Best Tuna ever @ Tarragona!

30/6/2015

46. It has been a long time since I was last so pleasantly surprised with the quality of this restaurant. If you are in the mood and fancy good quality tuna and feel like being next to the sea, take a day out in the are of the Delta del Ebro, in this wonderful small village called the Ametlla de Mar there is this wonderful restaurant La Llotja (the fish market in catalan) with extraordinary dishes. There are two seating areas: inside and a small terrace outside, even though it may appear it is warm I really much prefer to sit outside, it is adorably decorated and they have really funky fans.

The restaurant also appear in teh Michelin guide.

All the menu is designed inspired in fresh and best quality fish. The alioli is to die for and the salmon and tuna are just worth the trip there! Amazing!!

Right on Paseo de Gracia there is this lovely restaurant named Qu Qu.
You can either sit outside or inside which in my opinion is more intimate.
The food is just gorgeous, it is more a lovely place for aq quick bite rather than to spend hours eating.
The food is inspired in traditional catalan and mediterranean.
Pan con tomate, calamares, fresh fish and lovely starters.
Ideal for a hectic shopping day or just a busy day at work!

Get lost in Magical hidden spot... Casa Fuster!

42. Casa Fuster is one of the most emblematic hotel buildings in Barcelona´s city center. Located in the heart of Barcelona, on Paseo de Gracia, this genuine gem designed by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner symbolises the spirit of modernism in its maximum essence.

I just love its ground floor cafe, which feels like entering into Alice in Wonderland as the change of colour, furniture and ambience takes you back in time and a wonderful sensation of peace invades your hole spirit.

The terrace on the top floor is also wonderful in lively warm summer nights and jazz is played in various evenings during the summer season.

This is just a lovely place to meet with friends for coffee or just have a quiet time for yourself surrounded by a magical and enchanting environment.
