Beautiful Day in Barcelona
Saturday, October 30th, 2010Having just returned from cold cold England – totally digging the Barcelona weather today… Autumn Sun…
In fact I’m currently listening to the “Knee Deep Mix” of “Everybody loves the sunshine” which I bought just this afternoon at Discos Juando which is right near the Mercat Santa Catarina in Barcelona for 2€. Bargain!
Yanil and I had lunch at Bar del Pla with Xavi and Michelle. A great little restaurant. Not quite enough staff for a Saturday afternoon but hey – we weren´t in a hurry… The croquetas de ceps & foie (Croquets with Seasonal mushrooms and Foie Gras) which weren’t advertised but which the waiter recommended were absolutely out of this world. I also quite digged the local beer – called Almogaver (Warrior) Beer – 5 years in Barcelona and this is the first time I’ve tried this Barcelona based beer! Worth the wait!

Ugarit Amrit
Monday, October 18th, 2010Excellent Syrian food. Inexpensive. Tasty. We had a dish with houmous, yoghurt and sour cream, with salad and pita bread filled with cheese and a house salad of tomato and cucember in a lemony dressing plus a couple of beers. The service was quick. Hit the spot!
Ugarit has a chain of restaurants in Barcelona, I’ve been to the one in the Icaria shopping mall and the one on Calle Comercio before now and they were just as good. Only today I realised that they were a chain.

Bopan
Monday, October 18th, 2010We popped into Bopan for lunch on Saturday. Yanil had been a number of times before and thought it was good but this time we were both disappointed. The food was pretty average. We had a homemade burger served with a sloppy red pepper and some salad, a vichyssoise which was luke warm initially and didn’t taste that good even when properly heated and a quiche lorraine which was alright. As it had been good on other occasions we might give it another chance perhaps…
The name translates to “good bread” and it’s true… we bought some breads and pastries while we were there and had them for breakfast this morning – they were superb.

Casa Mari y Rufo
Sunday, October 17th, 2010Casa Mari y Rufo is one of our favorite restaurants in Barcelona. It’s family run and the food is superb. It’s one for occasional visits both for the waistline and for the wallet: the food, wine and cocktails are all sooooo good that we never pop-in for a light meal – it´s always the full on gourmet experience.
On Saturday evening with friends we had forest mushrooms served with a fried egg, mussels, oysters, spanish ham, tomato bread, sirloin steak with foie gras, andalucian style squid and monkfish. Red wine, beer, gin and tonics and a pudding that I can’t easily describe – little rolls filled with cream…
If you´re lucky enough to be there towards the end of the night, the gin and tonics are a spectacle not to be missed.

Restaurant Vell Poblenou
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Ate hear with a friend of mine for lunch on Tuesday – pretty good and excellent value at €9 for a menu del dia.
The “spicy” spaghetti first course was a bit excessively garlicy but the homemade burger was really good.
