If you can’t get a booking at Tickets or you don’t have the budget, consider a few plates and a glass of vermouth at Bodega 1900, which is just over the road, instead. This is Albert’s take on a classic Barcelona tapas bar and the menu here is much more traditional, with the likes of pan con tomate, Iberico ham, calamari sandwich and meatballs. Bodega 1900 also serves those famous olives from Tickets, however, so you can get a taste of them here without breaking the bank.
