📖

Full description

Bar restaurant Martinez carries the highest hidden-gem and local scores in this Barcelona batch alongside one of the lowest must-see scores, a profile that matches reviews describing it as a locals-only spot with no English spoken. Despite fewer than 150 reviews, it holds a 4.6 rating, and reviewers highlight both the authentic atmosphere and genuinely good value on food and drinks.

One reviewer even recounts the owner keeping a forgotten item safe until their return the next day, a small sign of the personal, neighborhood feel. It's a fitting stop for travelers wanting an unfiltered slice of everyday Eixample rather than a polished tourist-facing restaurant.

Reviews

Great value! We had an espresso and wine there. Authentic atmosphere. We left something behind and the owner kept it to give back when we returned the next day- thank you
