Gracia is my favorite neighborhood, I lived here for 12 years and it is truly something special. It feels like a little village with it's many pedestrian, tree-lined streets. Gracia is also a neighborhood that is not in focus for many tourists, even though it is just a hop and a skip from Plaza Cataluña and the Ramblas.

Street+Art+in+Gracia,+Barcelona,+Spain — *Street Art in Gracia, Barcelona.*

During the years I have acquired quite a few favorite restaurants, bars, and shops, and I'm listing most of them here for your enjoyment.

EATING IN GRACIA

La Brillantina

A cozy hangout hidden away on a side street that offers wonderful Latin-American food, cocktails, and natural wines. The atmosphere is great and they have a cute space for groups. Read my review here.

Carrer de Bretón de los Herreros, 18.

Origo Bakery

Only organic ancient grains are used to bake tasty bread at this eco-conscious bakery. They also serve specialty coffee to go, and they have a little shop with wines, cheeses, and more. Read all about this gem of a place here.

Omu+Barcelona — *Omu, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.*

Omu

This adorable onigiri shop was love at first sight. So many delicious options, they use high-quality ingredients, the staff is very friendly, and the place is so cute. I’m addicted. Read my review here.

C/ Biada 1.

Pinullet Formatgeria Urbana

A cheese shop where they make their own cheeses, different types, with organic, raw milk. You’ll also find some nice wines and other items.

Carrer de Sant Gabriel 13.

Beryti Bistro

Visiting Beryti is like you would be welcomed like a guest in the home of Cindy and Pamela, the owners. The Lebanese food here is true comfort food, very authentic, and made with lots of love. Read my review here.

Travessera de Gracia 228.

Can Luc

Cheese you said? Get your cheese fix here, where you'll get very knowledgeable service and anything you might need to pair your cheeses with, including a list with the names of the cheese you've chosen and which order you should eat them in. You can also enjoy a cheese platter and a glass of wine here if you want. Full post here.

Carrer de Berga, 4.

Bocanariz Wine Bar

It might look small from the outside, but this wine bar holds all my favorite things. Excellent wines, delicious tapas, friendly team, and music from a vinyl record player. What more can you ask for? Oh, and they do Orange Hour from 19h to 20h where you get a free tapa with one of their many orange wines. Read my review of Bocanariz here.

Carrer de Vallfogona, 12.

Fonda Pepa

Fantastic little restaurant combining local flavors with Mexican ones. Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Gracia, and in Barcelona. It’s creative, delicious, and comforting. Read my review here.

Carrer de Tordera, 58.

La Xula Tapería

Casual and popular tapas joint open every day (evenings), and on weekends also at midday.

Carrer de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats, 18.

A wonderful natural wine bar with great atmosphere, and a short but perfect menu with a little something to eat. The patio in the back is cozy.

Carrer de Milà i Fontanals, 88.

A very popular hangout serving vegan Mexican food. Their birria tacos are fantastic, and the drinks are also nice. Read my post here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 64.

Bar El Pepino

A magnificent wine bar with an Italian flair. Their food is perfect for sharing, and they’ll bring you some true gems when it comes to wines if you ask for it. Read my review of Bar El Pepino here.

Carrer de Tordera, 33.

Shoronpo

One of the best ramen in the city is served here. They were immensely popular, but had to change location so they were shut for some time. Now they are back with a vengeance: in a much cooler spot, and their ramen is just as magical as ever. They are known for their Tantanmen, but try their soup dumplings too; they’re spectacular.

Carrer Dr. Rizal, 20.

Bar La Camila

There’s something magical about this cozy bar. You come in here, and you will not want to leave. It is fun and inviting any time of the day, and has a certain air of coolness to it, in the best of ways. Read my review here.

Carrer de Banyoles, 11.

Tangana

Perfect, delicious tapas are served in this lively bar, and good wines to pair them with. Tangana is a lovely, easy-to-approach kind of place. You can read my review here.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 19.

La Coco

An unexpected Japanese restaurant a few meters away from famous Gaudi creation Casa Vicens. Here delicious and authentic Japanese food mixes with elegant and interesting Spanish wines. This concept is solid. Read my review of La Coco here.

