El Tonel, Bar a tapas

Right in the center of Paris, right next to the Louvre and Jardins des Tuileries, is Xavi's tapas bar, El Tonel. It opened in the fall of 2010. Quickly, it became very well known in the neighborhood because it's inexpensive, good and simple.
Xavi is originally from a tiny village in Catalonia, Espana. He's the most outspoken person I know. He will constantly take great care of his costumers. He's eager to welcome all and to share his love for his country, his food and culture.
The menu is tapas (4 to 8 euros). It's nothing fancy but it's very well served. The wine is ok, the sangria refreshing. 8 euros for cocktails which is very cheap for Paris. The mood natural and relaxed which is so hard to find in this "chic" area. The bar itself is small with a big tv for soccer and other sports, but mostly soccer. ;-) And you have a friendly terrace outside.

Go there and meet friends you don't know yet!
