Top 10 Restaurants & Tapas Bars
-
1. Tragaluz
The who’s who of Barcelona wine and dine in this design-conscious, three-floored restaurant. Imaginative Mediterranean menu.
-
2. La Semproniana
Set in an old printworks, this place serves food that’s a cross between Catalan and nouvelle cuisine – with a sense of playfulness. Try the black pudding lasagne.
-
3. Miranda
The emphasis at Barcelona’s first decidedly gay restaurant is on drag queen acts, not the economical International food.
-
4. L’Olivé
An unassuming, family-style restaurant with excellent, well-priced regional cuisine. Reputedly the best place to eat that Catalan speciality pig’s trotter. The broad bean salad with mint is recommended.
-
5. El Japonés
El Japonés pulls in a lively, hip crowd to feast on sushi, sashimi and tempura at communal trestle tables. Low lighting, buzzy atmosphere.
-
6. Casa Calvet
Splurge on Catalan food with a modern twist and fine wine in the impressive surroundings of these Gaudí-designed dining rooms.
-
7. La Flauta
An economical, any-time-of day option serving hundreds of types of flauta (thin baguettes).
-
8. Qu Qu
Hugely popular tapas; the three-cheese croquettes hit the spot.
-
9. Cervecería Catalana
Just a few steps from Rambla de Catalunya, with some of the best tapas in town and a variety of domestic and imported beers.
-
10. El Principal
Oriental in design with a great terrace and “new” Mediterranean food.
