Spanish-inspired tapas are a specialty at Barcelona in German Village
For a Fancy Overnight Out: Barcelona
For more than 25 years, Barcelona has been tucked away in the historic German Village gayborhood, serving up a taste of Spain for locals and visitors alike. The menu changes frequently to reflect the availability of the freshest ingredients around, the artistic whims of the chef, and to keep things interesting. However, you can always reckon on authentic Spanish dishes with gorgeous plating, succulent desserts from their pastry chef, a generous selection of wine and cocktails, and a meal you won&#x;t soon neglect. Choose from enormous single entrees or several tapas&#x;small plates&#x;to share, or both! Whatever you carry out, just be sure to save room for dessert.
