The Best Pizza in Barcelona | Pizzeria NAP

Mamma mia, this is the best pizzeria in Barcelona!

pizza in barcelona

Yesterday I went with some friend to eat pizza in Barcelona, after an amazing  day in Montserrat. We were sitting on the bus, on the way back, tired and sleepy, and started to dream about pizza, like Homer Simpson. Mmmm pizza…

I’m Italian and rarely go to a pizzeria in Barcelona because most restaurants serve just an imitation of the authentic Italian pizza. I remembered many friends recommending this place, I was still skepical (cause they’re not Italians!)  but decided to go anyway.

Wanna know how it was?

The best. Simply the best pizza in Barcelona I have ever had!

pizza in barcelona

The staff is Italian, the menu is really Italian, prices are Italian too.

The ingredients are premium quality, especially (Her Majesty) Mozzarella di Bufala, the original and only one. And the attention to detail is “tipica napoletana”. Go and see with your own eyes: look at them cooking with the concentration and the engagement of a painter, or a pianist. It’s amazing!

Everything on the menu is really typical Italian food, from the starters to Limoncello. Take a look below:

Pizza Margherita for 4€, Melanzane alla Parmigiana (you must try!), Tiramisu for 3€, Limoncello & Caffè Espresso for 1€…

Close your eyes and you are on the Amalfi Coast…

Gay Cafes in Barcelona

Barcelona Gay Cafes

gay cafes in barcelona

In continuation of our gay series ‘Barcelona: Behind the Rear,’ this week’s topic will be about Gay Cafes in Barcelona and how to find one. If you read our earlier post in the series, the next statement won’t come as a surprise by now: there aren’t any particular ‘gay’ cafes per se – we know, we know – by now you are probably wondering how the hell Barcelona has managed to snatch the prestigious title of ‘most gay-friendly city.’

Just hear us out for a second and you’ll understand where the Spaniards are coming from – at least the gay ones.

The Barcelona gay scene target market segment are tourists and locals who prefers a wilder night out, here is where they make most of their profits and that’s why most of the places found in the city are discotheques, bars, etc.

This doesn’t mean there aren’t any places where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in a tranquil gay atmosphere because most of these bars are transformed during the day into coffeeshops – not many but some – so everything is not lost. So we’ll discuss the best places you can find a nice, warm cup of coffee to sooth that hangover from the previous night.

1. Cafe San Telmo

Barcelona Gay Cafes

We start off our list with Cafe San Telmo, a cafe/restaurant located along Carrer de Casanova near the Avinguda Diagonal. It is not particularly a Gay Cafe but a large number of the clientele are gay. You can go there in the morning and enjoy your coffee out on their open air terrace or in the early evening where you can ponder the evening ahead in a low-key place – after all, the key bars and clubs are just on the other side of the Avinguda Diagonal.

Cafe San Telmo is one of those places that (because of their narrow bar) has an appealingly busy feel, with big windows that reveals the crowds and traffic of nearby Avinguda Diagonal.

We would definitely recommend this locale for a coffee or a beer because its atmosphere is  friendly and familiar. These traits are the reasons why Cafe San Telmo made it on our list of gay cafes in Barcelona.

2. Libreria Antinous

Barcelona Gay Cafes

Antinous makes our list once again but this time as a Gay Cafes in Barcelona rather than a gay bookstore (which is better known for). This, to our opinion, is the closest to a gay coffeeshop than any of the other.

Like we mentioned in our ‘Gay Bookstores in Barcelona’ article earlier this month, Antinous is both a bookshop and a coffeeshop for gay men and women, it is a perfect spot for browsing the latest in gay leterature, enjoying a great cup of coffee and learning more about community events and organized gatherings. Even if you don’t buy any of their books, you can still go and get a hit of that needed caffeine.

As you can see from our article, there are very few Gay Cafes in Barcelona one can go to during the morning or afternoon but of course, one shouldn’t limit themselves to these bars. Barcelona has an array of coffeeshops that are worth the visits. So what do you prefer? Your coffee in the mornings or evenings? Let us know.

