About
There's little disputing La Boqueria, off Barcelona's La Rambla, ranks up there with Leicester Square and Hollywood Boulevard in touristyness. But beyond the perimeter of pushy veggie vendors and kitschy cafes, the interior of the market remains a culinary treasure worthy of an close-up encounter. Bar Central is located towards the western-edge of the market, across from a butcher selling pig heads and fruit stand selling juicy purees. The counter-style restaurant offers no more than 25-chairs, which around 1pm become a coveted commodity for the influx of well-read readers that regard the family-operated restaurant a foodie-must (Jetset Report.com).
