Downstairs from the sister cultural space, Casa Montjuïc, Tiberi bar is the first permanent space from food studio Tiberi Club. With its mirrored walls, stainless steel bar stools and low wooden benches, the aesthetic is minimal but clever low lighting and friendly staff ensure it feels cosy. The short sharing menu comes from Fran Baixas, former chef at Mugaritz R&D, while the wine is natural and local.  

Tacos, sopes, tostades and a good serving of guac; El Pachuco is the spot to go to for a jolly good Mexican feast.  Not only is the food great, this taquería also happens to be one of the best mezcalería's specialising in tequila based cocktails, mezcal and of course iced cold cerveza. 

On a quiet street in Poble-Sec just before the city meets the hillside park of Montjuïc, this boutique bolthole has a modern tropical aesthetic and a lovely little rooftop complete with plunge pool. Expect excellent breakfast from local bakery Funky Bakers, complimentary yoga and boxing classes from nearby fitness studio Beyond BCN and nice touches like the hotel’s daily ‘Brummell News’ that shares current goings on in the city.

On an unassuming sloping street in Poble-Sec, this excellent Peruvian-inspired spot serves up a fish and seafood heavy menu with highlights including oysters in tiger milk, tuna ceviche and thai style mussels. The pisco sours aren’t to be missed (both the classics and the twists) and Sunday is a great day to visit with the regular afternoon Pisco Disco sessions featuring live DJs and a guaranteed lively atmosphere.
