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 culinary route that connects tradition, quality ingredients, and international options.
Among her favourites is Malparit, in the Eixample, a place 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 spots like Bodega La Palma, in the Gòtic, or more informal places like Bar Bocata, in Gràcia. In all of them, she looks for the same thing: straightforward flavour and authenticity, without the need for high prices.
Her curiosity goes beyond local cuisine. Italian restaurants like Xemei or Le Cucine Mandarosso, and Japanese ones like Shunka, round out a selection that mixes styles and reflects the city’s culinary diversity.
This kind of list has a direct impact on local businesses. It attracts new customers, puts neighbourhood bars on the map, and helps rediscover long-standing spots, turning each recommendation into a real plan for eating out in Barcelona.
