Salmon Montadito with Yoghurt and Truffle Honey
Foie Gras Montadito with Volcanic Salt
Mussels and Cariar Montadito
Tuna Belly and Sea Urchin Montadito
It was always difficult to get my friends to go to stand-up tapas with me, unless they are as foodie as my exchange friend from Korea - Jenny.
I have always wished to try Quimet&Quimet. Having walked pass it several times but each time my friends were hoping to find a place where we can sit and catch up a little, I thought I would never be able to try it. two days before I was leaving Barcelona, I met up with Jenny for lunch but as we were having endless for conversation for almost 10 hours, we changed from one place to another, and at the end of the day I ended up at Quimet&Quimet! I almost thought I would have missed it but I finally got a chance to try!
All montaditos were around 2.5 euros each. A little pricy compared to montaditos served in the nearby Cerrar de Blai, but it definitely worths marking on your schedule for your trip to Barcelona.
Not being noticeably starving as we have been in-taking coffees and teas everywhere we went, we shared 4 montaditos - Foie Gras with Volcanic Salt, Mussels with Caviar, Tuna Belly and Sea Urchin, and Salmon with Yoghurt and Truffle Honey.
One of the highlight of the night was this Salmon montadito with yoghurt and truffle honey. The smokey salmon went so well with tart, creamy yoghurt and the sweet honey, while the aroma of the truffle slowly released in the mouth. All the ingredients worked perfectly together that it was such an unforgettable taste.
Another montadito with Tuna Belly and Sea Urchin was also remarkable. The tomato puree base was rich like Ratatouille. The tuna belly was soft and flaky, while the sea urchin made the sweetness of the fish even more outstanding. It was indeed light and delicious!
The Mussels and Caviar one had the same delicious tomato base. The mussels was sweet and creamy on their own, while the caviar gave a little kick to the the montadito. It was not as surprising as the other two mentioned above but was still pretty good.
I would not describe there was any surprise to the foie gras and volcanic salt at my first sight to it. Though the cracker was perfect for the rich, smooth foie gras terrine and the volcanic salt had a distinct earthy taste that enhanced the flavour of the foie.
Apart from Montaditos, Quimet&Quimet was also renowned for its great variety of wine and liquor. Although it is not the most comfortable place to enjoy tapas, you will experience why the Spanish love standup tapas once you are here. (Shhh) It is somewhere you will definitely feel regret if you miss it out!
