La Forquilla
“Market cuisine in a quiet environment, to wake up all the senses of the commensal” – this is the motto of La Forquilla. Located only a few minutes from Poblenou’s metro station, this is one of the most typical restaurants this area can offer you. Both the food and the service are some of the best you can find in the city.
Address: Pere IV, 210,
Schedule: Tuesday to Saturday: 13.30-15.00 / 20.30-22.00

If you’re still figuring it out where to stay in Barcelona this fall, ShBarcelona has the answer for you.
Forquilla does not do paella, and Vell Poble Nou closed in December 2016 (the spot has been taken over by the vegetarian restaurant Aguaribay), maybe you should update the post.
