Barcelona
in Catalonia

Hop on a 70s style stool and sip away at the perfectly brewed coffee at Bar la Camila. If you get a little peckish order som pan tomatat, or an anchovy omelette and you're all set for the perfect morning routine.  

Bar Treze is a hidden gem in the quaint neighbourhood of Sarria. They serve fantastic tapas and charcuterie boards but they are well known for their wine and cocktails, especially their gin. This place is fitting for a casual first date or an outing with friends during the weekend, to make the most out of the terrace and the quintessential Spanish sun. 

bohl may just be the place where you can find medjool dates stuffed with peanut butter, kale bowls and matcha, but it's also the spot where you can enjoy wholesome, hearty plates of goodness. A go-to brunch spot for good reason. 

Casa TAOS is one of our favourite spots for a healthy brekky and a gloriously brewed coffee. If you're passing by for lunch the salads are also a must. You can even treat yourself to a midday vino!

While the rooms are minimalist, sleek, and meet the mark, the real magic of Grand Hotel Central lives upstairs. Tucked away on the top floor is a handpicked antique, wood library curated by the hotel owner – step inside and you’re in a whole other world. But the real showstopper? The rooftop. In a city full of rooftop bars, this one stands out: pool and sunbeds on one level, a sleek lounge and bar just above. Come for a sunset dip and stay for an early dinner of tapas and wine.

Plaça del Sortidor is the central square of neighborhood Poble-Sec and has a real local-feel , making it a lovely spot to spend a few hours people-watching. On one corner of the square is La Galena, a light-filled street level cafe and one of the best spots in this part of town for artisanal coffee (they serve Harmony Roasters) and all day brunch as well as fresh juices and homemade cakes.  

Tahini miso eggplant, ricotta corn pancakes or a parmesan roti anyone? This is a breakfast fit for champions. You can even sip on a mimosa whilst you're at it. 

Not a whole lot beats a coffee and pastry for brekky. It's a heavenly combination. Especially if it's the ham and cheese napolitana or pain au choc from Origo.

Don’t let the overly cool crowd behind the draped curtains put you off. Otsu brings a  calm Japanese twist to the Catalan capital, with minimalist interiors and wooden trays loaded with rice bowls topped with shaved bonito fish and coffee broth, kimchi and egg sandos, and a jujube date matcha latte that’s worth the trip alone. The daily pastry selection is another reason to come, displayed like edible art on a vast white marble table dotted with candles and frehsly cut flowers.

Raw Studio is the type of spot you can rely on any time of the day. Morning coffee, healthy brekky, lunch to-go, or a glass of vino in the sun? No problem, Raw Studio has it all. 

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.
