Batea
We had done some shopping on Pg. de Gràcia and before we headed back to our AirBnB, I scouted out a some lunch options that were close by. We dropped into Batea without a reservation and fortunately there were only a few tables seated. Batea specializes in seafood, so that’s what we ordered. Trisha is

Cal Pep
The was our first evening in Barcelona. We each had recommendations from various acquaintances, but I did steer us to try El Xampanyet based on a neighbor’s recommendation and reviews I had read. We had a nice walk there and arrived 30 minutes after their opening which was a big mistake. The place was full

Patisseria Sahara
We were walking back from Cal Pep and spotted this plate with an impressive array of sweets, so we had to stop in and buy some. We ordered quite a good variety of them. We ordered various items pistachio, honey, dates, etc. When we did get back to the AirBnB we were too tired and

At intermission, we rushed up to the bar

Pavyllon London
Trisha had been wanting to try this place for late breakfast and we were game. I made a reservation at the counter (we always like to see the cooking action) and seats at the corner so the 3 of us could all speak to each other more easily. It was nice that they had perfectly

Bao
This was a recommendation from my coworker (I think she went to the Soho location though which is the one listed in the Michelin Guide). We waited for them to open which was good because it did end up filling up fairly quickly (was packed by the time we left). They had a special called

Santa Nata
One of my coworkers had recommended this place and we stumbled onto it while we were wandering around Borough Market. These custards much more creamy and not quite as eggy and I absolutely loved them. https://santanata.com/
