Kiosko Universal in the Mercat de la Boqueria
The Boqueria Market, also known as Sant Josep, just off the Ramblas, has many interesting things to show to the visitors and buyers. From the spectacular and colorful variety of fruit and vegetable stalls at the entrance from the Ramblas or the amazing round center with the fresh fish and seafood over the icy countertops to preserve them at low temperature or the stalls of meats from different animals: bull, ox, cow, horse, lamb, veal and hunting animals or birds and eggs; the amazing and varied collection of mushrooms when the season comes, the stalls with pork products, pates and cheeses or...Cerveceria El Vaso de Oro
Of the few good tapas bar that you can still find in Barcelona the Cerveseria El Vaso de Oro (The Golden Glass Brewery) needs a special attention.
The tapas bar is located in the Barceloneta Neighborhood in a new building from the 70s. The inside decoration looks likes much more a German style brewery bar than a classic old tapas bar, in an extremely narrow place with a long bar that goes from one end to the other and fortunately with different doors to get in or out as it is very difficult to move inside. Nearly always busy or really very busy and even sometimes nearly impossible...Bodega la Plata
La Plata is a small bar in the corner of the pedestrian streets Merce and la Plata in the Gothic Neighborhood, that keeps the charm of the old taverns with top quality raw material, not so easy to find any more, a classic place for locals and a fun discovery for foreigners. It is just served what is called “raciones” (small plates) of recent fried sardines, tomato salad with onions and olives, fresh anchovies, pa amb tomàquet with butifarra (sausage) and wine from the barrel or beer, short choice but simple, homemade and good. Established in the 1920s this small corner bar...Can Paixano
There are few tapas bars left in Barcelona like Can Paixano. Half typical bar, half grocery store, their classic tapas, sandwiches and cellars have nurtured several generations of Barcelona.
Can Paixano, was founded in 1969, and has consolidated as an obliged visit to all those who want to have a different view of Barcelona.
Being in Can Paixano is remembering the old bars of the Barceloneta (typical sailor’s district) where time seems to stand still. It is the ideal place to eat a quick snack, always standing before continuing walking around the city. Nearly always full and to gain...Specchio Magico in Barcelona
Italian Atmosphere Restaurant in Barcelona. For pasta lovers the place to go is Specchio Magico. It is absolutely not a pizza joint, in fact pizza has never been served here. The Specchio Magico is a restaurant, small, cosy and simple place, with candles on the tables, where what really matters is the quality of the food, mainly consisting of pasta and salads, with generous portions that can be shared. You do not want to miss the selection of meat plates & the carpaccios or their delicious interpretation of tiramisu for dessert. Most of the wines offered are from different regions of Italy....
