Barcelona, Curated by Someone Who Actually Lives Here
Find the best spots for breakfast, coffee, dinner, and evening entertainment with local insights tailored to your tastes.
I live in Spain since 2008 and for professional reasons I ate in a restaurant 2-3 per week. Also private I love good food, so even in the weekend I tried to enjoy nice meal with good wine.
The disappointment in Barcelona is that there are too many “tourist-traps” and a restaurant might look ok from the outside or even have long lines in front, it does NOT mean it is any good.
So in this website you will find a guide to some of the best places or best in their category in Barcelona. Please try these instead of what you would get told, precieve and see.
PS. I am not sponsored in any way by any restaurant! Just here to help you find the best and have a great time.
Thank you and enjoy Barcelona!
