The 10 Best Restaurants In Sants-Montjuic Barcelona

Sants-Montjuïc lies in the southeast of Barcelona, and is a vibrant area where most attractions centre on the Parc de Montjuïc, an area complete with museums, a castle, Olympic facilities, and fantastic city views. There is also a selection of fantastic restaurants and bars to end a day of sightseeing. Here we explore 10 of the best restaurants in the area.

1. Bangkok Café

Cafe, Restaurant, Thai, Spanish

Bangkok Café is just one example of Barcelona’s love for international cuisine. Tucked away in a backstreet just minutes away from the Plaça del Centro metro, this hidden treasure features characteristic chalkboards full of recipes adorning the interior, as well as an array of surprising and delicious dishes. Guests can enjoy aromatic, home-made dishes, with a very useful spice rating on the menu. The fresh and lively atmosphere makes it a wonderful place to enjoy some top notch Thai cuisine and even Thai beer as a bit of an alternative to traditional Spanish cuisine.

2. Abrassame

Market, Restaurant, Mediterranean, Seafood

Inside the dome of the shopping centre in the Plaza de Las Arenas lies Abrassame, a fantastic restaurant specializing in fish dishes and seafood. This fresh Mediterranean option boasts an extensive menu, as well as daily specials made from ingredients sourced from the daily fish market. Despite its popularity for its seafood, Abrassame also scores highly with its selection of meats, be they fried, baked, or grilled. On top of its flavorsome and unforgettable food, Abrassame boasts spectacular city views from its comfortable heated terrace. For a unique and special experience, the dishes here are cooked on view, making the preparation just as much a part of the experience as the dish itself.

4. The Tatami Room

Bar, Restaurant, Asian, Japanese

Based on the concept of izakayas, almost the Japanese equivalent of tapas, The Tatami Room is perfect for those who love the idea of tapas, but would like to try a more innovative alternative. In a cosy basement bar, guests sit at sunken tables and tatami mats for a very relaxed and typically Japanese experience. Feast on shared plates of noodle and rice dishes, or sashimi and tempura. The famous formula of the Japanese noodles combining Iberian pork with chicken broth creates such a flavor and intensity that it keeps bringing people back for more.

The Nectari

Reflecting a clear balance between the creative and traditional cuisines, The Nectari boasts delicious dishes in a friendly and comfortable environment. Paying close attention to quality and creativity, dishes at the Nectari do not disappoint.

With coconut-infused creations from the head chef, amongst so much more, you’ll certainly find something to excite. Wash the unique flavors down with a wine from their extensive and extremely popular wine list.
