A great restaurant experience for traditional Spanish tapas frequented by the locals: Restaurant Paco Meralgo (17. August 2025)
The place is really somewhat simple, but there is a lot of people who book in advance and about the same number of people who show up as walk-ins, so, if you intend to eat here (at least for a lunch on a Sunday), then I would highly recommend you to book in advance. We […]
A tropical brunch location – with missing AC: Restaurant Exotica Brunch (17. August 2025)
Usually I’m not too big a fan of brunch, but I figured it wouldn’t harm to eat a little bit of something before lunch, so, I checked for a brunch place close to the place I stayed at and stumbled upon the Exotica Brunch, which looked really appealing from an interior design perspective. I decided […]
When the tasting menu is composed 95% out of beef: Restaurant Lomo Alto (16. August 2025)
Looking for a good piece of meat, we discovered the Lomo Alto and booked a table for six in advance, which is highly recommended. Given the options what you could eat here are quite exhaustive, we finally decided to go for the “Lomo Alto Experience” (EUR 90.00) and make it easy for us since they […]
A place I love to return to due to its quietness and peacefulness: Restaurant Batuar @ Cotton House, Autograph Collection (16. August 2025)
I’m not sure if you can officially just walk in and enjoy something to drink on the Batuar terrace, but I figured if we just did, they would surely not turn us away – and they didn’t. I had the “Mediterranean Smash (Bombay Sapphire, Gin Mare, Cordial Mediterraneo, Albahaca Fresca y Sorbete y Clemetina)” (EUR […]
A place I wouldn’t enter from the outside, but which turned out to be surprisingly good: Restaurant La Clara (16. August 2025)
When you enter the La Clara, you’re taken a bit aback since the entrance is basically a bar, so, you’re wondering where the restaurant part is, but that is towards the back and downstairs, so, there is actually more than enough time to sit down and enjoy a proper meal. Once we were seated, we […]
Perfect for a quick pit stop with a beer: Restaurant Bar Central (16. August 2025)
Given we decided to wander the market located close to Las Ramblas and somehow were a bit hungry from the previous night, we figured, it wouldn’t be too bad to eat a bit of something and fight the aftermath of it with a beer. So, the Bar Central turned out to be a simple place […]
Everyone speaks about it – and it’s good, but not that great: Restaurant Bar Brutal (15. August 2025)
I have heard of the Bar Brutal so many times that I never thought I would actually end up going here. I think the first time I heard about it (according to my recommendation list) was back in 2016. Ever since I’ve been many times to Barcelona but never managed to go here. Finally, it […]
A lovely roof top bar where you only find a space if you’re lucky: Restaurant The Roof @ EDITION Barcelona (15. August 2025)
It’s a few months back since I’ve last been to The Roof – and I was positively surprised when I randomly walked by The EDITION hotel again, and took the group to the roof top to enjoy a bottle of “Cava Ars Collecta Blanc de Noirs” (EUR 49.00), which was quite nice. The view from […]
