Vinitus is a tapas bar found in the city centre of Barcelona. I only came across it by chance when walking past with my mum. It was packed, so we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. My first experience at Vinitus was a quick lunch and I was so surprised, not only by the amazing quality of food, but the really cheap prices too! We even had to double-check the bill because we didn’t think it was right!
A couple of weeks later my partner arrived in Spain and we decided to revisit, this time for dinner. We quickly realised that peak hour on Saturday night was not a great time to turn up spontaneously, with a wait time of just over an hour. But when we finally ordered a rather large selection of tapas we were very happy! We learnt our lesson about not arriving at peak dining time in Spain, but I absolutely love this place.
As I’m sure many of you know, tapas is a traditional way of eating in Spain- similar to finger food in the UK. I admire Spaniards for being able to lightly snack on food throughout a social gathering at a restaurant because every time I go to a tapas bar, I devour the food in the first few minutes and eat it as a whole meal instead!
In Vinitus, there is so much variety on the menu, but being a creature of habit I always ended up ordering the same thing every time and, let me tell you, it was a lot of times! One of my favourites was patatas bravas (chipped potatoes with a spicy sauce) but I also loved pan con tomate (toasted bread rubbed in tomatoes), croquettes and jamón serrano (dry-cured ham).
