Hidden away by the Mercat de la Llibertat, from where many ingredients are sourced, chef Alexis Peñalver's La Pubilla specializes in hearty "esmorzars de forquilla" (fork breakfasts) beloved by local residents. There's an outrageously popular daily three-course menú, which stars updated-Catalan dishes such as baked cod, fig gazpacho with mozzarella or squid-and-mushroom rice. Book ahead.
The team also runs tiny Extra Bar, serving memorable season-rooted platillos (sharing plates).
