Personal Favorites from a Local Guide

Ester is a Barcelona native and grew up cooking with her mother and grandmother. Their love of local traditions and ingredients laid the basis of her deep knowledge of Catalan cuisine.

Lluerna | Menu | Location
Traditional Catalan cuisine

“You'll have to use the metro system to get there. It's safe and it's fast, and from the station where you exit, it's a five minute walk. When you arrive, you'll have fair prices, a nice atmosphere, and a small number of people. It's not a huge restaurant, it's feels like a private experience run by husband and wife. The husband is the chef, his wife is a sommelier. They have options for vegetarians and vegans, and everything is farm to table local. It's really great to discover everything seasonal we have nearby.”

Terraza Miramar | Menu | Location
Mediterranean cuisine with stunning views

“This is an excellent place to eat seafood, they prepare amazing rice dishes as well. But there are options as well for people who enjoy other things, like Mediterranean cuisine, salads, maybe some meat. It's great for everybody. I like to go for lunch; the location is amazing because it gives you views of the marina of the port.”
