Barcelona and the world
This place is simply divine. No matter where you are seated, you´ll be able to enjoy some stunning views on the breathtaking Pedrera, constructed by the genius Gaudi, with its white stone and wavy forms, and in the background the majestic Sagrada Familia.

Depending on your personal taste and availability – the place is very well known and reputable – you can sit at the transparent bar near the façade of the hotel, and enjoy the views on Paseo de Gracia, Casa Pedrera and Barcelona. If you prefer a comfortable seat, you can reserve one of the white sofas. The terrace is incredibly beautiful with its white furniture and draperies. 
On a summer night (on Wednesday and Sunday) you can also enjoy a live performance of a jazz-fusion band.
The prices are reasonable with respect to the idyllic surroundings, expect between 10 and 17 Euro for a cocktail. It is open all year and every day (except Mondays and Tuesdays from October to May) from 17h to 2 in the morning. We advise you to make a reservation if you want to book at table or if you want to come with a group during summer. Don´t miss this paradise in Barcelona … a unique and unforgettable experience!

The hotel may be slightly underwhelming for a five-star property, but Alaire's live music sessions Sunday through Wednesday are just right.

An old wine cellar with over seventy years of history is today one of the most popular tapas bars in the centre of Barcelona. Located on Rambla Catalunya -where it has a nicet terrace-, La Bodegueta is a landmark venue run since its origins by the Reboll family, that has a second restaurant also in the area.
An an authentic and traditional atmosphere -busy at all times- with a wood bar, marble tables and wine bottles everywhere, the offer is based on classic recipes in order to offer –all day with no interruption- an impeccable selection of warm tapas as well as Iberian ‘embutidos’, cheeses and other recommendable proposals.
At lunch time, we can also go for a set menu featuring simple homemade dishes cooked, like everything else, with good ingredients.

Fodors
If you can find this dive (literally: it's a short drop below sidewalk level), you'll encounter a warm and cluttered space with a dozen small tables, a few spots at the marble counter, and lots of happy couples drinking coffee or beer, usually accompanied by the establishment's excellent pa amb tomaquet (toasted bread with squeezed tomato and olive oil) and either Manchego cheese, Iberian cured ham, or tortilla de patatas (potato-and-onion omelet). The other Bodegueta across the intersection at Carrer Provença 233 is more spacious, equally good, and above ground. (map)

Founded in 1940, this old wine tavern is one of the more authentic options on ritzy Rambla de Catalunya. It specializes in Catalan sausage (botifarra), salamis, and cheeses. Wash them all down with draft vermut or inexpensive Spanish wines from the barrel. It's loud, no-nonsense, and a favorite with students.

Barcelona Guide
La Bodegeta, a former wine bodega, is a typical and well known tapas bar in Barcelona. Situated right on the pedestrian street Rambla Catalunya you can enjoy your tapas outside in the summertime. The basement local might have an old look, but is always full of a nice mix of customers of all ages. If you want to eat prime-quality tapas and drinking reasonably priced wine, La Bodegeta is your choice.

Ok Visit
This restaurant located on Rambla Catalunya has a very lovely terrace. The interior however is a little shabby as it's slightly claustrophobic and uncomfortable, so it's recommended you eat outside if possible, which is fine in the winter too as they have stoves. The strongest point is that it has a very authentic tapas menu. The fried eggs are really good (they price almost doubles though if you want it with ham or foie), chorizo cooked in wine, classic peppers, and the standard galician style octopus. The average price here is about 25 euros per person.

Cook Daniel Rueda and his wife, Natàlia Ferran, opened in 2010 a tapas bar they can be proud of. Good product, good prices and the hands of Daniel, trained in prestigious restaurants such as La Dama, Comerç 24 and Tapas 24. Tapeo is a small and friendly space the décor of which pays homage to the markets. In addition to the long bar that runs from the entrance to the back, the restaurant has a few high tables and one large table (10 seats).
Located in the back of the space, the open kitchen looks like a market stall. There, the chef creates his wonderful repertoire of tapas, from the most popular and traditional to the most creative ones. 

Invest in Barcelona
Tapeo Anem de Tapes is among the top restaurants in the city. It specializes in Tapas cuisine. Some of the items served on Tapeo Anem de Tapes’ menu include both cold and warm varieties of tapas. Cold ones include cheese and mixed olives, while warm ones include items such as lamb in chocolate and chopitos (baby squid in battered and fried form).


