Barcelona L’Eixample

With sidewalk cafes serving everything from fusion to traditional Catalan cuisine, wandering in l’Eixample easily induces rumbling stomachs, especially during a long day of shopping. These upper neighborhoods are full of good places to spend a long dinner (especially l’Eixample Esquerra), but the restaurants are scattered around and interspersed with plenty of nondescript corner bars serving the endless apartment buildings in the area. If you want to sample one of l’Eixample’s trendy, high-quality restaurants, pick one ahead of time and put the blinders on as you walk past all the others. Be sure to make reservations on weekends and be prepared to pay a lot for the food and atmosphere.
