This place is a real Japanese restaurant (most of the "Japanese" restaurants in Barcelona are actually Chinese), and although they say it's for Japanese tapas, I eat until I'm full when I go there.

A good, cheap place for standard Catalan fare at lunchtime, although they always have a few Indian options thrown in for good measure!

An absolute must, unless you don't eat sugar. Come here for thick Spanish chocolate, drunk with a spoon, and accompanied by the Castillian churros, the Catalan melindros or the Majorcan ensaïmada.

A traditional municipal market, although since it's being renovated, it's not where this map says, but rather right at the intersection of our street with Ronda Sant Antoni.

Everything Else

If you've never tried Horchata ("orxata" in Catalan) you must go to this place. I could drink the stuff by the liter. The ice cream is excellent as well. Try "turró" flavour!
