Decent airport food – but just that: Restaurant TGI Friday’s (12. January 2020)
As I somehow hadn’t managed to eat something during the day, I was super hungry before take off and given the food selection at BCN isn’t overwhelming, I decided to go for TGI Friday’s which offers the “Friday’s Signature Burger (we’ve got the recipe for happiness: two 100g burger patties with our Fridays Signature Glaze, […]
Delicious gelato by the Roca brothers: Rocambolesc Barcelona (12. January 2020)
I was recommended the Rocambolesc by a friend as a place which produces ice cream created by the Roca brothers (the guys running ‘El Celler de San Roca’ which was one the best restaurant in the world) so I decided to give it a try given I’ll be trying the Roca brothers in about 5 […]
Perfect for breakfast: Restaurant Barra de Tapas by Carles Abellan @ W Barcelona (12. January 2020)
As mentioned, the breakfast selection in the Barra de Tapas is definitely better than in the Salt. It ranges from a variety of jams … … to pastries … … nuts and dried fruit … … cereals … … salmon … … cheeses … … fresh fruit … … and even more fruit … … […]
Great view onto the harbor and good food: Restaurant 1881 by Sagardi (11. January 2020)
The 1881 by Sagardi is nice due to the setting of the restaurant which is located on the top floor of the Museu d’Història de Catalunya and provides – especially during the day – a nice view onto Barcelona. I decided to try a couple of different things and went for “1/2 Iberian Ham Croquettes” […]
Just lost its Michelin star – and rightly so: Restaurant Barra de Tapas by Carles Abellan @ W Barcelona (11. January 2020)
When I checked in at the W, I was told that they have a Michelin star restaurant on premise. Turns out, they had one and had just lost their star in 2020. And I think that shows. I went for the “white and cured anchovy marriage” (EUR 6.40) which was enjoyable because I really like […]
Decent breakfast selection right at the beach: Salt Restaurant & Beach Club @ W Barcelona (11. January 2020)
What I always like when staying in a W is the breakfast selection. I was told that the breakfast is served in two locations, the Salt as well as the Barra de Tapas and that the offer is the same. Only the next day, I found out that it isn’t entirely. The selection in the […]
An interesting back alley experience: Restaurant Passadis del Pep (10. January 2020)
I was recommended the Passadis del Pep, so I decided to give it a try. And frankly, overall, I liked the experience. it is a bit tricky to find the restaurant overall but once you’re in, they explain to you how the concept work, which is basically, they bring you a variety of different plates […]
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) […]
