If you have lived in Atlanta for more than five seconds, chances are you have eaten at (or at the very least heard of) Barcelona. Known for its classic Spanish tapas, refreshing sangria and beautiful patio, it is definitely a can’t-miss. For the past five years, Barcelona has called Inman Park its home, but as of a few weeks ago, this wonderful tapas restaurant now has two homes in Atlanta. Barcelona, welcome to Westside!
Barcelona recently opened up its second Atlanta location in the Westside Ironworks plaza in West Midtown. Last weekend I decided to check it out myself. Eating = research, right? All of the menu staples remain, while a few yummy surprises join the mix. The drinks are delicious, the service is better-than-ever and the outside patio is an awesome addition– especially considering the beautiful weather that has been blessing Atlanta. I have a feeling Barcelona Westside Ironworks will be just as busy as Barcelona Inman Park in no time, so hurry up and try it soon!
And you know what they say? A picture is worth 1000 words. So I decided to provide you guys with eight photos from my meal. (Does that make this my longest blog post yet?!) But fair warning: This blog post may cause intense cravings for delicious tapas.
