La Pepita
in Gracia has been around since some years and I always thought it is the
typical restaurant that serves lots of meat in traditional menus… I was happily
surprised to discover La Pepita and its younger sister La Cava.
This family
run business serves some of the best food I have had in town.
It has lots
of veggies originally presented where fresh and good products are the main
protagonists. The décor in both the places is colorful and inviting. La Cava
has many typical tiles, writing everywhere, a typical Spanish feel to it
whereas La Pepita is more of a French bistro kind of ambiance.The "Pepito" is a sort of sandwich, and in La Pepita it is is served in a very thin bread, and you have a vegetarian one as well with grilled veggies & romesco sauce. Both these places are always
crowded, and you can’t reserve. Try to go a bit earlier and you won’t be
disappointed. Perfect for vermouth, for lunch or dinner. La Cava opens only in the evenings and La Pepita is open for lunch & dinner; it offers a lunch menu as well.
