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.  

From the same team behind Tiberi Club and the downstairs Tiberi Bar, comes the newly opened Casa Montjuïc. At this cultural centre there’s a forward thinking curation of regular events from documentary film screenings and vinyl music fairs to club nights featuring local live music talent and DJs. Catching an event here followed by a wine downstairs makes for a great evening out.  

Bacaro is the younger brother of Xemei, the food is just as tasty though it's the spot for a more low-key, less indulgent Italian feast. Taking all the elements of traditional Venetian cooking and fusing them with some more modern twists; the carbonara is tossed with fish, and the squid ink risotto infused with mayonesa de plancton. And boy it just works!

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.
