Bom Bolla Bar and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams
A few bites of pintxos, queso, jamón and olives: the perfect way to start an evening at Bom Bolla, washed down with an extensive selection of cava and other Spanish wines. Get some bread in your tummy with bocadillos and montaditos (mojama de atún with crushed Marcona almonds and olive oil are our favorite) followed by some seafood in the form of prawns or sardines poached in butter. The light healthy Catalan diet goes out the window, though, when you step outside and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams beckons from next door. Bring on the multi-scoop sundae and salty caramel sauce!
