Food Scene

We love Minyam for its house speciality smoked paella dish (try it!), and friendly service. Groups of around 6-8 should try to book the round table in front of the window, it's the best!

One of our favourite places in Poble Nou! Great tapas with a twist; chicken goujons with a wasabi mayonaise, bravas like you won't taste anywhere else, mussels steamed with aniseed and orange...They don't take reservations so make sure you get there early!

Excellent, practically Michelin-star worthy (in my opinion) restaurant. Totally unassuming from the outside, decor inside is also very plain but it's clean and the food is spectacular!

Absolutely beautiful place, great cold meats, cheeses, fondues & salads, all washed down with a wide selection of wines and cavas. Service can be a bit slow sometimes but for the price its really worth a try!

Belongs to a fellow Scot, it's an old hardware store / ironmonger turned into a gastro / cocktail bar with great decor. The sign outside is the original one from the bar's previous life. They also do food and sometimes live music. Opposite Minyam restaurant. http://baliusbar.com/

Nice bar for beers or cocktails. It has a terrace on the Rambla and a very sunny one out the back (through the other side of the bar), ideal for lunch-time aperitifs!
