Guidebook for Barcelona
Food Scene
Great neighborhood tapas, reasonable prices and everything is always fresh. It’s what locals call “cuina traditional de mercat” (traditional market cuisine) There is no menu, just a board listing the dishes of the day. Once a dish is finished, it simply gets crossed off the board.

Best tapas in Barcelona, nice area, sit at the bar and try the “pulpitos” and the duck paté . Early for lunch is best, at the bar, so you can point and eat. They all speak english. If it’s full sit outside on the Ramblas.

Spanish home-style cooking in an authentic atmosphere, located in the Raval. Nothing fancy but filled with locals and run by what seemed like family. Food was good and very reasonably priced. Excellent menu, had many choices and there were specials of the day, including paella. Simple food but good.

Because life without dumpling is not worth living, that’s their slogan, this restaurant became my favorite in the Born. Their serve exotic asian tapas, with influences from Hong Kong, China and Vietnam. Great quality food and drinks, an acceptable variety of beers for reasonable prices. Just make sure to make reservations or go with enough time to wait in line because it’s a small place and is always packed. Anyway it’s worth the wait, specially if you are having a good time with friends or enjoying a beer.

The menu is fresh and healthy with unusual combinations that are very tasteful. Most of the vegetables are grown specifically for the restaurant, like kale for example which is almost impossible to find in Barcelona. For those who wants to eat healthy, enjoy a nice venue and a new eating experience, this is the place to go. Not expensive, not cheap and the kale chips are fabulous.

Cozy, non touristy and very good restaurant. The meat is very good and made with optimal coals. Everything is prepared by an Argentine guy who has been here for over 25 years and cooks for passion. Fortunately, it is quite unknown by tourists and that's why this little neighborhood restaurant is not crowded. They offer a daily menu for 11Euros at lunch time and 16 at dinner time. There is Paella on Tursdays !!
