Patatas bravas are, par excellence, one of the most representative tapas of the locals. The passion for tasting the best of the city is so great that there are even festivals dedicated exclusively to them. But today we don’t want to talk about any event, nor do we plan to do a countdown with five or seven of the best for you to try them all, today we want to talk about a specific place, the Tomás de Sarrià, there you can find the best patatas bravas in Barcelona.
Lots of movement and the best potatoes!
Located at number 49 of Calle Mayor de Sarrià, it is one of the places where you can perceive an atmosphere of yesteryear. As you enter you can see all the movement that makes this place unique: waiters going from one side to the other serving the best patatas bravas.
They are surprisingly delicious and when cut by hand they are irregular but golden brown, thanks to the perfect time they are left in the hot olive oil.
You can ask for them bathed in traditional aioli oil or with garlic. But for the more daring tastes, they will probably opt for the hot sauce, which is famous for being a homemade recipe and, so far, is a secret that enchants with its mixture of mild aroma and powerful flavor.
It is enough to read the reviews about the restaurant to know that at Tomás Sarrià they take making patatas bravas very seriously.
For example, for some people this is a cult bar for patatas bravas and they recommend the mixed ones, which accompanied by a beer, are one of the best gastronomic combinations.
Another of the most outstanding features of this tapa is, according to diners, the price/quality/ration ratio, which, in addition, adds to the excellent service provided in the place, even at busy times when you see potatoes passing all over the place.
