77 kilos: good dishes, wine, and friends to share them with

Summer has some things that are a pain, like the hair on the back of your neck sticking together from the heat or the heatwave keeping you awake during the torrid nights. But there are things that make up for the inconveniences, and one of them is that we usually have more time to spend with our loved ones. And where better than around a good table? Today I'm recommending a restaurant in Barcelona that's perfect for reconnecting with that couple of friends you haven't been able to meet up with to explain your life to each other: this is the 77 kilos.

Located in the Eixample district, on Mallorca Street, you'll find Gerard Cuartero and Sara Di Bari. They're a friendly couple who have a beautifully handwritten menu and who make succulent shared dishes. They've both worked at La Barriga del Obispo, a beloved spot in the Gràcia neighborhood that's always a hit. 77 Kilos has the same proven level of reliability and a cooking style suitable for practically everyone. Proof of this are their iconic croquettes.

It's a restaurant where, apart from eating well, you also feel very comfortable. That's why I would choose it to go with my partner or with people with whom I'd like to have a good conversation. "Well, right?" Another tip: they're off the last week of August and the first week of September. Don't let that slip away.
