Best Mojito in Barcelona!
Tuesday 30 May 2006 in Bars & Clubs
Another contentious issue (see “Best Paella in Barcelona“!), but here’s my votes:
Pilé 43 (Calle Agl� 43, 93 317 39 02) in the Barrio Gotico - by far the best in town, made and served with a laid-back passion by two lovely ladies of the Barrio Gotico. It’s not a glitzy place, more 70’s retro, but damn do they do a good Mojito.
Staying in the Barrio Gotico, there’s the perenial favourite, Marguertita Blue (Calle Josep Anselm Clavé 6, 93 317 71 76). Consistently good, if not outstanding Mojitos. Good Mexican food too, and fun during the week for the various shows they put on.
Up-town there’s Negro, on Diagonal. Now this IS a glitzy place, and the food’s pretty good too. If you find yourself uptown, definitely worth dropping by.
I can’t mention the best withouth shuddering at the thought of the worst Mojito in Barcelona. There’s some irony, as the place that deserves this accolade is called…Mojito’s! Fun little salsa club, good vibe and fun crowd, but the crappest Mojito I have ever had in my life! They keep them half-prepared on the bar, use concentrated Lime syrup (yack!), and were absolutely revolting. Both of us were up half the night with churning indigestion caused by the acidity, they were THAT bad!
Always on the look-out for a good Mojito - let me know if I’ve overlooked your favourite!
