DAY ONE
• Breakfast
Chök (1) is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. The guys here are obsessed with chocolate and it shows. From decadent handcra ed tru es to trendy ‘kronuts’ and ‘Chökanias’, plus colourful gourmet doughnuts in over 30 di erent avours, you’ll be leaving on a sugar high! You can even step into the open kitchen to watch the chocolate masters at work.
• Lunch
Located in a half-basement and buzzing with energy, Tapas 24 (2) has a contemporary vibe and a delicious selection of some of Barcelona’s best tapas, o ering a modern twist on Spanish classics. Go for the Bikini Comerç – a hot sandwich of black tru es, cured Iberian meat and bu alo mozzarella. Get there early before the locals lunch for any chance of a table.
• Dinner
Dating way back to 1835, 7 Portes (3) is a haven of old world dining, delicious paella and spectacular seafood down near Barcelona port. The dishes are based on classic recipes with the occasional contemporary spin. Try the Zarzuale lobster casserole accompanied by music from the grand piano, in a wonderful setting.
DAY TWO
• Breakfast
A favourite with Catalans, Granja La Pallaresa (4) has been serving up the Spanish speciality of drinking chocolate since 1947. Indulge in smooth, thick, dark chocolate topped with whipped cream and accompanied by a freshly baked ‘churro’ – the best way to start your day.
• Lunch
Known for its seafood tapas, tiny Cal Pep (5) is somewhat legendary and the daily queues backing out the door stand testament to that. If you’re lucky, you’ll get one of the very few tables, but if not just perch on a stool at the bar and get ready to taste some of the most amazing, authentic dishes in all of Barcelona.
• Dinner
Named a er the enormous incense burner hanging in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Botafumeiro (6) is
an elegant place to wrap up your time in Barcelona. Fish is sourced from the Catalan and Galician coasts and beautifully presented by waiters in white jackets. You can try the incredible fresh clams and oysters or go for the spider-crab pie – a house delicacy. The wine selection is also as varied as the seafood.
