La Barraca: Barcelona in Glyfada!
And yet , even Zisimopoulou street changes... The erstwhile street with the ostentatious lifestyle and giant cafés with the lounge aesthetic, which turned out to be impersonal, just acquired a new little spot with lots of personality. And indeed very Barcelona-like! Because if you have visited the city of Antoni Gaudi, you will definitely remember those elongated bars that feature colorful and vivid tiles as well as the delicious tapas.
La Barraca is something like that. You can have your afternoon wine, while tasting beef carpaccio or smoked eel with apple chutney, celery, ginger and roasted hazelnut.
And if you're very hungry, there is a choice of five main dishes of Mediterranean cuisine. All this, on the bar or the tall tables. And as the night comes, you can be swept away in swing and soulful music or even dance to deep house tunes on Fridays and Saturdays.
La Barraca, Zisimopoulou 9 Glyfada , 6970077050
