lucha star italian restaurants

real spanish italian fusion here we have

calamari this is the chicken croquettes

italian dish

that's absolutely brilliant a couple

more dishes they are coming and

everything's been fantastic this right

here is the shrimp carpaccio

and this is like a tomato risotto

fritter so they make spaghetti risotto

and the next day they can fry it off

with burrata and cherry tomatoes on top

juicy pizza

delectable pisco sours i mean it's

barcelona after all pisco sour b2b

espresso martini

first stop i mean they

running behind schedule

exterminate exterminate exterminate

tom's your life jump to the hotel room

ditch all your stuff we'll fiddle with

bits for a while and when he says bits

it means

[Music]

just off the rambler it is huge and

there was a market here staying about

800 years

that's an old market huge open seven

days a week loads of food vendors

something for everyone

high energy high

life

as food markets go this place is very

theatrical you know that the light the

food on offer it's displayed in a really

attractive way and it's just color glow

so there's two types of eating you can

do this market you can graze grab and go

or you can have a sit-down meal and one

of the best places if not the best place

to sit and eat at bokoria is

pinocchio's sorry mate

pinocchio don't really know what the two

have in common however that's what it's

called lovely little counter service

we'd have the room for a full sit-down

meal but if we did this is the place

we'd be we could heavily recommend

beating number four isn't the uniform i

know we've said we're representing the

unsung heroes and look a lot of people

know about boca rea but i feel that you

have to come

yeah it's just such a beating heart of

barcelona

last week we were eating these in the

michigan star barafina

now we're here in barcelona to eat the

real deal

they're good they're not they're not

barifina good

recharged and ready for some more food

human dustbins

reporting for service time for a beer

not just one beer they have 28 on tap

mind the bananas

what are they doing there

quick pit stop at cocoa vale now 24

craft beers on tap that really speaks to

us that's the language we know and this

place got recommended to us so

many times however

there is a story to that

coca veil was started by two friends

tony and andres

how's my accent will good terrible this

bar

is a california style bar they met at

the university of arizona

moved to barcelona and were like let's

recreate a bit of home here we got

surfboards on the ceiling man i mean

every california bar has those surely

license plates on the walls the flags

and 24 beers on top

we're starting off with number one i

don't think that means we're going to

get through all 24 of them however this

is a collaboration between cocoa bale

and balate and with the recreated beer

that doesn't exist the girl that got

away six point six percent of pure joy

shop around

what you drink in a cocktail has been

made on site they create things they

ferment things all in the craft of the

perfect

truffle that hits you which is that real

sweet creamy the smoky bitterness goes

delicious undertone

manso the street is like my dream

street okay is a beautiful tall city

street with

tree line road but we're not here for

the trees as much as i like them we're

summer three friends two wish your

brothers they dreamt of creating a

restaurant

11 years ago by a couple sophia and

sergio

very bold starting a restaurant as a

couple but hey 11 years on it's still

very strong and sofia is

one big smile a very warm aura of a

person they do classic tapas but with a

twist

croquette is all the usual suspects but

with their contemporary little spin on

things know hot door sunglasses also

very good on the head

keeping the hair

out of the delicious papers

first sangria quite late in our trip for

the first sangria but here we go oh will

you're enjoying it yeah

bro there's something else we gotta do

before we leave

do the honours bro

[Music]