Although Tapas are included on the starters of Spanish cuisine, they are the main focus of some restaurants such as Tapeo Anem de Tapes, which serve it as an independent cuisine. This is so because of the variety of items on the list of Tapas items. Like Montiel Restaurante and Con Gracia, Tapeo Anem de Tapes’ items are also highly priced with the average price for a complete meal being approximately $40. However, the price is totally worth it. The address of the restaurant is C/ Montcada 29, 08003 Barcelona, Spain. Before you visit the restaurant it would be a good idea to glance at its website where most of the items on its menu are listed. Click here to visit the official website.

The concept is fusion tapas, blending flavours from Catalunya with spices and herbs from the Middle East. It is tapas "with a twist" - exotic wonderful flavours and the freshest ingredients! The ambient is great, the place is cute and cosy and definitely off the beaten path... we also do live music (jazz and bossa nova) and wine-tasting sessions in English or Spanish. We have a wide selection of wines - from all over Catalunya and from Lebanon! Guitar music every wednesday.

Barcelona Life
Riding a current trend in Barcelona, that of serving foreign cuisine in tapas style bites, Ziryab has already proved to be a very popular with the adventurous taste buds of the travel community. Flavours from the Middle Eastern world have been fused together with those from Catalonia and Spain and the restaurant's menu consists of delights like bacon-wrapped dates and grilled halloumi (Arab cheese) with Spanish serrano ham. Finger lickin' good! Meanwhile their range of dips are surely the best west of Baghdad, from the minty hummous to the spicy muhamarra. Finally there's a wine list the likes of which you won't find elsewhere in Barcelona, with choice Lebanese wines complementing a selection from Catalonia's Penedes region. If you're picking holes then you could say that Ziryab can feel a little cramped when full and the service is a trifle slow... but it's hard to blame the restaurant itself for becoming popular.

This is a wine and tapas restaurant very original and innovative food, mixing Catalan and Arabic gastronomic culture
The restaurant concept is innovative, its aim is to bring together the rich and spicy flavours of the Arab world with the strong and varied tastes of Catalunya to give you a unique culinary experience, while enjoying a wide variety of carefully selected wines from the wine-growing regions of the Arab world and Catalunya. Ziryab offers a unique experience, unlike any other restaurants in Barcelona.
With a quiet and original atmosphere, with traditional Arab connotations, is ideal for families, friends and couples. If you like new experiences, innovate and try new taste this is your restaurant.

Bcn Restaurantes :
A gastronomic tavern with a very personal concept of tapas was born three years ago in Avilés (Asturias). The success of its creators, chef Fran Heras –he has worked with Ferran Adrià, Ramon Freixa, Sergi Arola, Angel Palacios or Jean-Luc Figueras- and his partner Eva Arbonés –maîre responsible for the place’s great in interior design- has led to the opening, in the end of 2012, of a new Llamber- this is how their two restaurants are called- in the heart of Barcelona’s Born. The restaurant is committed to seasonality, sustainability and proximity in order to offer honest cuisine with utmost respect for the product (most of which is from Asturias). The menu presents miniature haute cuisine with original and creative dishes that boast stunning presentations and moderate prices. The space, located in an old fruit warehouse, is a modern version of the typical Spanish tavern and welcomes us in a modern, casual and warm atmosphere, ideal to share a good time with the best company. The wine cellar has more than 30 different labels by the glass and about 150 labels.

Webflakes food & dining :
Ever since Llamber opened in Barcelona, after its success in Avilés, there has been a procession of journalists and articles that, generally speaking, gave their approval of this gourmet tavern.... The menu’s dishes and “tapas” (snacks) are made to match a diner’s expectations of perfection: quality products in a warm environment, at an acceptable price. Logically the menu had no shortage of cheeses of all kinds, potatoes with “cabrales” sauce, angler fish, chorizo cooked in cider, scorpion fish pie with tartar sauce, a buttery “fabada” with its meaty accompaniment that you’ll eat until you resemble a boa constrictor, escallops with “cabrales” sauce, rice with milk and spicy cheeses from Asturias, all of them evoking butter, caverns, prairies, and rain...

