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. 

Ask for a spot at the bar, order the Koy tasting menu, and watch the chefs work their magic. Could this be the best Japanese in town? Quite possibly. At least our trusty gloobles friend, Troy Koltes thinks so. 

It's hard to miss El Bar Pimentel given its huge retro sign at its doorway, not to mention the bustle of the city's well-dressed locals all sipping on a €5 glass of vino. It's cool, it's vibey, and to be honest it's all we could want after a day of exploring. What is more, the tapas is sensational! 

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.
