Why it’s in the log
Fino Bar brings Andalusian tapas and wine to Gràcia, a residential Barcelona neighbourhood that sees far fewer visitors than the Gothic Quarter or the Eixample. The street it sits on is ordinary and lined with apartment blocks — nothing about the setting signals a destination restaurant.
The food is the reason it has a 4.6 rating from over 500 reviews despite the location: creative takes on southern Spanish tapas paired with a wine list that gets attention from locals rather than tour groups.
A good pick for an evening spent actually in a Barcelona neighbourhood rather than moving between landmarks.
“Southern Spanish cooking done properly in a neighbourhood most visitors never walk through — worth the detour from the Gothic Quarter.”
