Teleferic Barcelona is a family-owned authentic Spanish cuisine and innovative cocktails, and a variety of hand-crafted sangria. The Padrosa family, are pioneers in the art of ‘Pintxos,” the smaller Basque cousins of Spanish tapas, that justifies the phrase “haute cuisine in miniature.”
The food and lively ambiance creates a dining experience that transports its customers to the vibrant city in Barcelona, Spain without the need for a passport. Cecile and I made 5:15 PM reservations to beat the crowd, and the crowd beat us. We were surprised that the popular extensive outdoor seating with heat lamps were taken. That said, we were seated by the hostess at a cozy, romantic table in the corner away from the hustle-bustle of the main dining room. We were fortunate enough to have the affable Julio as our waiter again.
To start, Cecile ordered a glass of Barceloneta Sangria consisting of sparkling wine, lemonade prickly pear, honey, rosemary orange and mixed berries and I had a bottle of Estrella Mediterranean Pilsner Lager Beer. We ordered marinated Tuna Tacos with mashed avocado & crispy wonton shells; Pan con Tomato: Traditional toasted bread with tomato dressing and chorizo butter; and for our main Platos, we shared Prime Wellington consisting of juicy braised short ribs & Iberia ham encased in a flaky puff pastry roll, and Spanish-style potatoes. One of the server injected savory sauce in the pastry roll. Everything was prepared to perfection and in a timely manner. We were full enough to pass on dessert.