OK Visit
Lets face it, when most tourists come to Spain, they're looking to have at least one fantastic tapas experience. Not only does this restaurant offer just that, but it's also located in the ever-trendy Born district of Barcelona. It's a very creative style of tapas that actually makes more traditional styles of tapas look quite boring. Add this one to your list!

Time Out 
This one is a gastrobar, or it may be more correct to call it a tapas restaurant with a distinctly Asturian flavour. The menu is very personal and creative, and there's no fussy messing-about with molecules. Try the anchovies with sweet bread and Asturian cheese, or an amazing octopus au gratin with smoked cheese. There's also a vast selection of wines by the glass to fit all budgets.

In one of the districts with more history in Barcelona and probably the one that has suffered the greatest changes in the last years, we find El Xampanyet. More than three generations have been in charge of the restaurant, that still today satisfies its varied clientele. The place keeps a decor that commemorates past times and provides it with great personality.
El Xampanyet is a real tapas restaurant. Either at the bar or at the few marbles tables, guests can enjoy delicious tapas with a glass of "xampanyet" the house's foamy white wine. Anchovy tapas are, without a doubt, the speciality of the restaurant.
El Xampanyet is, undoubtedly, unmissable for those who love the tapas atmosphere.

Barcelona.com
El Xampanyet is the bar from El Born district that has been conserved as how real old bars in Barcelona were. It is from the 1929! Its name come from the wine they serve there: a sparkling wine called Xampanyet. 
 As you know, Barcelona typical old bars where a place to spend time with friends having some tapas and drinking some beer and wine. So it's this place: tapas, cheeses, Jabugo ham and quite a lot of noise due to its small and crouded place, usually. 
Excellent quality!! You can't book, so don't be late! 

Fodors
Just down the street from the Picasso Museum, hanging botas (leather wineskins) announce one of Barcelona's liveliest and prettiest taverns, usually stuffed to the gills with a rollicking mob of local and out-of-town celebrants. Avoid the oversweet house sparkling wine (go for draft beer, real cava, or wine), but don't miss the pa amb tomaquet (toasted bread with squeezed tomato and olive oil) or the Ibérico ham served on marble-topped tables near walls decorated with colorful ceramic tiles.

Frommer's 
This little champagne bar, my favorite in Barcelona, has been operated by the same family since the 1930s. When the Museu Picasso opened nearby, its popularity was assured. On this ancient street, the tavern is adorned with colored tiles, antique curios, marble tables, and barrels. With your sparkling wine, you can order fresh anchovies in vinegar, impressively fat green olives, or other tapas. If you don't want the cava, you can order fresh cider at the old-fashioned zinc bar.

Barcelona Life
If you haven't sampled the delights of Cava, Catalonia's own take on France's Champagne, then here's your chance. El Xampanyet is considered by many to be the best Xampanyeria (Champagne bar) in the city and the Barcelonese pack this place out on the weekends before hitting the clubs. The colourful ceramic tiles are very much in keeping with Barcelona's Modernisme movement, whilst the house Cava, served in litre bottles is a bubbly well worth imbibing. The unfussy tapas is surprisingly delicious and - importantly - keeps you from keeling over. All-in-all a winner. Find it by the Picasso Museum.

Barcelona Guide
This is an old classic bar at Carrer Montcada, near to Picasso Museum with Cava tasting and good tapas.
The place is small and during the evening becomes full of locals standing next to the bar or seating at one of the small marble tables, so you might get into El Xampanyet earlier than locals, before 8.30. Sant Sadurní d'Anoia is a region near to Barcelona popular around the world for the Cava production, such as Codorniu, and other wines. Take the oportunity to taste them at el Xampanyet.

Unlike
El Xampanyet was named after the sparkling white wine that is still jovially served at this charming tapas bar. Run by the same family since 1921, El Xampanyet is currently well into its third generation. The decor is suitably old-fashioned, with countless decorative tiles and antique trinkets completing the traditional experience found here.
El Xampanyet’s tapas are typically Catalan, consisting of staples such as seafood and olives. The house special is a plate of fresh Cantabrian anchovies. The lively atmosphere attracts more than just the local tapas devotees, as plenty of young people turn up in the evening for a pre-club cava or draft beer.

Nile Guide
El Xampanyet is one of the city's liveliest wine bars, and it has been serving some fabulous cavas, fresh cider, anchovies and tapas since the 1930s. Located close to the world-famous Picasso Museum, this place draws a huge number of tourists, who simply adore the lovely atmosphere, the colorful decor and the friendly staff.

