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!

Their Sardo dish is so good! It’s a dish you’ll never find anywhere else, because they made it up!! How cool is that?? The space inside is very small and cozy. The staff are so sweet 🥹. I went there few times and tried different teas every time. I was never disappointed. And staff are sweet, and remembered me whenever I came back <3 Might be difficult to find a table on a weekend night.

"Fundació Joan Miró" it's my favorite museum in Barcelona. They do beautiful & interesting exhibitions, but what really mesmerizes me is their architecture by Josep Lluís Sert. It's located at Montjuic mountain but very close to city center, so you can breathe clean air and enjoy art master pieces. The shop and bookstore it's also a place where I can spend many hours.

The couch area near the fireplace is probably the best one in the restaurant. Amazing for long talks and good breakfast.
