The Best Patatas Bravas in Barcelona

In this episode of Munchies, we meet Toni, the second-generation manager of Bar El Tomas de Sarria, known for serving up one of the best patatas bravas in Barcelona.

Toni's father started producing the famed tapas back in the 70s. Here, Toni teaches us what exactly goes into a great plate of bravas: passion, love and quality olive oil.

He speaks English, and sometimes he does pause or skip a few things, but when he speaks, you can hear the passion wanting to burst out. I love that. Hope to come to Barcelona one day.

El Tomás, timeless classic. My grandfather used to go there with my father when he was little, my father brought me there since I was a kid, and if I have kids I will make sure they try the Tomás' bravas too. Best in the city, almost unrivaled.

Drink every time Patatas Bravas are mentioned 😆

Every single local in Barcelona has been to El Tomás. They really are that good.

I thought it was overrated until I found myself ordering one every time I went to the bar. It's addictive trust me!
[PS - €3 for a single portion of olive oil fried patatas...I'm sold even more]

Beautiful place with a soul! It's always a pleasure coming to this bar!

Huge respect for the fact he's frying this in olive oil.

I’m Scots/Irish and I base a Spanish restaurant on their patatas bravas. I know a tattie when I see one.

Do it well, do it good.

I always get on well with Catalans and Spanish. Respect, politeness and some humour and you will get it back 10x. They are so patient with tourists. I think Irish people get on with Southern Europeans a lot. We really like to enjoy life.. and party

We were just there today. It was a trek from our accomodation BUT … every tapas was excellent. The bravas was excellent. Service excellent.

Well worth the effort.

The potato looks great the sauces works well together to make a fast meal, keep everything going the way you’re family history started.

[ibrafadel-dv]

Indeed, it is a wonderful meal that is also light on the stomach. I highly recommend it

I’ve been to Barcelona about 20 times but never tried this, definitely next time and I’ll be calling here.

The simplest things are often the most delicious
