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.

    Drink every time Patatas Bravas are mentioned 😆

    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.

    Every single local in Barcelona has been to El Tomás. They really are that good.

    We were just there today. It was a trek from our accomodation BUT … every tapas was excellent. The bravas was excellent. Service excellent. Well worth the effort.

  • I’ve been to Barcelona about 20 times but never tried this, definitely next time and I’ll be calling here.
  • @satyajeetprabhu
    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]
  • @EZ1111
    I'm in Barcelona next year I am definitely coming here
  • @jamo3976

  • @ibrafadel-d1v
    Indeed, it is a wonderful meal that is also light on the stomach. I highly recommend it

    I’m Scots/Irish and I base a Spanish restaurant on their patatas bravas. I know a tattie when I see one. Do it well, do it good.
  • @Matt-ve4ue
    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
