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 […]
If you want to get a paella overload, then this is the right place: Restaurant Maná 75 (15. August 2025)
To visit the restaurant was a recommendation of a friend, hence, I was quite curious what to expect. And frankly, I was positively surprised. The place is rather simple, but you find everything from locals to tourists – which is usually a good sign (the locals, not the tourists). That being said, it’s crucial that […]
Delicious breakfast, exquisite service, but on the very expensive side of things: Restaurant Veraz @ Barcelona EDITION (2. March 2025)
The quality of the breakfast at the Veraz is exquisite – no question asked. However, the fact that you end up paying EUR 45.00 for a few items feels quite a bit off. Ultimately, I went for the “eggs Benedict (avocado, two soft-boiled organic eggs and Hollandaise sauce on sourdough bread with sustainably certified smoked […]
One of the more amazing recent Bib Gourmand finds I’ve had in Barcelona: Restaurant CruiX (1. March 2025)
The CruiX was a restaurant I had looked at quite a few times already in the past, but it was finally time to go and try it. And it’s definitely worth doing so! Even if you go for the late shift after 10pm, you will have a lovely experience. I decided to go for the […]
Quite a delicious option for wine and dine (or lunch): Restaurant Veraz @ Barcelona EDITION (1. March 2025)
I was positively surprised by the offering the EDITION has on its ground-floor restaurant. The “beef tartare on coca bread toasts (cured yolk and micro green)” (EUR 20.00) is an absolutely tasty bite. The meat is rich and perfectly seasoned, and it goes well with the egg yolk. So, definitely a great starter. If you […]
