Bar Fàbula

Bar Fàbula is a sandwich bar in Barcelona opened by Santiago, a chef from fine dining, and the place is about exactly that: sandwiches with their own ideas and party nights where a guest creates one to try for one night only. The vibe, per @annastaste, is for people who want to have fun in the kitchen and on a night out, not too attached to the rules but respectful of the simple things.

Order the homemade smoked belly sandwich with apple, rocket and miso on toasted brioche: @annastaste calls it homemade smoked belly with apple, rocket and miso and says you’d have to tell Rupert how good it is. The avocado, egg and cheese sandwich is a solid baseline, but the leap comes when you add the smoked belly and toasted brioche.

@annastaste’s verdict is enthusiastic: a clear recommendation, for people who want to have fun eating and going out rather than those who need too many rules. No price or score is given, but the offer is a chef’s sandwich without ceremony and a party attached.
