Tast a la Rambla is in on this weekend. From the 7th to the 10th of June, the bottom part of the Rambla is host to 50 stands where you can try a tapa from some of the best-loved restaurants and tapas bars in Barcelona.
This year the stands are divided into 6 categories:
Tapes i Platillos – tapas and small plates
Cuina Tradicional – traditional cooking
Illa Pastisseria – patisserie island (yes please!)
Cuina d’author – signature style dishes by well-known chefs
Asia Street Food
Patrocinadors / Collaborators – patrons and collaborators
I was all over the Asian section (obviously). I loved the rice (there was a lot of rice at Tast a la Rambla) from Casa Xica with the kimchi folded through.
The beetroot berry pastry from Maria Selyanina.
4€ for a tapa, 2€ for a drink. Make sure to buy the tokens before you line up!
Enjoy.

Love the whole idea but hate to have to buy tokens before. How do you decide how much you are going to spend? The only people that benefit from this are the organisers. Queue to buy tokens and then queue for food. We ended up eating on Calle Ample.
I think it’s so they don’t have to have cash tills and it’s easier for the people who have the stalls. I think it’s a good idea but I think you should be able to have an app where you prepay and then you can just pay with your phone -because that’s the future. Then you don’t have to line up. I went today for lunch and there was no line for tokens really…
I went last year and it was great! Too bad I’missing it this year.. I wish I could go. All I have seen so far looks amazing!
They do such a good job in Barcelona with these events. There is something every month. More than a few things in fact.
We were overly ambitious with the tokens and they don’t do refunds. But we sold them to a nice couple who were appreciative to not stand in line. Not a thing for the vegetarian though, hence the leftover tokens.
Hi Hiromi, I didn’t think about it from a vegetarian point of view but yes, your options would have been limited to desserts. Good you found someone to sell the tokens to.
