Reviews / Restaurant

Visiting a foreign country often can feel like a retreat from your normal daily habits, including your personally curated diet, but venturing outside your comfort zone is one of the most rewarding aspects of travel. However, if you’re far from home and long for a piece of normalcy, Barcelona has a handful of restaurants that can cater to your habitual meal cravings.

One example is Le Petit Pot, located one block from Plaça Catalunya. Its central location and tourist-friendly prices keep this café alive, but also help it remain a secret just a few steps off the beaten path.

The cozy carve-out is dimly lit, leaving plenty of room for the chef’s dishes to shine. Start with a soul-soothing tea from its menu of international infusions. Like elsewhere in Spain, coffee is served around the clock and can be prepared to order.

Food served at the café/bistro ranges from brunch specialties like French toast and breakfast sandwiches on focaccia to lunch servings of pulled pork sandwiches, quiches, empanadas and burgers.

Just passing through? Kick back on the leather chairs just inside the sliding glass door for a café con leche and a homemade muffin. Charge your devices or connect to WiFi while you charge your body with coffee.
