food & drink

Boxes on display at El Celler d’en Frank Peterssein make it look like a wine shop from the street; inside are the barrels and Armando behind the bar. He welcomes regulars and visitors to this old Raval bodega on Bisbe Laguarda, also known as Bodega Armando since at least 2012.

Old Singer pedal sewing-machine bases support the tables, where house vermouth accompanies strips of cheese, cured meat, olives, conservas and pa amb tomàquet. Time Out found locals trading philosophical observations at the bar back in 2012. Armando also serves wine and cava, along with Estrella Galicia and ratafia.
