Inside the Experience
If you find yourself wandering through the charming streets of Gràcia, Barcelona, make sure to pause at Cafè Diamant. Nestled in the picturesque Plaça del Diamant, this delightful café exudes a warm, inviting atmosphere that beckons locals and visitors alike. With its unique terrace area—an oasis for people-watching—Cafè Diamant offers a perfect retreat from the bustling city life.
From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by friendly staff ready to serve a selection of delectable dishes. Guests rave about the affordability of the offerings, especially when compared to other squares in the area. Whether you're in the mood for tapas, a refreshing salad, or a hearty sandwich, each dish is crafted with care and attention to flavor. I personally fell in love with the bikini and mallorquín sandwiches; they were rich in taste and generously portioned.
The café’s beverage menu shines just as brightly as its food. The flat white, praised as one of the best in the area, provides the perfect caffeine boost to kickstart your day or keep you energized. Pair it with some satisfying patatas bravas or delightful nachos for a more substantial snack. What truly sets Cafè Diamant apart is not only the food but also the vibe; you might find yourself immersed in conversations with friendly locals or losing track of time as you enjoy the familiar tunes wafting through the air.
Cafè Diamant is a perfect blend of tradition and community. The walls, adorned with local art, tell the story of Gràcia's rich history while the laid-back atmosphere invites you to sit back, relax, and absorb the local charm. Whether you're a local or a traveler, this café serves as an ideal spot to unwind and savor the flavors of Barcelona.
As the sun shines over Plaça del Diamant, securing a spot on the terrace may be a challenge, but the experience is well worth the wait. When adventure calls after a fulfilling meal, you’re just a stone’s throw away from Gràcia’s vibrant streets; it’s a delightful journey filled with exploration.
So, come and lose yourself at Cafè Diamant, where every meal is a celebration of good food, good company, and the spirit of this beautiful neighborhood.
“ Located in the Plaza Diamant and offers the only terrace area that you can sit in the square(apart from the public benches offcourse). The service is quick and friendly. The prices are lower than the other squares which is perfect. The food I tried so far was also delicious. The only downside is if there is sun, it can be veeery hard to find place in the terrace area but this is the case for everywhere in Gracia. ”
“ Great local bar with many options, located in a cute square in Gracia. Flat white is strong and one of the better ones from a traditional (not third wave) establishment. Highly recommended! ”
“ If you want to spend a few hours in the afternoon after a long day of sightseeing, this is the place to be. Great tapas, a very fine selection of drinks, friendly staff and a lovely playlist of music that sounds like there's a gramophone player in the corner. All for very affordable prices (I'd almost say cheap, but I wouldn't want them to change that because it's part of their charm: a small hidden gem in a great big city) ”
“ One of my favorite cafes in Barcelona! Great staff and quick service, I’ve met some very kind locals here and made great friendships. I’ve got the bikini and mallorquín sandwiches which have been so tasty. They have great cafe con leche as well. ”
“ A good place for snacks, we ate nachos and patatos bravos. Everything was delicious, so I put five points. The price and potion size are average. ”
