Barcelona, Spain + Add a trip

Very stylish tapas bar . I was invited by a friend for the tasting menu. Generally really good designer tapas , though I thought that many of the "raciones" were a little to salty . But well worth the visit .

very pricey seafood restaurant .

The time I went there out of a party of 20 people ,5 people including myself got sick . And I know other people that this has happened . What more can I say ¿?¿?

great contemporaru hotel; beautifully located. I stayed there before and am returning again in June.

This vegetarian restaurant serves an unbelievably good three course lunch menu. Go once, and you'll find yourself going again and again...

Great decor and prime location- sit outside on the cushions and listen to the sounds of the waves and partying people. You can't miss the gorgeous giant bronze fish mounted atop the Asian-style building.

A feast for all the senses, La Boqueria is a meeting place for all Barcelona - for everyone here is passionate about eating. Though most visitors don't have the opportunity to buy and cook their own food, you can still buy pata negra jamon de bellota to smuggle home for your loved ones. Go for an early lunch...eat tapas at El Quim de la Boqueria or at Pinotxo...

A small secret. Reservations only and they open at night. Run by an Australian Chef, with an international 'crew'. They have starte to open during the day as a 'Cafe' with a photo gallery on the back run by Madrid's 'La Fabrica'. Only yummie sandwiches during the day. Real nice food at night with two menus you can choose.

Petit Comité Barcelona is a fantastic place to savour true traditional Catalan cuisine with a modern twist. I was taken there by my Catalan clients and return every time I am in Barcelona. The interior design is modern wood and metal, a bit Philippe Stark-eish. Sit at the bar to watch the chef in action.

So and So

Good contemporary tapas bar in a relax atmosphere.

You can eat a special and unique 3type paella, don´t miss it if you want to taste a good paella right in front of the beach.

I decided last Friday to have a nice food experience but the night truned different than expected. The goal was Inopia, but we were very unhappy about it. Not related to the food, which we did not even had dinner there, but about he service and the expecancies that all my netwrok had told me. We had to queue for at least more than an hour,beforeon a long list only the firts couple was allowed to go in. Reason for that, the Inopia has a special smooking room, called the street were all future costumers are waiting.In resume, after that log hour, we decied to cancel our booking, at he view that some of the guests inside had already issued twice or more to enjoy togtehr with us the smoke of their cigarettes. That might be a never ending pack of cigarettes. On such prestensious restauant sooking policy should be more strict. Will not try again, but I wuld ecmedn to enjoy a nice Gin Tonic just cacross the street on a nice and calm ba called X.

Lovely collection - don't forget to go out onto roof and see sculptures. Nice coffee shop, good book selection and OK gift store. Pleasant stroll form here to the Cable Car or in other direction to gardens and up the hill to the Catalonian Art Museum. Superb day out.

brilliant- worth the visit

This is a tiny snack-bar around the corner from Sagrada Familia. It's held by a nice french-german couple with excellent beer (you can forget spanish beer), cool music and an international atmosphere while half of people are locals.

Geheimtip ;-)

Grand Hotel Central; Amazing hotel. Staff was brilliant, the location perfect for great restaurants and shops. FANTASTIC pool on the roof with amazing views and bar.

Fabulous little apartment right in the heart of the old town and two minutes from all the boutiques and bars of Born.

A short walk from the sea too. Gorgeously furnished and really well looked after. Great value for money. Perfect for when you're fed up of hotels.

This is a wonderful garden, with superb views over the city. It's unusual in that it deals only with plants from Mediterranean climates: Spain, California, Chile, Australia, the Canary Islands... It's a bit tricky to get to, especially due to construction (as of May 2009). It's right across the street from the Olympic Stadium. Reasonable parking, no food other than a vending machine (I think...) Inexpensive!

Please note: the paths are all wheelchair navigable, but these gardens we built into the hillside, so the paths change elevation. Lots of walking, not much shade. Fabulous in March!

Une bonne adresse pour tester "creative cuisine" ou "cocina de autor"!!!

Best sea-food restaurant in Barcelona - really fresh food, informal setting and intelligently priced. Located on the heart of trendy La Ribera/El Born, this place is a must go for fish and sea-food lovers. The restaurant has a unique fish market concept: you see all the goods on display, you order, you pay by the weight, they cook and you are in heaven! approximately 20-25 EUR per person (meal + wine).

Good service, reasonably priced and a great place to have paella.

Amazing roof top swimming pool!

The location is excellent and the price is right. It's a bit of a mix between a hostel, a hotel, and an apartment building with a friendly landlord. All rooms are private and few, if any are occupied by the young back-packer type. Some rooms have private bathrooms and/or terraces, and the whole place feels very quiet and nice. All the facilities are sparkling clean and perfectly maintained. Guests can come and go as they please at all hours, and the owner, Philippe, is multi-lingual and helpful.

Typical Basque cuisine. Pintxos bar in the front and dining room in the back with a window into the kitchen. The steak with fois was probably the best steak I have ever had, and it was one of the few places in Barcelona that I had a satisfying meat-focused meal completely devoid of any ham. It's also conveniently located near Liceu, at the center of Las Ramblas but it manages to stay outside of the Ramblas bustle.

Excellent cafe serving coffee and pastries.

One of the best crêperies in Barcelona.

If you're looking for sandwiches and crepes, this is your restaurant. They make really good sandwiches and for a great price!

A cheap 1-star hotel near the Placa de Espanya well served by the subway line 1 and 3 that stops respectively at the Arc de Triomf and Espanya. Rooms are with a private bathroom, simply furnished and very clean, prices are reasonable, special offers are also available on the hotel website.

Wonderful rice and tapas to start with. A modern revision of the classics.

Perfect opportunity to get excellent service,fantastic seafood [please try black paella] and atmosphere of romantic dinner at one place. Prices are reasonable.

I stayed here with my partner for 4 days. We chose this brand new accomodation because you need only 4-5 minutes on foot to get to the Fira (Barcelona Trade Fair Centre). What is more is not far from Plaza de España and Barcelona main train Station (Barcelona Sants). The flat had nice size and design: it was fully equipped with Kitchen, TV LCD and Hi fi stereo. Even if Barri Sants is not the best place to stay in Barcelona, this accomodation was really ok, especially if you plan to go to the airport or to travel to Madrid by Train by avoiding carring your suitcases aroud the city.

If you need to rent a car with driver to explore Barcelona take a look in www.abaser.es They offer a great service!
