Gay restaurants and queer-friendly cafés can be found in many neighborhoods in Barcelona, but the most visible one is in the Gaixample in the Eixample Esquerra. Around Carrer del Consell de Cent and Carrer de Muntaner, you can sit in a café during the day and eat in the evening, often with a clearly queer audience. Many restaurants here have been a permanent fixture on the scene for years and are a good starting point for the evening before heading to the bars.
In addition, you don't have to look far for a table in Barcelona where you feel comfortable as a queer guest. The city is tolerant and international, and in the old town, in Gràcia or at the port, eating out for gay couples is as normal as anywhere else. The spectrum ranges from simple tapas bars to Catalan cuisine to restaurants for special occasions. Those who go out late will benefit from the city's late meal times, when dinner often doesn't start until around nine or ten. Whether you are looking for a permanent trendy restaurant or simply want to eat well and relaxed, the following selection will give you an overview.
