Bar del Pla is a tapas restaurant occupying a traditional space with bar seating, wooden tables, and Barcelona-style hydraulic floor tiles on Carrer de Montcada. The kitchen prepares small plates designed for sharing, focusing on ingredient quality and careful preparation.
The restaurant opened approximately 14 years ago in medieval El Born, near the Picasso Museum, within a district defined by narrow stone streets dating back centuries. The neighborhood developed as a trading hub during the medieval period and maintains much of its original street layout.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner continuously throughout the day, extending hours until late evening on Fridays and Saturdays. Reservations are accepted for all service times and are recommended, particularly during weekends.
The venue employs multiple sommeliers who curate an extensive selection of natural, biodynamic, and sulfite-free wines. Monthly tastings bring guests together with winemakers from small family-run vineyards to explore and discover new bottles.
