Rosalía’s favourite restaurants in Barcelona: from classic bars to international cuisine
Rosalía’s recommendations are changing the way many people choose where to eat in Barcelona. The artist mixes classic bars with contemporary restaurants, creating a food trail that connects tradition, quality ingredients, and international options.
Among her favourites is Malparit, in the Eixample, a spot with an open kitchen and a friendly atmosphere. She also returns to Estimar, in the Born, where fish and seafood take centre stage in a more refined experience.
The list includes accessible options. Bar El Pollo, in the Raval, is one of her go-tos for simple dishes like omelettes, while Bar del Pla offers tapas with a creative twist in a classic setting.
Rosalía also visits historic places like Bodega La Palma, in the Gòtic, as well as more informal spots like Bar Bocata, in Gràcia. In all of them, she looks for the same thing: direct flavour and authenticity, without the need for high prices.
Her curiosity goes beyond local cuisine. Italian restaurants such as Xemei or Le Cucine Mandarosso, and Japanese ones like Shunka, round out a selection that blends styles and reflects the city’s culinary diversity.
These kinds of lists have a direct impact on local life. They attract new customers, put neighbourhood bars on the map, and help rediscover long-standing spots, turning each recommendation into a real plan for eating out in Barcelona.