The Best Cafe in Barcelona: Undiscovered Glory

Where to Find The Best Cafe in Barcelona that Nobody Knows About!

 

cafe in barcelona

It’s possible to find a cafe in Barcelona on almost every corner of every street, but for the most part you’ll find a lot of stale and unimpressive blends. So, dear SuiteLifers, we want to tell you about the best coffee shop in the city that we can guarantee none of your friends will know about. On the outskirts of the farrrrrrrr right of the Eixample there is this cafe in Barcelona called ‘’La Queixalada d’en Marcelino’’, which is located in the neighborhood of ‘’El Camp de L’arpa del Clot’’ (Metro L5 “Camp de Arpa”) where you can get the most eccentric, beautiful, and most importantly delicious Spanish coffee in BarcelonaFor coffee fans/snobs/connoisseurs, you MUST visit this diamond in the rough to have a Spanish coffee like you have never tasted in your life.

What Makes This Particular Cafe in Barcelona so Special?

I can promise you this, you’ll have your answer once you have visited the place and had a little chat with Pere who is the owner of this cafe in Barcelona.

Spanish coffee
When I first met him, I was amazed how quickly and passionately he was preparing a wide array of Spanish coffee drinks. I mean, he literally has coffee in his veins. I think it’s all he thinks about from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed. Coffee bleeds out of this man’s pours and upon entering the cafe it’s immediately apparent how passionate he and his staff are. Pere believes that everyone deserves a truly great coffee experience. He is also an ardent educator, running weekend classes for people who want to make great coffee in the comfort of their own homes. I tried this coffee called ‘’café Barcelona’’, an invention so tasty it helped him become the Baristas Champion of Cataluña in 2006. He also has a record for making 50 cups of coffee in just 5 minutes and I’m talking about good coffee here.

Why is the Cafe Located Outside the Center of Barcelona?

Cafe Barcelona

When asked if he had ever considered relocating his cafe to a more posh area of the city, such as Paseo de Gracia or Sarria, where he could almost certainly charge three times his prices, he told me that it’s all about tradition.  His grandparents started making coffee in 1929 with obsession for detail and demand for the best coffee beans from Colombia and Africa at the very same location. This is why he wants to keep the family tradition alive by focusing on the family passion for perfection to offer the best coffee in Barcelona. We still think he’d rake it in if her were more centrally located, but the snob in us likes knowing about the off-the-beaten-track cafe in Barcelona that only those ‘in the know’ know about.

Cafe in Barcelona

Get Your Coffee Now!

For people who want more than just coffee made by a waiter putting a capsule into a machine and pushing a button, this cafe in Barcelona is an ideal place to sit down and enjoy a Spanish coffee that is truly a work of art both asthetically and in your mouth.

Don’t forget, the staff is very friendly, welcoming and always open for a nice conversation which makes you feel right at home.

Check the place out! We promise you’ll thank us later! Do you know of any truly special coffee experiences in Barcelona? If so, we’d love to here about them in the comments!

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #7 TEMAKI-YA

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #7 TEMAKI-YA

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #7 TEMAKI-YA

 

That Barcelona is full of delicious Sushi Restaurants you already know (our last update), but do you know that the fast-food version of Japanese restaurants has also landed in our city? Quick, and something you can eat with your hands, healthy and tasty-as-hell, the Temakis, as this half-japanese half-brazilian treasure is called, have came to stay!

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #7 TEMAKI-YATEMAKI?!? What is it? What the f*** has Brazil got to do with that? Ok, I’ll try to tell it quickly: A Temaki is a cone-shaped hand-rolled sushi filled with rice, salmon, tuna, vegetables, cream-cheese, avocado, or whatever else the cook might want to use to surprise you! Still can’t figure it out? Don’t lie! You already saw the pictures! But you see, it’s irresistible, isn’t it?!

