The best areas we found for food, particularly tapas, seems to be more popular with locals than tourists which is alwasys a good sign for great food! Used to be used for jousting and knighting, look out for the only remaining gothic house at no. 17.

My favourite neighbourhood to stay in. The culture, food and locals are greta and you couldn't persuade me to stay nearer to the tourist areas if you tried!

Origen 99'9% was a little restaurant found by chance. And it quickly became evident that this little place would become a firm favourite. It only has dishes from the native Catalonian region, but served as "half-servings" so diners can sample a wide range of tastes (all food and wine come from the local area). The menus themselves are actual seasonal magazines with information on local produce, events, and a catalogue which to buy goods from (attached to the restaurant is a store were you can buy items from the menu, such as the delightful fig bread, assorted sausages and wines of the region). This particular branch is open from 12:30 pm until 1 am. Website is in Spanish and Catalonian only.

As you walk into the Chocolate Museum, you can't help but breathe in the scent of chocolate. It's just a short walk from the Picasso Museum. Featuring the history of chocolate in English, Spanish and Catalonian. While the museum is targeted at children, there are a number of scupltures, with the most stunning being one of the Sagrada Familia (the famous church designed by Gaudi). But the best part would be end of the museum, a little cafe serving hot melted chocolate and other treats. Well worth a visit. The Chocolate Museum is open to the public from Monday to Saturday, 10 am – 7 pm and on Sundays, 10 am – 3 pm. The museum is closed on Tuesdays except for bank holidays. Prices: Single ticket: 3,80 € On the first Monday of every month, entrance is free to all.
