I am going to have a free Sat evening in Barcelona in early December. Looking for a nice place to eat with a good wine by the glass selection. I will probably be solo so places with a bar or that are comfortable for single diners also a plus! Thanks for any suggestions.
bar brutal is always fun if you don’t mind more natural leaning wines and want a lively atmosphere. gresca is also an awesome choice and has some more classical wine offerings as well. last time i was there they had comte liger belair clos du chateau for 150 euro so there are definitely some deals to be had on their list.
Monvinic is amazing. Make sure you book. It’s supposed to be one of the top wine bars in the world. It’s a really cool place with A LOT of wines by the glass.
I’ve been there on my own sat down on a small table infront of the bar, felt completely comfortable.
Leo.
monvinic actually permanently closed as a result of the pandemic! their retail store is still open.
Oh no… what a shame! It was an awesome place.
Oh that is too bad about Monvinic. As I now remember I did go there once by myself and as you say, it was great!
Mont Bar……great wines no attitude lovely service and food🍷
This looks perfect – and not too far from where I will be staying. Thanks!
I agree that Mont Bar is very good. They had a good list when I was there last - and you can always take the leftovers with you. Food was very tasty as well. I suggest making a reservation - they had to squeeze me in on the corner of one of their bar/counter areas (which was fine by me, dining solo).
Just wanted to follow up on this. I arrived in Barcelona yesterday morning (Saturday) and had made a reservation at 2:45 at Mont Bar. Connections and red tape went pretty quickly, so I got to the hotel, showered, and was able to get to Mont Bar after a nice 30 minute walk at around 2:00. They were happy to seat me early. Everyone was very friendly and solicitous. I elected to let them give me a variety of dishes from the menu at their choice – an informal tasting menu. This was accompanied by a number of wines by the glass. It was all excellent. Some lovely Xarello’s were the highlight – in fact when I told them I really liked one of them, they poured another for me. All in all a perfect way to kill some time before going to bed at 7 to nip jet lag in the bud! Thanks to everyone for the perfect recommendation.
