A good grilled meat, or some great calçots, are dishes that cannot be enjoyed just anywhere. For this reason, a lover of good food who knows how to appreciate what is really good and who can distinguish a meat prepared with love from any other, will always try to find that special, unique place to go to and want to repeat. In this context, Barcelona has always stood out for its capacity to offer a wide range of culinary options, capable of summarizing traditional Catalan gastronomy and adding other options, and that is why grilled cuisine was not going to be an exception. Of course, this type of food, so traditional in the culinary culture of the region, cannot be prepared in just any way or in just any place. And that is why here at Pasa Tapaswe have gone to great lengths to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to discover the authenticity of grilled food in the best possible atmosphere.
It has always been known that lighting a grill to prepare food is a healthy alternative. A good grill is not a place to eat in a hurry and badly; on the contrary, it is the ideal place around which to gather with friends or family to enjoy grilled products with love. Fire and smoke are elements capable of providing a unique flavor; but, in addition, they become the means to achieve a series of health benefits without sacrificing flavor.
As we have already seen, grilled food becomes, on its own merits, an incomparable option with which we will take care of ourselves while tasting unique flavors capable of highlighting the qualities of top quality meats and vegetables. It is also a deeply rooted tradition in the Catalan lands. We could spend hours talking about the history and traditions of the calçots in BarcelonaWe could spend hours talking about the history and traditions of calçots in Barcelona, a custom that consists of organizing fabulous gatherings of friends and family around the grill to prepare this variety of roasted onion. With a napkin or bib around the neck, the custom is to prepare the calçots on the fire, until they are black on the outside, and then peel them and eat them with your hands, without fear of staining them, always accompanied by a delicious romesco sauce.
Grilled meat or vegetables are also a tradition that is usually complemented with toasted bread with tomato, oil and salt. All this, of course, conveys a homey and familiar atmosphere that few things can match. However, it is not easy to find this type of cuisine in a big city. The lack of embers, barbecues or even special ovens means that few restaurants in Barcelona can offer a culinary experience with grilled meat and vegetables.
And this is precisely where Pasa Tapas stands out.

With a menu capable of offering diners a wide variety of dishes prepared on the grill, it becomes a perfect option to enjoy food in a homemade way.
