The 10 Best Restaurants In Poble-Sec
Only a few years ago, Poble-sec was a mostly residential area known only for its cheap and cheerful bars. Nowadays, you’ll find that Poble-sec is in fact home to some of the most talked about restaurants in the city – and for good reason. Here’s our guide to some of the best.
1. Mano Rota
Mano Rota
At Mano Rota guests sit across from the chefs at work. The dishes are certainly not those you would expect in your local rincon. Try exciting options such as octopus with crispy pancetta or the yuca croquetas.

2. Palo Cortao
Palo Cortao
The beauty of Palo Cortao is the way it seamlessly blends the old and the new, the North and the South. The jamón is hand carved on demand, the escabeche is homemade, the salmorejo tastes of the South – a tribute to the owner’s Andalusian ancestry –, and the pescado frito is freshly fried, using only the best from the fisherman’s net.

This tiny venue’s tagline is ‘Fried fish and Rock & Roll,’ and that is exactly what you can expect from La Chana. The kitchen is no more than a corner behind the bar, but it suffices to produce some of the best fried fish in town. The soundtrack is a mix of rockabilly, rhythm & blues, soul making this the perfect place for an upbeat atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon.