Carrer d'Aulèstia i Pijoan, 6.

Hitsumabushi

The chef used to work at the Tsukiji Market in Tokyo, and serves now tasty Japanese food (eel is their specialty!) in Gracia. Read my post here.

Avinguda de la Riera de Cassoles, 3.

La Rovira

Good craft beer (on tap and bottles), tapas and sandwiches at this old-school kind of bar that always attracts a crowd. They have a large terrace, and they serve my favorite vermouth. Full post here.

Carrer de Rabassa, 23.

Antunez

A restaurant with that friendly neighborhood vibe, a place to hang out with friends or family and share some good food, especially if you’re looking for tapas staples. Read my review here.

Carrer de Neptú, 18.

Oido Barcelona — *Oído, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.*

Oído

The team behind excellent Fonda Pepa (above) has opened the slightly smaller Oído, serving tapas and dishes to share, all with that familiar and delicious touch. Make sure to order the mussels, they come with a wonderful surprise. And book in advance! It’s very popular.

Providencia, 41.

Extra Bar

A tiny little bar with very good seasonal tapas, all with a bit of a twist. Good selection of wines. They don’t reservations and it fills up fast, so make sure to time your visit!

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 79.

Bodega Cal Pep

Go back 50 years or so in time in this tapas bar (not to be confused with Cal Pep in the Born!) where not much has changed lately, which makes it especially charming. Make sure you try the vermouth! Read my post here.

Carrer de Verdi, 141.

Toma Ya Street Food

Street food from around the world is served in this little place, the ceviche is particularly good, and the staff is so friendly! Read my post here.

Carrer de Nil Fabra, 34.

Bodega Quimet

This old bodega is so charming you’ll never want to leave! It gets very busy at peak times so go early. Read my review here.

Carrer de Vic, 23.

Croq & Roll

This place specializes in croquetas, doesn’t that sound intriguing? They have so many to choose from, including dessert croquetas. Full post here.

Travessera de Gràcia, 233.

Hermos Bar de Peix Barcelona — *Hermós, Bar de Peix, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.*

Hermós, Bar de Peix

Inside the Llibertat market there’s an excellent spot to eat: they have only a few seats but it is so worth it. The food options are wonderful, and the wines don’t disappoint. They’re the team behind lovely Extra Bar and La Pubilla, so you know it will be good.

Mercat de la Llibertat.

Missa Bar

Looking for a place to go for a beer with friends? And when you get hungry, maybe have a bite to eat? And maybe even bring your dog? Then Missa is for you. They have great craft beer on tap, and also great natural wines.

Carrer Jesús, 16.

Viblioteca

A restaurant where cheese is king, as the name implies! Their wine selection is very much on point. Read more here.

Carrer de Guilleries, 10.

Pompa

Already before you go inside you feel the exciting vibe. Pompa is a wine bar where music from vinyl sets the mood and you can almost hear the food calling out (and you can see it being made if you sit by the bar). With more than 600 wines, vintage plates, and open kitchen views, the food is confident and the atmosphere unpretentious yet elevated. It’s the sister establishment of amazing Berbena (below), and one of Gràcia’s most satisfying finds.

Carrer de Sèneca 25.

L'Arrosseria Xàtiva

One of my favorite places for paella and rice, they have so many to choose from. Good for those with intolerances. It’s also great for larger groups of friends or family gatherings.

Carrer del Torrent d'En Vidalet, 26.

Uncorqt, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

Uncorqt

A friendly couple runs this wine bar on a calm street in Gràcia. They have a large range of wines to choose from, and they organize wine tastings on a regular basis. IF you get hungry, they also have a list of tapas, and a lunch menu on weekdays. You can also book their tasting room for a private event, and even include a menu if you wish.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 77.

La Antigua de Mexico

Go here for quick tacos: they have one changing flavor each day and they’re pretty amazing.

Carrer de Torrijos, 50.

Kibuka

I’m a big fan of this Japanese - Brazilian fusion place. They have two restaurants and one takeaway in Gracia. Don't miss their brigadeiros for dessert.

Goya 9, Torrent de l’Olla 23 and Gran de Gràcia 153 (both takeaway).

