Who? Me
Food Style? Lebanese
I’ve spent the day walking the southern end of the hills where Tibidabo sits. I had a small and early lunch, so now I’m famished for dinner. I feel like something fresh, delicious and meaty, and there’s no better cuisine that delivers on all three than Lebanese. Fenicia is not too far from my Airbnb, and a stone’s throw from Placa de Sants, which is where I stayed in 2017. Their name of course is Phoenicia in Spanish, and the menu outside is only in Catalan and Español, but inside they’ve given me an English and French one.
Entree
Babaganoush: peeled grilled eggplant mixed with red and green bell pepper, mint, onion, tomato and parsley
This has a wonderful acidity and a hint of smokiness at the tail end. It’s refreshing and tastes delicious. The peppers add a nice crunchiness to the soft eggplant.
Mains
Fenician Shawarma Platter: shawarma meat served with grilled onion and tomato slices
I love home made hummus. You can really tell the difference, it doesn’t have the weird taste from preservatives like lemon juice and sugar. I’m not normally a fan of falafel, I find them too dry, but this one is okay, especially with a healthy helping of hummus. The outside is nice and crispy. The salad needs a bit of dressing but thankfully I’ve got some sauce from the babaganoush leftover so I just pour that on top. Perfect. I’m a big fan of the fried onions and the meat is well seasoned. I don’t know why but my greedy mouth involuntarily says “yes” when the waiter asked me if I wanted more pita bread, but I’ve managed to finish everything on the plate, save a few splotches of yogurt sauce and hummus. There’s no way I can handle dessert tonight, so it’ll be a leisurely stroll back in the cool Barcelona evening.
