Spain: Cerveceria 100 Montaditos

Even though we just had dinner at Ciudad Condal, we still ducked into Cerveceria 100 Montaditos for an after-dinner snack:

The ordering process was super easy and tourists-with-crap-Spanish friendly.  Just peruse the menu and write down the number of the sandwich you want on the notepad:

Next, tear off a sheet and take it to the counter:

Minimum verbal communication necessary.  Wait for your number to be called and then voila!  Sandwich time.

Montaditos are tiny tapas-sized sandwiches.  Cerveceria 100 Montaditos offers well, 100 different montaditos ranging from 1 € to 1.50 € each.

We each ordered one montadito.  First was #74, jamón ibérico con salmorejo y tortilla de patatas or iberico ham with gazpacho and potato omelet (1.20 €).  It came in a mini-ciabatta bun:

#84 was salmón con aceitunas y mayonesa  or smoked salmon with olives and mayo (1.50 €).  It came in a grain bread bun:

Finally, to keep it simple, we got #8, pollo asada or roasted chicken (1 €):

Chips are an extra 1 €.

Not sure if I could get full off of montaditos without ordering half a dozen for myself, but Cerveceria 100 Montaditos is certainly a good, cheap option for a quick meal (or snack) in Barcelona.

Apparently Cerveceria 100 Montaditos has reached the U.S.!  If you live in Florida, you're in luck.  If you're on the West Coast like I am...give it a few years.
