CAL PEP Barcelona

Every now and then it's good to experience a little culinary magic, and today we did at tiny little perfect Cal Pep. (And yes, it made up for yesterday's dinner.) It is simply food well done in a relaxed atmosphere. The place is unpretentious, the waiters are busy but cool, and the dishes are beautiful and precise and delicious. It's how food should be.

¡Visca Catalunya! ¡Viva Cataluña!
