About
A legendary cava bar in the heart of El Born, open since 1929. The house cava is served in ceramic jugs, the anchovies are among the finest in Spain, and the azulejos-covered walls transport you back to old Barcelona. Arrive early or queue.

AI Review Summary
Generated from guest reviews of El Xampanyet
El Xampanyet is a Barcelona institution that remains entirely authentic and utterly charming. The house cava is excellent value, the anchovies and boquerones are some of the best in Spain, and the atmosphere on a full house is electric. Locals and visitors alike adore it. Gets very busy — try to arrive at opening time.

The anchovies here ruined all other anchovies for me. The house cava is sensational. An absolute Barcelona classic.

Authentic Old Barcelona in every detail. Ceramic tiles, ceramic jugs, perfect cava and brilliant tapas. Come early.

Gets packed but the staff handle it beautifully. The bombas and boquerones are unmissable.
