Barrio Gotico
Els Quatre Gats:
Famous for being one of Picasso’s old watering holes, Els Quatre Gats is a classic that still enjoys the patronage of upper class Barcelona society. Good quality food served by very formal waiting staff in a charming venue, but the history of the place is what sets it apart.

Los Caracoles
Voluminous restaurant whose name means “snails” in Spanish. Unsurprisingly, snails are a speciality, but so also is spit-roasted chicken, slowly turning on the grills in front of you. There is also a full menu of Catalan and Spanish dishes.
C/Escudellers, 14 | Tel : 93 302 31 85.
Summary : Snails and Chicken

El Raval
Bar Ra.
Trendy, but not overly pretentious restaurant behind the Boqueria market, serving world cuisine. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; competition for an outside table here can be pretty intense in the summer months.

Summary : Trendy international
Price : Medium
Mam i Teca
Small, traditional tapas bar whose name comes from an old Catalan expression meaning ‘food and drink’, Great quality and a constantly changing menu of “specials” with lesser known, but equally delicicous varieties.

Summary : Trendy international
Price : Low/Medium
Port Olympic & Barceloneta
Anfiteatro
Upmarket restaurant which is a favourite for business lunches. Situated behind the Port Olympic, the restaurant is tricky to find, as it is mainly below ground level. Tables overlook the restaurant’s own ornamental pond.

Summary : Formal
Price : Expensive

Bestial
Very stylish new beach-front restaurant below the Hotel Arts in the Port Olympic. Large outside area of tiered wooden decking, perfect for al-fresco dining on a warm summer’s night. The food is mediterrean and is noticably more Italian than Spanish.

Summary : Beachside Chic
Price : Expensive
Gracia
Botafumeiro
Large restaurant specialising in seafood and recognised as one of the best Galician (Gallego) restaurants outside Galica. Behind the elegant façade the interior designers have gone a bit overboard with the nautical theme, but Botafumeiro is popular and invariably busy.