 

 

 

Delicious fast-food became popular in Brazil a few years ago – after the boom of japanese restaurants – and has been growing more and more every year, gaining market ground on traditional fast-food like hamburgers and pizzas. So, after vacations in Brazil, Carmen Pereira and Gabriel Miranda , two Brazilian that has lived in Barcelona for 20 years now, saw the opportunity of bringing the concept of the Temakerias to Europe: Healthy, quick, tasty and cheap!

In the heart of Barcelona, Temaki-ya (Temaki Now) has a classic temakeria style: simple and clean, no tables – just high seats – ingredients on display, and a cozy atmosphere. For a Brazilian like me, it was like being back in Sao Paulo! I was also surprised with the variety of the menu , there are around 50 options of Temaki, and also includes others japanese specialities – don’t miss the Hot-rolls. Creativity at its best! It’s impossible not to find one you like (I bet you would eat at least 80% though).

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #7 TEMAKI-YA

So, if you’re tired of the tons of mainstream sushi restaurants Barcelona has to offer, you have to try Temaki-ya. Actually, it should be in your MUST-DO list! It’s delicious, healthy, cheap and innovative! What more could you want?

Go check it and give us your feedback! Where is it? At Calle Gignas, 28 (El Gotico), close to Plaza Sant Jaume! For more info check their website! There you find opening hours and extras!

 

Almost forgot! If you like their Facebook page, you’ll be updated with discounts and promotions! The most famous, for example, is that every Thursday, every temaki you buy,  you get the second one for only 1 euro (as you can see at the image below)! Irresistible!

Barcelona Fish and Seafood (Marisco) Restaurant La Paradeta

 

Looking for a fish and marisco (seafood) restaurant in Barcelona?

Barcelona Fish Restaurant: Cheaper, Fresher, FinerWe found a delicious and cheap seafood restaurant in Barcelona made for you: La Paradeta is the most unique Barcelona fish restaurant due to its reasonable prices, its seafood‘s freshness and its informal “fish market” atmosphere.

Barcelona fish restaurant La Paradeta has been operating for 15 years. The first one of these alternative fish and marisco restaurant chains opened on Carrer Riego, 27 in Barcelona. It was not long before the owner, coming from South of Spain, opened 4 other marisco (seafood) restaurants in different locations in Barcelona, having established the popularity of his original concept.

Ideed, La Paradeta is based on a very simple idea: people like fresh food and a fish market atmosphere. So the first thing La Paradeta‘s clients do is choose their fish and seafood directly from the market stall. I like to walk by just to see its explosion of colours enhanced by the pure white of the ice that surrounds all kinds of fish, lobsters, crabs, squids, shrimps, prawns and seashells.

As La Paradeta‘s smiling manager on Carrer Comercial explained, the owner was very much inspired by Thaïland’s fish markets where fish and seafood are caught, sold, cooked and eaten on the spot. Barcelona being a market‘s town, the mysterious Southerner decided to take advantage of this characteristic. All products are brought to the restaurants each day by La Paradeta‘s very own careful selection of general seafood and fish markets in Barcelona‘s famous port.

Barcelona Fish Restaurant: Cheaper, Fresher, Finer

Once you’ve decided what you’d like to eat (it’s not easy with so much choice!), you pay per kilo for the fish and seafood you want to eat (first reason for its cheap prices). Then you collect your cutlery, plates and drinks and chose a table while your delicacies are being cooked (you have a choice as well between several differnet and natural ways to have your food cooked). No waiter will come and harass you (in fact there are no waiters, which is the second reason for its cheap prices): you will be given a ticket with a number on it (similar to the system at In-N-Out Burgers, a famous hamburger chain that is well known in California) like at most European cheese, meat or fish markets. When you hear your number, just get up and fetch your food at the bar!

Some serious recommendations and useful tips about La Paradeta:

1) Make sure you understand numbers in Catalan or Castellano.

2) Order a few dishes at the same time in order not to wait too long between each of them. The cooking usually goes fast though.

