Can Paixano Barcelona is part of the Gold Medal Trip Report.
I may not be Michelin material (see Mont Bar Barcelona), but as a lover of bubbles, meats, and cheeses, I am qualified to speak about the best place on earth, Can Paixano.
What makes it the best?
Cava
I can’t say that Spanish Cava is better than South Africa’s Blanc de Blanc (see The Best Bubbly Comes From Franschhoek, Not France), but it’s both refreshing and affordable. Can Paixano has many varieties of Cava, all at amazing prices.
Burgers
Who doesn’t like a fatty burger with a glass of bubbles?
Tapas
As one who enjoys one too many, I appreciate tempering my temptation with tapas. Can Paixano has many on tap for the right price.
Day Drinking
Is there anything better than being buzzed in the day? The crowd at Can Paixano does not think so.
Competition?
Interestingly, the only other place remotely like Can Paixano is the Mo Club in Missoula, Montana (see The Road Trip Burger @ The Mo Club).
La Cuenta
Many tapas and bubbles later, the bill came out to $35 for two.
Overall
If you don’t like this place, chances are high that I will not like you.
