Where to eat in Poblenou, Barcelona's trendy neighborhood

Poblenou combines tradition and modernity, perhaps one of the keys to its success, and this also extends to its restaurants.

If we were talking about an ancient port city, we could say that the two towers protecting them are breakwaters: Bogatell and Mar Bella. In between and on either side is Nova Icària, and inward is the incipiently frenetic rhythm of a neighborhood that is beginning to vibrate to the sound of the city.

Thank you for watching

Unveiling itself as a neighborhood, displacing Gràcia as a hipster district and stripping itself bare for the locals. Poblenou, this isn't new; it's the latest trend among Barcelona's alternative movements .

Nightclubs, coworking spaces, traditional bars, a few supermarkets, factories, junkyards, and, yes, a culinary offering to be reckoned with.

Whether you work in a local office and forgot your Tupperware, or you're going to the beach and don't want to stop by McDonald's (as usual), or you just want to go there on your own to discover the charms of the neighborhood.

Whatever your reasons (sometimes you don't even need them), here are some of the places you can go to eat in Poblenou :

Carrot Café

Poblenou is fortunate to have one of the most exclusive places to eat sandwiches in all of Barcelona. Carrot Café's American influence is clear, but it doesn't neglect the Mediterranean flavor. Among its sandwiches, you can find everything from bagels to hamburgers, coca bread with black sausage, Mallorcan sausage, and, above all, plenty of pastrami , the house's signature product.

Where? Carrer de Tangier, 22

Balius

You only have to see its facade to realize that entering this restaurant will feel like a trip back in time to the depths of retro (the premises were formerly a drugstore). This gastro-cocktail bar is located in Poblenou , and anyone who goes there knows two things for sure: that the old-fashioned atmosphere you'll find here isn't found just anywhere, and that its lomo de orza (pork loin ) should be included in any self-respecting tourist guide.

Where? Carrer de Pujades, 196.

Koh

Believe it or not, this restaurant wasn't named after a local. Let's start by saying that free will sucks. Ordering implies regret (not because you made the wrong decision) and wanting to come back. A menu that's got your mouth watering just from looking at it. Ramen, baos, and various Asian dishes in a place that's been open for four days . Koh's most unique feature is that the plates and glasses on the tables were designed by the owners.

The Fishermen

It's hard to call a classic: sober and modern at the same time. This is one of the best places in all of Barcelona to eat fish, and that, in a port city, is saying something. Incidentally, in its heyday, it was once a fisherman's tavern.

Where? Plaça de Prim, 1.

Soup

It's called Sopa, and coincidentally, there's always soup among the first courses. Its menu is entirely macrobiotic, vegetarian, and partially vegan. But Sopa is much more: its produce is fresh, the

Where? Carrer de Roc Boronat, 114.

Super

It's Sopa's sister restaurant (at least in morpheme form). Lame jokes aside, Super is a five-star takeaway restaurant. It makes takeout an art form. In other words, it's a modern restaurant where they serve food directly in Tupperware for decent prices . Oh! If the weather's nice, eating at the tables outside is a joy.

Leka

To be honest, we haven't had the chance to go to this one (although we're looking forward to it), but we couldn't help but include it on the list. Leka is known for pivoting from the open source concept: they tell you upfront how they make everything. Even the clothing and furniture! And, of course, the menu too: if you haven't been, you can check out their website and cook whatever you fancy. By the way, they make their own soft drinks.
