Hi! Yeah, I’m posting this in 2017, I don’t think anyone is going to read it by now…

I’m from Catalonia, living in Singapore now, and thanks to your posts I’m really enjoying my eating experience in Singapore!

I’m very glad to read that you loved Barcelona! Hope you come back soon and see many many places more around it.

I just wanted to make a clarification on the post, when you said:
Spanish Tomato Bread – toasted bread rubbed with fresh garlic and ripe tomato, then drizzled with olive oil and a bit of salt – is something that’s eaten all over Spain.

Actually, bread with tomato is only eaten in Catalonia, the rest of Spain is not used to it yet, although lately our way of eating bread is becoming more popular in other regions of Spain

Bread with Tomato and Olive Oil is probably the thing I miss the most now that I’m here in Singapore.

This is my first comment in the blog, so I will take the opportunity to say Great Blog and Thank you very much!

I love this city, it’s colourful, Young and has a lot of vitality. I don’t know why I don’t live here, I was last summer in Barcelona and was amazing, and the best restaurant was Cheri!

Hi Lady Iron Chef,

I have been following your blog for quite some time! I wanted to share that I have recently been going to these “eatwith” events with locals around Barcelona. They invite guests into their home to eat with them, it is a great way to eat different kinds of food and meet new people. I suggest you go, I think you would enjoy it.

Thanks for all of your tips so far, just wanted to pay it forward as well.

Les Quinze Nits @ Plaza Real is also a good and reasonable fine dining restaurant.

Hey, love your blog:)
I don’t think Barcelona is the pickpocket capital of the world. We just have to be careful like everywhere else.

7 Portes- pretty good paella place!
And there are a couple of stalls at Market Boqueira selling awesome tapas as well, Bar Central(baby squid ftw) and Pinoxto Try them when you visit Barcelona again!

Oops just saw that you replied you can try Lolita Taperia the next round.. Beef with horseradish and chocolate with oil & salt were marvelous .. Drooling just thinking about it. Reservations not necessary but do go early even on weekdays as the crowd starts forming at around 7-730pm.

Hi, I just went there last month. Love the city xx

I also went to Tapas24, I tried Bikini Comerç, Arroz Negro con Sepia and xocolata.

And i will recommend you to try Tickets Bar (http://www.ticketsbar.es/). The food was unique and perfect. You should try.. Keep in mind, the reservation is needed.. I even reserved 2 months in advance.. but it worth it

@celestine: Good to hear that you had a great time in Barcelona! Let me know if there are any places that I should try the next time I am there?

@Ally: hello I was in Barcelona in Dec last year, the weather was perfect. You should plan another trip for year-end!

May I know when was your travel period? I went in April and I didn’t get such good weather. It was raining almost every other day.

Read your reviews on tapas bar hopping in Barcelona before heading there three weeks ago. And I must say your recommendation of Cerveceria Catalana was spot on, the food and atmosphere were both great. We were early, did not have to wait, and had an amazing meal!

We visited Barcelona while we were living in London. You can imagine the number of european cities we visited during the years… but my then 6 year-old will firmly tell everyone about his only favourite city, Barcelona!

I love Barcelona as to why I’ve an apartment in Passeig Del Born and frequently leave the craziness of SG to head to my place. I do think you staying in Las Ramblas was a little touristy. A good vino y tapas place is near St Maria church (Born) is Taller de Tapas. Unlike SG, where long queue is a kiasu way, queues outside Taller de Tapas means it’s kick ass food. Try it next time.

I’d also recommend you to get lost in Barcelona. There are hidden bars and amazing chic restaurants, a secret that the locals won’t tell you, unless you get lost yourself. I’m no local in Spain (a sgporean) but having been in Barcelona and having a place there, I can tell you, there are loads of amazing places to explore.