3) Order the bread. I’m French and I know about bread. I ate, eat and will eat tons of it in my life, and believe me, La Paradeta‘s bread was a gift from heaven!

4) Order the white wine they serve there: el Vino Turbio: cheap, fresh, up-lifting, perfect after a hard day of work and with a lovely plate of marinated gambas (shrimp)!

5) La Paradeta doesn’t accept credit cards. Please come with enough cash! My friend and I paid around 20 € each for a big salad, three huge plates of marisco, a big piece of fish and a bottle of wine. I loved this dinner.

6) Come early, before the opening if you can, especially on weekends, as the place is so packed you could not fit a pin in! However, you can sometimes be lucky: when I went to La Paradeta (the one located in Pasatge Simó) for the first time, on Wednesday, the 27th January at 10pm, I did not have to wait and could find a table very easily. However, don’t court disaster!

7) La Paradeta doesn’t sell drinks alone. If you want to drink you’ll have to order a bite to eat as well.Barcelona Fish Restaurant: Cheaper, Fresher, Finer

8 ) La Paradeta is a NON-SMOKING area (rare in Barcelona, so enjoy it!).

9) Do not bring dates there, it is not a romantic restaurant but more for friends or already set-up couples. Unless your date is not a big fan of fancy crysta

l glasses and red roses in candle light and likes beer, loud noises and shouts from the kitchen and sudden bursts of laughter. Cheers!

For more info on opening hours, locations and anything else you’d like do know, check their website.

La Paradeta is simple and all about food (exactly how we like it here at SuiteLife). Do check it out: you will experience the best fish and seafood meal ever

Yours!

SUSHI ART IN BARCELONA – THE TAKEAWAY PARADISE

SUSHI ART IN BARCELONA – THE TAKEAWAY PARADISE

Sushi Art Barcelona

As you may know sushi is the most appreciated food among our team here at Suitelfe. That is why we are always on a lookout for new sushi places in Barcelona which we can include in our free e-book! Surprisingly, the latest hot spot where I can satisfy my sushi hunger is right around the corner from my place in Raval. Sushi Art takes the takeaway experience to a whole new level!

I haven’t seen much sushi places in that part of Barcelona. Especially places worth checking out, such as Sushi Art. Until lasushi art barcelonast week the place was somehow under my radar until last Wednesday when finally I laid my eyes on the interesting and glowing sign of Sushi art. My sushi experience started with the opening of the automatic door which revealed the interesting interior design of the place. I was greeted kindly by the owner Vincent (if I can recall correctly) who seemed was the only employee of the place and he was doing hell of a job!

 

 

 

As I mentioned before the interior design of Sushi Art Barcelona, in my opinion, is top-notch and it creates a very warm and welcoming environment! sushi art barcelonaVincent displays most of the sushies behind a glass where you can selec your choice or ask for fresh-made. What is more is that you can observe the process of making the sushi because there is a small glass in between the kitchen and the waiting hall. What makes the place different? Sushi art also offers various DO-IT-YOURSELF sushi kits which can be the perfect gift for your friends. The biggest sushi lovers have the opportunity to make their own sushi on the spot supervised the by chef!

 

 

Are you already craving for some delicious fresh sushi here in Barcelona? Go down to Raval and check out Sushi Art! The address is Carrer d’En Giralt El Pellisser, 24! For more information and their menu – visit their webpage!

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA BAR

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA

C/ Ginebra 12, 08003 Barcelona

Mon – Sun 9:00 – 00:00

(+34) 93 268 3265

Last week I wrote about the free walking tour and actually I only found out about Jai-Ca via the guide, Duncan! (So thanks for the recommendation!)

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA

Jai-ca is a traditional Barcelona tapas bar in Barceloneta, known for serving great seafood! So following the recommendation by Duncan after the free walking tour, some of the group stayed together to have some tapas and carry on enjoying each others company!

