This Week’s Places To Be - Photo Diary - Cafe Bistro Petit Pot

I had second thoughts whether to do this post or not, since for me this place is not really one to be, but in the end I decided to do it because I thought there might be someone who actually enjoys it. So if you’re in the lookout for a quite busy, meticulously designed, and a bit expensive place to have a breakfast or brunch on a Saturday, this place is for you. The food was ok, but the best thing  that it happened was that the sun's reflection on the glass door made a cute rainbow on our table. 

This Week’s Places To Be - Photo Diary - La Cometa

On my way back from yoga class I discovered this cute cafeteria called La Cometa. It’s really close to  the place where I live, in the l’Eixample neighbourhood. A few days later we went there, and when I sat down and saw the menu, I realised the place is very similar to a favourite place of mine, that I didn’t have the chance to take photos of yet, called Cosmo. I really recommend these two places, the design, the food and drinks, the atmosphere are just great. They have great homemade cakes and all kinds of sandwiches with vegetarian options. It even has a small terrace on the sidewalk. It’s a really good place to have a brunch on a lazy Sunday. 

This Week’s Places To Be - Photo Diary - Gopal Barcelona

Hi there,

I wanted to tell you about Gopal, a small place in the center of Barcelona where they make vegan burgers.

We were lucky to find it, a friend of ours took us there. I like it because its vegan, tasty and cheap enough.

You can eat there or take away, and what I like the most is that they sell vegan cheese as well…..yeaaahhh...

Discovering Catalunya - Places To be - Barracuda

I thought of combining this post with my Places to be project, since the place I present this week is a 

restaurant/ beach bar located really close to Barcelona. It’s quite easy and fast to get there with a car 

and most probably with the train as well. Castelldefeld’s beaches seem less busy than the ones in
Barcelona they seem to be wilder as well.

The restaurant, Barracuda, member of Tribu Woki chain, it's organic, has a cool design, its menu is diverse
 both in foods and desserts, but we decided to go for desert only.
The atmosphere was relaxed and in my opinion its worth for a try if you wish for a quiet afternoon.

This week´s - Places to be - Photo Diary - Tribu Woki

One of the Tribu Woki´s places is actually an eco supermarket and luckily it is a small restaurant as well.  

It has a great variety of vegan delicious food and desert. We ordered a veggie burger, a vegetable "empanada",

 a pudding pie and an absolutely delicious cherry cake, the best till now. The place is an oasis of silence 

from the city´s noisy environment,  we´ve been there a Saturday morning at it was the perfect place to be. 

If you need a place to buy your healthy groceries from and relax a bit afterwards, try this shop. 

This week´s - Places to be - Photo diary - Makamaka

This very cute place is located in the Barceloneta neighborhood. Being so close to the beach and the 

city center makes it a really crowded, busy and cheerful place, often visited by tourists. It´s design is 

quite funny actually and colourful, they kept a vintage/retro look with a lot of elements referring 

to the 80s, or a bar for surfers or Baywatch, the series.

They offer a big variety of salads and burgers, loads of juices, smoothies and cocktails too, so you 

have plenty of opportunities to pick something healthy. We ordered a "Shark Bite" juice and a 

"Toffee Coffee" and they were delicious. 

All in all this place has a good atmosphere.

This week’s - Places to be - Photo Diary - El Jardí

This terrace and tapas bar is located inside the Barcelona library garden, Jardins de Rubio i Lluch. 

It’s location, overall look and arrangement among the building’s walls gives it a unique and great feeling. 

When we got there, we got lucky and found a cute table, one with flowers, and sat down to enjoy a cup of tea and coffee. 

To our amazement there was even good, not to loud, electronic music playing. 

A few days later we went back, this time after sunset and found the bar with small lights lit up all

 over the place and with candles on every table. This time we ordered a delicious brownie and a cheesecake.

If you wish, you could order typical Spanish dishes, tapas or even salads and other vegetarian food 

to eat and cocktails or even natural juices to drink . All in all its a great place that looks like a small

 oasis with plants and trees surrounding it, its certainly a good place to escape from the city center during rush hour.
