Bar Oslo (CLOSED)

Ever since tapas were promoted to gastronomic delicacies, it can be hard to find bars where they make them in the classic way, using quality ingredients and techniques, without unnecessary ornamentations and at a price that's within the reach of everybody's budgets. Bar Oslo, found close to the bars in Plaça del Sol in Figueres, is one of those few places. It's somewhere that only gourmands who are really in the know are aware of, whereas most passers-by think it's just another café. However, the home-made tapas are amazing. For a very reasonable price you can try excellent snails with 'botifarra' (Catalan sausage), all kinds of omelettes, croquettes and much more. At lunchtime, they have a set menu at a very modest cost, and if it's breakfast you're after, they have a good variety of sandwiches. It's a shame that they don't serve dinner because this would be a great place to head before a long night out in the bars around the square.
