Our dish — the plate we'd order here first

Bomba

A bomba, a ball of mashed potato around spiced meat, fried, with allioli, the garlic sauce, and a hot sauce. The first thing to the table.

Also on our table

  • A beer or a vermouth (vermut)

La Cova Fumada

Catalan tapas · Barceloneta tavern · Barceloneta, Barcelona

Carrer del Baluard 56, 08003 Barcelona

No sign over the door, just a Barceloneta tavern with a griddle and a fryer. Barcelona's bomba, the fried potato ball, is the reason to find it.

We'd add

Sardinas a la plancha

Sardines cooked on the plancha, the griddle. When they're on, we'd have them after the potato ball.
