A charming little wine bar with a sophisticated tapas menu, located close to the Spanish Champs-Elysées area - Paseo de Gracia, and rumor has it that it is Robert De Niro's favorite place in the city..

The dishes consist mainly of seafood, but there are also vegetarian options - for example, I tried the pesto risotto and it was great.Suitable for an exciting drink after a visit to Gaudi's casa mila located in the area, or for a pleasant treat in the evening.

El Nacional

The next place is actually a beautiful gastronomic complex, the first of its kind in Barcelona - and it includes 4 different restaurants and 4 types of bars, with the idea being that all the options are in one place, and you just have to choose which style you like today. All of them bring the heart of Barcelona to the plate and at a very high level. It's worth saving for moments when you don't want to run around too much in the city looking for a good restaurant, or when you come in a group and everyone wants something different...So what will you find here to eat?

The brasseria - a brasserie with a rich meat menu, all of which are prepared on the spot and in front of the customers. La llotja - a restaurant specializing in fresh fish and rice dishes, which of course include paella. La taperia - a classic tapas restaurant. The stop - a lighter option for salads, pastas or even stopping for coffee or fruit juice.The bars are located in the center and here too you can skip between the beer bar and the one that serves wines. There is one with excellent cocktails and one that offers small dishes of seafood alongside sparkling cava.

Boca grande

When you feel like a sparkling and stylish evening in the city - this is exactly the place. On the first floor you will find the prestigious restaurant with a menu focused on fish and seafood, but here too there are quite a few vegetarian options, for example the traditional paella - which comes in a huge plate rich in vegetables and flavors. And the second floor has a nice cocktail bar that opens every day at 18:30 and for my taste serves a perfect mojito. Occasionally there is also a DJ and the place turns into a dance bar. worth following. If you've already arrived - don't miss a visit to the bathrooms, which are probably the most beautiful you'll see. It is not a cheap option, but definitely worth the experience.

Harry's

We will finish with another Italian restaurant, also from the Isabella's group, and in my opinion the most impressive. The chandeliers and the feathery lights in the ceiling, the chandeliers designed down to the smallest detail combined with the romantic music in the background makes the meal an elegant and pleasant experience.

The menu of course includes HOME MADE pasta, options with meat or fish. On the dessert menu, it's worth trying the tiramisu or the great lemon pie. The prices here are completely reasonable, so it's fun to indulge here without breaking the bank.
