Party Earth Review Given the name, patrons might expect a lot of presidential kitsch, yet apart from a rather jarring mannequin – more on that in a second – Obama is mainly a British-themed pub with a mainly Spanish menu and mainly soccer on its TVs. Much of the three-level interior is covered in fake British memorabilia ... more

Party Earth Review Kitschy tourist traps abound along the famous Las Ramblas stretch, but Cafè de l'Òpera – in business since the 1920s – isn’t just another overpriced coffee shop. True, folks might pony up an extra Euro or two for items here, but the Art Nouveau-style interior usually offers enough free tables for anyone who wants to take ... more

Party Earth Review With a prime beachfront location, a maze-like space, a smattering of big-name DJs, and a liquor license that allows the club to serve and stay open until 6am, it’s no wonder Opium Mar is one of the most talked-about venues in Barcelona.

Party Earth Review Tucked away in a sequestered courtyard near La Seu Cathedral, Caj Chai is a romantic tea house that serves infusions from every corner of the globe, though it specializes in the Far East.

Party Earth Review In 1942, the famous Catalan writer Terenci Moix was born in Granja de Gavà (Farm Gavà), back when the location was the site of a small dairy and the surrounding El Raval neighborhood was just a shadow of the trendy hotspot it has since become.

Party Earth Review Not to be confused with the rambunctious bar with the same name on Nou de la Rambla, this Guru bar is an altogether more refined, low-key venue. A smiling Buddha in the window greets customers as they arrive, while inside, the ornate sofas, piles of plush cushions, somber browns and deep red tones, and burning incense create ... more

Restaurants in Barcelona are a mix of both modern culinary innovation and traditional Catalan fare, but the cool and diverse offerings – buoyed by a large international population and major tourist presence – make Barcelona restaurants a fabulous place to get in on some of the best Mediterranean cuisine out there. Thanks to its seaside location, seafood abounds, and practically everyone has their own take on bullabesa (fish soup-stew).
Café culture and outdoor restaurants are a huge component to the city, with noisy Spaniards crowding around tables that fill squares and plazas all over town, and gobbling down an ever-increasing selection of tapas.
More and more trendy vegetarian restaurants are taking up residence, but Catalan culture prides itself on its love of meat, especially rabbit, duck, and game. And there’s plenty of international fare in this cosmopolitan city as well, from the Far East to Africa and the Mediterranean to the Americas.
Our suggestion: tank up on a large menú del día (menu of the day) special, which is often served at a nice discount, and then waddle out of that Barcelona restaurant and into the fun Barcelona sun.
