John Hansen
Restaurante Los Caracoles, Barcelona


Post Card

Here is the Los Caracoles souvenir postcard that they were handing out last year (May 2006). Notice the absence of meat and sausage. Perhaps this indicates an evolution of their cuisine, though the artwork is dated '68.

Dinner at Los Caracoles in 2006

Here is old John with his seafood stew, sopa bullabesa. Much like bouillabaisse or the mariscada on the menu in Brazilian resturants in New York.

Los Caracoles = "The Snails"

The snail shaped bread they serve.

Snails

My wife Nancy eating, what else, snails!

The Kitchen

Nancy, and the open kitchen in the background.

Snail Cerveza

The snail shaped beer tap at the bar as you enter the place. The restaurant is no longer open to the street as it was in 1963.
