If you’re on the lookout for a restaurant in the Eixample district of the city, this is a name you’ll definitely want to jot down. Located opposite the Sant Jordi swimming pool, Glug is much more than a hangout for foodies as wine also plays a prominent role here (hence its name). The couple in charge, chefs Iván Garcia and Beatrice Casella (the latter, a native of Turin, is responsible for the wonderful desserts), offer cuisine that is informal, does not follow any set rules, and is designed exclusively for enjoyment. The menu, featuring delicious dishes such as onion soup and “buttons” of Comté cheese, works with seasonal ingredients, combining aspects of Catalan and Italian cuisine in a highly interesting and creative way.