As the walking  tour finished in Barceloneta, we were already at the right location. After getting some directions from the friendly locals we were off to Carrer Ginebra. We arrived at about 7pm and a good thing too, as we were able to get a table inside. The tables outside Jai-ca were already full!

 

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA

 

 

 

 

The Jai-ca tapa bar in Barcelona has a very traditional Barcelona feel about it! It has old wine barrels above the bar, a black and white checked floor, old advertising posters hanging on the walls, traditional tile topped tables and of course, FC Barcelona posters!!

 

 

 

 

Things are slightly different at Jai-ca! They don’t actually have a menu! HoweverBARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA all the tapas is out on display, so you just have to go up to the bar, have a look and decide how much of everything you want!!  But don’t worry the staff are really nice and our waitress, Nezha was able to explain what everything was! They had a variety of tapas including the classic patatas bravas (which I love!), bombas, campiones (mushrooms), gambas (prawns), boquerones en vinagre (anchovies in vinegar), polpo (Octopus),  calamarcets (calamari), pescaito frito (fried fish), ensaladilla rusa (Russian salad) etc, the list goes on!! All washed down with Damn beer and two large jugs of strong Sangria!!!

For our group of 10 people, we spent €10 each, which I thought was a good price to eat and drink, especially when you consider a lot of places have high drinks prices.

 

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CA

 

BARCELONA TAPAS BAR: JAI-CAIt was a truly enjoyable evening that started out with a great free tour and finished in lovely company, great tapas and good service from our waitress Nezha! Here she is making our super strong Sangria! Thanks Nezha!

 

Thanks Jai-ca! See you soon.

 

Have you guys been there yet? Drop us a line and let us know how your evening was!

Barcelona Brunch: A View You Cannot Resist

barcelona brunchBARCELONA BRUNCH: A VIEW YOU CANNOT RESIST

 

 

 

 

Barcelona brunchBarcelona Brunch combines most of my favorite Sunday activities – a killer view of Barcelona from above, enjoying all-you-can-eat delicious food, chillout music and fresh cocktails. Oh, pardon me, how could I forget – and all that in a pool located on the 11th floor of a quite futuristic-looking hotel. Yeah, it does sound tempting, right?

The Barcelona Brunch, offered by hotel Barcelo happens every Sunday and is one of the best ways to spend your afternoon, especially if you are not a tourist and rushing around to check out the usual spots around the city. Besides, let’s be honest – a lot of places are actually closed on that day, so is there a better way to relax after a long week?

 

barcelona brunchAs you can see in the link, the price of the brunch is 25 euros. I won’t comment whether that’s a lot or not, after all it depends on your budget, but what can I say from my personal experience is that its totally worth it. The brunch itself starts at 12:00 and there’s enormous variety of food which would satisfy even the most picky ones. The personnel is very friendly and positive and there’s a DJ spinning tunes in perfect synchron with the ambient environment you can see on your right. Ahh, and don’t get fooled by the fancy look, being dressed-up is not necessarily at all. After all, the brunch is all about being comfortable.

 

 

After being properly fed, you can head to the 11th floor of the hotel where you can enjoy the amazing view of Barcelona with a cocktail (all for free) in your hand. For those of you, interested in photography, the place offers very interesting angles of the city. As I mentioned, there’s a pool on the 360º terrace of the hotel. Don’t expect olympic size, but its good enough to make you feel you are in paradise!

 

barcelona brunch

To quickly sum up, this place has everything to offer for a proper Sunday. It costs 25 euros, it is every Sunday and the hotel is located in the Raval neighbourhood. Check out the flyer. Do you like how this sound? Don’t hesitate and go charge your batteries for the next week.

 

Hasta luego,

Ivo

 

 

 

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #6 SUSHIBO

SUSHI BARCELONA: THE MOST RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS #6 SUSHIBO

 

Sushi Barcelona Craving for sushi in Barcelona? The “SushiBo” restaurant is the perfect place to eat when you’re feeling a little Japanese. For example,  do you ever have moments when there’s nothing more in the world you would rather eat but sushi? Well look no further! Besides being a great place to eat-in, SushiBo also specializes in take-out/delivery services, catering, and selling its own sushi/japanese products.

