I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There are many factors that go into choosing a restaurant: location, cuisine, specials, and service all enter the equation. But dessert? Not so much. That is, unless you’ve dined at Barcelona Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio — in which case, you know that the dessert menu is everything. From house-made chocolate tortes and creamy Spanish custards to sweet libations and a decadent cake flight,Barcelona easily has the best dessert menu in Ohio.
There's a saying that we "eat with our eyes first" -- and indeed, everything at Barcelona Restaurant is a vibrant, visual feast.
Inspired by Spanish cuisine and culture, Barcelona is a culinary fusion of metropolitan modernism and Old World European charm... in Ohio's German Village, of all places!
The menu is a celebration of Spain. The Tapas are perfect for sharing with a large group (definitely order the fried calamari!); the Paella is a revelation; the empanadas are downright delicious. But none of these main courses hold a candle to the dessert menu at this Columbus restaurant.
For example, olive oil cake isn't something you typically see on many American menus -- especially in the heart of the Buckeye State. But at Barcelona, the Lemon Olive Oil Cake might just become your new favorite indulgence!
Pictured above? The Gran Plato de Postre, or "Grand Dessert Plate." This beauty features Barcelona's chocolate torte, Spanish custard, almond cake, and Basque cheesecake, and is the most delicious dessert sampler ever!
Have you dined at Barcelona Restaurant before? If so, did you save room for dessert?! This restaurant really is the total package, and the dessert selection truly is the cherry on top of a delightful dining experience in Ohio.
