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.

Celler Panotxa Barcelona

Coolest corner for eclectic vibes

"The crowd at Celler Panotxa is an eclectic mix, spanning various styles. This diversity extends to their menu, which is surprisingly comprehensive."

Celler Panotxa is more than a mere neighborhood bar in Barcelona's Clot area; it's the epicenter of good vibes and an unexpected mix of styles. Stepping into this place, you quickly realize it's anything but ordinary. The owner, rocking skinny jeans and a black tee, sets the tone for this heavy metal-themed haven, adorned with flags and band posters. But don't let this fool you – the music here is a timeless mix that appeals to everyone, regardless of their usual playlist.

The crowd at Celler Panotxa is an eclectic mix, predominantly young and spanning various styles. Interestingly, the owner might be the only true heavy metal fan around. This diversity extends to their menu, which is surprisingly comprehensive. Think caviar and champagne – yes, they have it! – along with a range of delicious tapas and small plates. Taking advice from the owner is always a wise choice.

The heart of Celler Panotxa is its spacious terrace, usually bustling but with a quick table turnover, making it worth a brief wait. The interior, in contrast, is so snug that it can only accommodate a few. The owner is a character in himself, bouncing from table to table, engaging with everyone, familiar or not. His presence adds to the lively, joyful atmosphere that permeates the place.

One thing is consistent at Celler Panotxa: the unmistakable sense of happiness and good vibes radiating from every table.

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!

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.
