Just got back from a late dinner (
late in my normal dining hour, but eating at 10pm is a usual time in Spain!), and had a great meal at "
Taverna Can Margarit" which Davide told me was typical Catalunyan food.
Located in
Poble Sec, the entrance was filled with wine barrels in all shapes in a long corridor. We were each given a glass and was asked to help ourselves from one of the 4 barrels a glass of wine.
The options were between 2 red and 2 white, and I chose a dry red wine to start, while Davide and I sat down in the corridor to finish our drink before being seated inside in the dining area. Davide shared with me that staff employed at the restaurant are gays.

It wasn´t too crowded, and the inside of the restaurant was nostalgically decorated with historical ornaments, such as antiqueshelves, wheels from a cart etc.
I left the ordering to Davide, where we started with 3 dishes, potatoes cooked in some sauce, salad with a type of fish, and squid, and served with traditional Catalunyan bread (
bread with tomato sauce and olive oil). We then had a portion of rabbit, cooked in some onions and garlic, and of course to go with the food, red wine - perfect combination!

I don´t have much experience eating Catalunyan food, and can´t comment if it was really authentic.
The food tasted good though, and highly recommended for not just the taste, but also the ambience and the service (
especially in Barcelona, where service can be really crap!)
