Cesar from Barcelona

<strong>About me</strong> I was born in Madrid, but I've lived here and there due to my job in the tech industry, having spent half my life traveling the world. Thanks to that, I've had the chance to meet people from all sorts of cultures and with diverse tastes. This sparked my curiosity to learn more about how people live in their own countries.

Bar Omar Barcelona

A Blending Bar and Bistro Vibes

"Here, classic bar snacks like croquettes, bravas, and potato salad coexist harmoniously with more substantial, stew-based dishes."

Tucked away in the bustling streets of Barcelona's Sant Gervasi-Santaló neighborhood, Bar Omar defies the conventional. At first glance, it may seem like your typical bar, with its prominent counter greeting you as you step in and its cozy size echoing the intimacy of a local tavern. However, Bar Omar is a culinary chameleon, seamlessly blending the soul of a restaurant with the casual flair of a bar.

What sets this spot apart is not just its ability to serve up delicious bites at the bar—making it my favorite spot for enjoying the lively atmosphere of the restaurant from the best seats in the house—but also its carefully curated menu. Here, classic bar snacks like croquettes, bravas, and potato salad coexist harmoniously with more substantial, stew-based dishes that showcase a mastery of flavors and presentation. It's a place where every dish, be it a bar classic or a restaurant-worthy main, is crafted with care and presented beautifully.

Dive deeper into the heart of Bar Omar, and you'll discover large pots simmering with the day's specials behind the bar, alongside an array of mouth-watering cheesecakes (the pistachio one is a must-try!). Despite its unassuming appearance, the option to order half-portions (just ask!) and the exceptional friendliness of the staff make dining here a delight.

If you're a fan of 70s and 80s pop and rock, the soundtrack of this place will be perfect for your evening: Phil Collins, Dire Straits, Michael Jackson, The Boss...

Ca La Roseta

The search is over

The first time I had a coffee at "Ca La Roseta", I told the owner 'this is the best coffee I've had in Barcelona'; he calmly replied: 'of course it is!'

Collonut

Tapas, vermut, vermut & vermut

"Collonut" in Barcelona is a typical Catalunyan vermut and tapas bar, but they have managed to give it a nice young touch - and it's not a tourist trap!

Bar with tropical vibes

"El Tigre" is a lovely terrace with tropical vibes in Barcelona! It got me hooked from the 1st time! My favorite here is the pomada, a refreshing gin-lemonade...

Parallelo

Artisanal street gelato!

"Parallelo" gelato is my absolute favourite in Barcelona. Totally worth the 2.5-km walk there. My favorite is the cream-peanut-dulce de leche ice cream!

Crossandra is a quaint little shop with a clear focus: cannelloni and croquettes to go. The selection includes gluten-free & lactose-free products as well.
