Bar Bocata
My sister and I found this little spot while wandering through Gràcia. We got the window table, ordered a few tapas and had a tortilla I'd happily come back for.
BEST FOR: A relaxed lunch that doesn't cost a fortune.

The Best Restaurants I have Tried
in Barcelona (So Far)
Wondering where to eat in Barcelona? These are the restaurants I have actually tried and would happily recommend to a friend. From casual lunches in Gràcia to natural wine and dinner in El Born, plus date-night spots in Eixample. I will keep adding to this list as I discover more of the city.
Malparit
Lively, a little loud and just really fun. Good food, a great atmosphere and somewhere I'd happily go back for a date night.
BEST FOR: Date nights or dinner with friends.

Bar Brutal
Natural wine, creative sharing plates and those sardines with miso butter I still think about. A little pricey, but definitely worth trying.
BEST FOR: Wine lovers and a slightly more expensive dinner.

La Balabusta
Middle Eastern-inspired sharing plates, natural wine and a candlelit atmosphere. The restaurant I chose for dinner with my boyfriend's family — and would happily choose again.
BEST FOR: Dinner with friends, family or a date.

El Casal
Come for the food, stay for another glass of wine. Gratinated oysters, French-Spanish dishes and a terrace I'd choose every time.
BEST FOR: A relaxed lunch or dinner with friends.
