BARCELONA 6 nights (??)

Regional Dining Discussions Italy, Spain, Portugal

My trip is months away and I’m already overwhelmed by the restaurant choices.
All I need right now is to know if there are any restaurants I need to book more than a month or two short of my arrival in the city, which will be in early March. I’m not looking for any 2- or 3-star Michelins. Prefer a la carte to tasting menus.

I have not been to the city since about 2015. Back then, I really liked CAL PEP and PA COMER ALGO, as well as QUIM. I’ll be single so bar seating is great. I know it’s early, but good to hear your favorites, and any comments about new places, too.

Is BOQUERIA too much of a scene to even attempt to get a seat at QUIM?

Taberna Noroeste. It’s a tasting but a short one. Galicia-Asturias focused. Almost entirely fish and seafood.

We loved El Xampanyet so much we went back the following night. They make their own cava. Great atmosphere, too. Lots of locals.

Quimet y Quimet was also not bad, but we liked the other one better.
