Pepa Tomate is the ideal place to have typical Mediterranean tapas with a personal touch. They offer a good variety of vegetarian dishes, many of which I am eager to try. This time we went for the legendary ‘bravas’ (perhaps not the best I’ve tried, but they are good), spinach fritters with honey aioli (a pleasant surprise), ‘calamares a la andaluza’ (you can tell the product is of a good quality), and meatballs with potato parmentier. Everything is very tasty and transports you to the traditional dishes of a lifetime (if you grew up in the Mediterranean) with an original and surprising touch. I recommend eating on the terrace if the weather is nice, although the inside of the restaurant is very cozy. See you next time, Pepa Tomate!

'Medialunas', 'alfajores', etc. are some of the 'facturas' you will find in this small Argentine pastry shop in Barcelona. A little piece of Argentina in the heart of Barcelona. It is a real delight. The owners are very nice and welcoming. I went with an Argentinian friend who was missing Argentinian sweets, and she almost took half the store with her!

I haven’t had the chance to try many Chinese restaurants so far, but I can say that this one is delicious. In addition, it is very well decorated, and we were very well attended. We ordered fried bread and vegetable and mushroom ravioli as starters, and then a main course each. The fried rice with mushrooms and bamboo that I ordered was simple but very tasty - ideal for vegetarians. Next time, we’ll try some desserts!
