Best Pa amb tomaquet
in Barcelona
Pa amb tomaquet is the quintessential Catalan food ritual, representing the beauty of simple ingredients. It involves rubbing ripe 'tomàquet de penjar' tomatoes onto toasted slices of rustic 'pa de pagès' bread. The bread is then drizzled with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. It is served with almost every meal in Barcelona, from breakfast to late-night tapas. A true version avoids tomato paste, relying instead on the friction of the crust to extract the fresh pulp.
