Authentic Paella in the heart of Barcelona!

-Como Restaurant-

When in Barcelona we got hungry close to 11pm. We decided that tapas and authentic Spanish food is what we were in the mood for. We visited this small, cosy restaurant and we were surprised with how delicious the food was.

The seafood was extremely fresh. The rice cooked perfectly. The aromas were to die for.

The paella dish was also extremely affordable and filled us up to the brim.

If you are looking for something truly authentic and something with a homely feeling this is a must visit even in the late evening!

Avocado on Toast Fancy Edition!

-White Moose Cafe-

We visited the White Moose Cafe in Cabra to get some good hearty and healthy breakfast. We were not disappointed.

The toast itself was very fresh and made of good quality bread. The avocado moose on the toast was fluffy and had an interesting texture. The egg was perfectly poached with hollandaise sauce poured on it which was also creamy and perfectly tangy. The avocado slices were my favourite they were so creamy and deliciously fresh you could just eat them on their own!

For all avocado lovers this is pure heaven!

Seafood lovers this one is for you!

-Mercado De La Boqueria- Kiosko Universal-

Barcelona's oldest food market dating to 1840 being 181 years old!

One of the most vibrant places we went to when visiting this diverse city. A lot of food to choose from but..the Kiosko not only caught our eye but our sense of smell.

*TIP*As this place is always full, don't stand there waiting remember to give your name to the waiter who will call you when your seat it ready.

When we sat down it was difficult to pick. We choose the Grilled Squid and the Garlic Gambas (Prawns).

We have tried a loot of seafood..but we both agreed this was the freshest we have ever had.

The prawns were so tender and so well seasoned, they were melt-in-mouth. The squid was had so much flavour and wasn't chewy.

We couldn't pass on the patatas bravas and rightly so as they were homely and delicious.

Another tip when going to the kiosko, a glass of house white wine or a glass of sangria is a must, one of the best house wines we had in Barcelona and if you are a group a whole bottle is also affordable.

If I could do anything one more time.. I would come here and have these dishes again!

Little gem in little Ireland! If looking for innovative Italian taste look no further.

-Wallace Asti-

Located on 15 Russell St, it is hard to miss!

We came here to try their speciality Black Pinsa pizza. It was one of the most interesting tastes. The dough is flavoured with charcoal which adds an interesting texture, taste and of course colour.

We got the four cheese as the second pizza. The traditional pizza also had fresh dough and good ingredients even though we were not a fan of what tasted like smoked cheese on the pizza, but we believe it is preference. We would still come back to try a different one.

The Bruschetta had an interesting twist of the rocket leaves and sweet balsamic reduction. The buffalo mozzarella was creamy and a great addition to the sweet cherry tomatoes.

If looking for not-an-everyday type of pizza the Black Pinsa is a must try.

One of a kind experience.. and charcoal has health benefits too.. what is there not to love.

Buon Appetito!
