Best Splurge: Tapas Barcelona

Tapas Barcelona serves eclectic Spanish dishes including tapas, paella and drinks.

Between the dim, amber lighting, the walls covered in eclectic posters and the artistically plated food, when I first walked into Tapas Barcelona, all I could think was “sophisticated.” Well, that and “bacon-wrapped dates” — my friend had been raving about how excited she was to eat them again.

The Spanish restaurant, located just a short walk from the Whole Foods on Chicago Avenue, serves tapas ranging from $7 to $16 a plate. These small dishes are meant to be shared amongst a group — you’ll want to order a couple. There are so many eclectic options to choose from, ranging from Berenjenas Rellenas con Queso (eggplants stuffed with goat cheese) to Pulpito a la Plancha (grilled octopus). They also serve pizza, paella and drinks.

Whether you want to have a fancy night out, to catch up with friends or just to eat as many bacon-wrapped dates as possible, Tapas Barcelona is the spot for you.
