Bodega 1900 is one of the most accessible restaurants of the Adrià group. Directly across from the world-famous Tickets restaurant is Albert Adrià’s nod to the classic tapas bars and vermuterias of his youth. It is true that Albert and his older brother Ferran Adrià are known for their pioneer work in the realm of creative cooking techniques and whimsical plating presentations.

Bodega 1900 mimics an old-school tapas and vermouth bar, but don't be fooled: this venture from respected chef Albert Adrià unveils gastronomic tapas such…

After days of searching, I booked this Airbnb hosted by Arama and Jordi because it had great reviews, it was reasonably priced, and perfectly located in a safe residential area, away from loud bars and tourist traps. Arama personally greeted us when we arrived and showed us her simple but sparkling clean apartment. Her place is a stone’s throw away from Albert Adria’s restaurants like Tickets, Pakta, Enigma and Bodega 1900 which made this Airbnb such a solid find.

Unfortunately, another spot that Tony and Matt visited in 2017 has closed in the years since; Bodega 1900 was a small tapas bar with high-end dishes – perfect for someone like Bourdain who loved interesting flavors and dishes across the spectrum from fancy to no-frills. During their visit, the guys try spherified olives, artichoke with quail egg and salmon roe, and calamari sandwiches with plenty of wine. Sounds like a perfect evening, no?

Award-winning chef Albert Adrià may be known for wild dining experiences, but it’s here at his vermutería that he struts his profound knowledge of traditional Spanish cuisine. The restaurant will surprise you with its layout, and the house-made conservas (preserved foodstuffs), lazy tortillas, guisos (traditional stews), seasonal salads, flawless desserts, and everything in between, will call you back for another round of vermouth.

Bodega 1900 is just across the street from Tickets, another Albert Adrià spot, where you'll find a fresh spin on the classic tapas and vermouth bar. Bright white tiles and oversized cabinetry add to the charming, at-home vibe, though the real pull is the salty creations (salazones) served alongside smoked, grilled, and pickled plates that are a bit more innovative than what you'll find at your basic joint.

GOURMAND For an upscale yet authentic-feeling tapas and vermouth bar, look no further than Bodega 1900. The latest venture from the Adrià brothers is decked out in with home-style furniture and decor including old photos from the Adrià family albums. Start with a lip-smacking house made vermouth–said to be the best in the city–before diving into the inventive cuisine.

Bodega 1900 opened quietly back in September 2013 and the man behind it is non other that Albert Adria. This hole in the wall restaurant specializes in vermouth and tapas, two of his greatest passions. The name pays homage to the bodegas, small corner shops where one can grab a quick bite and a glass of vermouth, and the year of the building’s construction (1900).

Arguably Barcelona’s most famous vermouth bar because of its incredibly talented owners, Albert and Ferrán Adrià, Bodega 1900 actually serves a blend of Martini, which is an Italian vermouth. Of course, this would be hard for us to recommend if their food wasn’t so delicious!. It’s a great way to try an Adria family restaurant in a more relaxed environment.

Albert Adrià’s Bodega 1900 sprinkles a modern twist on traditional tapas dishes. Owing to Chef Ferran Soler’s expertise, classic recipes of the early 20th century are served on the plate with a contemporary perspective. The ingredients used are of the finest quality, making this joint one of the most premium tapas restaurants in Barcelona.

Bodega 1900, a modernist-style tavern, is the place to go for classic Catalan cuisine. Owned by Albert Adrià, this restaurant offers a wide range of traditional tapas and vermouth-based cocktails. Make sure to try their patatas bravas and pan con tomate.

This particular plate of patatas bravas was thinner and more crispy than the usual order, perhaps because they are from the fancy tapas bar Bodega 1900.
