of James Bond's coolest ladies And it's not a gratuitous concession to the king of the cocktail because when you enter the premises you'll feel like you're stepping into one of the sumptuous and elegant bars where Bond himself might order a martini before seducing a dozen girls and killing a dozen terrorists Solange is run by the Pernías, a family of mixologists who are already well-known for their Tandem Cocktail Bar Their newer venture is a a delightful golden space where you wouldn't find it strange to see Scaramanga drinking an Old Fashioned or Vesper Lynd winking at the bartender liquid gold and exquisite decorating taste are the ingredients that go into making this such a superb cocktail bar The Pernías have stuck with the classics when it comes to their concoctions: no modern ornaments no exotic flowers sticking out of your glass to poke your eye out why change a back-to-the-basics approach that has kept Bond types coming to their establishments for years DelaCrem is an artisan ice cream parlour with its own philosophy: they create each of their ice creams following strict artisan standards The fundamental pillars are daily production and the meticulous selection of ingredients to guarantee the highest quality of the final product owner Massimo Pignata and his team show pure passion for making their ice cream by hand so that all flavours are suitable for coeliacs and their fresh-fruit sorbets do not contain any derivative of animal origin so are ideal for vegans so there's no excuse for not having ice cream Curtis Audiophile Cafe is three spaces in one: a music venue for live performances and DJ sessions co-owner along with Kuldeep Singh of Masala73 says that ‘between the trends of Peruvian and Mexican food here it seems the Catalan palate is changing’ Indian restaurants have been around in Barcelona for about 25 years Masala73 isn’t a classic Indian restaurant the type with 70 dishes on the leather-bound menu – in fact ‘Everything revolves around the curries because usually at an Indian restaurant curry is treated as a side dish and everything else is a side.’ Aros describes Kuldeep Singh ‘I was executive chef and he was the dishwasher in a restaurant where we worked together and in six years he’s become the head chef The essence of Masala73 – a stripped-down yet refined space – is ‘to use the Kuldeep family’s recipes and modify them using local and updated techniques and products’ They don’t want to even hear the term ‘fusion’ And the truth is that what they do they do well: the short menu at Masala73 features four excellent curries (green vegetables The spirit of the contemporary food truck – new recipes crossed with street food – will take them far: the ‘Bomba Mumbai’ looks like a meat-and-potato ‘bomba’ you’d pick up in a Barceloneta bar but it’s made with veg and chickpeas and features a potent curry mayonnaise I like to think that the Garage Beer Co started like Apple: in a garage With two friends who wanted to make craft beer and ended up flying the Millennium Falcon of hops With a humble idea that turned into a colossal triumph Once you step inside you notice that you're not in any old craft beer bar but that sensation is broken up here and there by the tall tables and stools as you enter The granite bar acts as the perfect bunker for those who don't want to venture too far into the belly of this tavern 2.0 which you'll also see in this massive altar is the aesthetic leitmotif of a floor that also features a lounge full of hipster-inspired retro sofas the jewel in the crown: a small factory where the Garage Beer Co team brew up their own beer And that's just what I order: a home-brewed smooth amber called Riba that comes in a personalised house class I decide to follow the barman's advice and accompany the beer with one of the culinary offerings They say the porchetta sandwich is heavenly but I'm curious about whether they've got the nachos right These are better than 80 percent of the supposedly Mexican restaurants in Barcelona it's not just a factory – it's the garage of your dreams the antidote to industrial beer that doesn't give you much more than a big fat hangover You might even waltz right in without noticing the curious drawing of the two men on a tandem bike Maybe it's the curtains at the entrance that give this cocktail bar an air of intimacy that gourmet drinkers love so much Young bartenders dressed like old-timey drinks mixers grab from an endless selection of boozy treats with magic hands prepared to whip up any recipe with a sniper's marksmanship you'll even be singing the praises of your long-suffered mother-in-law Can Xurrades has moved from C/Gran de Gràcia uptown to C/Casanova and it's no longer a Catalan tavern (the type with a décor that favours images of farmers and work animals doing their thing under the blazing sun) – it's a proper modern restaurant And though you'll still find standards that have always been on the menu Chef Rafa Martínez specialises in high-quality beef Big fans of good food already consider Igueldo to be a model for traditional cuisine with a modern flair and they're pleased to find that it's not too over-the-top or pretentious This place will always put you in a good mood including a bright hardwood floor and white walls and columns The back is available for reservations of up to ten people live up to the high expectations they created for this one their presence has raised the quality of other places in the area whether their excellence spread out to their neighbours or they simply forced competition superlative cuisine and reasonable prices draw in not only gourmets from this area of the Eixample but also faithful patrons who come specifically to enjoy the delicious the existence of both a meat grill and a fish grill attracted us to one of the lovely Basque tables Most of the regulars go right to the Oiartzun rib This option is a combination of ingenuity and good taste which also results in delicious starters like the anchovy and strawberry salad and the fantastic barbecued artichokes with fresh foie gras We also recommend trying the traditional dishes like the peppers stuffed with 'txangurro' (crab) But it’s the barbecue that shines: hake served with clams and fried with garlic onion and pepper; diced tuna with sweet tomato; sweetbread brains and kidneys; or fish from the market cod filet with cod tripe and barley or the twice-cooked squab with salsify a particularly tasty edible root that very few chefs dare to use a platter of fine cheeses and freshly prepared desserts which varies according to Ana’s tastes excellent lighting and a welcoming ambience will give you a fabulous evening out in one of the best restaurants in the city Are you someone who likes to run and loves craft beer your new place of worship is Mikkeller Bar Barcelona the bar brings you 24 different taps of the craft beer you crave It's one of the most 'hygge' places in the city 'Hygge' is a Danish concept that has become synonymous with a nice afternoon at home on the sofa watching films under a blanket with candles and an herbal tea in your hands
