Eating out in Barcelona

- Anine -

Okay, jeg ville have lavet det her indlæg lige efter jeg kom hjem fra Barcelona... Men altså bedre sent end aldrig ;) Her kommer to tips til restauranter i Barcelona :)

Okay, I wanted to make this post right after I got back from Barcelona... But oh well, better late than never ;) Here are two tips to restaurants in Barcelona :)

I. RA

C/ del Carme, 31 (Passatge 1.800) - Barcelona

Super hyggelig restaurant tæt på La Rambla - men stadig langt nok væk fra turisthelvede! Restauranten lå lidt "hemmeligt" inde i en, hvad der lignede, en gammel lagerbygning. Vi kom omkring kl. 19, men i Barcelona (og resten af Spanien) holdes der jo siesta, og derfor spiser folk meget sent, så der var ikke et øje ;) Men vi blev enige om, at det helt sikkert nok skulle være et livligt sted ved 21 tiden ;). Menukortet bød på lækre mexicanske retter, og vi fik nogle skønne tortillas - mmmm ;b 

Restaurantens hjemmeside er www.ratown.com, og her finder du bl.a. menukortet. Hvis du er i nærheden af La Rambla, men ikke gider mænge dig med turister og irriterende gadesælgere, så smut forbi!

What a nice restaurant! It's close to La Rambla - but far enough from the tourist hell! The restaurant was situated a bit "secret" in what looked like an old ware house. We came around 7 pm, but in Barcelona (and the rest of Spain) they have the siesta and that means that they eat quite late. So we were the only guests there ;) But we agreed that the restaurant without doubt would be filled with people around 9 pm ;). There were lots of delicious mexican dishes on the menu, and we had some awesome tortillas - mmmm ;b

The website of the restaurant is www.ratown.com and here you'll find the menu. If you're near La Rambla but you don't want to "hang out" with all the tourists and annoying street vendors then you should def visit!

II. Orio

 Ferran 38 08002 Barcelona

Lækker tapasrestaurant! 

Vi havde en del dårlige tapas-oplevelser... To gange fik vi serveret noget ret suspekt (vi fik os dog trods alt en god griner ;D). Men den sidste aften i Barcelona fandt vi Orio, som bød på tapas-buffet, så her kunne vi selv vælge vores tapas. Det smagte guddommeligt! Der var også bare rigtig god stemning. Som man kan se på billedet sad vi ved lange barborde, så man kom da hinanden ved ;) Der sad to ældre kvinder ved siden af os (den ene sidder med viften på billedet), og de drak champagne og spiste østers, og havde en fest! Så fedt ;D Kunne nu godt vænne mig til det midnatsmåltid :) En god måde at starte en night out ud på. Det var i hvert fald en god afslutning på vores tur :)

Hjemmesiden er www.oriogastronomiavasca.com... Orio lå i Barri Gótic (det Gotiske kvarter), og dermed også tæt på vores hotel... Mere om det i et senere indlæg ;)

Really nice tapas restaurant! 

We had quite a few bad tapas experiences... We were served with some not-so-nice looking dishes twice (but we did have a laugh about it ;D). The last night though we found Orio which had a tapas buffet, so we could choose our tapas ourselves. It tasted divine! And the place had such a cool vibe and atmosphere. As you can see in the picture we were seated at these long bar tables, so we got "close" to people ;) There were two older women next to us (one of them is in the picture - the one with the fan), and they had champagne and oysters and had a party! So cool ;D I could get used to this midnight meal :) A good way to start a night out. It was def a good way to end our trip :)

The website is www.oriogastronomiavasca.com... You can find Orio in Barri Gótic (The Gothic Quarter) which was close to our hotel... More about that in a later post ;)
