El 58 is one of the fanciest tapas bars in the area, because it serves good quality dishes with reasonable prices. Located inside an elegant building with marvellous interior design and a courtyard, the philosophy of El 58 is to present an imaginative menu served in warm atmosphere. The owners of El 58, the Frenchman Jerome Misan and the Catalan Amos Martínez, have lived in El Poblenou for 16 years, and knew the exact type of establishment they wanted to create, before El 58 opened, the area lacked a cultural hub where casual atmosphere would intertwine with carefully prepared simple dishes. While here, taste the cod carpaccio and Andalusian-style eggplant accompanied by a pint of beer.
