Terraces and patios to enjoy al fresco dinners in Barcelona

Barcelona, ​​despite being a city, is populated with pedestrian walkways and avenues, squares, gardens and interior patios that hide gastronomic gems to enjoy. Comfortable and well-lit outdoor spaces that are transformed at nightfall into the scene of encounters full of flavor.

The Punctual Winery

It is an open secret that Bodega La Puntual eats in luxury when looking for a restaurant in El Born: good market cuisine with some off the menu that offer tasty surprises and wines at shop prices with corkage service.

An ideal setting to taste premium Iberian products, oysters and stews very well executed and served by a staff that takes great care of customer service.

Superclassic

The name of this place, open months ago, was chosen by its chef and owner Stefano Mazza (Last Monkey) presciently: although his intention is to pay tribute to vermouth and classic tapas, his large terrace located in the Dr. Fleming Gardens , in the Raval, is so coveted when the sun goes down that it is already a classic place to stay late. In Superclàssic you will find good vermouths (some of them macerated by themselves), a well-drafted beer in the Madrid style and some interesting wines that are the perfect complement to their elevated tapas made with products from the neighboring Mercat de la Boqueria.

Denassus

Of Denassus it is important to say that its owners are two sommeliers, as this data indicates that the liquid part is cared for as much as the solid part. It is located in the heart of Blai street, the best-known pedestrian area in Poble-sec, and has a terrace that opens the small premises outwards. Its terrace is frequented by chefs, sommeliers and lounge people who come looking for a good place to enjoy on a Monday, the classic closing day for many restaurants. A short and well-thought-out menu, with select products, which includes both tapas and seasonal dishes with fair preparation. And of course, a very extensive wine list: Alejo Mailan and Sergio Ruiz select references from small producers who make unique wines from curious vintages and small productions.

Mother House

And have dinner with views of the monumental Sagrada Família? In Avinguda Gaudí, for less than half a year, Casa Madre has flavored this pedestrian avenue with succulent traditional dishes where the product shines, as well as tapas to share with pairings of classic and signature cocktails, if desired. Its terrace is spacious, comfortable and lively, and has another unexpected pairing: alternating tasty bites with the sight of the basilica illuminated at night.

Private Gastrobar

Finding a restaurant with a terrace and open to the outside in the Gòtic is a rare sight. For a couple of months, Particular has been an oasis of animation, informal bites and cocktails inside the old town. They have a wide selection of mojitos to accompany simple, appetizing and refreshing dishes, all of them seasonal and based on local cuisine. A youthful and dynamic atmosphere to enjoy the flavor of the most traditional corners of our city.

light house

The brand new Casa Luz allows you to enjoy another type of fresco: that of the heights. From the top floor of the hotel with the same name, located in Ronda Universitat (above the mythical Student Bar), Tomás Abellán offers cuisine based on the product without many complications, letting it show its brilliance and flavor in a short and simple menu. well focused. The toasts will also be high, the selection of its wine list is signed by the brilliant sommelier Ximena Arce.

Mon Viet

They won't have the most chic terrace, but Món Viêt offers authentic Vietnamese food that, in the height of summer, is most refreshing. With strong roots in a cuisine with little frying, lots of fresh vegetables, meat and fish, it is an excellent option for a dinner with fun and surprising dishes to share. Plus, it's great value for money, casual and friendly service, and home-made lemonades so nice and icy cold they'll be the first thing you want as soon as you sit down. For coffee lovers, it is advisable to end the evening with a traditional Vietnamese coffee, sweet and sweet.

Bar Maracaibo

The sunsets of the Venezuelan Maracaibo can be enjoyed at Bar Maracaibo, with the orange light silhouetted between the masts of the ships: here the views are nautical, as this oasis of comfort is located at the beginning of La Barceloneta. His proposal is based on international hits whose common link is that they eat with their hands (who wants, of course): delicious sandwiches and fun finger food dishes. Its terrace is very lively, with a good musical atmosphere, the perfect setting to share dishes and savor a good selection of craft beers on tap, a cocktail.

Dr Zhang

In this house the dumplings are a delight. Anyone who enjoys this traditional Chinese recipe, which consists of bundles of rice or wheat pasta with tasty fillings, will find their new favorite restaurant here. Dr. Zhang has a wide selection, with boiled, fried or grilled versions, even for dessert! Its charming terrace is small, and includes a bar that allows you to see how the tiny kitchen bustles with these delicacies. Its owner, Èlia Caralt, spent two years in Shanghai trying different dumplings every day and when she returned to Barcelona she took those recipes with her to offer these tasty morsels that, in addition, turn out to be beneficial for health.

benzine

A good plate of pasta always feels like it. There is an English saying that, translated, comes to say that a plate of pasta a day keeps the doctor away. At Benzina, rather than distance, it attracts: its Italian-style dishes offer a broader vision of the vast and rich world of cooking with artisan pasta. Added to this proposal are meat and fish dishes that are worth trying, either with cocktails or with their imported Italian wines. Its terrace is in a pedestrian walkway with easy access and is very elegantly lit: the only drawback is that it doesn't allow you to enjoy the fantastic selection of rock classics that sets the scene inside.
