Barcelona, Spain + Add a trip

Different Restaurant with really nice food. Reservations Only.

Cheff visits three markets each morning to ensure the freshest produce conceivable which means the menu changes constantly though, no paper is wasted as the menu is solely verbal. €35 gets you a three-course meal, of what, only the chef can say. Each meal is accompanied by a lengthy exegesis by the chef of how and why the food got to your plate.

Cervecería Catalana

Best tapas in town. Cervecería actually means beer hall. But don't let the name fool you. This is high-quality food.

Miramelindo for Mojitos

Miramelindo on Passeig del Born is a classic, has the best mojitos - and a changing menu of 3 cocktails poured from bowls on the counter.

El japonese: Great tapas - great interior

If you walk at the Rambla from the beach-end to Catalunya, you can take a left at Carrer del Pintor Fortuny. Then the restaurant is at the first corner on your left. Order different tapas and be sure to ask for vinegar end olive oil (the best!). Best meal this year so far :-) ... and at a reasonable price.

Map of (some) obscure bars and good places for eating and drinking

During my year living here I did extensive research on night life. Some of my findings are included in a Google map, the link to which is to be found below. Enjoy!

Origens 99'9%

Very cool restaurants with friendly staff and good prices. Traditional Catalan cusine with locally sourced ingredients - not your usual Tapas.

The menu is in the form of a food magazine which you can also download from the website.

Best Tapas Bars in Barcelona

1. Paco Moralgo 2. Tapas24 3. Bar Mut 4. Cerveceria Catalana

Great Vietnamese Restaurant in Barcelona - Hanoi

Do you like Peking Duck? Lettuce leaves with prawns or chicken mixture. This place is amazing! It took us two years to find and now we can't go a week without eating there. Order the 'Musi de Gambas' or 'Musi de Pollo' and the Vietnamese Raviolli's. They have an english menu also and a super cheap lunch!

The best Patata Bravas in Barcelona: Bar Tomas

This place is an institution. Don't be offended by the waiters grumpy, deep voiced manner - it's part of the act. Just smile. The only thing to really order here is the Patata Bravas (fried potatoes in hot sauce) and a cold beer. You'll reek of garlic and remember every bite for ever. It's also located in Sarria. You can catch a metro from Placa Catalunya on the S1, S2 or L7 lines (10 minutes away) or a 7 euro taxi.

OK Sarria - Best Hamburger in the WORLD!

Hands down the best hamburger I've ever tasted in all my travels!

My favorite is the ChiliCheeseburger with crispy bacon! Well done! Yummoooooo!!!

And it's a sports bar! Open for 20 years, 7 days a week, from 7pm to 2am! The owner says they only rest at lunch time ;-), that's why they're only open at night!

Italian to die for in Barcelona - Non Solo Pizza

Get ready to have an entree you wouldn't dream off. It's 'Caprese Burrata'. And if you like a bit of spice order the Spaghetti Arabiata.

Can Culleretes: best and oldest catalan restaurant

i had 222 years anniversary supper in this magnificent restaurant. Waitress was so careful, always looked after us. Cooking was marvelous. The ambiente is old, but really fitting and very agreeable. I paid 29 € for a 3 course menu with a bottle of water and a good red wine.

The only thing that is really odd: Its just open from 21 to 23 o'clock and there are no reservations possible. So be there early enough :-)

Absolutley go there if you are in Barcelona!

Cal Pep plaza de les olles

a wonderfull tapas place where food is prepared in front of you and the taste is magical. It's of course really busy and you'll probably have to wait in line before you can get seated at the bar or on a table, so if you get a chance to make a booking, it's possibly better. Otherwise enjoy the charm and liveliness of the place once seated expect a fantastic food and drink time, and a price of 50 to 60 €/person including wine

If you love meat, check out these two restaurants. They were recommended to me by a Barcelona steak lover.

1.Cal Boter (Catalan restaurant)

Tordera, 62, Barcelona 08012, Spain

+34 934588462

For meat, I recommend you “Cebot 500grm”. You can eat it or share between two.

Usually you should call to make a reservation.

2. Nervión (Vasc restaurant) Corcega 232

+34 932180627

For meat, I recomment you “Chuleton”. It is very big and you should share it.

------

For the best Patatas Bravas I can whole heartedly recommend, Bar Tomas in Sarrià - they are amazing!

Enjoy your trip!

All the best,

Eiso

Fast Good Balmes is one of my favorite city center places to grab some good fast food on Balmes 127. http://www.fast-good.com/local.aspx?p=nac&c=Barcelona&idLocal=6 Great burgers and roast chicken.

Gelaaati for the best ice cream ever - http://barcelona.unlike.net/locations/301368-Gelaaati

Ovni Restaurant Via Laietana 32, Barcelona You can eat how much you wish for one price... 8€ Good food.

