- Madrid-Barcelona - C/Aragó 282, next to Passeig de Gràcia. Called this way because it was formerly a traveller's bar, when the trains passed in front of it, it's a very convenient restaurant for three reasons: It's very close to La Pedrera and the other monuments in Passeig de Gràcia, serves good and quite typical food in a place with history, and the prices are very moderated for the zone where is located. About 12€. Most dishes are fried things, such as pescadito frito.
- Cerveceria Catalana - offers the best tapas in town! This place is always busy, and has a lively atmosphere. Prices are average. c/ Mallorca at Rambla Catalunya
