​408. Last Friday we had the honor of lunching very important people!! We decided to try the most classic yet prestigious restaurant in Barcelona, La Farga. Original a very Barcelonian patisserie, now it has turned into a chic restaurants cafe. They have mid day menus of 17€ with authentic Mediterranean dishes, The best part? Dessert of course! A whole trolley of beautifully presented French inspired cakes to choose from. 5 Star service and extremely polite and friendly staff. We loved it and certainly a must!! Not too pricy for the sleekness and quality of the meal!

Fusion of Bakery and Hotel all in one: PRAKTIK!

28/4/2016

239. Charming bakery located in calle Provença right on the Eixample of Barcelona. This is a strategic location since right across from the street there is a lab for people to get blood tests. As you have to go without eating or drinking, people get out with the need for breakfast, and right it is, just across the street: PRAKTIK! 
This bakery has bread made on the go. Fabulous options of fresh bread to take away or to enjoy with fresh brewed coffee. Friendly staff. A little noisy and a little packed, but cute decoration and lovely atmosphere. the funny thing is to see the hotel lifts just across from the bread where the hotel guests access the breakfast lounge. Crazy!

231. If you are looking for a cool and funky concept for a coffee check this one out! Cup & Cake have coffee shops all over Barcelona and they are all different. I checked last Friday the one on Enrique Granados (right next to the diagonal) and it was kind of cramped but the coffee was delicious and the cakes and cookies all looked scrumptious. 
A lovely place to start enjoying the spring arrival with girly friends!!

119. Yesterday I finally managed to check out myself this curious tea concept, mentioned in various other blogs.... I had some catch up girly time with my lovely friends Patri & Carlota. The Hotel Majestic has created what is called the Majestic Fashion Tea. Where every day from 16H until 19H one can enjoy a wonderful tea selection with the most exquisite plum cake (soft and tender) accompanied with  cute and delicious macarrons and the best of all a chic menu of éclairs. The éclairs as the most glamorous, delicate and majestic pastries in France. The Hotel Majestic has designed a menu of éclairs where each one has a name like Rosa Clara, Jimmy Choo or even Bulgary! Beautifully classy!

Faity tale shop...secret and enchanted...

66. I was going from one appointment to another when i suddenly bumped into these beautifully set bunch of pink flowers in the middle of the street. It automatically caught my eye and made me go and see what was inside! Jaime Beriestain is called. I was so pleasantly surprised!! These beautiful flowers made me go into a shop which seemed secret; it was difficult to see from the outside. This wonderfully tasteful decoration and furniture shop is perfectly presented with original pieces of unique furniture and gadgets for your house. It even has more surprises, the shop ends in an enchanted cute café which seems more like a secret garden ideal to really disconnect and disappear from the city... marvelous!

51. This beautiful and unique hotel right on Paseo de Gracia offers two gourmet options. I tied one of them the other day... simply to die for! We tried the Bistreau, located on the basement of the Mandarin Oriental. This beautiful sea theme restaurant has famous Angel León as head chef. This One Star Michelin Star genius impresses his guest with a algae flour butter followed by colorful, delicious and incredible fresh sea products. They have a testing menu and an executive menu which offers a three course meal. the bread is lovely and no matter what you order everything tastes wonderful, perfectly cooked, no grease, light meal in style! No need for reservations for the lunch option.

No matter what you choose you cannot go wrong! Have a coffee in their tea area and grab of those tempting little sins! You will feel you have walked into heaven!

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

5/6/2015

0 Comments

 

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.
