Syra Coffee Takeaway, Gràcia

27th December 2018 Leave a Comment


I like the lightening bolt logo. The superhero implication it carries. As if a coffee from Syra will equip me via transference with a super power. It’s not far from the truth. Caffeine is a legal zing said to combat everything from diabetes to cirrhosis to stupidity.

Syra has new digs. A side street off the creaky looking Mercat de Llibertat. Small, though not as small as the original location. The long narrow space terminates in some black curtains with a back-lit sign that proclaims: Coffee & Pastries to Go


Said pastries are mostly creative cookies. Large green Matcha cookies or red-hued red velvet cookies. There are also bars of various sorts and granola pucks. Without fail, I get the big Lukumas sugar glazed doughnut.

If I find a seat, I like to hang about. It’s a fun crowd that gets their coffee here. Young loquacious student types zinging even before they’ve paid for their zing. Unlike myself, that only begins to feel the stirrings of a buzz as I gulp down the last dredges of what is a very accomplished cup of coffee.

The foie sauce pasta @maleducat should be illegal. The foie sauce pasta @maleducat should be illegal. It’s not a plate to share - even with someone you love. 🫣
Of course the tomato tartar with mackerel continues to make me happy.

Out of curiosity I joined the queue @bouillonlinst Out of curiosity I joined the queue @bouillonlinsta - a warehouse of a restaurant with continuous service and small prices. I can see the appeal - the rice pudding with caramel sauce was ace. Three courses with cider 18€!

Something for the weekend @tangana_restaurant beca Something for the weekend @tangana_restaurant because it’s chef led, with good chairs and just the right feeling. Gilda - yes. And the Mitake mushroom but with way more colour then this picture - I hadn’t realized that apricot panna cotta is what’s missing from my life - (not pictured because the best moments often aren’t captured.)

I am going to increasingly direct you outside of t I am going to increasingly direct you outside of the city. To places like @barquet_tarragona - a multi generational fish restaurant with many accolades. Inside it’s a mishmash of nautical references- and an extraordinary selection of things from the sea along with arroces. Even though it’s in Tarragona, I recommend booking in advance.
