With a spot also in Begur, on the Costa Brava it was about time this gem opened a permanent gig in Barcelona. Minimalist decor (designed by the iconic Oriol Gallart), green and white tones, and a menu fit to be shared and languished over. It's a buzzy spot, and for that most definitely needs to be booked in advance. 

One for the meateaters and seafood lovers, though Ultramarinos Marín happens to be located within an old bar it is indeed a chic asador. If you're looking for a hearty brekky, then the answer lies in this spot. 

An overload of Catalan deliciousness lands on Bar Bocata’s little white tables and bar, where bowls of spiced olives are ready for snacking while you wait for potato tortilla, Iberico ham croquetas and pa amb tomàquet. Barcelona has no shortage of tapas bars, but Bar Bocata is the one we’d happily cross town for – even if it’s just for another round of croquetas.

If you've got a hankering for some seafood then without a doubt head to Botafumeiro. First opened by Moncho Neira in 1975 and now a bustling hub for all those looking for the freshest crustaceans, oysters, and fish. Bring all of your friends and order the mixed seafood platter.
