Below are all but a few of the hundreds of <strong>Barcelona date ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"> Options at your discretion could range from the truly authentic Catal\u00e1n <strong>experience<\/strong> at L\u2019antic Bocoi del Gotic, the Venetian<strong> cocktail bar<\/strong> Sub Rosa or the secluded and atmospheric rooftop garden Bar Jardin. Barri G\u00f3tic\u00a0is bursting with <strong>bars<\/strong> and <strong>restaurants<\/strong> for romancing daters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The neighbourhood of El Born is home to a wealth of ambient and <strong>comfortable bars<\/strong> and eateries, here you will find the likes of Rubi Bar, a hip and red cushioned gin bar, the intimate lighting and informal but elegant decor of restaurant El Pla, or take to the tiny winding streets to find one of Barcelona\u2019s favourites for <strong>first dates<\/strong>, La Fianna.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/how-to-have-a-low-cost-date-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to have a low-cost date in Barcelona<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Introducing Oddland cocktail lounge, where an earthy decor, laid back vibe and <strong>atmosphere<\/strong> take you a step into experiencing El Raval\u2019s bar scene. Don\u2019t just stop there, delve deeper into El Raval\u2019s repertoire where you will find the cocktail bar Cocteleria Tahit\u00ed, owned by Javier Cejas. Serving up traditional recipes from tiki culture, which, in short, is inspired by nostalgia from South Pacific beaches after World War II, making rum the mixologists\u2019 area of expertise. Just a few doors down is the <strong>contemporary and elegantly styled<\/strong> Negroni bar, same owner but with an altogether different inspiration and concept. If you converse with the mixologist for a moment about your tastes you\u2019ll be gifted with an <strong>extraordinary<\/strong> <strong>cocktail<\/strong> appropriated to your preference. In my case it was a classic Italian negroni, the gin component substituted for whiskey and with a coffee infusion. <strong>Exquisite<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Share with a special someone the delectable <strong>experiences<\/strong> on offer in Sant Gervasi, whether its the mediterranean and un-intimidating modern cuisine at \u2018A Contraluz\u2019 where the ambience and magnificence of <strong>dining<\/strong> are combined within an evergreen garden setting, or seasonal Japanese <strong>concept cooking<\/strong> at Wagokoro, with a menu that is harmonious, thoughtful and free from any pretensions that evoke a metaphor for your <strong>date<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-45486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Romantic-Barcelona-Restaurants-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Romantic Barcelona Restaurants\" width=\"326\" height=\"215\" \/>All of Barcelona\u2019s neighbourhoods are not to be overlooked when looking where to go on a date. This statement definitely goes for Eixample which is home to the <strong>legendary cocktail bar<\/strong> Dry Martini, internationally renowned as one of the <strong>best<\/strong> on earth. Enter the password protected, underground, clandestine restaurant of Speak Easy through the kitchen of Dry Martini. Javier de las Muelas, owner of both establishments is responsible for these <strong>sumptuous<\/strong> <strong>venues<\/strong>. The later recreates a gastronomic space inspired by the prohibition era in America in the twenties. Here you can enjoy a <strong>unique food<\/strong> and <strong>cocktail pairing<\/strong> inspired by the cocktail, offering a different <strong>gastronomic experience<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">If you\u2019re the <strong>adventurous<\/strong> dating type then put your senses to the test by eating a romantic three course meal in total darkness.
