El Vaso de Oro
Narrow 1962 beer-and-griddle bar, house brews and solomillo
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A famously narrow bar standing since 1962, where cooks griddle behind the counter as you watch - foie-topped solomillo, patatas bravas, plump prawns - washed down with their own house-brewed beer. Always packed, no reservations, theatre of the plancha. A bona fide Barcelona institution.
