Barcelona hotels, restaurants, bars, attractions, and other useful stuff
Salads, sandwiches, and of course wine, beer and coffee. A cut above your average sandwich joint, Cometa promises locally sourced slow food (and deliver service to match).
The sandwiches are good, however, and worth the wait.
Carrer del Parlament, 20
An Australian-themed hipster café in Parliament street, that’s not too hampered by its coolness.
Good for coffees, cakes, sandwiches, brunch (have yet to do that, but the plates look pretty darned good), and lunch. I’d say it’s a lunch spot, but the smallish rooftop terrace may well make it a winner on a warm evening as well.
The burgers are excellent, and while a kangaroo burger sounds completely out of place here, it is one of the best burgers I’ve had in Barcelona.
Apparently there are queues on the weekends. There’s another outlet in the Gothic quarter.
Carrer del Parlament, 39
You guessed it – cupcakes and coffee, plus a sandwich or two. On-trend with the design too. Not worth travelling out of your way to find, but if you happen to be in the area (home décor central here) it’s a pretty good choice. There’s an outlet in Carrer dels Tallers 79 near the university that we haven’t stumbled across yet.
Carrer d’Enric Granados, 145 (Near Diagonal)
Hole-in-the-wall take-away coffee joint (unfortunately Gustavo has lost his battle with the authorities, and no longer has any window seats – shame). The friendly service remains, and the empiñadas are hard to resist.
Carrer de Joaquín Costa, 3
