La Cova Fumada
La Cova Fumada claims the invention of the bomba de la Barceloneta, a fried potato croquette stuffed with ground beef and crowned with aioli and hot sauce, which has since colonized menus across the city. The restaurant trades in other Barceloneta basics—grilled squid and sardines in season, a austere tripe stew—with the confidence of an institution that has little to prove.
