Cafè Adonis 1940 Barcelona

New favorites

""Cafè Adonis 1940" in Barcelona immediately felt like home. Maybe it's the wooden interior, the staff, the hanging fairy lights, but I just love it there."

Have you ever entered a place that immediately felt like home? That's the feeling I got when I first found this bar. I was looking for a place to sit before going to watch a movie at Texas cinema and I found it just two blocks down. Maybe it was the wooden interior or the fairy lights hanging on all the windows, but I felt very comfortable there.

And the menu did not disappoint either. It is so full and so diverse, so I can't recommend anything particular, but I can say I tried the tortilla de patata (the  Spanish omelet) and the vermouth, and I loved them.

Their staff is always nice and smiling. They even bring you small tapas for free with your drinks. There is a space for smokers also. They have some cute little tables outside and it's almost never that cold in Barcelona so you can enjoy your drink outside.
