On a walking tour through Gracia neighborhood in Barcelona we were guided to La Pubilla for our…read morebreakfast. The place is very small, clean, and extremely busy. The staff is hustling as the crowd is building.
Food here follows a traditional Catalan breakfast where hardy and filling are essential for energy. The chef has been successful at previous endeavors, yet chosen to go smaller while still focusing on quality.
Our first dish was a trotter's terrine fried with an unciuos taste. I had not been a fan of trotters, but this was absolutely delicious. The small delicate locally grown white beans that accompanied the trotters along with caramelized onions that were equally tasty. Our other selection was the fried eggs with a honey drizzle and pork sausage infused with paprika which was delicious. The olive oil drizzle on eggs, I'm going to steal.
To the hard working staff, you are incredible. La Pubilla and the very talented chef, congrats! I don't generally eat or want breakfast, but today you got me to eat a trotter's terrine and to appreciate a new way to celebrate eggs. The beans with onions and pork with paprika were delightful. I had to waddle out of the restaurant as I've never eaten that much food for breakfast. The quality was remarkable. Great job and a sincere thank you!
