Bar Cañete
A highly popular family-run tapas bar next to the Liceu Opera House, serving refined tapas made with fresh fish and seafood from local markets; dinner reservations are highly recommended.
Located at 17 Unió Street in the El Raval neighborhood, close to the Gran Teatre del Liceu and La Rambla, this family-run tapas bar features a long bar counter as well as a more private dining room and an open kitchen. It specializes in seafood from Catalan fish markets and seasonal vegetables. Recommended dishes include baby squid with Santa Pau white beans, Malaga-style fried anchovies, shrimp tortillitas, and pork molletes. Multiple guides recommend booking in advance, which can be done on their website or by phone. Open Monday through Saturday from 13:00 to midnight, closed on Sundays. Third-party lists estimate the average spend at €25–€35 per person, though most note it is not cheap. It is about a 3-minute walk from the Liceu metro station.
