Exploring Barcelona’s Best Restaurants: A Food Lover’s Guide
Barcelona is one of my all-time favourite cities. Known for its stunning architecture, especially landmarks like the iconic Sagrada Familia, it’s no surprise that the city attracted over 26 million visitors in 2023. From Antoni Gaudí’s masterpieces to its world-renowned food scene, Barcelona offers an unforgettable experience for both the eyes and the taste buds. I wrote a blog post last year about two great restaurants I tried during my visit to Barcelona, and after returning a few months ago, I discovered even more must-visit dining spots. So, I thought I’d share my new favourite Barcelona restaurants with you! Time Out Market Barcelona: A Foodie’s Paradise If you’ve ever visited the Time…

It is often described as Amsterdam’s little sister, but has a character of its own. It is also a foodie dream!

Bristol: A City of Culinary Pleasures
Bristol is a foodie’s paradise. There’s such a vast selection of good places to eat throughout the city.

West Street Kitchen A good place to start the tour, we enjoyed coffee and these super- cute cakes. Glitch Glitch is a hairdresser’s, but in true hipster style, they offer a nice line in rustic pizza. I really couldn’t get…
