Rated by customers and food critics, three establishments get the first place in service, food and atmosphere.

old restaurant

Awarded the 2010 BcnRestaurantes Award for the Most Romantic, Antigua is a place where the atmosphere is perfect for that special evening. The restaurant is warm, inviting and tastefully decorated with stone and brick walls, fresco scenes also enhance the intimate spaces. Candlelight dances against the backdrop of dramatic scenes as Mediterranean cuisine is served. The fillet of beef with foie, glazed mushrooms in truffle sauce is a favorite in flavor and creativity. Duck dragee with sautéed kiwi and Japanese vegetables and miso sauce will melt in your mouth. Located in the upper area of ​​Barcelona, ​​​​the food and the atmosphere will be a night to remember forever.

The Lady

Don’t be surprised if you see a celebrity or dignitary as you wait to be seated at this restaurant housed in a grand 19th century building. Designed and built by Manuel Sayrach in 1918, the rich Art Nouveau architecture will make you feel like royalty. Perhaps that is why La Dama is one of the few restaurants with a Michelin star. The service is impeccable and chef Josep Bullich delights visitors with Spanish/Portuguese dishes such as salmon fillet with cava vinegar and a king prawn salad dipped in orange vinegar. Bullich uses real Catalan materials to create Barcelona-style recipes based on French cuisine and the taste is an adventure to remember. La Dama also has tasting menus to find your favorite food.

lime pep

Everyone has fun at Cal Pep, a well-known tapas restaurant. Enjoy the excellent service, the wine and the friendliness of the people while you eat the tapas (Spanish sandwiches or canapés) that are intriguing and very tasty. If you’re still hungry, fish and seafood meals are served next door. Creative dishes are prepared from the freshest catch just arrived. However, after trying fried artichokes, roasted bread with tomatoes, tuna tartare and clams with ham, washed down with a favorite bottle of wine, most reviewers commented that they were fully stuffed for hours. With a bar-like atmosphere, Cal Pep is often packed with locals and tourists alike who enjoy good company, exceptional service, and excellent tapas and wines.

Barcelona has many wonderful restaurants and some that will leave a memorable impression. Put these three restaurants on your list for a romantic evening, a dinner created by a renowned celebrity chef, and a fun-filled afternoon of meeting new friends and enjoying a variety of Barcelona delicacies.
