This weekend I had friends from out of town come to visit and I used them as an opportunity to try some new restaurants and eat some Catalan food. Since the weather was nice we decided to go to Barceloneta. I have always wanted to go to the Champagneria near Barceloneta so we all went there. Mistake number one was going there on a saturday afternoon in the middle of the lunch rush, mistake number two was bringing a claustrophobic girl and mistake number three was wearing sandals. I absolutely loved this place and felt like I was at a totally Barcelona establishment. The food was amazing, the people were so friendly and the rose Cava is amazing. I forgot what the exact name of the sandwich i had but it was some type of Catalan sausage with cheese. It was amazing tasting and i really like it with the two sauces. I think the best part about this place is the ambiance. Everyone is speaking catalan, the food although not typically catalan incorporates typical catalan food like fuet. My friends really enjoyed going there and my recommendations would be get there early, dont wear sandals (the floor is dirty and people break champagne glasses on the floor) and be prepared to be pushed around. I would recommend this to someone looking for a good, cheap and relatively fast fun place to eat. Nothing fancy but just really good food!

| I thought this was a funny sign...you must "taste" the sandwiches to drink the cava |
