Barcelona’s packed with restaurants, but let’s be real—half of them are tourist traps. We kept it simple and hit spots we’d actually go back to. Whether you’re looking for a laid-back brunch or a nicer dinner spot, here’s what made our list.
Billy Brunch
This is your go-to if you want a classic brunch. Pancakes, eggs, avocado toast—everything hits. Chill vibes, sometimes a line, but worth the wait.
Zenith
A bit trendier and loaded with options. Think smoothie bowls, poached eggs, oat milk lattes—the works. Ideal for a late morning after a night out.
Surf House
Right by the beach with the perfect balance of chill and fun. Great for brunch or afternoon drinks—burgers, tacos, acai bowls, and cocktails that go down easy. Solid post-beach stop before heading out for the night.
Parco
Didn’t expect to find my favorite sushi spot in Barcelona, but Parco beat all expectations. Must do Omakase or go home. Ever peace melts in your mouth.
Mr. Porter
Big night energy. This place is a high-end steakhouse with low lighting and a sleek, clubby vibe. Pricey, but honestly worth it.
Harry’s
Chill Italian spot with fresh pasta and good wine. Less flashy than the others, but super dependable if you’re craving carbs.
La Selva
A meat and seafood grill that’s kind of a sleeper pick. Feels somewhere between a steakhouse and a surf-and-turf spot. Good for a group dinner.
