Jamón y más
Paco Meralgo
Seriously insane tapas, sit at the bar and enjoy a glass (or two!) of cava along with fresh gambas a la plancha. El pepito de ternera and the gazpacho are a must! Reservation recommended.
Mirabé
Enjoy the breathtaking views from the terrace and watch the sunset over the Barcelona skyline. Perfect for lunch or dinner.
Terraza Martínez
Enjoy incredible paella and a nice glass of wine with beautiful views of the city.
Cerveceria Catalana
Classic Spanish tapas if you're willing to wait, pretty touristy but worth it! Recommend reservations in advance.
Ciutat Condal
If you lose patience waiting at Cerveceria Catalana this is another great option around the corner.
El Nacional
Elegant central bar, great for a drink or stop by one of the several gourmet food stalls.
Eleven BCN
Rooftop terrace bar in the NH Collection hotel, great drinks and beautiful city views.
Àbac
$$$. A 3 star Michelin restaurant that is truly a one of a kind tour de force of Spanish cuisine. Reserve in advance.
Disfrutar
$$$. The new hotspot of fine dining in Barcelona, pre-fix menus and gastronomy galore. Reserve in advance at least 6 mo.
Bar Cañete
From the creators of Paco Meralgo (our favorite!) comes another authentic tapas bar in an eclectic neighborhood of Barcelona.
Casa Petra
Upscale tapas with lovely terrace in the Upper Diagonal neighborhood, where the locals go
Bodega Amposta
Eclectic two story local spot with excellent tapas
Can Laury
Incredible seafood on the water by the docks. We recommend the clams in white wine with a bottle of Recaredo.
