Historic horchata and turron shop offering fresh artisanal horchata made daily and traditional sweets in a charming Barcelona establishment.
The Delekta Review
Verdú is a historic Eixample institution specializing in horchata and turrón — not a restaurant, strictly speaking, but a sweet shop that has been serving Barcelona long before most of the city's current food landmarks existed. The fresh artisanal horchata is made daily and served cold in the traditional manner: thick, almond-forward, properly sweet without drifting into cloying. The turrón selection runs from classic almond to creative seasonal variations. The old-fashioned interior preserves the atmosphere of a Barcelona that predates most of the "institutions" on any food blogger's current list. Prices are accessible — this is sweet-shop economics rather than gastro-shop markup. Come for the horchata on a hot afternoon; leave with a box of turrón. The kind of place that rewards the detour even when you thought you didn't need dessert.