Sabio Infante

A cosy neighborhood hangout with good breakfast options, snacks, specialty coffee, and a really cute interior. They roast their own coffee. Read more here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 39.

Pimpla Vins

Pimpla Vins is a fun, fairly bar in Gràcia, offering a large selection of local and natural wines, and a nice range of dishes to share. The vibe here is through the roof! Go early to get a table.

Carrer d l’Encarnació 21.

Syra Coffee

Many a coffee lover come here to get their caffeine fix: this is the OG spot and now they have expanded all over the city. Good matcha and chai latte. Full post here.

Carrer de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats, 8.

Santa Gula

One of my favorite restaurants in Gracia: seasonal fresh food in a very cosy atmosphere. Great for a date night! They also have a terrace on the plaza outside the restaurant. Read more here.

Plaça de Narcís Oller, 3.

SlowMov

A temple for those who appreciate specialty coffee. They have their own roastery here, and local products to buy and take home with you.

Carrer de Neptú, 36.

Matcha Crew

This awesome matcha chain has opened its second spot in Barcelona on Vila de Gràcia. Expect the same tasty matcha drinks (their menu is LONG), and something sweet, too. You can pick the strength and quality of your matcha, and you can buy matcha to make at home.

Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia, 20.

Kitsune

A very popular Japanese restaurant, excellent value for money. I love their matcha cheesecake. Carrer del Montseny, 13.

Gina Balmesina, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

Gina Balmesina

Go for world-class pizzas to Gina Balmesina, where creative pizzas and dishes (I like the Vitello Tonnato!) to share are front and center. It gets very busy, so make sure to book your table in advance.

Riera Sant Miquel, 29.

Chivuo's

A very good option if you’re looking for a great burger and a tasty craft beer from tap. I love their Patty Melt. Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 175.

Paninaro, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

Paninaro

The most amazing filled focaccias can be enjoyed here at Paninaro. You can choose to eat in, or order one to take away. The sandwiches are packed with ingredients, and they are delicious.

Carrer Seneca, 33.

The Quick Greek

Inexpensive Greek street food to go, and good authentic Greek food items to buy to take home.

Carrer d'Astúries, Plaça del Diamant, 67.

Lluritu

One of my favorite seafood restaurants, humble but oh so cool. Book a table in the back or stay by the bar for a drink and a snack.

Carrer del Torrent de les Flors, 71. They have a second location in Gràcia, Lluritu 2, close by on Carrer de la Virtut, 11, and a third one in Eixample.

Messié Sin Gluten

If you’re celiac or like to avoid gluten but have a pizza craving then look no further..! All the pizzas here are gluten-free. They also have a great selection of GF beers.

Carrer de Siracusa, 15.

Berbena

This small but mighty neighborhood restaurant is among my absolute favorite restaurants. With straightforward but sophisticated dishes with very local and seasonal ingredients, an impressive list of wines, and fascinating cheeses it will charm your pants off. It also appears in the Michelin Bib Gourmand guide. Read my review of Berbena here.

Carrer de Minerva, 6.

Kakigori

Beautiful Japanese cotton cheesecakes, onigiris, kakigori (shaved ice) desserts, and more can be enjoyed in this little shop in the heart of Gràcia.

Plaça de la Vila de Gràcia, 3.

Fukamura

Fukamura might be familiar to many, but perhaps not the major transformation it has recently undergone. It is now an omakase restaurant, where talented chef Daisuke Fukamura showcases his skills behind the counter in his namesake space.

There are only six seats in this experience, and it makes it feel truly special. Not only is the food remarkable, what’s also worth highlighting is the friendly and approachable demeanour of chef Fukamura. He makes you feel welcome and initiates conversation, which makes for a great opportunity to ask questions. Sometimes an omakase can be quite a sombre affair, but this is not the case at Fukamura. It’s highly worthwhile. Read my review here.

Carrer de Còrsega, 479.

The Madness Coffee Speciality Coffee Shop

If you love coffee, this is the place for you. They have no less than 30 kinds of coffee to choose from, depending on your preferences when it comes to aromas. The owner is the 7th generation in a coffee family.