Secrets of Barcelona
Not far from the Picasso museum in Spain, sits the bohemian coffee and tapas bar, El Xampanyet. Not only does the mixture of modern blue tiled walls attract a young crowd to this eatery, but the antique artifacts attract an older crowd as well.
At the El Xampanyet you can eat tapas and sip on zinc or cava tea, the ultimate relaxation drink. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and experience life as one of the locals, than El Xampanyet is just the place to go.

Time Out
The eponymous bubbly is actually a pretty low-grade cava, if truth be told, but a drinkable enough accompaniment to the house tapa; a saucer of Cantabrian anchovies. Lined with coloured tiles, barrels and antique curios, the bar chiefly functions as a little slice of Barcelona history, and has been in the hands of the same family since the 1930s.

El Quim de la Boqueria is truly a family business: mom, dad and son serve traditional catalan dishes around the bar when there is space. Even the regulars have to wait for a place to sit, as El Quim is a stall in the most beautiful and bustling market in Barcelona: the Boqueria market. 
Boquerones, chipirones, arroz negro.. From 3€ to 9€... Best tapas around.. If there is no table for you, go to Pinotxo another tapas bar in the same Boqueria market. 

Barcelona Metropolitan 
For a proper sit-down breakfast or lunch look no further than the chef’s favourite, El Quim de la Boqueria. He boasts more than 50 regular dishes (a number set to increase now that his 19-year-old son has joined the ranks behind the stoves), all of it honest-to-goodness scran. Describing himself and his team as "defenders of the egg", try his huevos estrellados con chipirones (broken eggs with baby squid) or his signature dish: five different kinds of mushrooms cooked with confit onions and port and topped with a fried egg and a caramelised slab of duck liver. It all goes perfectly with a crisp, cool glass of cava.  (June 15, 2012)

Barcelona Life
The Boqueria market is one of Barcelona's must see sights, selling the top quality local fruit, veg. and seafood that will grace the tables of the city's best restaurants later that night. So where better than La Boqueria to go for lunch, where you can combine taking macabre photos of sheep heads and still wriggling eels and lobsters, with tasting the best ingredients in Spain at their freshest. That's exactly the draw of El Quim's kiosk restaurant in the heart of the market. Pull up a stool and let the eponymous Quim rustle up trademark dishes such as cigrons amb cloïsses (Catalan for chickpeas with clams) and xipirons amb mongetes de Santa Pau (baby squid with white beans). It's not the cheapest place in town but for fresh Catalan cuisine and tapas you can't go far wrong. Check our guide to dining out in Barcelona for more restaurant options.

Smack bang in the middle of the bustling Boqueria market, lies this small tapas bar. A favorite among the locals, it is known for its fabulous Catalonian breakfast offerings. Mouth-watering fare like Tortillas, Sautéed Squid (with garlic, olive oil and eggs) and Lamb Strips (in dark beer) and lots more are available at reasonable prices. So grab one of the 18 seats available and enjoy your drink and Chef Quim Márquez Durán's delicious offerings.

This minimalist spot, run by an Australian and an Englishwoman is described as a gastropub. You can find delicious, original recipes, with British, Italian or Catalan influences, but always extremely original results. Good breakfasts, sweet and savoury items and imaginative dishes like the American-style rabbit fried in breadcrumbs. The home-made desserts are excellent. 

Barcelona.com :
A new cafe / restaurant in the district of the MACBA. Open all day long, one comes there for breakfast, lunch or dineer. It is fresh and imaginative. Ideal for brunch.
Depending on your appetite, we would recommend: sandwiches, salads or delicious dishes like the tuna steack and lentil , risotto with confit tomatoes, homemade burger. All desserts are unforgettable (mascarpone pudding, cheese cake, crumbles…) The menu changes often, the occasion to discover other good surprises.

