Food & Drink


Top Restaurants
  • El Xampanyet • Spanish / Legendary tapas experience. We stood at the stand-up bar, pointed at food behind the glass counter and got served unlimited refills of their homemade sparkling wine called 'xampanyet'.
  • Disfrutar • Tasting menu / #1 on World's 50 Best Restaurants (2023). A 28-course tasting menu!
  • Eldiset • Spanish / Classic wine bar serving wines only from the Catalonia region of Spain. The food is incredibly tasty.
Top Bars
  • Paradiso & Sips • Cocktail bars / Both cocktail bars have won the title of "Best Bar in the World". They are great for drinks. Paradiso is more novel with over-the-top drink presentation whereas Sips is more practical and subtle.
  • Two Schmucks • Cocktail bar / This bar is incredible. The drinks are complex and very well done.
  • Dr Stravinsky • Cocktail bar / Amazing bar that makes/infuses their own alcohol, so their drinks are unique and different. Great vibe as well.
