- Bardot, is a cozy restaurant, a french style bistro serving catalan cuisine with a twist. The service is excellent and their wine list is extensive and wonderful. I had gone when it just opened and I am glad to say that it is aging very well like wine. On c/ Enric Granados, 147. Tel: 932 00 22 14
- El Mercader de L'Eixample just opened a month back in this british style house. It's a small restaurant offering ecological products and KM 0 food. I just discovered it and loved it. They always have some vegan/vegetarian options in their Catalan cuisine. Their terrace is just so pretty and the interior is cozy with the kitchen à la vista. They also have an interesting small private hall downstairs for 20 people. "We Love to cook, and what we love in the Kitchen, we like our customers to get on their table." On C/Mallorca 239, Tel
- In the Borne you will pass by a casual sandwich place called the Pastrami Bar. They serve wonderful bites by Rooftop Smokehouse -a food truck you might have seen in some food markets. In this small space you will see a fridge, and you will see people disappearing behind. Here comes this speak easy bar: El Paradiso. The speakeasy bars were born in The Usa during the prohibition years. El Paradiso is this elegant wooden bar with the most delicious and incredible cocktails, you can also accompany them with wonderful smokey bites. Perfect for a secret date. C/ Rera Palau, 4
Toc Toc Toc, who is it?
Grilled cheese with a citric mocktail. - I had discovered them in the Palo Alto Market. It was just a sample of the wonderful little french corner they have in poble Nou: Madeleine Mon Amour. I loved the salon de Thé, and had madeleine à la Proust among other delicacies. Soak your madeleine in your hot chocolate and be in heaven. Wonderful lunch menu with salads and succulent savory madeleines, nice wines, champagne and cheeses. A chic informal place, worth the trip till poble Nou. “No sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and I stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me.” Marcel Proust.
