Barcelona is one of the best places to eat in Spain, not only it offers an array of wonderful places to eat, but its fabulous location by the sea offers brilliant unmatched views of the Mediterranean.
El Nacional, a multi-space culinary space in the heart of Barcelona, opened in 2014 and its building was inspired by the 1930s and 1040s style. It has 4 different spaces with their individual decor, from chandeliers to more modern lights, from super-comfy lush seating to more humble, yet modern, wooden chairs, there is plenty of variety to chose from. One thing is for sure, this place will wow you.
La LLotja is a fish restaurant inside El Nacional, where you can get some of the freshest fish in town, that's their claim. This place is like a fish market where they cook the produce for you. You can see the fish on the counter, choose what you like, and they will weight it and either bake, grill, steam, fry or barbecue it for you. They only offer quality fish, but not only fish, you can also have fresh vegetables, soups, salads, pastas, and even meat.
For Christmas, La Llotja encourages their customers to donate to local charities, which they match with donations of their own. So you get to eat great food and help out others in need.
