We have already released the one and, in addition to the changes of menu that many restaurants make these days, which are a good opportunity to return, there are also new premises that add to the varied and dynamic Barcelona panorama. Some still smell like paint because they have opened a few weeks ago, others have been up for a few months, while some have been a little more filming, but we can still consider them to premiere. More than anything, because with so much new, even the most tastaolletes does not have time to discover everything.
World Bar
It is one of the newest we will highlight, it opened on September 10 and, paradoxically, celebrates 100 years of existence. Has an explanation. After five years closed, the, a classic Born bar that opened for the first time in 1925, has reinforced almost intact, at the hands of the specialist in recovering and respecting those establishments that give uniqueness to the city. The space and the menu remain almost the same, and the best prices are still tight. It retains the same bar and walls full of boxing references that have always been accompanied by it. Fish and seafood define the menu, with tapas and saucers such as the usual cuttlefish; the trout of ‘Camarones’, the pickled sardines, the foie of smoked cod; the fried octopus sandwich, and stews such as the Callos de Mar, the fisherman’s suquet or the sautéed chickpeas.

For a few weeks now, Poblenou has a brother in the Eixample.

Rooster & Bubbles Eixample
We need to talk about another restaurant who came out of a brother. , which opened four years ago in Pla de Palau, now also has a dining room in the Eixample. And this is one of those restaurants that is good to have on the radar when you leave for lunch with family and creatures. Its star dish is the chicken in the ast, but also roast other pieces of meat such as pork, lamb, duck or pig. To start the bravas potatoes are very good and the macaroni are also to lick their fingers. A very easy letter for children to be happy and the big ones too. Why do you don’t like creamy chicken croquettes in the AT? In addition, here you will leave for a reasonable price as long as you do not go with the cava, the drink they recommend to accompany the meal. Hence the roast and bubbles of the name. Carre Paris, 177. Average price: 25 euros
Gyojasang Korean Kitchen
The fashion of the Korean barbecues is still up. One of the newest is. It is a large space, with a very Asian aesthetics (Tirant at night) and invites you to go in groups.

Calle Mallorca, 182. Middle price: 25 euros
The pyreneic grill
If you have become famous for some pyrenean butter, it is for its trout, especially the potatoes, but also with other fillings, that journalists and journalists foodies They have been in charge of preaching. They have six premises spread throughout the city where they offer homemade food, with other classics such as croquettes, sandwiches or macaroni.

Sample
The new one is a restaurant very different from the rest. Pre -Columbian roots, colonial inheritance and African influences make up the original dishes (containers in the history of Latin America) that are served in this haute cuisine space that wants to explain the value of the mixture, also in gastronomy. It is a very personal proposal of the Colombian chef Santiago Sánchez Arango, who has worked in Mugaritz or Arrea, and is passionate about explaining the origins of each recipe and product of his first restaurant. Each bite goes up in a tasting menu that includes delights such as the sandwich of pig (Pig), the pork taco, the gallina (broth), the hot shrimp ceviche or the milk with rancid crumble. In addition to the most gastronomic dining room, where you can also eat à la carte, they have a welcome space where you can chop something and take a cocktail more informally (and economical). Muntaner Street, 185.
Jara
We need to include a style restaurant omakasewho are shaking their heads in the city. They are those Japanese premises where the chef works behind a bar for few diners and serves the menu, especially sushi, which he himself has devised based on the product available. They also work in this way, although there are two Chilean brothers behind the project. Jonathan Jara is the chef while Robby carries the room. Perhaps because of their origin they offer a much more daring and seasoned sushi than in more purist Japanese, where the fish is often slightly brazied and it is not uncommon for a little caviar. Customers sit on a square bar, where about 12 people fit, and two Sushiman are the ones who serve the nigiris at the moment. Just arriving, they teach customers the genre that is well placed in a wooden box with glass lid. They finish the menu with a Catalan cream that has a touch of Yuzu. Padua Street, 108. OMAKase menu price: 95 euros
Rocket
It is for those who want to have fun. It is a restaurant, but also a cup bar or even a night club. You know when you arrive, but not when you leave. It is a new concept of the Tragaluz group that promises to captivate all our senses as the night progresses. On the street, there is a restaurant with a garden where international cuisine is offered, with dishes such as tomato tartar or the cinemic caviche. Upstairs is the Cohete Disco Bar, with a proposal of oriental dishes such as Dim Sum or Nigiris. And on the ground floor is the G Spot, a club to end dancing until dawn at the rhythm of Techno and House. Ideal for nostalgia of the 1990’s and two thousand. Avinguda Diagonal, 593.
Vera coffee
Since discovering specialty coffee shops has become a specialty, it is worth redundancy, which I practice when I turn around Barcelona, I like to include in these recommendations somewhere to have a good coffee. I must say that at most I accompany you with a croissant or a chocolate bread (all this of the brunch I do not go much) and I recently discovered, a small, cute local hidden in an alley that is difficult to find between Sant Pere Més Alt and Sant Pere Mitjà, which, in fact, has been open for a year. Milk coffee is well served and is from Hidden Coffe, at a moderate price. If you frequent these places you will immediately realize that it is very reasonable to consider the competition. Carrer d’en Morec, 6. Milk coffee: 2.30 euros
