Best pizza. Converted garage. Post-session.
About
Barcelona's best pizza — wood-fired Neapolitan with serious sourcing, served in a converted garage in upper Eixample. No pretension, long queues, and consistently the most satisfying post-session meal in the city.
XRED EYEZ Guide Note
Parking Pizza is the classic post-social-club feed for Barcelona. Arrive early or expect a queue — the pizza is worth both.
Possibly the best-value tapas in Eixample, Cervecería Catalana draws a mix of locals and savvy visitors who know to queue early. The Catalan-style tapas are generous, the beer is ice-cold, and the bread with tomato is the best in the area.
Carrer de Mallorca, 236, Eixample · 08008
A 19th-century Barcelona Cotton Manufacturers Guild building transformed into the city's most beautiful hotel — original marble columns, domed ceiling, library lounge, rooftop pool, and 83 rooms designed by Lázaro Rosa-Violán. The Gran Via address sits inside the Eixample luxury spine between Passeig de Gràcia and the social club layer.
Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 670 · 08010
Barcelona's original grand hotel — opened 1919 as the Ritz, renovated in 2012, still the most storied address on Gran Via. Palau restaurant, rooftop pool, a Belle Époque ballroom still in use, and rooms that carry a century of city history. The reference point for formal Barcelona luxury.
