A stone’s throw from Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s most famous tree-lined avenue, you’ll find Bar Lobo – literally “The Wolf Bar”. We decided to make like Red Riding Hood and go and see what this particular wolf was up to…<\/p>\n

Bar Lobo: a hip venue<\/h2>\n

\nNothing could be further from grandmother’s cottage! The décor at Bar Lobo is a subtle blend of cutting-edge design, elegance and originality.<\/p>\n

The main room is lit by a selection of Chinese lanterns of all different sizes. The wooden furniture (made by the woodcutter?) echoes the floors, whilst the coloured chair legs add a fun touch.<\/p>\n

The big black pillar, plastered with posters for nightclubs in Barcelona, creates a contrasting urban vibe which we particularly liked.\n<\/p>\n

Bar Lobo: fresh produce<\/h2>\n

\nThe menu at Bar Lobo is sophisticated, original and up-to-date, a perfect reflection of the setting. Examples include a delicious stone bass ceviche (tried and tested!), fried aubergines with honey, platters of Iberico ham (Three Little Pigs, is that you?) and substantial 6-oz griddled burgers.<\/p>\n

We weren’t ravenously hungry when we visited, so we chose the light and flavoursome quinoa salad.<\/p>\n

The other reason for choosing a “lighter” option was that we wanted to save space for dessert: a delicious apple tart with vanilla ice cream!<\/p>\n

The fresh, tasty and sophisticated dishes on offer are a treat for the tastebuds. The Boquería market<\/a> isn’t far away, and we suspect a lot of the food at Bar Lobo may originate there.<\/p>\n

Drinks-wise, we recommend the tasty juices, with creative fruit combinations.\n<\/p>\n

Bar Lobo: prices<\/h2>\n

\nBar Lobo isn’t the cheapest place to eat in the area, but the prices are justified by the quality of the menu and the creativity on display. Tapas cost from 7-8 euros, mains from around 9 – 13 euros, and desserts come in at around 5 euros.<\/p>\n
