“Cheerful street with a wide variety of bars and terraces to enjoy tapas and pintxos at a good price. In the area there are different music bars where to continue the night, such as Mau Mau, Plataforma or Apolo”

“Packed to the rafters with dusty bottles of wine, this classic but minuscule bar makes up for in tapas what it lacks in space. The specialities are 'conservas' (shellfish preserved in tins), which aren't always to non-Spanish tastes, but the 'montaditos' (sculpted tapas served on bread) are spectacular. Try salmon sashimi with cream cheese, honey and soy, or cod, passata and black olive pâté. Get there early for any chance of a surface on which to put your drink.”

“Nice seafood with fabulous see views! expensive but it worth it! Always with reservation.”

“Best and cheap selection of pinchos, 20-30min wait for a table outside but worth the wait”

“One of the best Italian Restaurant in the area. If you want pasta or pizza, this is the place where you have to go!”

“The Colombo twins (‘xemei’ means ‘twins’ in Venetian) have bewitched the most demanding fans of Italian cuisine, especially that of their Venice, their hometown. Theirs is a lovely trattoria with a very warm and friendly bohemian atmosphere. Dive in to the best of Venetian cuisine, starting with fegato alla veneta (Venetian-style liver), followed by black spaghetti (it's because of the squid ink, of course). ”

“El Cañota is a Galicia-inspired seafood tapas bar, and great for kids ! It comes with good references. It’s the younger brother of the renowned Rías de Galicia, one of the greatest Galician restaurants in the city and the country. El Cañota serves the traditional dishes: fried fish and seafood, patatas bravas, Galician octopus, ensaladilla rusa, draught beer and wine. All of it top-quality, and in a laid-back venue that’s perfect for a celebratory meal, or for dinner after Teatre Lliure, Mercat de les Flors and BTM, which are all nearby.”

“Beautiful old modernist restaurant (1908) located on a pretty square (plaza del Surtidor) . They serve tapas and Catalan inspired cuisine. Informal and good value.”

“Good for coffee and a sandwich in the centre of Poble Sec and very near my flat.”

“Local eatery with a menu for 10 euro. Try "merluza" and "tuna salad" as the first dish. Lovely service and mostly local people. No fancy, down to earth, mama-style cuisine. ”

“Excellent bakery, very good quality, highly recommend it! Up across the street from the bakery, there is a small fruit and vegetal shop which has high quality fruits, a cheaper option is further down the sam street.”
