Hi guys, how are you today?
Today I'm gonna talk about some of my favorite places in the city in general, and maybe later I can divide it in categories.
When I first arrived and to be honest, until I complete a year living here I had no idea about where to go, and most of times ended up in some touristic place that sometimes the quality of the food is no good at all and more expensive than other places, but after knowing more people (specially locals) things changed.
Oh, in the end of this post I will give you some tip of how to get eat with discount #yeey
Soooo, let's do it...
- L'Arrosseria Xàtiva

This restaurant/bar is so far one of my favorites and here's why: the view! From the terrace you can see part of the city and it's right in the front of one of the harbor. Usually there is a live DJ on the terrace. Going there to catch the sunset with some cocktail and friends is one of the best things you will ever do. In the restaurant you can eat classic Mediterranean food. Average price 40-50€ p/ person, they also offer lunch menu on weekdays for 12€.

Ok, so after telling you guys some of my favorites places here, I promised some extra tip and here it goes... What helps to save a LOT of money, is making a reservation on TheFork (ElTenedor), I don't know if you're familiarized with their app or webpage, but here in Barcelona it really works. You can find places offering discounts from 20-50% on their menu and every month they post different places with 50% discount (including Michelin ones, one of my friends were lucky enough to get it hahaha).
I hope you all liked my tips.
Let me know if you've been there and how was your experience.
Btw, I'm not being paid to talk about those places or about TheFork, just some real tips from my on opinion and experience.
See ya!
