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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

La Candela is a quirky restaurant in the midst of a generally very streamlined tourist route. The decor has a retro feel to it, and they're fast believers in slow food, sourcing most produce locally and organic when available. The staff can be a bit stretched, so be patient - you'll get yours.

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".

Milk is consistently popular, consistently good and always packed - a sure sign that they're on to something. Though it might look fairly ritzy from outside, the prices are not much higher per dish than the local café on the next corner, and the sofas are great for chilling, while picking up the pieces from the night before.
