Simple cuisine with Galician touches in the Plaza Reial
CATALONIAN SQUARE
Space between the Triangle, the Apple and the Corte Inglés is limited, but the very recent La Esquina _(Bergara 2) _ has arrived to show us that eating here does not necessarily mean going to Hard Rock's café. It is one of those modern places with rollaco in which you can have a -delicious- coffee with a cake that a combi menu for 15 euros consisting of a dish with three different preparations. British roll, Italian coffee pots and international good taste.
Eating QUIET in Plaza Catalunya is possible
In two steps, University Round multiplies the gastronomic offer. We stayed with the hamburgers at Bacoa _(Ronda Universitat 31) _ and the healthy and delicious dishes at Woki Organic Market _(Ronda Universitat 20) _.

THE RAMBLAS
tricky terrain. Some of the worst examples of how badly the city treats its tourists and how little respect it has for the noble profession of feeding others are here, in the form of paella+sangria combos and stale tapas of dubious freshness. And it is absurd and unforgivable, because on the Ramblas is the Boqueria , of which we have already made a dissection here . If you want to eat with a view of the street, the Centro Gallego bar is a curious place not very well known, with the classic Galician tapas and a menu of the day at a good price _(Rambla 37) _, and in the lower part, a step away from the colon, we recommend the historic Amaya _(Rambla 20) _. Be careful, there's a trick: you have to go completely past the terrace and enter the restaurant, where the waiters of all life are, good food and good work.
Boquería Market, the definitive snack
ROYAL SQUARE
If, in spite of everything, the offer of the Rambla does not convince, it is enough to go to the adjoining Plaza Reial to find a plethora of restaurant offers for all tastes and pockets. We highlight the hotel DO. Reial _(Plaça Reial 1) _, whether its way of “The kitchen of the DO” , the option of more high-flying in the old wineries, collected and exclusive, or on the terrace at the foot of the square, to have tapas and informal dishes (or even the roof terrace, with amazing views).
collected and exclusive
On the other side of the arcades, the Ocaña _(Plaça Reial 13-15) _ is a café, cocktail bar, contemporary Mexican restaurant and one of the places to be. And just a step away, those responsible for two restaurants of simple creative cuisine with Galician touches that drive everyone who knows them crazy, the Arume and Wax 23 , they have opened the Viana _(Vidre 7) _. We do not need more data to go head.

PORTAL OF THE ANGEL
In the middle of an intensive and exhausting shopping day, the Cercle _(Carrer dels Arsc 5) _ shines like a dream break . Japanese bar, terrace with views that will make all the shoppers leaving the H&M very envious of you, a classic restaurant reminiscent of eating inside a museum and the unique opportunity to get to know inside the Royal Artistic Circle.

SANT JAUME SQUARE
It's easy: it's practically the only option, but we don't need anything else. The sandwiches at Can Conesa _(Llibreteria 1) _ are not something that gets you out of trouble if you are in the area, they are something you purposely scroll through wherever you are.
CAMP NOU
The surroundings of the Barça field are a good compendium of populous bars in which to have a snack before or after the game and restaurants of the whole life of the Les Cortes neighborhood . Among the latter, the most famous is Can Fusté _(Gran Vía de Carlos III 50) _, one of those market food places that being able to take your father or your grandfather because they are a guarantee of eating “as God intended”. For something more informal, the neighborhood Tapas Workshop _(Travessera de les Corts 64) _ is suitable for groups with diverse tastes.
Perfect to take your father or grandfather
GUELL PARK
The options around here are not to throw the bells on the fly **(it is a park, there will be no better plan than to carry the sandwich in the backpack) **, but if you avoid going out through the main door, the one on Carrer D'Olot , and you choose the one on the right, the one on the Carmel road, the Terra Mia restaurant _(Ramiro de Maetzu 31) _ is a simple, small and authentic Italian (Sardinian) with one of those little terraces that will make you promise yourself come back expressly just to sit on it one more time.
If you don't take a sandwich to Parc Güell, this is the best option
SACRED FAMILY
Between the buses and the queues of visitors to the prima donna of the Barcelona churches, there are some excellent places to eat things that are not too obvious. Can-bar _(Mallorca 438) _ it is the personal purpose of Carmen she, that when she fell in love with a brand of French canned preserves, she thought they were so good that she had to open a restaurant to serve them.
Can and wine = perfection
Today, her success proves that she was not wrong. Also in a passageway next to the Sagrada Familia, La Taquería _(Passatge del Font 5) _ is a struggling Mexican with excellent finger-licking tacos, while Oporto _(Sardenya 296) _ is the Portuguese restaurant of homemade food for which codfish We had been sighing for a long time. And, this deserves an exclamation of joy, they have francesinhas!