C/ Vic 25, Local 2.

Santa Magdalena

Santa Magdalena is hidden away on a side street, so you most likely won’t stumble on this one by accident. An excellent choice for solid, Catalan food: think tortilla with butifarra de Perol, croquetas de rostit, stews, macarrons, canelons, artichokes with romesco dip, and a whole lot more. The atmosphere is buzzing, make sure to book in advance. They also do esmorzars de forquilla if you're hungry early.

Carrer de Santa Magdalena, 6.

Bemba Smash Burger

Many say it’s their favorite spot for burgers, and they are indeed delicious. It is very popular and fills up fast, so make sure to time your visit well (they don’t take reservations).

Carrer de l'Encarnació, 38.

DRINKING IN GRACIA

Mezz

Mezz is a Hi-Fi bar that feels like a living room, but with a really good audio system. Selected DJs spin vinyl, while you enjoy the great selection of natural wines, or a beer if you prefer. They also have a little something to snack on if you get hungry. Check their socials for weekly DJ and event schedules.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel 21.

Nola Cocktail Bar & Food

A very cozy cocktail bar with elaborate drinks and tasty New Orleans-inspired food. Jazz plays in the background: it is the perfect place for a date night.

Carrer de Santa Teresa, 1b, Local 1.

Bloody Mary Cocktail Lounge

Such a cozy little bar where the cocktails are made to perfection (without too much damage to your wallet). Good snacks too. They have 10 different Bloody Marys! Read my post here.

Carrer de Ferrer de Blanes, 3.

La Vermuteria del Tano

A very old school, humble kind of bar, go here for delicious vermouth and a snack.

Carrer de Joan Blanques, 17.

Oblicuo HiFi Bar

Barcelona has a listening bar, and it’s located in Gràcia, as one would expect. The sound system here is top notch, and they bring in different DJs on a weekly basis. They also serve natural wines. Read my review here.

Carrer de la Riera de Sant Miquel, 59.

Bar Salvatge

A cosy wine bar that’s all about natural wines. The atmosphere is great, and it gets packed, so go early. They offer a little something to snack on, too, and you can buy one of the many bottles on display.

Carrer de Verdi, 50.

14 de la Rosa

Cocktails, natural wines, small dishes to share and a cosy vibe in this charming and a little elegant neighborhood bar.

Carrer de Martínez de la Rosa, 14.

FoCo, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.

FoCo

The name FoCo comes from Foreign Correspondents, and not only does this cocktail bar have a charming name: the place is a lot of fun, too. The cocktails are unusual, interesting, and crafted with precision (they have a lab downstairs where all the preparations, fermentations, and concoctions are made), and it’s very difficult to choose a favorite from their list. It’s a favorite among many, and it’s easy to see why.

Carrer de l'Encarnació, 52.

El Villa Vermuteria

I absolutely adore this Almerian vermouth bar. The design is cool, the staff is friendly, and the vibes are always great. Read my review here.

Carrer de Martínez de la Rosa, 2.

Barra

Love wine? Love good vibes? Then Barra is your place. The team running it is very friendly and upbeat, and the wine options are great. They also have a solid food menu.

Ros de Olano, 4.

Casa Figari

Casa Figari is something of a temple for vinyl records, skilled DJs, and a whole lot of dancing. They organize live jazz jam sessions weekly, and strictly vinyl DJ sessions that draws people loving disco to dance to some 70s and early 80s tunes. There’s something going on every day they’re open. It’s a lot of fun, and the atmosphere is always great and inclusive.

Torrent de l’Olla, 141.

Lonely Bar Barcelona — *Lonely Bar HiFi, Barcelona. Photo © Barcelona Food Experience.*

Lonely Bar Hi-Fi

This bar is very vibey, with a young crowd that gathers to drink tasty craft cocktails and enjoy the great music. They organize DJ sessions on the regular. A perfect place to go with friends for a fun night out.

Carrer Vic, 7.

Las Vermudas

They have more than 100 (!) different vermouths, tasty snacks, live concerts, cocktail classes, and so much more fun things going on. Read my review here.

Carrer del Robí, 32.

