TONYI TAMAKI & THE GRANDMA VISIT CAN VIOLÍ, SANTS

Today, The Grandma has received the wonderful visit of one of her closest friends, Tonyi Tamaki. They have decided to go out and visit one of the best restaurants in Sants, Barcelona. Its name is Can Violí, and it is located in Plaça d'Ibèria near Plaça de Sants.

They have tasted delicious dishes, and they have meet again after a lot of months of confinement and prohibitions.

Tonyi has read a little post published by Time Out before arriving to know more things about this wonderful place. For The Grandma has not been necessary because she is a usual customer of the place.

In 2018 what was a local legend in Plaça d'Ibèria called Bodega Floren that served up more traditional fare was converted into Can Violí and started to offer an updated menu.

But anyone afraid of change should face their fears and head in, and not only to branch out and try dishes like steak tartare, tuna tataki with kimchi mayo, duck cannelloni with truffle and mushroom sauce, or creamy seafood rice with red shrimp and crunchy seaweed.

They've also got something for your more traditional side, with their patates braves, croquettes, bombes, various cold cuts and cheeses from all around Spain. Not to mention, there's an excellent daily set lunch menu.

For under €15 you can choose a starter (soup, salad, vegetarian options...), a main (fish or meat usually) and a home-made dessert. Speaking of tradition, on Thursdays there are featured rice/paella dishes, and on Fridays it's the noodly fideuà.

Everything is made with great care, using quality ingredients and plenty of local products. The cellar features cava, vermouth, Catalan wines and some from Rioja, Ribera de Duero and Ribeiro.

Still not convinced? No worries, that leaves more room for us on the coveted terrace space.
