After an incredible culinary-focused wedding in the South of France at the stunning Château L’Hospitalet in Narbonne, my husband and I hit the road (actually a train) to head down to Barcelona and then the Basque Country for a honeymoon filled with eating and drinking.
We made some reservations at restaurants that required it, but we also stumbled into a few spots on our own in the moment, or at the suggestion of someone local. Here are very honest reviews of some of the places we ate and drank for your future planning purposes.
Northern Spain Dining Adventure Reviews Barcelona Mont Bar
C/ de la Diputació, 220, 08011 Barcelona, Spain
Mont Bar is a 1-star Michelin restaurant that is really only for snacking. Most of the dishes are very small – like one bite each – so, you should order several per person. The food is good, but not really my style. I like to feel satisfied when I leave a restaurant, and Mont Bar left something to be desired.
The ambiance is bistro-like. Small and quaint interior with some outside sidewalk seating. When we were there, the guests were mostly American from the accents I heard.
The sommelier basically dismissed us when I asked for a specific suggestion for a bottle of wine. I like to drink as locally as I can when traveling, so I asked him to suggest something from the area – and pointed to the section on Priorat (I love Garnacha).
