Poble Sec and Sant Antoni offer a close look at local Barcelona life, with narrow streets, old theaters like El Molino and a pace shaped by residents rather than tourists. As you walk, you’ll hear how these neighborhoods developed, how outdoor social culture like terracear became part of daily life and why this area still feels grounded even as it slowly changes.
The tastings reflect that same local rhythm. At each stop, you’ll try a variety of small dishes, from Cádiz-style tavern bites such as fried fish or cured tuna to seasonal platillos prepared in a tiny chef-run kitchen that opens only a few nights a week. The evening ends with a couple of nostalgic desserts paired with cava. Each stop offers a different mix, depending on the day and the group’s preferences.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet on the corner of Avinguda del Paral·lel and Ronda de Sant Pau. Your guide will be waiting for you and wearing a purple Eating Europe bag, at the small, old fountain on the pavement of that corner, just in front of a bank ATM (BBVA).

Discover this young, vibrant energy, where snagging a table can feel like an accomplishment in itself. It’s the perfect place to practice the art of "terracear": claiming a spot on a terrace and guarding it fiercely while you sip and snack at an unhurried pace, soaking in the lively atmosphere.

Named after a famous flamenco singer, this isn’t quite a restaurant but a true southern-style tavern — no chairs, just stools, and plenty of character. Everything comes from Cádiz, the owner’s hometown, where she gets wines directly from small producers. Both the wines and the dishes are nearly impossible to find elsewhere in Barcelona — consider it a shortcut to Cádiz. Expect honest, no-frills cooking, with tastings like artichokes with mojama, pescaíto frito, pork stew sandwiches, or crispy chicharrón.

At this stop, they serve high-quality platillos — small dishes with just a hint of fusion to make them exciting. Every dish is delicious, but their patatas bravas are truly unforgettable. We'll try some, along with some DIY bread with tomato, Middle Eastern-style carrots, barbecued Iberian pork, oxtail stew, meat-filled cannelloni, or seasonal vegetable dishes.

The square got its name from the original fountain, which was later moved to Montjuïc and replaced by a copy of the Canaletes fountain. It’s home to Poble Sec’s active civic center and a perfect spot for families relaxing over drinks while kids play, embodying the laid-back, healthy Mediterranean-village lifestyle right in the heart of the city.

This spot pays homage to the late ’90s and early 2000s, when Macaulay Culkin partied in Barcelona before it was trendy. The quirky décor and memorabilia capture that era, but the real star is the desserts — don’t miss the torrija or chocolate mousse with salt and olive oil, best enjoyed with a glass of cava.
