El Velodromó is an impressive retake on a classic Barcelona tapas bar. A popular meeting spot for politicians and artists during the mid-1900s, this legendary institution now serves up some of the city's finest tapas.
Run by Jordi Vilà, owner of Michelin-starred Alkimia, El Velodromó is a café, breakfast and bar all in one. The menu is extensive with something for everyone but our favorites are the traditional tapas plates - huevos estrellados (literally broken eggs) and the crowd favorite patatas bravas (spicy fried potatoes). Wash down your meal with a Moritz beer for a truly local taste of Barcelona.
Tapas with Style
In addition to the food, the building itself is worth admiring. El Velodromó is housed in a historic art deco building that is full of splendor and charm. The original staircase leads to the mezzanine floor, from where you can simply watch life unfold downstairs.
