Never before have restaurants had so many ways to make themselves known as they do today. And foodies, those people who love good food and the experiences that revolve around it, are the best allies for both restaurants and diners eager to explore new flavors and places.

Without further ado, these are the restaurants in our city that are not famous in social networks, but are the ones that foodies are recommending Why is that?

Restaurants you must visit at least once in your life

1. Can Saia (Bruc. 157)

This restaurant does not appear in the rankings, as it is not frequented by social media influencers. This restaurant has earned its fame thanks to word of mouth, it is a family restaurant that offers impeccable service with a very respectful cuisine with the raw material.

The homemade food is its essence, there you can delight yourself with beans with castanyons or tear peas with sausage that will leave you speechless. And not to mention their artichoke omelet or cheesecake, you have to try it for yourself, because words are too short.

2. Mari and Rufo’s House (Freixures, 11)

Here the noise is part of your dinner. This is one of the most authentic experiences in the Born, where trays of seafood and fish -which is its star product- are always on display.

In addition, we recommend the grilled cuttlefish or scallops that are out of this world. This is a restaurant without many pretensions regarding its decoration: tables close together, a lot of noise and movement, but why else if the food is the only protagonist here.

3. The star (Ocata, 6)

It is considered one of the best room services in the city. Here you can enjoy the best seasonal produce, and lots of artichokes and peas are served.

Four generations have passed through the restaurant La Estrella and have been in charge of offering the best homemade dishes. It is located behind the Estación de Francia, and they make the best rice dishes and codfish. The meats are treated with great care and they have a magnificent wine cellar where they prepare the most representative desserts of our city: you have to ask for the wasabi ice cream.

We also recommend that you pay close attention to the dishes that are not on the menu, you will be surprised!

Wakasa, one of the best Japanese food restaurants (Nàpols, 287).

It is incredible that this restaurant of homemade Japanese cuisine is still a secret, because it is said that this is one of the best restaurants of its kind in Barcelona. The nigiris there are like works of art, the udon noodles with house sauce are simply indescribable and the service is exceptional. you can’t ask for more!
