When I first moved to Barcelona, I was living close to Marmalade. An amazing bar based in Raval with a cocktail menu and a cheesecake that got me hooked right away. To the point I was known as the "cosmo & cheesecake" girl. But the years went by and I moved to another neighbourhood. Not too far away, but far enough to stop my regular visits.
Moving away from Raval meant trying new cocktail bars. I have tried many, but was disappointed every time. High prices, bad ingredients; it made me switch to wine. Or walk my way back to Raval....But then I discovered Marmalade has a little sister!
Little, for Milk is the smaller version and thus a little more cosy. Hidden in the small streets of the Gotic quarter it offers you brunch, dinner (great burgers!) and a long list of delicious and affordable cocktails. It is the perfect bar to get your night started with just a drink or take your friends for a simple yet delicious dinner. Milk is open all day and also offers a good brunch menu...
But I keep going back for the cocktails, as I have never had a better cosmopolitan than at this place. You can't go wrong here when it comes to ordering a drink. The staff is very friendly and can surely advise you when you have difficulties in making a decision from the variety of cocktails. Just don't get tricked into the Michelada....unless you are very brave!
