Rank 1. Besta
European Bistro
A neo-bistro on Aribau where Galician coastline meets Catalan market and, somehow, a stint in Sweden. The chef pulls all three threads into a short à la carte and tasting menus that run from nine courses up, with a seafood course that works through Atlantic shellfish in decidedly modern ways. The chef's table bar lets you watch the kitchen finish dishes while you eat, which is either charming or slightly stressful depending on your personality.

Rank 2. Funky Eatery
Mediterranean Bistro
Half gourmet deli, half bistro, Funky Eatery splits its Eixample space between shelves of carefully chosen groceries and a dining room turning out colorful, creative cooking that wanders freely between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. Natural wines are poured throughout. The team behind it came from engineering and marketing, which might explain why the whole operation feels more considered than most places this cheerful have any right to.
