Best coffee!

Tropical cocktails

Simple and charming, Bacaro is an authentic Venetian tavern located near the rear of the Mercat de la Boqueria, where its owners buy daily the freshest products to create an excellent menu featuring always homemade pasta and fish dishes. Definitely a great alternative to enjoy non-commercial Italian cuisine.

Stumbled upon this beauty of garden while walking in the neighbourhood. The setting was perfect for reading, journaling or just being. Very therapeutic.

All Espai Joliu-lovers rejoice! Very recently a second location called Orval has opened, and it’s only 10 minutes away from its big sister. Just above Ciutadella park, just like its predecessor does. It has plenty of natural light that comes in through the large windows. Another added benefit with the new location is that it consists of two floors instead of just one as in Espai Joliu. Both cafes have their unique charm: Espai Joliu has that rugged, Berlin-inspired atmosphere, and Orval an added modern touch. The concept of plants and coffee remains consistent here, with a similar drink menu (with many options, and great specialty coffee) and beautiful plants for sale. You will also find an array of magazines and guidebooks. The staff deserves an added mention, such a friendly bunch!
