Tickets is the playful tapas bar run by Albert Adrià (brother of Ferran), and it may be the most fun restaurant in Barcelona — a deliberately theatrical space where classic Catalan tapas are deconstructed, amplified, and served alongside theatrical presentations. The menu changes constantly but always includes brilliant versions of tortilla, croquetas, and seasonal vegetables alongside more experimental preparations.
Reservations open exactly two months in advance and go within minutes — check the website at midnight for your target date, or be prepared for a long wait. Worth the effort. The adjoining gin-tonería Bodega 1900, from the same team, is also excellent and more relaxed.