I've also started a list of 'Best of Barcelona' with great tapas bars, restaurants, cafes and bars. http://twurl.nl/k56ki7

We had great tapas from Maitea Taberna

Nice place, really helpful staff and very tasty tapas. Reasonably priced too.

Great meal at Centfocs past Plaza Catalunya near to Universistat. visit www.centfocs.com. Has business lunch for 10euro each day. Also cant go past Market Boqueria for a morning coffee and some fresh fruit or juice. The tapas bar in middle of market also excellent - pick up some produce for a do it yourself lunch in Park Guell. Finally the chocolate shop near Hotel Atlas, and the Church Santa Maria del Pi is brilliant for hot chocolate. Most gelati shops were excellent...yum.

La Bella Napoli: truly Italian style pizza; clearly a neighborhood favorite. Worth the wait, if you must wait...

Pla – that's what it's called. It's located, (read: well hidden), in Barri Gòtic and the address Ballafila no 5 will confuse many a cabbie, (I checked and double checked on the map and this was the best I could do...). But the food, the atmosphere and the staff. Can't recommend it enough. It's one of the most pleasant restaurant surprises I had this year. Last time I checked it was rated #6 of 2494 restaurants in Barça. There's a reason for it! http://www.guidebook.se/?p=546

:: h ::

Comerç 24 – it's not the new-new thing... it has been hyped, talked about and more since 2001. It's not cheap. It's good. See my review and pics right here: http://www.guidebook.se/?p=547 :: h ::

Torre d'Alta Mar – don't go there just for the culinary experience. Go there if you want to impress your date with a rather spectacular sunset. The glass elevator ride is quite... special. Not cheap. Pretty good. More here (including the view): http://www.guidebook.se/?p=553

This place was fantastic. I hadn't found many places with portions large enough to fill my appetite. The calf sirloin was fantasic. It is served to order on a hot slab of rock along with some potatoes. Your food continues to cook on the slab as you eat. The portions were great, the drinks were made very well and I was pleased to walk away with a smile on my face after dinner. This place is also right on the beach so the sights and sounds of the Mediterranean while you eat help add to the satisfaction of eating here.

An outstanding restaurant specialized on fish and seafood although the meat is not bad either! Dress up!

Excellent food, good service and beautiful garden. The restaurant is located in a priveleged site with nature all around. The cuisine is mediterranean/traditional Catalan.

One of the best places to have dinner in Barcelona. Mediterranean food with a creative twist, friendly staff and good value for money in this restaurant by the beach. Book a table outside in Summer.

If you're looking for good pizza slices Pizza & Love is place to go to!.

Good and cheap tapas. Worth a visit!

Recommended to us by a native of Barcelona, we visited this place late one evening and were amazed by the food and the atmosphere. Can't recommend this place enough! Excellent.

Very simply menu. roasted baby lamb. The meat is seasoned with salt. The skin is crisp. To die for. The Black blood sausage with rice is the best I've ever had, definitely get it as a starter.

Heavy on fish tapas, and all of it really well done. A local took me here, not a tourist trap, hard to find, but worth it.

A fantastic restaurant inside the Santa Caterina Mercat with food from all over the world.

Loved this place! I'd recommend ordering the absolutely delicious menu Alkimia. Make reservations ahead of time, though, this place has around 15 tables and was fully booked on the Monday night I visited! Also, they are closed on Sat and Sun.

http://alkimia.cat/

don't let the waiter choose a selection of tapas. choose from the counter, tapas you like, that's the best way.

Terrible place. Had the worst dinner ever at this restaurant. I would strongly recommend NOT to go there. Saves you a lot of money, also.

They have a booth in the back of La Boqueria also. This place was my fav when I was in Barcelona. I pretty much wanted to go every day. vegetarian/vegan mediterranean fare. try the vegan paella!

Excelent food, lovely place, amazing people... Call some days before to book a table!!!

A spacious restaurant on the famous shopping street Passeig de Gracia. Serving tapas and Mediterranean specialities. Very good paellas.

There can be a wait outside for a while to get a seat, but wrap up warm and keep ordering drinks and you'll be in soon enough. Great tapas, good service and a lively atmosphere.

The Bar Boqueria in the back of boqueria market is just awsome.

Taller de tapas has great wine, tapas and a great location. The lamb is awsome.

The best drinks in Barcelona! Also very good Tex-Mex food and great atmosphere! You have to visit, you won't be disappointed.

where to buy the ticket of FCB

A fantastic atmospheric place! This place feels and breathes history. Going into the little bar in the front might confuse you at first but you will be lead trough the kitchen into a small but atmospheric family place. Although the place is called the snail it is not the famous food. The chickens are roasted outside on the street corner in the specially build roasting place. That alone is a spectacle, the inside is just as special.

modern restaurant with an English menu and a wide variety of food. Open all day and has a nice ambiance.

I do not recommend it! I was there for dinner, they were offering a special menu which was a big lie. Service was really simple and the food was not delicious.

There's a mistake, it's Tapas 24. Great rest!! Try the "Tapa de Oro"
