Otra Cosa Taberna
Sant Andreu's joy
"Otra Cosa Taberna" in Barcelona has good food with artisanal ingredients and focuses on natural wines. You have to try the orgasmic 'tres leches'...

El Sortidor
Modernism gem in Poble Sec
"El Sortidor" in Barcelona is a tapas bar/restaurant that is located in a very traditional place with quite some history. I recommend the daily lunch menu!

Can Cisa
Bar brutal
"Can Cisa" Barcelona is an excellent Italian restaurant on touristy Calle Princesa in Born. All their wine is organic and served with a broad Italian smile!

Rubi
Genuine gin!
"Rubi" Barcelona is the place to to for gin tonic. They brew their own gin! I love this cosy and small off the beaten path cocktail bar in Born.

Makamaka
Beach burgers
"Makamaka" Barcelona is my favorite gourmet burger bar, although it's located on the tourist trap street Passeig Joan Borbó... Hipster, but also no-nonsense!
