Where To Eat in Rome

Rome is a huge city with so many things to see and so many places to try. Here’s a concentrated list of some restaurants, bars to try based on the tips from local friends and believe me they were all amazing!

      1)   Montecarlo Pizzeria: This place is not chic but they offer the best and typical pasta&pizza in town. It’s a place really from Rome located in downtown. And they have HUGE portions. They don’t take reservations so you may need to wait for a table but it’s definitely worth it.

     2)   Ristorante Mezzo : It’s a really nice and a chic restaurant located in Trieste area. The wine selection is very wide and there are experienced sommeliers to help you through. The food is really tasty with creative touch.

      4)   Ponte Milvio District: One of the coolest district in Rome where you can do bar hopping.

Met Bar Aperitivo

I would suggest Met Bar, an outdoor bar/restaurant. I would definitely recommend it for it’s aperitivo accompanied by delicious cockatils.

Il Chioschetto

Il Chioschetto is definitely the prettiest bar in the neighborhood with a  narrow terrace looking over the river and the bridge. Drinks are cheap and it’s open till 3 am.

     5)   Art Café and LaVilla are two nice and pretty nightclubs which are less alternative and plays commercial music. Goa  Club in Via Libetta is less chic and more alternative

Top Places to Eat in Barcelona

Let's admit there are so many places to eat in Barcelona but most of them are way to touristic, taste isn't good and the prices are high. Here's a small list that you can try:
1) Ciudad Condal: To have the best tapas in town. It's very crowded so I suggest you make a reservation. It's in the intersection of Gran Via and Rambla Catalunya

2) Cerveceria Catalana: Another very good tapas place, couple blocks away from Ciudad Condal

3)Casa Alfonso: Located in Urqinaona, this places offers quality traditional food as well as tapas

4)7 portes : Place to go if you want to taste the best paella in town. It's a bit expensive bu worth every penny. It's between El Born and Barcelonata, reservation is a must.

5) El Xampanyet: This small bar is located in El Born they serve only cava and jamon. It's a very different experience. There are no places to sit so you eat outside while meeting new people. It's very cheap and very tasty.

6)Maka maka: Located in Barceloneta, this small place serves the tastiest burgers in Barcelona. the atmosphere is cozy and friendly

7) Bar Lobo: One of my favorite bars in Barcelona. The decoration is amazing as well as the cocktails and tapas. It's a must go place. It's on a side street of La Rambla 

8) Cafe Berlin: It's a very cool bar with different cocktails.

9) W hotel - Eclipse: This hotel is located at the heart of the city and it's night club is one of the best in town. Even though you don't like clubbing you will love this place for it's view

10) Bar Sutton: One of the best night clubs in town. If you are travelling as a group get a table where you can enjoy yourself more!

11)Plaza Real: This secret courtyard lies next to La Rambla. It has large number of restaurants and night clubs. I don't suggest the nightclubs however have a drink at one of the restaurants and enjoy the vibrations of the piazza.

12) Bastaix: Located in El Born near the church this little cave offers the oldest scoths in town. It's a must try place.

13) La Luna: Again in one of the side streets of EL Born you will find this bar which is pro in making mojitos.

14) La Fabrica: Try this place in El Born if you like empanadas.You will feel as if you were in Argentina.

15) Happy Pills: The best candy shop in Barcelona. First you choose the size of the cup you want to purchase then you fill it among infinite choices of candies. Then you choose a tag that you want to label your candies. There are variety of tag choices. The candies are the yummiest as well as the stores.
