Maybe Gaudi’s most famous building outside the Sagrada. Beautiful terraces.
Incredible 20-30 course tasting menu from 3 ElBulli chefs. Very inventive dishes in both composition and flavors. Highly recommend. 2 Michelin Stars, Top 50 restaurant in the world.
Make sure to book ahead, and don’t overlook the stunning interior. Also, great vantage point from the park beyond the front.
A must! Especially the pate with mushroom, truffle and onions and the anchovy medlar - along with their local vermut tintos - less crazy at lunch too
Best restaurant in the market. The huevos with baby squid lived up to the hype.
A bit touristy, but most epic market in Barcelona for eating lunch
Incredible pastries and great indoor / outdoor seating vibe. Jam and cheese croissant as well as focaccia all great.
Spicy sausage and duck mousse torradas are amazing. Also, try their many Catalan wines and vermuts - a cool new fave spot
Very tasty albeit a bit more expensive tapas. Cuddle fish croquettes (“obama”), steak tartare with pan con tomate, patatas bravas with extra spicy oil all great.
Fantastic coffee (cappuccino) and great breakfast croissant sandwiches, like with iberico ham or Nutella.
Hidden among the trees of Montjuïc, architect Josep Lluis Sert’s gleaming white structure shows off six prolific decades of works by native surrealist Joan Miró.
Richard Meier’s 1995 stucco building contains an impressive collection of 20th-century and contemporary art: Clemente, Fontana, Matta-Clark, Tàpies.
Ferran Adrià and his brother Alberto’s first spot since closing El Bulli is a sophisticated tapas place with serious eats: liquid olives; algae tempura. Don’t miss the house-made seasonal sorbets.
Cerebral, offbeat takes on traditional Catalan dishes are the standard at chef Jordi Vilà’s sleek space, whose menu includes tenderly cooked seafood and grilled-to-perfection meats.
Behind a dimly lit wood-paneled bar are row upon row of gin and vermouth bottles, which white-tuxedoed waiters mix expertly.
This hilltop park and the site of a civil war antiaircraft battery is great for exploring on weekends.
