La tasqueta de Blai, Pinchos bar in Poble-sec, Barcelona, Spain
La Tasqueta de Blai is a pinchos bar on Carrer de Blai in the Poble-sec neighborhood of Barcelona. It serves small bites topped with various ingredients, displayed along the counter for customers to choose.
La Tasqueta de Blai opened in 2008 and has since become a familiar name on Carrer de Blai. Over the years, it has built a following among both locals and visitors.
The pinchos here reflect a local habit of eating small portions while standing or sitting at the bar, often as a casual meal. Each pincho is inspired by a different place or recipe, so the selection changes and offers a way to taste many flavors in one visit.
The bar is on a street known for its many pinchos spots, so it helps to arrive early or be ready to wait at peak times. You can point to what you want at the counter, and staff will warm it for you.
The kitchen prepares around 60 varieties of pinchos daily, and about 25 different ones are usually lined up at the counter. They are warmed in a salamander grill rather than a microwave, which helps keep the toppings from becoming soggy.
