The best word to describe Bar Joanet with is simplicity. However, there can be a lot inside such a word. Sometimes the only thing you need is a reasonably priced coffee in a good quiet place where you can get warm in the morning sun. Or a simple weekend lunch, with roasted chicken and a good vermouth or a very cold beer. If that is the case, this is what you are looking for.
I like that Joanet is quite close to many interesting things in the city without being in the middle of the fuss. You could say it’s almost anonymous. No extras: just a lot of people sitting down and talking, specially during the weekends, to have a comfortable lunch.
I often see couples with young children eating there – it’s a good option because Joanet is located in a small plaza that is somehow easy to watch. So children can wander a little bit, and you can keep an eye on them while you finish your coffee – be it a cortado (espresso with a little milk) or a carajillo (espresso with some liquor – your choice).
Rest in the view of the trees and the comfort of a simple, almost home made meal. And also, good coffee, all morning long. From 13:00 to 16:00, only full meals are served (that means that no lingering for only coffee is allowed). The rest of the time you’re welcome while they’re open.

The best lunch ever in Spain was server in Joanet. The service was excellent and available in English as well. Starterts were all fine and the chicken as a main course was fabulous.
Heidi – I’m glad you like it… it is a favorite spot, sure thing

I really love this little bar. They have really great “raciones”. And they are kind
It is usually fullseated, but it´s ok to wait with a drink. The plaza is just lovely. I love the neighborhood – We actually bought an apartment in Carrer portal nou!!
