Bodega La Puntual lies down a small alleyway just off a rather touristy hot-spot. Conveniently just steps aways from the Picasso Museum, head to this gem for a glass of wine or vermouth as an afternoon pick-me-up. The charcuterie selection, and Catalan-style dishes are also well worth a sample. 

The best gelato in Barcelona? It has to be up there. La Campana is the spot for sweet tooth fanatics, their Polvorones are an absolute must. 

Tantarantana is a cosy spot for tapas and when in Barcelona it seems only apparent that this be on the cards! With traditional beams,a tiled floor, and a candle-lit glow, Tantarantana strikes towards the traditional. Though when the plates of croqueta, camembert frito and calamares come rolling out, you realise that this spot is anything but ordinary. 

No matter the time of day when Bar de Pla is open, it's busy. Old-school tapas bar but modernised by its organic wines and funky dishes. With a menu ranging from squid-ink croquettes, oxtail brioche, to cauliflower tempura, chances are you'll want to order the lot.
