Sagardi

Basque Pintxos & Grilled Meats · El Born, Barcelona · €€€

Open since 1996

Open since 1996 on Carrer de l'Argenteria — the toothpick-counted pintxos format that defines Basque dining in central Barcelona. Eighty-plus pintxos rotate through the downstairs counter (€2.80 each, paid by toothpick count); upstairs, a wood-and-stone Basque grill where txuletón by weight is the headline.

The Delekta Review

Iñaki López de Viñaspre's first Barcelona Sagardi opened in 1996 — the chain has since grown across Spain and beyond, but Argenteria remains the city flagship Part of Grupo Sagardi; sister BCN locations near the Picasso Museum, Diagonal Mar and the Museu d'Història de Catalunya

Two-level format: ground-floor pintxos counter for self-service browsing; upstairs grill restaurant with open kitchen and stone-and-beam Basque-tavern decor Wine list weighted toward Rioja; January-April brings a sidrería menu evoking Gipuzkoa cider houses (txistorra, tortilla de bacalao, txuletón)

Txuletón — Basque T-bone sold by weight (~€6 per 100g), grilled bone-in over wood embers Iberian ham croquettes from the pintxos counter Fried txistorra (Basque fresh sausage) Grilled morcilla with piquillo peppers Sidrería season: txistorra de Orio frita, tortilla de bacalao, txuletón menu pulled from kupela cider taps

Stone walls, brick archways, wood beams — Basque-tavern register two minutes from Santa María del Mar Outdoor terrace plus open-kitchen upstairs dining room
