THE place for tapas in Poble Nou. Fresher and more imaginative cuisine than their neighbours on the Rambla and not expensive for the quality. No tables on the Rambla sadly but it's all about the food.

This is the best bakery in the barrio by a long way made extra nice by the big glass windows so you can watch the bakers at work. Great selection of different types of bread plus your sweet things.
