Best dim sum and dumplings you will have in Barcelona. Lots of options from Hong Kong and China. You will eat well, spend a little and drink the best beers in the world. Kitchen works non-stop (no siesta!!) and it's located in Born district.

It's a bar as a bar should be. A place where people go to meet and have a beer. Simple as that. There are no fancy furniture, no fancy cocktails, no pop music. But there is an old very nice couple that manages the bar. They always have a big smile on their faces, some words of wisdom for you and old spanish music. Really good atmosphere.

La Boqueria is the oldest marketplace in town. This old market has been lauded by the famed chef Ferran Adrià and is a point of pride to the residents of Barcelona. The market was built in 1840, and in 1914, the market was covered by the lovely metal roof.

If you want to enjoy really tasty and cheap tapas, you need to go to one of their temples, where you’ll find local young and not so young people. Don’t miss the chicken wings, the calamares and the “secreto de cerdo” and if you don’t like beer or you want something more Mediterranean, try the homemade sangria, tasty and fresh.

The kitchen is uninterrupted. At anytime you can taste a soup, a salad or the tasty dish of the day. Not to mention the cakes and juices mmm! The terrace is open in the morning and it is certainly the best place to be with children.

Trópico has a very central location, just a short walk from the La Rambla. Even tough the place is most famous for its breakfast and lunch menu, they also have a dinner menu inspired by different exotic locations.

Everything made in this place is organic and homemade! The place open last year but seems to have gotten quite popular. They have a large selection of healthy cold pressed juices and many colorful smoothies. Check out their Facebook page to be tempted by all the great things they have to offer!

If you don't like fish and seafood, this is not for you. If you do, however, you're in for a treat, as fish straight from the harbour is served in an authentic, local fashion. This is a morning and lunch place, so go by while taking in the area.

Located just a short walk from the immensely popular beach at Bogatell, Savigovi offers a mix of Spanish, Mediterranean and Argentine dishes, and is a great option to escape the throng of tourists in the overpriced beachside bars. They do have an English menu, hilariously machine translated, but don't expect any English spoken.

Authentic atmosphere of an old Spanish "taberna", that serves delicious and traditional "pescaditos frito" as no other place in town. This is run by a family for over 70 years. It's the kind of place anyone feels welcome, from local gentleman playing cards, to office workers in suite, young crowd or any tourist that stops by. Brilliant!

Lots of delicious sangria, (get the full pitcher, the 1/2 will cost you nearly the same and you will want more), variety of cheese and breads. Mushroom tapas to die for and many other choices, especially for meat eaters. While there was less selection for vegetarians, trust me you don't go hungry.

Fresh-made sandwiches with a choice of salads and dressings, as well as whole diner plates for very cheap, makes this a great and healthy budget option downtown. You probably won't escape the tourists, but at least your money's not going into a corporate sink-hole. And the music's usually decent.

The ramen pasta is daily homemade and can be accompanied by a delicious miso or soya soup. If you feel still hungry, try the gyozas and the oniguiris. It is not expensive, the plates are quite big and also many Japanese go there as well, which is a good sign and guarantee.
