A trip into the smoky
cavern

Why locals love it

The Smoky Cavern has a well-earned reputation as one of Barcelona's best. The fish is incredibly fresh, they make homemade bombas, and the mood is informel, but friendly. Since 1944, this little restaurant has served the Barcelonese.

Why you should visit it

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.