If you love vermouth like I do, make sure to check out my guide with 17 vermouth bars in Gracia!

DESSERTS AND SWEETS IN GRACIA

Candela Canela

A shop full of cinnamon rolls, is that paradise or what? Make sure you try the dulce de leche one. They’ve got specialty coffee if you need something strong to go with your roll.

Carrer de Ros de Olano, 48.

Miel

Have a sweet tooth? Then Miel is your place. Run by Natalia, a very talented Colombian pastry chef (who originally studied architecture!) and her friend Melissa, Miel brings seasonal local ingredients, spices, and just a hint of American flair. I highly recommend the chai blondie! She also makes bespoke cakes. Read my review here.

Carrer de Sant Cristòfol, 19.

Amma Gelato

Creative vegan ice creams made with prime raw materials. The ice creams are fantastic, and very creamy. Some of them you couldn’t imagine they’re vegan! Read my review of Amma Gelato here.

Plaça de la Virreina, 3.

Lukumas

Fantastic donuts that you’ll be dreaming about long afterwards, and specialty coffee. Read my post here.

Carrer del Torrent de l'Olla, 169.

Parallelo Gelato

In this ice-cream lab anything can happen. Very exciting flavors are created here, seasonal and fun, with local ingredients. Read my review here!

Carrer de Sèneca, 18.

La Besneta

A 100% vegan bakery with gorgeous (and very delicious) cakes and sweets.

Carrer de Torrijos, 37.

Chök

Their shop in Raval has a constant queue, but this chocolate bakery is much calmer but equally as good, if not better.

Carrer d'Astúries, 93.

SHOPPING IN GRACIA

A Romance Court

This shop is absolute gold for anyone who loves to read, and especially if you are into romance or fantasy. They cover a number of subgenres, and the place itself is super cute. The owner, Micaela, is so sweet and is happy to help you find something that’s up your alley. They also arrange lots of events. C/ Monistrol 1.

Carrer Verdi

There are a few great shops on Verdi, more or less between Robí and Terol. I like the clothes shops Nana Banana and Picnic, a few hand-made jewellery shops and home goods at Fulanitu i Menganita.

Handmade jewelry

In addition to Verdi also Bonavista and the lower part of Torrent de l’Olla host several little shops with beautiful hand-made jewelry.

Gatuari

Not appropriate under shopping but it doesn't exactly fit under eating or drinking: If you are looking to adopt a cat or just want to play with one (or many), make sure you drop by Gatuari. They also organize yoga with cats and other interesting events. Read my post here. Carrer de Sant Lluís, 14.

Sense Shop

This place is packed with non-alcoholic drinks, ranging from famous Spanish brands for wine and cava, to super cool international ones for non-alcoholic liquors for mixing top-notch mocktails, craft beer, and fascinating fermented drinks. You can also do tastings here, and the team is very nice: one of them is a mixologist with many, many years of experience. Read my review of Sense Shop here.

Plaça del Sol, 1, Barcelona (Gràcia).

Carrer Bonavista

This street also has several interesting clothes shops like Mushi Mushi, a cool bar called Bar But, hand-made jewelry, and a great lifestyle shop called Be.

Plant Shops

If you’re as big of a plant lover as myself, you’ll be delighted to know that Gràcia has several plant shops that are very much worth a visit. I like Dusty Road Shop (Travessera de Gràcia 231) that specializes in succulents (the owner will tell you lots of useful information if you ask!), but also sports a range of other interesting plants. Paraiso Plants (Bonavista 25) has a large collection of ever-changing houseplants, some of them rarer than others, and you can ask for a specific plant you’re looking for. Casa Protea (Carrer de Ramón y Cajal, 124) is also a niche shop for plant collectors.

Sol de Gracia

This shop specializes in craft beer, and they’re well priced. Buy one or two (or many) and sit down on the Plaza del Sol next to the shop if weather permits (don’t tell the cops). They also have non-alcoholic drinks.

Plaça del Sol, 2.

Bridal wear

Gracia is wonderful for any bride to be: there are many small independent shops that specialize in bridal wear, like Otaduy, Érase Una Vez, L'Avetis, Khog, Grace Barcelona, Lorenapanea....
