We love this taberna! Llamber is a gastronomic spot that mixes traditional Asturian cuisine with fine dining. The food is fresh and locally produced. Their incredible wine list has 30 different wines by the glass. Yum!

Bicnic is a trendy spot that was established by a team from a restaurant called Betlem. The modern restaurant is divided into two sections –  fast and slow. Fast serves more simple dishes, for instance, tuna ceviche. On the slow side, we recommend getting comfy and enjoying a long meal.

Polleria Fontana is a tapas bar located in Gracia, one of our favourite Barcelona neighbourhoods! Nil Ros opened this eatery in honour of his grandparents, who staffed poultry between 1937 and 1997. To this date they use the recipes of Nil’s grandmother, putting on traditional Catalan dishes.

Can Vilaró serves classic and authentic dishes, you can almost imagine a local grandmother making it for you (yes, we admit it, there may be a bit of pattern here – we just love our grandmother’s food so seek out places that remind us of it!). The friendly staff will make you feel like you’re having a cosy dinner at home!

Spanish food is super tasty, but so is food from other countries! Poké Maoli is Barcelona’s first takeaway Poke place. These fresh and healthy Poké bowls originally come from Hawaii. You can make your own bowl and select your preferred fresh fish and fresh veggies. Perfect for a takeaway lunch / dinner on the beach, as Poke Maoli is right by Barceloneta’s beach.
