicken & ham), pernil iberic (the famous spanish ham) & xipirons (fried squid).

For a modern and gourmet version of pinchos you can go to Rao Restaurant at Carrer de les Sitges, 3. In Rao they use the best seasonal products to plate creative modern delights based on a variety of Mediterranean and traditional local dishes.
