The Best Patatas Bravas in Barcelona
Ойын-сауық
In this episode of Munchies, we meet Toni, the second-generation manager of Bar El Tomas de Sarria, known for serving up one of the best patatas bravas in Barcelona.
Toni's father started producing the famed tapas back in the 70s. Here, Toni teaches us what exactly goes into a great plate of bravas: passion, love and quality olive oil.

I'm f*cked already and it's been 30 seconds.
He speaks English, and sometimes he does pause or skip a few things, but when he speaks, you can hear the passion wanting to burst out. I love that. Hope to come to Barcelona one day.

They spit water on tourists. They don't want you
Every single local in Barcelona has been to El Tomás. They really are that good.
I thought it was overrated until I found myself ordering one every time I went to the bar. It's addictive trust me! [PS - €3 for a single portion of olive oil fried patatas...I'm sold even more]
My man was fast eating that dropped piece kkkkkkkk
thank you #Munchies and #Vice for introducing us to another local must visit. #Tapas #Barcelona
We were in Barcelona 6 months ago and the city is amazing! Beautiful vibe, people and food. cant wait to go back
We appreciate your efforts. Keep working hard.

It's just nothing. Like all oils, olive oil is just an oil. On the other hand: just a guy who fries potatoes in a place you are not from. Potatoes are fried. Garlic sauce is nice tho.

I’ve been to Barcelona about 20 times but never tried this, definitely next time and I’ll be calling here.
I'm in Barcelona next year I am definitely coming here
Indeed, it is a wonderful meal that is also light on the stomach. I highly recommend it
The simplest things are often the most delicious
I always get on well with Catalans and Spanish. Respect, politeness and some humour and you will get it back 10x. They are so patient with tourists. I think Irish people get on with Southern Europeans a lot. We really like to enjoy life.. and party

Very beautiful
yo, why they blur Toni's name on the shirt? Is it possible that that's not Toni? They just had Luis that only speaks English?
If you’ve been to Barcelona this is your veggie unless you’re lucky and find the salad joint ... and it’s good but I think there’s only 2 in the city.

That looks delicious. Olive oil is the greatest of plant oils. I sometimes add in a big of duck fat, however.
I want trying

something for the vegetarians : ) and since youtube deletes my comments to replies to this, i need to edit this one to include my response to one of the replies: to respond to the person who said "you might want to research bio-availability of plant based proteins ....." i responded by saying "you might want to google the words "Patrik Baboumian" and rethink that statement oh, and rice farming is worse for the planet than "tofu" farming (tofu farming, lol ok) and POTATO farming in particular is one of the least environmentally destructive staple food sources on earth AND one of the most resistant to human caused climate change, unlike the endangered rice. it is the food of the future, literally so, yay potatoes!

Fried in olive oil. That's the difference. Most places fry in neutral oils so there's no taste added. Olive oil tastes good. No one else does it because it's so damn expensive
