La Fonda del Port Olimpic Moll de Gregal, 7-8-9 Port Olimpic 08005 Barcelona 93 221 22 10 Map This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel.

Ateneu Gastronomic Pas de l’Ensenyanca, 2 bis Barri Gotic 08002 Barcelona 93 302 13 57 Map Based on previous experiences with “traditional” Spanish and Portuguese food, my first instinct was to avoid this place.

D’Arrys Wine Shop 2-4 King Street Cambridge CB1 1LN 01223 505015 Situated where the old Cambridge Arms Pub used to be, D’Arrys is a relatively new entrant to the Cambridge scene.
