Can Paixano – La Xampanyeria és una recomanació a la guia curada de Almanac Barcelona.
Can Paixano —la mítica Xampanyeria de la Barceloneta— conserva l’ànima de taverna marinera gairebé intacta des del 1969, amb cava de la casa servit sense cerimònia i un ritme de barra genuïnament barceloní. És un petit ritual popular: bocates i tapes senzilles per acompanyar copes que volen, en un ambient dens i alegre que explica millor que cap discurs la ciutat quotidiana. Hi ha qui hi passa a primera hora per evitar l’hora punta i veure el local respirar abans del vespre.
Someone recommended this place to us and we absolutely loved it. As soon as you walk in, someone at the door tells you where to stand inside, it’s busy and a bit chaotic, but that’s part of the charm. The staff are not overly friendly or trying to please tourists, which actually makes it feel more authentic. At one point they forgot to bring one of the items we ordered, but it also wasn’t on the bill, so no harm…
Very nice cava bar for their house-made cava — crisp, perfectly balanced, and dangerously easy to drink (I still dream about it!). We tried the croquettes and a sandwich, both delicious. Service is very fast, the place is full of locals, and you eat standing up like a true local. What a hidden gem! Highly recommended!
Very authentic tapas & cava bar, standing room only. Was buzzing on a Friday afternoon but managed to find a space. Would definitely recommend and come back - €11 for a bottle of cava, can’t go wrong, loved it
