BelleBarcelone's Bravas Route!

I am a Brava fan! Being a vegetarian in Barcelona, I am glad Bravas exist- spanish fried potatoes served with a spicy sauce. By the way for some of you who have been asking: the blog BelleBarcelone is a route of my favorite places in Barcelona and about my travels and shopping;  about the vegetarian options in the places I go- but even if I don't put pictures up you do get a lot of non veg options in all the places! 
I follow the BCN Brava's blog, and they really know how to appreciate and describe the bravas they discover. It is a great and specific blog: http://www.bravasbcn.com/
This post is about some of the Bravas I have come across. The price varies depending on the places around 3 to 5 euros.  Bellow almost each picture you have the link to the review about the place. Click on it for more info about that specific restaurant. And here goes BelleBarcelone's Bravas ranking. 

BelleBarcelone's top 5: 
#1 is the famous Bravas de Tomas. I have recently read some negative reviews on them but for me they are the best. Fresh irregularly cut potatoes, fried and served with their allioli and their picante oil. Whenever I feel like I need a boost that is the place I go to.  
Bar Tomas- Carrer Major de Sarrià, 49- http://www.bellebarcelone.com/2013/01/be-brave.html

 #2 Pacomeralgo Bravas are so good. They are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, their sauce is very spicy; deliciously al punto!

#3 Las Bravas de Lolita, they look and taste beautiful; the potatoes are thin and crispy, served with a good amount of allioli and red picante sauce artistically mounted on them.

#4 Bravas of Casa de Tapas Cañota, they are light as they aren't fried  and they are served with Albert Adria's secret sauce. Those potatoes are made the galician way and they are succulent.
