Tarragona for me whenever I want to get nostalgic

Tarragona for me whenever I want to get nostalgic about Barcelona. That and they have an inordinate amount of fantastic fish and Catalan restaurants like this one. @barquet_tarragona
In addition to these dishes - there were another 3 brown coloured plates. And though Instagram won’t reward us for it - brown is where the flavour is at.

Better late then never! Finally got to try @thelad

It’s now more expensive to park a car for 4 hour

It’s now more expensive to park a car for 4 hours in Barcelona than to have lunch - I’m calling it.
16.90€ @barbosc_ gets you three courses and a drink.

Returned to Restaurant Margarit in Poble-sec for a

Returned to Restaurant Margarit in Poble-sec for a second visit — and it was just as good, if not better.
Greek-rooted, Barcelona-based cooking that’s thoughtful, balanced, and quietly confident.

I wrote about my first visit on the blog, and this follow-up felt like a confirmation rather than a comparison.
The orzo with prawns is as rich and flavourful as I remembered.
The berenjena with yogurt and pistachio still stands out for its contrast and texture.
The flor de calabacín is delicate and well-judged.
And the tulumba — light syrup, pistachio, and saffron cream — ends things beautifully. As a non-dessert dessert person Margarit is turning out to know exactly how to balance a sweet ending.

Reliable, elegant cooking in a calm and inviting space.

Some places feel like they’ve been frozen in time—in the best way possible. 🪑🍽️

At Cal Pau Xich, it’s marble tabletops, bentwood chairs, Estrella bottles next to vintage motorbikes, and mirrors that whisper stories of another era.

The food? Honest and generous. Creamy mushroom lasagna. Chargrilled lamb chops with padron peppers. A silky flan with a dollop of cream that tastes like someone’s abuela still works the kitchen.

A proper Catalan gem that doesn’t fuss, just feeds you well.

📍Avinguda de Catalunya, BV-2127
🕰️ Come for lunch, stay for nostalgia

Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️ 📍Calle del Dr. Fourq

Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️
📍Calle del Dr. Fourquet, 33
Minimalist, confident, and just the right kind of cool. The kind of place where the coffee’s excellent, the croissants are glossy, and yes — they serve an iced coffee with olive oil.
@holacoffee

Design-led, barista-driven, and packed to the rafters with oat milk. A must if you like your coffee with a bit of bite and a lot of style.

When the meze arrives at Ali Ocakbaşı, it’s no

When the meze arrives at Ali Ocakbaşı, it’s not a starter—it’s a ceremony. Smoky aubergine, creamy yogurt, grilled meats kissed by fire, and the crispiest künefe in Barcelona.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s a full-on Anatolian experience 🇹🇷✨

@casajuliomadrid : a crimson-clad portal to proper old-school Madrid.
Tomato salad dripping in oil, oversized croquetas, garlicky chistorra with golden potatoes, a cold caña, and just enough chaos behind the bar to feel alive.
No fusion. No foam. Just flavor.

✨ Own Your Pleasure ✨
A feast for the senses curated by Erika Lust at @la_culturehouse – where art, desire, and food meet in bold, provocative beauty. From the strawberry and elderflower bites to the unapologetically decadent “Vagina Cake” by @dontpanikitsveganik, every detail was a celebration of taste, form, and freedom.
