Open since 1954

The Delekta Review
Vermut-bar register — house vermut from the Reus area, served on tap with the standard slice of orange and an olive Conservas tradition runs deep — anchovies, razor clams, mussels, squid, all from the tin and treated as the menu, not a fallback
Founded 1954 by the Quimet family; passed father-to-son until 2010, when brothers Carlos and David Montero bought it The Monteros kept the name, the décor, and the prices — the only deliberate change was no change Same owners reopened the centenary Bodega Nulles near Sagrada Família in 2025, extending the conservation playbook
House vermut on tap; Cantabrian anchovies; Galician-style octopus; Russian salad; cheese and embotits boards Conservas range — razor clams with olives and pickles, stuffed squid with grilled aubergine, fuet and breadsticks
Hydraulic tile floors, white marble-top tables, dark wood refrigerator, hanging wooden barrels — original 1954 fittings Packed any night — locals at the bar, regulars greeted by name, no concessions to a tourist register
Arrive early — the bar fills by mid-evening and there's no overflow strategy beyond standing at the bar
