Tapas is commonly known as the variety of appetizers in Spanish cuisine and being in Barcelona, we of course asked for recommendations of good tapas restaurants upon checking into the hotel.
Ciudad Condal, located in the middle of Rambla Catalunya, is often crowded during meal time and come 9pm which is dinner time for the Spanish, a queue can be seen snaking from the bar area out along the street.

The interior is modern and comfortable with nice wooden decoration, with friendly service staff offering us their recommendations for first timers in the restaurant. Various types of Montaditos (tapas served on small slices of bread) are also available.
I usually do not have the habit of drinking in the afternoon so we ordered cola served in traditional glass bottles.
Grilled asparagus with coarse sea salt
Calamares - rings of battered squid (spanish version of calamari)
Tenderloin Steak and Grilled Prawns Montaditos
Parma Ham Montaditos
Prawn Salad Montaditos
My first meal in Barcelona...and a very light and satisfying one indeed.
(The same can't be said for the travel partner as he had to finish off the steak and ham dishes all by himself.)
After the trip in Barcelona, this remains the top 3 restaurants of the trip and if you happen to visit Barcelona anytime soon, do not give this place a miss. Coming to roughly under 40 euros for a meal for 2, it is certainly a good place for a slow lunch of good tapas selection and to rest the legs after a morning of sightseeing.
