One of El Poblenou's most romantic settings, century-old Can Recasens conceals a warren of warmly lit rooms full of oil paintings, flickering candles, fairy lights and fruit baskets. The food is outstanding, with a mix of salads, smoked meats, fondues, and open sandwiches topped with delicacies like wild mushrooms and Brie, escalivada (grilled vegetables) and Gruyère, or sobrasada (spicy cured sausage) with rosemary honey.
There's live jazz every second Wednesday.
