Great Monday night clubbing: Shôko Barcelona (5. December 2016)
Interesting enough, the Shôko didn’t charge any entrance fee – and that despite the fact that the place was way more crowded and partying than the Opium. And somehow we managed to figure a deal with Iñaki, the VIP manager, to end up inside in the VIP area to get a table (without minimal consumption) […]
Very empty club on a Monday night: Opium Barcelona (5. December 2016)
The Opium Barcelona is located by the seashore and belongs to the clubbing area of Barcelona – the entrance for guys is EUR 10.00 (but it is a voucher for a drink). If you go for a “Vodka Lemon” (EUR 12.00), it is served quickly but doesn’t taste like much. At least they take credit […]
A not so hidden speak easy bar: Bar Paradiso (5. December 2016)
I only got to know about the hidden speak easy bar ‘Paradiso’ a day before but thought I should definitely should give it a try. The hidden bar is not really so hidden anymore as it has become too public by now, so there is actually a line outside the Pastrami shop already queuing for […]
Great Japanese cuisine: Restaurant Ikibana Borne (5. December 2016)
The “Ikibana Borne” was recommended by a friend, so I decided to give it a try. To start off, I had their special drink, called “Ikibana Fusion (fresh passion fruit puree, sake or rhum (or both!), dash of liquid sugar, slice of ginger crushed in a Boston Mixer topped with fresh lemon juice)” (EUR 11.00). […]
Lovely pintxos bar in central Barcelona: Restaurant El Pintxo De Petritxol (5. December 2016)
For once I have had nothing planned for lunch so I decided last minute to pay the El Pintxo de Petritxol a visit as it was ranked good on Google Maps and the memory of Pintxos in Bilbao a couple of years ago definitely made me look forward. Once you find the place (a bit […]
An absolutely fantastic experience – Colombian & Mexican fusion: Restaurant Spoonik (4. December 2016)
Outstanding and fun experience! The night at the Spoonik is definitely one to remember – Jon & Jaime give their very best and if you end up at the Chef’s Table and actually have good company, then this can only be called a perfect evening. Once you arrive at the location you wonder why you […]

19. October 2014: Restaurant Carpe Diem Lounge Club [CDLC]
I had been at the Carpe Diem Lounge Club two years ago for clubbing – but never really for eating. However, as the restaurant I had originally booked for midday was full at the time we arrived (2pm), we decided to go next door and ended up at CDLC. Knowing that the “Chef’s Menu (a […]
19. October 2014: Restaurant Puratapa
Again, the Restaurant Puratapa is probably not the place I would usually enter – but being a bit hung over from the day before and therefore starving quite much it was perfect to grab a sandwich on the go. And while at first I thought a sandwich with Jamon Iberico for EUR 7.50 is quite […]
