It is amazing to me how much I have been eating on this trip to Barcelona. But this is a very different type of eating compared to what happens in the states. In the US portion sizes at restaurants are usually huge. This is not the case in Barcelona. Everywhere I have been so far the food has been served in small bites (like all the tapas) or the portion of food has just been smaller.
So here I am again about to get something else to eat, even though I had a few tapas just a few hours before. This time I wanted to try a frankfurter or bratwurst from Bitte! Wurst.
I passed this place a few times as I walked around. Every time I walked by I noticed how busy they were. As soon as I walked in I was greeted. I felt so welcomed.
Naturally they had sangria on the menu. I could not pass that up. This one was a little dryer than others I have had so far. They made sure to include a lot of fruit, which I enjoyed.
They had so many different frankfurters and bratwursts to choose from. You can even get a pack to go.
I went with a simple Frankfurt America. It was the frank with bacon, onions, and gruyere cheese. It also included mayo but I had them not add that. I am not a fan of mayo on a hot dog.
The frank had a great salty taste and there was a slight crunch from the casing as I took a bite. The bacon was not crispy which was a disappointment. It was more like a slice of ham. The onions were sautéed to a perfect caramelization and added sweetness to the salty frank.
This was a great place to get a quick bite. You could easily get the frank to go and eat it while walking around the Gothic Quarter. I never expected to enjoy a hot dog and sangria in Barcelona.
