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.

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.

This is the kind of place that just seems so typically Catalan that it almost hurts. A recent addition is an English language menu; that took them at least five years to make. The service is quick, but curt, and the noisy atmosphere means you shouldn't be ashamed of being noisy as well. A table in the front section is definitely the most fun.

You can order a glass or a bottle, but when you order a bottle of cava you must order at least one sandwich, but what seems to be an obligation is actually a pleasure, because sandwiches are minute made and you can choose from a huge variety.

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 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.

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.

There are not many palces like this - it's obligatory to hang at the bar, while the waiters keep the plates and beers coming. It's quite informal, which makes for an odd combination, considering the level of ambition of the chefs.

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.

It is widely spread among locals the culture of "going for Bravas", the same way someone goes for a beer. Actually, some "Bravas" and a beer it's said to be the perfect match for a snack. So why not having a taste of this tradition with some great "Bravas"? Bear in mind that "Bravas" can be extremely spicy for those used to mild food.

If the endless bacodillos and the sub-standard kebabs of Raval are finally getting you down, Marmalade might be the ticket - the service is friendly, informal and speedy, and the food very decent for the price. Plus, they also have a pool table for some post-dinner "exercise".
