With the changing seasons Barcelona’s foodies have the opportunity to experience new culinary sensations all year round. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, each offering different ingredients that present chefs with the opportunity to exercise their skills. Barcelona is undoubtedly privileged with its surrounding fertile plains, mountains and the Mediterranean. Cachitos Diagonal, the renowned tapas restaurant and cocktail bar at the intersection with Balmes is a great place to discover the earth’s bounty and the delicious winter dishes that should be savoured.

Cachitos Diagonal opened approximately three years ago. Chef José Vega is constantly updating the culinary offering with the freshest products of each season, the highlights include the rice and paellas dishes, sirloin tartars and bluefin tuna and other delicacies such as the lobster with scrambled eggs, courgette noodles served with prawns, foie and truffle cannelloni, Palamós prawns, Galician beef steak, fish of the day and homemade desserts. Their special truffle menus are also a must-try for fans of winter cuisine. This season Cachitos Diagonal opts for white truffles with a menu of delicious dishes accompanied by this variety of mushroom sourced from Italy and considered one of the most exclusive of ingredients.
