Tapas Restaurant · El Raval · 491 tips and reviews
Paul Baron: Don't go there to eat burgers... The menu is full of great surprises like this Goat's cheese on a bed of marinated aubergine and red bell pepper. Awesome for lunch and dinner for cocktails!
Paul Baron: Awesome bakery. Great sandwiches and yummy, healthy biscuits. Staff doesn't seem to enjoy tourist visits as much as they could but well worth dropping by.
Paul Baron: Not the antique shop next door that's fancy and well kept. This is a hole in the wall, with mostly broken antiques left lying around an old ground-floor apartment, but there's a special atmosphere!
Paul Baron: Good breakfast place (does lunches etc. Chain resto.). Best for its lentils salad and fresh orange juice in the morning after a workout on the beach.
Jazz and Blues Venue · El Raval · 29 tips and reviews
Paul Baron: Tiny little club that hosts (packed!!) Flamenco nights on Fridays. Don't miss this! Time of a lifetime.Calendar: http://www.tallerdemusics.com/jazzsi-club/
Epicurious: While technically a market, there are many tiny counters to gather around and sample the spot's immense variety. Check out the array and plan your next meal while snacking on spectacular fruit salad.
