Maitea Taberna: the festival for everyone

With this article we finish the series of 36 gastronomic recommendationsAnd who was chosen to put the icing on the cake? It couldn't be other than Maitea TavernWhy? Because Maitea is the answer to many questions. This Basque tavern solves practically everything. I need a place where there are people who eat a lot and people who eat little. We are a large group, and I don't know where to go. I need to take some tourists somewhere so they can try many good things. In the group, there are people who are very knowledgeable about wine and people who don't drink. We are three generations for dinner. Where can we go? In all these situations, the answer is Maitea Tavern.

If you're not familiar with this Barcelona restaurant (155 Casanova Street, near Hospital Clínic), you should know that you'll find good pinchos, beautiful dishes, fantastic produce, and an enviable wine list. Basque classics, like Arbizu chistorra (chistorra sausage) or cod omelet. But also potatoes and green beans with butifarra from the Cal Rovira pot, pig's ear with fried eggs, or a humble San Jacobo (Bacon Stew). There are dishes for vegetarians and also for those with celiac disease. However, they honestly warn that they can't completely prevent cross-contamination. So it depends on the extent of the diner's intolerance.

Returning to the idea that Maitea is the answer to almost everything. It's a place for those who just don't want to cook, for an impromptu dinner, or for a celebration. If you're attending a festival, they prepare group menus so you only have to worry about catching food.
