The Delekta Review

Frying patatas bravas on Carrer Major de Sarrià since 1964; recipe and format have not been touched in more than six decades Wall Street Journal placed Bar Tomás at number one in its 2024 "Spain's Hot Potato" Top 5 list of patatas bravas

Hours 12:30–16:00 and 18:30–22:00, Monday to Saturday — closed Sunday Bravas method: Prades Kenebek, brief par-boil, cool, then fried twice in olive oil; sauce is a garlicky allioli plus a chili-cayenne oil — not the standard tomato bravas register

Patatas bravas — the signature, ration €2.60 Empanadillas de bonito — homemade tuna empanadas Croquetas de pollo — chicken croquettes Cantabrian anchovies and boquerones

Old-village Sarrià corner on Carrer Major — small unfussy room with a small terrace running along the kerb, where the queue tends to gather Sarrià's village atmosphere — calmer than central BCN — is part of why locals make the trip out

Quoted in

“Their bravas potatoes are legendary and one of the best-known in Barcelona.” — Macarfi
