There are trends (can we call it a 'trend'? Yes, we can) that we can only applaud. Trend you say? Yes: the rise of affordable, Spanish Burgundian-inspired bubble bars. The New Cava Bar so, either champagneris, or xampanyeria, give the animal a name.

Bubbles for next to nothing, by the glass. Or for a little more, still by the glass, but by the bottle is also possible. Often accompanied by an oyster or another incomparable (Spanish) bar snack. Nowadays in Amsterdam we are more than happy to join in Five Brother Fat and also absolutely with it new and improved Center. And now the city center of Utrecht also has its own cava bar: Bar Cava. Not a word of Chinese included.

Bar Cava Utrecht can be found at the Ganzenmarkt, at number 12. It's nice, anyway, and you can get a glass of cava there for 3 euros. Champagne for 5,50 - thief of your own wallet and making the evening as expensive as you want takes no effort, thanks to the oysters and the well-filled drinks trays. So Bar Cava, olé.
