About Bar Mendizábal
A historic cafe since 1942 on the edge of Montjuïc, popular with locals heading to the Poble Sec market or before hiking the hill. The simple breakfast menu of tostadas con tomate and cortados served at marble-topped tables hasn't changed in decades.
Insider Tips
Join the regulars at the bar rather than sitting at tables - you'll get faster service and witness the theatrical coffee-making ballet of the veteran waiters
