Your Barcelona Fringe trip

Start with the shows you want most, then build the rest of the trip around their rooms and times: where to eat before, where the night goes after, how you get back, where you sleep and what it all costs.

02 / Before the show

Great spots, better timing

Pick the show first, then fit dinner and the night around its room and its end time. These are independent places in the old town, not festival events; The Clubhouse Laietana serves food at its own shows. Out for lunch on a weekday? Look for a menú del día: three courses and a drink.

A bite before the showCal Pep Over 70 plates to share, cooked in view of the bar from fresh, seasonal produce. The bar takes walk-ins; the 26-seat dining room is best booked ahead. Plaça de les Olles, 8, 08003 Barcelona · Map ↗
