Quimet & Quimet
A tiny, bottle-lined standing bar in Poble-sec famous for its made-to-order montaditos.
The call
Worth it if you are watching the budget and you only have one day.
Why
- 01
A few square metres crammed wall-to-ceiling with bottles, where you stand and eat little stacked canapés built on the spot from tinned and preserved delicacies.
Our read - 02
Magic for curious couples and solo grazers; claustrophobic and impractical for groups or anyone needing a seat.

What to order
The plates that decide it
- The smoked-salmon, Greek-yogurt and truffled-honey montadito — the house's most famous bite — order it first
- Mojama (salt-cured tuna) with almonds, plus a tinned-conservas plate and a glass of vermut — reliable and very local
- Coming at peak dinner rush — no seats and packed — you'll barely fit, let alone enjoy it
Plan it well
- Cost
- ~€25–35 per head with a few glasses
- Allow
- 45 min – 1 hour
