Barcelona After Hours: Must-Book Restaurants During Fira Exhibitions

Barcelona is a world-class city for food, and booking ahead is key - especially at the top tables.

Here are some standout places worth considering:

Fine Dining & Michelin Stars

Disfrutar - Consistently ranked among the best restaurants in the world, Disfrutar offers a highly creative tasting menu led by former elBulli chefs. Expect playful, technically brilliant dishes and a full sensory experience, this is a must-book well in advance.


Lasarte - Holder of three Michelin stars, Lasarte delivers refined, contemporary cuisine with flawless execution. The elegant setting and impeccable service make it ideal for special occasions, client entertaining, or an unforgettable business dinner


Cocina Hermanos Torres - Another three Michelin star standout, this restaurant features an impressive open-kitchen concept where diners are surrounded by cooking stations. The menu is innovative yet rooted in flavour, offering a unique and immersive fine-dining experience.


Cinc Sentits - A one Michelin star restaurant focusing on modern Catalan cuisine with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Intimate and thoughtfully curated, it’s a great choice for those looking to experience authentic regional flavours with a refined touch.

Other Great Choices Around the City

Palmer Restaurant - Stylish and conveniently located near Fira, Palmer is perfect for relaxed yet polished dinners after a long day at the show. The menu is approachable and well-balanced, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for teams or clients.


Atlantida - Known for its Mediterranean comfort food, Atlantida offers hearty, flavourful dishes in a warm, welcoming setting. Its proximity to the venue makes it a practical option for an enjoyable meal without travelling far.


Narandam Restaurant - A casual, contemporary spot right by the Fira Congress Hotel, Narandam is ideal for laid-back meals, quick bites, or drinks between sessions. The relaxed atmosphere and flexible menu make it a convenient and social choice during busy exhibition days.

Tips for booking:

Restaurants like Disfrutar and Lasarte often fill up weeks (even months) in advance - plan early.

Barcelona dining tends to start later in the evening (often 8 pm+).

A mix of fine dining and more casual weekend spots can balance networking with local flavour.

Whether it’s celebrating the end of a successful show day or impressing visiting clients, Barcelona’s culinary scene won’t disappoint.
