Where to eat in Poblenou: a local food guide
Poblenou is one of the best food neighbourhoods in Barcelona: local, relaxed and full of variety, from classic Catalan seafood to great coffee and brunch. Here are our favourite places, all within an easy walk of the beach and the club.
Quick bite near the club
Kebab House, Carrer de Salvador Espriu 61, just a five-minute walk from Kush House. Our go-to order is the number 12, the plato kebab con arroz: a big plate of chicken, beef or mixed meat with rice and salad, plus bread and a drink, for around €8.50. Generous, fast and seriously good. You won't be disappointed.
Quick picks
- Els Pescadors: Seafood and rice (Plaça de Prim, 1)
- Can Fisher: Rice by the beach (Av. del Litoral, 64)
- Els Tres Porquets: Catalan tapas (Rambla del Poblenou, 165)
- Bar Nuri: Tapas and rice on the Rambla (Rambla del Poblenou, 34)
