Flor de Vid
I was glancing through Margarita Puig’s book “Restaurantes de Barcelona donde nunca te han llevado” (Barcelona restaurants where they’ve never taken you to” and came across a good write-up for the Flor de Vid restaurant. As it’s “just up the road” (two blocks) from us and we’ve never been there before we thought we’d give it a try. We were a bit apprehensive on entering because we were the only customers (on a Saturday night at 10pm - it should have been busy). However we sat down and had a really excellent meal with a fine bottle of albariño. All exceptionally good value and fantastically well cooked. There was an amuse-bouche of creamed fennel and then we had a selecton of tapas to start with a very tasty carpaccio of tuna, goat cheese croquetas and pimientos de padrón salted to perfection. Isabel went for an arroz de langostinas and I had magret de pato - again both courses were perfectly cooked. Some surprise desserts followed and we left extremely happy after a couple of chupitos of orujo. We’ll be back.
