Le Divan
Carrer de Guillem Tell 10, 08006 BarcelonaDescribed by French owner Albane Krenpp as a "neighbour’s restaurant", Le Divan has become a popular haunt in the area. The leading concept behind the French-Mediterranean restaurant is fusion, as observed in the aesthetics, atmosphere and menu. It has a cosy, intimate atmosphere, while the menu offers a blend of the two cuisines in creative dishes, such as their prawn ceviche sweetened with passion fruit and mango. Krenpp is passionate about her choice of products and delivers high-quality ingredients. Specialities like her popular French oysters and foie gras are reasonably priced, as well. Beyond their innovative tapas and mains, Le Divan also offers countless cocktails, and even hosts musical concerts on select evenings.

Cacao's Gelato Siciliano
Riego 19, 08006 BarcelonaFamous for its homemade gelato, Sicily is also home to a wealth of other delicious delicacies, such as cannolis, sfoglia di ricotta and granita. At Cacao’s, you can savour them all. The shop’s charismatic Sicilian owner, Pietro Mandraffino, refers to himself as the ‘ice chef’. His passion for authenticity and quality ingredients is apparent in the sumptuous and bold flavours of the gelato he serves, such as dark chocolate and orange, lemon and basil, and traditional cassata. Where Mandraffino’s recipes originated, in southern Italy, the warm temperatures call for low-fat cream and fresh fruit as opposed to flavoured syrups, making for more intense and zesty granita. Local fans can also reserve space at Cacao for their birthday or group parties.