London’s loss is Barcelona’s gain. Among the pioneers of the British capital’s gastropub movement with Easton and The Princess of Shoreditch, Aussie chef Zim Sutton has opened up shop in Raval, with the help of his wife Poppy.
Located in the trendy Doctor Dou area, by far the safest and most gentrified part of the neighbourhood, Caravelle is a great brunch spot though equally apt for a hearty breakfast, a leisurely lunch or a succulent evening meal. Open throughout the day Tuesday through Sunday, the place serves up a creative menu that is changed daily and across mealtimes.
The kitchen is Mediterranean-based – they invariably follow the local and market fresh philosophy so favoured these days – but leaves its own unique signature with accents and dashes of Australia and London, like the fact that more space is given to aperitifs than desserts on the menu. Nibble at seafood, rices and salads, or tuck into the homemade sausages, pulled pork sandwiches, crumbles and puddings.
While the décor is as pared back and minimalist as the food is rich and colourful (let’s say it’s more Soviet spartan than Nordic cool), it’s a cosy and laid-back hangout. Fairly sleepy during the week, it fills up with a mix of 20 and 30-something locals and visitors evenings and on the weekend; arrive before 1pm or expect a wait for brunch.

Caravelle (www.facebook.com/CaravelleBCN) is a new venture by Australian chef Zim Sutton and his wife Poppy Da Costa who ran a gastro pub in London before moving here a few months ago. If the space doesn't quite capture the cosy, lived-in spirit of your classic British pub – the minimal décor is more Copenhagen than Camden - the food is bang-on: solid, unpretentious yet interesting platefuls of daily changing specials like succulent homemade pork and fennel sausages on beans, hearty beetroot and lentil salads with feta and a top-notch panko-Parmesan crusted rabbit with corn. Sunday brunch meanwhile has become a must for the cool kids in town. Main courses from €8.50.

In the popular Boqueria market we find the Pinotxo bar, a landmark place that has occupied stalls 66 and 67 for over 50 years. It opens around 6 in the morning and since that time it works literally non-stop until the market shuts at 5pm.
Juanito is the soul of such a special place and, with his improvisation skills and friendliness, surprises his guests (those who are lucky enough to find a little space at the bar) with his fresh simple dishes elaborated with dedication and imagination. His wonderful seasonal cuisine presents creations like tripes, "cap i pota", chickpea stew and much more that changes on a daily basis depending on the best products available in the market.
Pinotxo has a great many of followers that know what getting one of the stools at the bar means. A must when visiting La Boqueria.

Barcelona.com
No lie, when we go to eat at the Boqueria Mercat (market in Catalan) it’s always difficult for us to choose between El Quim de la Boqueria and this other tapas bar called Pinotxo.. Go to both and tell us what is your favourite.. 
 At Pinotxo (located to the right of the main entrance) you will appreciate for sure: lamb stew, lentils, vegetable stew, cod, grilled lobster, clams and many kind of rice.. Difficult to choose.. 


Time Out  Thu Dec 27 2012 
Just inside the entrance of the Boqueria, on the right-hand side, is this essential market bar. It's run by Juanito, one of the city's best-loved figures. In the early morning the place is popular with ravenous night owls on their way home and, at lunchtime, foodies in the know. Various tapas are available, along with excellent daily specials such as tuna casserole or scrambled eggs with clams.

Unlike
Amidst the raging colors and charming sounds of La Boqueria, you may mistake Pinotxo Bar to be cute, obviously good but just one of the many lunch options that the market has to offer. But however much it benefits from the atmosphere of La Boqueria, it is safe to say that this 15m2 corner holds the power to create that vivacious atmosphere entirely on its own. Since its opening in 1952, the family run Catalan bar thrives with the energy and spirit of Juan Bayen, the host, head chef and bartender; and flourishes with the contributions of Jordi, Didac, Albert and Javi. The food, prepared in front of you, and devoured right next to you, dares you to choose one over the other. Fresh seafood and saucy, spicy meat plates combined with chickpeas or beans are traditional for Catalan cuisine, but the meals here are in no way typical or expected. Pinotxo bar is a legend and a reason on its own to visit Barcelona.

Nile Guide
This unique spot has been open for more than 50 years and acts as a magnet for all sorts of locals—shop assistants, pedestrians on the Ramblas, business executives, civil servants and politicians all wait patiently for their turn at the bar. There is no menu and the owners—Juanito and his family—simply announce what is on offer and take an order. These are just a few of the specials you might get to try—Artichoke Omelette, Stew, Grilled Norway Lobsters, Lentils, a wide array of rice dishes and clams à la Marinera. The restaurant even has its own cava (Spanish sparkling wine), called "Pinotxo."
