    BEST VIEWS OF BARCELONA, HERE

    Martinez is located in the mountains of Montjuic; with a unique view of the port, the city and the sea. The restaurant is an oasis… to relax, share and enjoy.
    The kitchen prioritises the coast above all else; traditional dishes flow with the rhythm of the waves, from the Delicious Socarrat rice, to a steak, to the Quebracho charcoal grill.
    It’s a beautiful winter hideaway, and a sunny, open space in the summer.

    Here you will find a modest kitchen, dressed by the views of the sea and the mountains.

    Please avoid weekends. best from Monday to Thursday, best for lunch.

    MUCH MORE THAN IT SEEMS… GRANJA ELENA, BARCELONA

    From mouth to ear… Restaurant GRANJA ELENA…

    This place is a tiny hot-spot worth a “lunch” visit.

    Unless you know GRANJA ELENA,  you might easily walk it away…and by the way, it’s not in the city centre.

    Don’t come here for dinner (because it’s closed).

    Don’t come here for a confidential business conversation (because tables have ears).

    Come here just for a wondferful lunch experience.

    ¡ A WILL TO EAT WELL !

    Here is one of our favourite restaurants in Barcelona: CAN PINEDA

    www.restaurantcanpineda.com/

    Lonely Planet would have described it as…”AN OFF THE BEATEN RESTAUARANT” but we believe this restaurant might even escape from LONELY PLANET’S eyes….

    Worth a Star Michellin (if it was just and only  a question of high quality ingredients and preparation).

    We stop prolonging our tip, because we prefer to give you a link of a great “OFF THE BEATEN CULINARY SITE” who writes into detail about this lovely family-run restaurant:

    BOCA CHICA / BOCA GRANDE – BARCELONA

    www.bocagrande.cat/boca-chica

    This name: BOCA CHICA & BOCA GRANDE has been spread around Barcelona from mouth to ear (and much more likely from mouth to mouth)…

    One of the coolest Bars in capital letters at the Eixample Dret (right across Passeig de Gracia which is the little Champs Elysees of Barcelona).

    BOCA GRANDE refers as a ground-floor restaurant which has a very chic design, hipster atmosphere and acceptable BUT AVERAGE food,  therefore it is not the protagonist of our tip…

    BOCA CHICA instead, is the COCKTAIL LOUNGE BAR just over the stairs from the restaurant.

    This place is an eclectic mixture of Africa, Europe’s Belle Époque & New York.

    The atmosphere is completely a visual surprise, worth-it a drink or two. It consists of 2 floors & a mini dance area…AND..a peculiar toilette at the basement:

    At the toilette often a DJ plays…there is also a piano, small tables for drinks, a mosaic of small mirrors, all in ONLY ONE UNISEX compartment.

    Deffinatelly a place to feel lke Jerry Lee Lewis at “The Great Balls Of Fire”…the toilette we mean..

    But yes, the Bar above is very fine too…
