Other bridge in a Barcelona deserted Everyone has fled except you, as always. But this time you’re not going to spend the days of party in a bathrobe, eating Cheetos. For this bridge it is time go out and enjoy from your city. It’s time to relax in a evening with friendsto take advantage of the fact that your children have gone to dinner with your partnerof have a botifarra with beans for breakfast light years away from tourism, from taking selfies at the trendy ‘steak house’… These long weekend days you have work: Barcelona It will be too small for you.
1. Date without children
Unforeseen night
Your children have hollowed out the entire bridge; the perfect opportunity to rekindle the flame with a appointment like before, without looking at the clock, with the whole night ahead. It is time to visit Imprevisto (Bailén, 104) and surrender to your kitchen and cellarthe best of the Eixample.
This young restaurant relies on two tasting menus with an excellent quality-price ratio: 47 euros for seven passes65 euros for 10 passes. And seduces from minute one with a attractive kitchen, pleasant, with seasonal products and author twists that make a lot of sense. The menus They change regularly, but in the record of my visit there is a ‘steak tartare maddening, a duck of smacking the tip of your nose or a smoked sardine snack amazing. And yes to pairingthat he sommelier Alberto Jamie León He is one of those who does not save artillery; What great wines the guy has.
2. Trip to Peru
Golden pisco
Every kid has gotten a travel impulse unstoppable and you have the troops spread all over the world. But revenge is a dish that is served cold, like Ceviche. That’s why you’ll go to Leche de Tigre (Casanova, 262), because it will be the closest you can get to Peru without leaving Barcelona. While your friends eat infernal queues at the Colosseum in Rome in the freezing cold, you eat the best peruvian cuisine in a warm space, 10 minutes from home.
You will start with one of their Pisco Sour. You will continue with the classic ceviche. You won’t say no to chicken chilito the lomo saltado or to the anticuchos of heart. Other Pisco Sour. And for dessert, the five milks and five thousand photos sent to your traveling friends, so they can see that Lima is not that far away as it seems.
3. Carnivorous posture
Photos and entrecotes
Are you tired of seeing your friends’ photos? posturing in ski resorts? Your counterattack is called Carnal (Enric Granados, 52), a ‘steak house’ which is doing very well thanks to two factors: a sumptuous space and instagrammable to the core, and a letter from matured meats of high quality, perfectly grilled with wood. In Carnal you live and eat in style.
The arrive steaks and the flashes go off. The hanging chairs They are candy for mobile phones. The wooden tables and jungle ornaments accentuate the unreal nature of an expensive experience, but one that is worth living (and immortalizing in your ‘stories‘) even if it is from bridge to bridge.
4. Escape to the farmhouse
Knife and fork
When it touches bridge Indeed, the people of Barcelona give up their city to the tourist horde. If you can’t defeat your enemy, stay away from him. And if you don’t have a second residence in Cerdanya, you can flee to La Bordeta, to the new brasserie Tramendu (Parcerisa, 11), the antithesis of traps for guiris. This meal House venerates the knife and fork breakfastand celebrate the family meal in the heat of the good ember. It’s like being in a farmhouse. The new project of the Tramendu family welcomes you with checkered tablecloths, aioli in mortar yellow ceramic and a parade of classics Catalan cuisine ‘of all life’ that does not give truce: pig ear imperial, ribs delicious lamb, pork cheek creamy, escalivada impeccable… You can complete the getaway in the vermouth-gastrobar that Tramendu has two minutes from the brasserie (Passatge d’Andalusia, 8), with a tortilla and some anchovies hand-made that still scream my name.
5. Healthy bridge
green tide
The easy thing would be to indulge in animal protein and the coarsest fried foods. but have party it does not have to be at odds with Eat Healthy. And here comes Virens (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 619) and his commitment to signature cuisine with “natural, vegetable and fungal products” always in the foreground, never in the rearguard.
Although it is not vegetarian (there are dishes with meat and fish), Virens think green and it does so armed with ecological, local material. Rodrigo La Calle and his team have found a formula with own seal that I recommend enjoying in its different tasting menus, so subject to the product and the moment, that you don’t know what you are going to eat until you sit down at the table. The prices go from 60 to 95 euros without pairing. By the way, tell them to let you toast with them. homemade celery dig.
6. Sushi night
Lost in Tokyo
Nothing like a sushi night with your people to make this bridge in BCN more bearable. In Akashi Gallery (Rosselló, 197) you will be calm and you will have a perfect space for relaxed conversation. Are the advantages of being one of the best sushi restaurants in Barcelona that never appear on the lists.
Akashi Gallery japanese cuisine without nonsensewith a collection of nigiris and uramakis of the highest level, a eel donburi that drives you crazy, and a list of tapas and dishes Very well made Japanese. Small, intimate, pretty and real japanese. Sssh, don’t tell anyone.
7. Outing with the kids
Those short crazy people
You have stayed in Barcelona with your childrenand your brother too, and tomorrow you will all stay with him and your nephewsand that will be a without God, and you have to find somewhere to eat. First option: Ribs (Dr. Fleming, 10). Yes it is a chain American foodnot the Via Veneto, but it has a playground that will attract and contain the puppies, while the adults devour ribs like possessed Second option (more eco): the secret garden terrace by Alice Secret Garden (Pau Claris, 90), a green corner inspired by Alice in Wonderlandso that the children burn off all the sugar that the cakes at home have provided them.
