La Báscula is a vegetarian restaurant in the Born area. It's an old chocolate factory, and still has the original scales used for weighing as part of the floor just inside the entrance.

The menu has a good select of salads, crepes, pastas and sandwiches and cakes, all made on the premises and reasonably priced.

An impressive list of drinks runs from chai to Gliwein, taking in cocktails, milkshakes, smoothies and iced tea.

It is only open evenings from Wednesday to Friday, and on Saturdays you can also go for lunch.

El Bulli is possibly the most talked-about restaurant in the world today; this Michelin-rated establishment sits on the coast of Catalonia in Barcelona, and specializes in startling gastronomic experiences.
Chef Ferran Adria is utterly devoted to his craft and the mad scientist of gastronomy actually spends most of the year in his food laboratory concocting the menu for El Bulli's open season - May to September.
Dinner is an extraordinary experience, occasionally exalted and frequently frustrating: diners are cossetted like guinea pigs, their reactions scanned by the maître d' and the great Ferran Adrià himself.
Place a reservation in October for the following year and keep your fingers crossed.

Popular with locals, this restaurant has a small dining room decorated with works by various artists. Creative cuisine offering an innovative approach to traditional recipes. Its divine tasting menu takes in small portions of Catalan specialities such as cap i pota (a stew of calves' head and feet) and langoustine with botifarra sausage and cod tripe, and renders them so delicately that even the most squeamish diner will be seduced. Each item on the menu has the makings of a signature dish.
