Barcelona’s Best Restaurants in the Gothic Quarter, El Born, and El Raval - Eater

"Take a breath and step off the street and into this green oasis, the ultimate find in El Raval. A gravel-filled courtyard is shaded by ancient trees surrounding a water feature that looks like a large meteor covered in green moss, and the soundtrack is wood pigeons serenading each other under the trickling fountain. And that’s just one of the beguiling spaces here. After marveling at the ambience, grab a coffee and a bikini sandwich, a popular quick snack of ham and cheese on toasted, square white bread. They also do drinks in the evening." - Suzy Taher

Mealtimes in Barcelona: When You’ll Be Eating Lunch, Dinner, and In-Between Meals | Eater

"A tucked‑away café inside a bookshop that opens onto a lush, plant‑filled garden terrace; it’s ideal for a light lunch, a midday vermouth, or a scoop of ice cream on a hot day and rewards seekers willing to hunt it down." - Melissa Leighty

I really loved the atmosphere here—it was exactly my kind of vibe. I ordered the pistachio cake and a cortado, and I was genuinely surprised by how delicious the cake was. It’s honestly one of the best cakes I’ve had in a long time! Not overly sweet, perfectly nutty, and absolutely delightful. Highly recommend this place if you’re in Barcelona!

It's a very calm place hidden in the middle of a very busy area. We had the daily menu which was delicious and a good offer.

Going inside La Central bookstore you will find a cafe with a beautiful garden which you can relax in and enjoy some coffee. The cafe is great, with good coffee and food available.

An absolute hidden gem. One of my new favorite spots in Barcelona. Sun in February/March is perfect around lunch time and early afternoon.

The place is awesome, very chill and the terrace is full of palm trees and greens, great spot to loosen up 😊 however the chairs could be a more comfortable one . 🥪 I tried the Cod fish sandwich (3rd picture). I liked their bread pretty much, which I believe is an important part of a sandwich, but the fish taste wasn't my favorite to be fair . 🗣️ It's a self service concept where you have to order at the cashier and the both times I visited it took long time to order

My favourite hidden gem in Raval. The food is genuinely good, with the kimchi salad being my favourite. The drink selection is great and prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is unbeatable - it's like a quiet oasis between the loud surroundings. Honestly it's easy to forget it's so central. I can truly recommend it.

Nice place to have some drinks. Full of trees, plants and sounds of birds it is a really lovely place to drink if you manage to find a table. We ordered drinks which were great, service was a bit slow but it seems to be the same everywhere in Barcelona. There are three toilets which weren't great, no toilet roll either which isn't ideal. Would still visit again in the future and would recommend a look if you are in the area as the birds just sound so beautiful!

There's a few bad reviews but I loved it. It's usually not super crowded, has basically all you need for a refreshment after walking around and also a few drinks if you want to booze up. Also it's super green and quiet.
