Back From Barcelona – Lots of Tapas And Other Good Food – #7

We continued our Spanish culinary adventures into Barcelona after leaving Mallorca. Once again, the food was deliciously amazing. We ate a lot of tapas again, as well as other fabulous meals.

On our first day in Barcelona, in between tours, it was lunch time. We knew we had to eat something, but we didn’t want a lot because we knew we had our first night of tapas coming later. Or we thought we weren’t going to eat a lot. Wrong!

We went to a little Peruvian restaurant called La Brasa Roja. We enjoyed Spanish foods from both the old world and the new. Peru was one of the Spanish colonies.

It was a very warm day, so before we ordered our food, we started off with some Sangria. We thought we were going to get a small pitcher, but no. This was our first clue that this restaurant believes in large portions. We drank it all though. It was way too good to leave any unfinished, besides, it’s bad luck:)

The sangria was followed by a little tray of Peruvian toppings, which we added to our meal. I loved the grilled corn. It’s like popcorn.

Once again, we ordered one plate and split it between us. But as you can see, it was still a feast. We ordered a mixed meat grilled platter that came with fries and salad. We had chicken, lamb, beef, ribs, and pork. I certainly ate a little of everything, but left the bulk of it for Larry. Again, we ate almost everything. Everything was mui delicioso!

I have no idea where this was, since we found it by literally just strolling around Barcelona, but we are very glad we did stop in. I highly recommend La Brasa Roja to anyone in the area. The food was delicious and the service was great.
