Looking out onto the picturesque Plaça Reial, this restaurant and cocktail bar serves inventive “urban tapas” in a building that dates from 1856. The building’s original oak floors have been restored and are complemented by chandeliers, ornate columns and exposed ceiling beams. The changing menu combines typical Catalan offerings like patatas bravas with spicy sauce and acorn-fed Iberian ham croquettes with exotic finger foods like Vietnamese rolls with pork and vegetables. Plus, Ocaña’s cocktails are among the best in the city. For dessert try the chocolate and churros, strips of fried dough coated in sugar served with Bailey’s-infused chocolate mousse.