With quality sushi and other food at a very reasonable price, this restaurant is an absolute MUST go to for eating japanese. So how do we know that SushiBo is so delicious and awesome? SuiteLife sent its own representatives to try it out!

 

PRE-ARRIVAL AND BASIC RESTAURANT INFORMATION

sushi barcelona sushi bo mapBefore arriving to taste the food at SushiBo, we did a little research on the restaurant first. SushiBo’s main restaurant is located at: Ronda del General Mitre, 220 – 08006 Barcelona. One can arrive at this restaurant by taking the L3 metro line to ‘Lesseps.’

The sushi restaurant is open EVERYDAY (12:00-16:00 and 19:00-22:00). On Fridays and Saturdays, the restaurant is open one more hour at night till 23:00.

Delivery is accessible from 13:00-16:00 and 20:00-23:00. It is also important to know that in order to get delivery, your order must cost at least 30 euros. For more info – just check out their website.

THE RESTAURANT ITSELF

So our quest of the series “Sushi Barcelona” began – as we said, our next stop was SushiBo – a cute little paradise in Sant Gervasi, very easily accessible by the greenSushi Barcelona metro line.

The restaurant itself is not very big but its very cozy which makes it perfect for a date, a business meeting or for an occasion when you want to meet a few friends and enjoy a quality conversation over healthy and tasty food. It does incorporate some elements of the typical Japanese culture and it has this very chilled vibe so we felt quite comfortable for the hour and a half we spent there.

THE FOOD

Sushi BarcelonaIn order to get the best and varied experience, we got both the meat and vegetarian ‘menús del día” and some “Iki” beers. Included in the ‘menús del día’ were an appetizer, two dishes, and a dessert.

May we say, we were blown away! For appetizers, we shared delicious sushi (maki) and jiaozi (gyozas) which are dumplings filled with ground meat and vegetables. For our first round of plates, we received a Japanese tortilla with edamame (soybeans) and mushrooms AND sopa de miso. The Japanese tortilla was very well complimented with a sweet and salty sauce, and the soybeans and mushrooms were also excellent additions.

Second, round was chicken with rice AND yakisoba (noodles). The cook hit the spot with some steamy rice and tasty-breaded chicken.Sushi barcelona

Finally, for dessert we had chocolate mochi (Japanese rice cake). The rice cake came out us already warm and filled with chocolate.

The beers too, called “Iki Beer” were perfect for the hot weather in Barcelona. They were made with green tea and yuzu fruit to give it a citrusy taste. Needless to say, the lunch was incredible. What further surprised me was how extensive the menu was. Give a look of their menu.

 

AFTER THE LUNCH

Sushi BarcelonaAfter we finished our delicious lunch we decided to check on the shelf which is located on the other side of the bar so we started talking to the owner and some of the stuff, who were extremely friendly. What’s cool about SushiBo is that they offer various products besides the restaurant services – I spotted pretty awesome tool kit for making sushi and all the necessary ingredients one needs to try that art. Moreover, they told us they deliver 7 days a week within Barcelona and offer catering services which is pretty awesome.

FINAL WORDS

Sushi BarcelonaFrankly said, we loved the place – the atmosphere, the food, the nice conversation and…the few hours out of the office! Sushi Bo will definitely end up in our sushi e-book. We hope the “Sushi in Barcelona” adventure never stops!

If you are interested in buying some food from grocery section of the restaurant, you can also buy some of their products from their new store! The address of their second location (which doesn’t have a restaurant) is: Carrer de Villarroel, 204 – 08036 Barcelona. This second location is only open Tuesday – Saturday from 12:00-19:00.

Feeling like eating some sushi yet? Check out SushiBo and let us know what you think! And just in case you are not the sushi type of person – just stop by the “Food” section of our blog!
