This is a veritable institution in Barcelona, as it boasts an unbeatable central location. From its outdoor tables, you get a great view of Les Rambles and Plaça Catalunya, and this alone makes it worth stopping in for a coffee. After 100 years in business, it finally received a facelift in 1998, when the original building was torn down to make way for a part of the El Triangle shopping center, which has served to augment the number of Bar Zurich's patrons.
