Traditional Tavern & Tapas · El Born, Barcelona · €€

Open since 2015

Bodega La Puntual is the Grupo Varela tavern on Carrer de Montcada in El Born, occupying the former Gispert roaster space — its name a tribute to the Catalan literary classic L'Auca del senyor Esteve. Owners José Varela and Joan Carles Ninou run a two-room format: a small front bar for oysters and cava, a larger dining room behind.
