ELDISET in Barcelona's Old City

Anchovy toast

This place is pretty cool (3 Carrer Antic de Sant Joan, 932-68-1987). It's a wood paneled wine bar that happens to serve a variety of torradas de pa de vidre, or "glass bread toasts." The translation sounds odd, but is an apt description once you bite into one, as the thin bread underneath is so wonderfully crispy that I kept wanting to order more, be it that anchovy-topped one above, or the eggplant or sobrasada ones that we had. They have other food available too, but the toast was exciting enough that we didn't even bother with the others.
