Diversus Restaurant, Born – Barcelona

The Restaurant Diversus is located a few steps from Paseo del Born, in the neighborhood of La Ribera, in the middle of two of the routes most frequented by walkers in Barcelona: the modernism route and the “Cathedral of the Sea” (book of Ildefonso Falcones) and very close to Parque de la Ciudadela.

We discovered it by chance some weekends ago, the truth is that the restaurant pleasantly surprised us both value for money, as the price itself. Read more
