A classic that doesn’t disappoint: ice creams made fresh daily, rotating flavors, vegan options… and that cozy space where stopping to cool off feels like a small act of happiness.

In the Eixample, an honest space where Catalan cuisine is expressed without artifice: special attention to pork and market dishes that change with the seasons.

For those who love to eat a lot without spending too much: generous plates, all-day brunch-style menu, acceptable quality, and prices that won’t scare your wallet.

The perfect plan for a day in Barcelona: Vintage shopping! There is no better spot for it than Carrer dels Tallers, where you'll find the most vintage shops in one place in Barcelona.

A picturesque, multi-level park situated on the northwestern slope of Montjuïc hill, blending urban garden elements with native woodland. It serves as a peaceful retreat and a green link between the forest and the Poble-sec neighborhood below

Barcelona’s oldest restaurant in preservation. Portrait-lined rooms have carried centuries of weddings, baptisms, and long Sunday lunches. This isn’t a place for innovation; it’s where you order canelons and suquet and enjoy. A survivor run by people who care about the past, where tradition takes the lead.

In the heart of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, Los Caracoles opened in 1835, born of the Bofarull family’s kitchen. Here, the signature dish of snails (hence the name) became legendary. This place is more than a restaurant: a chapter of Barcelona’s story in taste and time.

A cocktail bar remembered because Hemingway used to frequent it, but the ghost that truly matters here is Miquel Boadas, who in 1933 brought the Caribbean spirit and the savoir-faire of La Floridita (Cuba) to a little alley off Tallers. Here, the shaker isn’t shaken, it’s officiated.

The dean of the Eixample, dating back to 1873. It opened when all this was still mud and promise. Its iron columns witnessed the birth of a neighborhood. A recently restored café that now operates as a restaurant run by people who care about the past.

Dairy archaeology in a city that adores its afternoon snacks with chocolate. This is where Cacaolat, a Catalan icon, was born, and all it takes is sitting here to feel the weight of that history on your shoulders (and in your glass of hot chocolate with whipped cream).
