Boca Grande

Boca Grande buzzes with fashionable diners savoring fresh seafood and Galician dishes. The expansive dining area, decorated with dramatic 19th-century flourishes, encompasses three rooms and a tempting oyster bar. The must-order dish for the table is the whole fish baked in a layer of coarse sea salt. For after-dinner gin and tonics (Barcelona’s favorite digestif), diners head to Boca Chica, a hopping bar embellished with colonial relics. Even the washroom is cool: 18-foot-high walls glimmer with oversized antique mirrors and the DJ spins the latest dance tunes (yes, in the restroom).
