TRIED & TESTED: TARANNÁ BARCELONA

February 27th, 2012

Most striking feature:

First you’ll recognise the beautiful green decor from the outside, complete with a vintage lamp above the door and plants attached to the other doors. One step inside and you will immediately feel in love with the atmosphere and their decor. A brick wall on one end, Parisian metrotiles on the other. Old school chairs mix well with the modern tables. There’s one large Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: EL JAPONES @22 BARCELONA

January 10th, 2012

Most striking feature:

The kitchen. Perfection. You see the Japanese chefs standing in a window marked by thick red poles – topped of by old pallets. Ofcourse everyone will rave about their sublime sushi and other Japanese dishes (and yes, it tasted delicious), but the interior is what makes this restaurant so special. El Japones @22 is located at Poble Nou – an area somewhat Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: NORDIC THINK BARCELONA

January 9th, 2012

Most striking feature:

Scandinavian design in Barcelona, yes! In Barcelona you’ll find a lot of vintage interior store, but no one is really dedicated to the Nordic design we all love so much. Think: Muuto, Ferm Living etc. Late 2011 Nordic Think opened it’s doors on Consell de Cent (somewhat out the center). You will find interior items in here, but also Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: DOLC I SALAT BARCELONA

January 8th, 2012

Most striking feature:

A relaxed hang out for a Menu del Dia. It’s located in el Born – nearby the Mercat de Santa Caterina. Opened in september it reminded me of Picknick in Rotterdam. A nonchalant interior, maybe a bit messy, but with a Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: TALLER DE PASTA BARCELONA

January 7th, 2012

Most striking feature:

In here you can buy the best pasta in town – according to the enthusiastic girl that was making the pasta in front of my eyes. Taller de Pasta is a sort of pasta take-away. The pasta comes in cool boxes you can bring home – or eat there, but there are only two chairs. There are two Read more…

TRIED & TESTED: CAFE EMMA BARCELONA

January 7th, 2012

Most striking feature:

Their terrace with a hanging garden. A small one, but still. Love it. The heated terrace is a perfect place to drink an espresso before hitting the Passeig de Gracia. Because it isn’t located on that huge street, you won’t find tourists in here. The design of the business cards, menu and Read more…
