Cafè Zurich
It doesn’t have the atmosphere of the cafe of the same name that once occupied this prime spot, but not even the hardest of hearts can deny the location is impeccable. Pull up an outdoor pew for the human circus that is Plaça de Catalunya, or huddle over a paper on the mezzanine on a winter’s day. In summer it stays open as late as 1am.

Granja Viader
For more than a century, people have flocked down this alley to get to the cups of homemade hot chocolate and whipped cream (ask for a suís ) ladled out in this classic Catalan-style milk bar–cum-deli. Together with one of the many pastries on display, the offerings here make for the sweet tooth’s ideal breakfast. The Viader clan invented Cacaolat, a forerunner of kids’ powdered-chocolate beverages.

Tèxtil Cafè
Several museums and other sights house great restaurants and cafés. In the medieval courtyard of the future Centre de Disseny sits the charming Tèxtil Cafè, where you can enjoy light meals (such as vegetarian couscous and salads), cake and coffee in between visits to the surrounding museums.

Cosmo
This groovy space has psychedelic colouring in the tables and bar stools and high white walls out back for exhibitions. With a nice selection of teas, pastries and snacks and set on a pleasant pedestrian strip, it’s perfect for a morning Facebook session on your laptop or a civilised evening tipple while admiring the art.

Cafè de l’Òpera
Opposite the Gran Teatre del Liceu is La Rambla’s most intriguing cafe. Operating since 1929, it is pleasant enough for an early evening libation or coffee and croissants. Head upstairs for an elevated seat above the busy boulevard. Can you be tempted by the cafè de l’Òpera (coffee with chocolate mousse) ?

Cafè del Centre
Step back a century in this cafe, in business since 1873. The timber-top bar extends down the right side as you enter, fronted by a slew of marble-topped tables and dark timber chairs. It exudes an almost melancholy air by day but gets busy at night.

Vreneli
For banana or carrot cake and a cup of coffee on a grey winter’s day, this long, narrow bar with soft mood music is a good place to come in out of the cold.
